Subtraction by addition.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

As an economic union it would make sense. Most of the former USSR is still far more closely linked economically with Russia than with Europe (or China or Turkey).

Well now lets not get all nationalistic about it.  We can like the Enlightenment in general and detest its collective enemies.

I'm a big fan of Putin.  I used to be a big fan of Berlusconi, but got bored by his antics.  Putin manages to keep coming up with funny, creative tricks though.

He's trying his best :

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Prussian Enlightenment for me, thanks:P

You want to do little more than serve the state?  Have at it.

Russian Enlightenment. Partake in arts and science, and have lots of sex.

Oh, and partition Poland.

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

QuoteRussia: 3 Countries Join Eurasian Union
By REUTERS
Published: November 18, 2011

The presidents of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan signed agreements on Friday aimed at tightening economic integration, a step toward what Moscow hopes will be a Eurasian Union linking former Soviet states. In a Kremlin ceremony, Presidents Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia, Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan, and Aleksandr G. Lukashenko of Belarus signed a Declaration on Eurasian Economic Integration, which Mr. Medvedev called "a new and very powerful step on the path to forming a Eurasian Economic Union."

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

How would a block of poor, weak nations become a major global player?

Quality has a quantity all of it's own.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
