Who is the superpower in this scenario? What is the analogy to hanging, in this instance? Is not being part of a superpower a necessarily bad thing? If so, why?
- jopsen 9y agoGP is refering to Russia. Whether a superpower we can debate, but they still have massive influence. > Is not being part of a superpower a necessarily bad thing? So long as you have NATO for defense and EU for free trade, then yeah, what is the difference?
- geezerjay 9y agoLayers. NATO is a layer, one based on hard power. EU membership is another layer, one based on soft power. With regards to power, no one is best served by losing power. If you lose power you will be unable to defend your best interests. If that's a good thing or a bad thing?
- p1mrx 9y ago"second tier Eurasian power" = Russia. "the resulting arrival of a superpower" = a stronger version of the EU.
