The largest threat to Russia becoming a superpower was Putin allowing himself and the other ultra rich to take so much out of the Russia economy and keep it for themselves. Had they not down this and actually grown the economy he might have been able to get what he wanted.
- goda90 5y agoI agree that Putin and co are the primary cause of Russia not prospering. I honestly think that Russia joining the EU would be great for the Russian people and the EU, but it's not great for plutocrats.
- modo_mario 5y agoOn one hand yeah but on the other it would require a ludicrous amount of change that we won't see for the forseeable future. Additionally Russia and Turkey's populations are too big would create power imbalances in the EU that Italy, Germany and France wouldn't like. Oh and eastern EU countries are absolutely (and justifiably) paranoid over Russia of course
