Re: terrorist action, I do have to say that Russia does need setbacks as well as victories.
But hey, at least Ukraine could integrate with Russia.EAF as a political union is almost ASB unfortunately. Too much religious and ethnic conflicts in a single state already exist in all countries involved and simply adding all those into one would be a tinder box waiting to explode
We'll seeBut hey, at least Ukraine could integrate with Russia.
TRANSLATION: PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES SCHIFANI: The session is open. I invite the President of the Republic to take an oath before Parliament in accordance with Article 91 of the Constitution (The Assembly stands up). The President of the Republic reads the formula: "I SWEAR TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE REPUBLIC AND TO OBSERVE ITS CONSTITUTION" (Very lively, prolonged applause, joined by the members of the Government and the audience of the stands). The President of the Chamber gives his seat to the President of the Republic and takes his place on his right. PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES SCHIFANI: The President of the Republic will now address his message to Parliament. I invite the honorable deputies and the honorable senators to take their seats. MESSAGE TO PARLIAMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC SILVIO BERLUSCONI Mister President, Honorable Deputies, Honorable Senators, Representatives of the regions of Italy, my tribute goes to the Assembly that elected me, to the Parliament in its highest composition, which expresses national representation and its historical values and, together with it, the political autonomies and cultural identities of the Italian regions. [... ...] The Italians took the floor, silenced with their sovereign voice the noisy pessimism of those who do not love Italy and do not believe in its future. They rejected the insidious campaigns of abstentionist distrust, they generously participated in the highest and noblest moment of a modern liberal democracy and said: we enable you to revive the country, it's up to you not to disappoint us. Run the institutions of the Republic, the voters ordered us. Realize what you promised to accomplish and do it quickly, because one thing is certain: Italy has no time to waste. [……] Only political stability can inspire that climate of trust which stimulates planning and undertaking, which reassures savers and consumers, which urges them to invest in the future. With God's help, with the confidence of the Italians, I will be faithful to my oath. I will be faithful to the values of freedom, justice and democracy which are the foundation of the Republican Constitution. Long live the Italian Republic! Long live the European Union! Long live Italy! |
Also, Iran is less extremists than in our timelines thanks to the CSTO. Italy would also get close to Russia I think.Regarding my predictions for Resurgent Russia, I believe that at this point France will replace OTL Great Britain as an "anti-Russian" country in Europe, while Germany will have a more "pro-Russian" stance or at least "less willing to antagonize. to Russia ".
Regarding Russia's advances in East Africa, we can expect Egypt to shit bricks and try to get as close as it can to the United States to "counter" the "dangerous Russian expansion." Or at least that would be the excuse they would use to request (and obtain) more funds from the Pentagon.
I can easily see Egypt displacing Saudi Arabia as America's "preferred ally" in the Middle East (they are far more powerful and have more projection of power, as well as being close to Russia's partners in East Africa). Although this will take time.
France yes.Regarding my predictions for Resurgent Russia, I believe that at this point France will replace OTL Great Britain as an "anti-Russian" country in Europe, while Germany will have a more "pro-Russian" stance or at least "less willing to antagonize. to Russia ".

yup.Also, Iran is less extremists than in our timelines thanks to the CSTO. Italy would also get close to Russia I think.
We'll see.I also think that sooner or later Venezuela and Cuba would return into the Russian orbit
We'll see.
More or less, though as Russian economy and it's allied state's economies start to grow further, the American response will start to become more and more hostile.That would definitely get Russia and/or the Eurasian Union on the US's shit list. I don't think this would be the start of a new Cold War, but more akin to the current US-Chinese Rivalry only more balanced with the possibility of the EU being impartial (disregarding France).
Nah. Everyone just says Eurasia for short.BTW, is there an abbreviation that we can use for the Eurasian Union since the European Union already cornered the market on the EU branding?
I would say the EAU (EurAsian Union) but I would jinx myself if an East Asian Union developed in this TL.
All recognized languages of Russia, Ukraine, Moldavia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan (the members of Eurasia) are the recognized and official languages of the Eurasian Union State.What's the status of official languages in the Eurasian Union? Will it be like in the EU where every member states' national language is an official language of the Union and all laws must be written in all official languages?
Seems like we have Duginist terrorists. Lovely.the terror continues, thoughts?
