  1. The EU sets conditions for membership. Present-day Russia doesn't even come close to meeting them.

  3. OK, 'Lying Jackass', if Bulgaria made it by the skin of their teeth into the EU, it means Russia won't stand a chance in hell. First off, Russia is on the bottom rung of the democracy index, the one reserved for authoritarian regimes. Bulgaria qualifies as a democracy, be it a flawed one. Secondly, Russia treads on human rights like they're a doormat, while Bulgaria's violations seem to affect mostly refugees -- Russia doesn't spare its own people either. Thirdly, Bulgaria makes the grade with an open market economy. Russia, on the other hand, mixes elements of a Western-style market economy with those of a Soviet-style planned economy. Finally, Russia doesn't agree with the EU's intent and obligations -- or do you claim otherwise?
