BRUSSELS has attracted economically challenged countries to enlarge a power-orientated bloc.
The tragedy of Ukraine is a part of this and no one should be surprised at the reaction of its neighbour.
The need for fiscal union in this developing superstate led to the rash introduction of the common currency, causing riots, injuries, suicides and poverty.
The bureaucrats in Brussels just shrug their shoulders. This time, perhaps we will resist pressure from the US to become involved in the interference with the political and ethnic allegiances in Ukraine.
Similarly, it would be prudent to stand aside from flawed ambitions in Brussels, if our politicians can take their heads out of their EU nose-bags.
This is one more reason to leave the EU, but the only referendum promise we have from the three main parties is utterly worthless.
