I'm not sure what you mean by this statement. You're not saying that Britain, if it goes down the path of European integration, won't be one of the major sources of its strength? I'm sure you're aware that Britain is the 4th strongest economy in the world so I am guessing that I've just misunderstood you. Also, why do you mention Russia when; a) it's not even in the EU and is unlikely to be so at this time and b) it has massive problems with its own military and especially industrial infrastructure.

I am saying that I believe in the long term Britain will go it alone and that a "European" union will encompass Russia.
