E.U.’s Past Missteps and Future Dangers

"The situation has underscored Europe’s divisions and exposed the chasm between the bloc’s high-minded aspirations and the rough reality of geopolitics."
I feel I should make a special category for articles on the EU and many of its constituent countries; something like, "Out-to-Lunch Foreign Policy".  So far, though, many of the key players (as far as I have been able to determine) have hung pretty tough.  Ah, but it's early.  Based on past performance, Putin would certainly be justified in thinking he can outlast them.
