EU's population: 448 million

EU GDP: 19 trillion dollars

Russia's population: 143 million

Simplifying a bit here (I'm obviously taking Morocco and Belarus for granted, assuming that Turkey wouldn't attack Greece, and so on), but it's pretty much a "gotta get our shit together" situation, because there's no reason why we should depend on the US for defense, or anything else.

I assume you meant trillion and not million for those gdp figures? Even then, they're low.
