    I don’t think most of Europeans are particularly afraid of being in missile range of anyone but the US, right now.

    And the only country that doesn’t really fit in with the EU in terms of overall values at all is Turkey, so not a lot of crazy neighbours around overall.

    And, to be honest, if the US had a modern public transport system you could probably visit anywhere worth going in a couple of weeks too.

      I’d imagine the crazy neighbour is russia. I think they qualify, and the country is in europe.

      What’s funny to me is that russia also borders the US. It’s not a land border, but the gap isn’t exactly huge.
