Well, it was.I don't know, that's why I asked you. Why don't you tell us?

If I'm remembering correctly, that document lays it out in depth. At the very least, the Russians were complaining loudly about the high-handed way the EU was treating them and ignoring their concerns with respect to the legal implications. That kind of ignorant stupidity ultimately lead to the conflict that split Ukraine in two. Greece has basically been reduced to a failed state because of the economic austerity crap the EU enforced upon the Greeks for the sake of the German banks.
Now it's the EU vs. Brexit, and like I said, Italy is sitting on the sidelines while they have their own mounting debt crisis to worry about and the EU is getting snitty about Italy's ideas of launching an Italian currency. If the EU, through its supreme arrogance, truly thinks it can dictate terms to the rest of the world irrespective of the concerns of those people they're dealing with, you can bet that it's going to alienate the member states who don't do well under EU policies, and I have my doubts whether the EU can survive as an institution once the emperor has no clothes and its naked totalitarianism has been exposed for what it is.
