putin wants 'eurasian union' to compete with US & european union

putin wants 'eurasian union' to compete with US & european unionfrom endthelie.com: Vladimir Putin recently detailed his plan to build a Eurasian Union somewhat reminiscent of the USSR in the Izvestia newspaper which he aims to be able to compete with the European Union and the United States. Putin said, “We are talking about a model of a powerful supranational union capable of becoming one of the poles in the modern world.” Putin cites the “great inheritance form the Soviet Union” as a foundation for the construction of a wholly new entity to challenge European and American dominance, although he claims that he is not aiming to create the USSR.
