As for your second question, how many can name every English county or US state. I don't think the names matter.

In an increasingly confrontational world having friends matters.
I agree of course it would matter if Ukraine was in the EU or NATO. As for the rest of your reply I can?t agree.

The reason for the question isn?t just the fact of naming the EU members it was the surprise to me who some of the members were.
