Nobody was forced? For real? LOL
In fact, the Soviet republics were not forced too (well maybe Baltic countries, but those were used as a buffer between the USSR and Nazi Germany). Others were parts of Russian Empire, so nobody has asked them like the European people are not being asked if they want or don't want to be a part of the USSR version 2. Paul has explained it for you in his post above. But even if 60% vote for the EU, the other 40% don't. So it' so stupid to say they are not forced. Because they are.
90% of Soviet people were happy to live in the USSR, so what? Only 70 years and there is no such a country anymore. I have serious doubts that the EU will least that long...
