In 2013, drawdowns meant to happen over 5 years were accelerated to happen in one. That didn't work out so well.
Not inviting Russia to join or dissolving the clearly anti Russian NATO and scattering it to the winds. Seriously, is there not a good ending in which Russia wins?

What the fuck are you talking about
Russia has been horrifically dysfunctional even at its best points in the last century; in other words, no.

quotes
It HAS been argued on and off in foreign policy circles for quite awhile that, in the 90's, the continuation of NATO was seen by the Russians as stonewalling them. However:
A: the suggestion was never dissolution, but merely reorganization/rebranding to a name not associated with the cold war struggle
B: inviting Russia into the organization, new or old, was never considered a valuable move to anyone, including, by all accounts, the Russians themselves, who at the friendliest wished to be independent partners (which hey, was actually attempted)
C: this is effectively just a thought experiment because that ship, if it was ever a practical option, ceased to be an option at all ages ago
D: renewed animosity from the West and NATO towards Russia is Russia's own fault anyway so
The point being is that outside of historical analysis it's irrelevant now.
God, what a world that would be...

It wouldn't be a problem if the center wasn't so weak about punishing them when they get out of line.

The existing members that is, Russia would be quite another story entirely.
yes, the eu punishing member states, what could possibly go wrong
If the locality won't obey the central authority, then that central authority has significantly less reason to exist
makes you think
That the central authority should be stronger yes
The more you tighten your grip the more states will slip through your fingers

It is a weak grip that allows them to do that
You can't impose central power like that.
Just for a recent example, say the EU forced the eastern countries to take a large amount of migrants in some forced redistribution scheme. There would be a full blown insurrection against the EU. They just won't do it.
Oh no, the Poles and Huns will resent Western dominance and reforms, not at all like now
