Russia has supposedly been in a long and slow process of eventually merging with Belarus. A couple other countries have expressed interest in joining too, including breakaway states like Abkhazia and South Ossetia. But the whole thing doesn't seem certain to actually happen.

Nothing is certain, and the US is certainly fighting tooth-and-nail to prevent it.
But how long we can keep blue-balling every other emerging regional power on the planet is questionable.
