EU is a block where the few rich, less than 5, subsidize the many poor with bailouts, loans, access to common market, open borders. Russia cannot single handedly bankroll Eastern Europe. Have you seen how entitled Poland sounds? It’s all about the money on offer.

The reason UK choose Brexit was because the UK being a stingy nation found it stupid to bankroll and open their market/border to a lot of lazy nations with no benefits in sight. Before Brexit, the UK was the biggest contributor to the EU. Today it’s Germany and France. The likes of Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria etc contributes nothing, they only access funds and market in exchange for being implementing reforms on corruption, government and human rights according to EU standards.

That Poland is the worst unlike Hungary, that knew they are not contributing and they knew that and that's the reason the PM refused sanctioning Russia.
Imagine Poland telling Norway to shared the money made from Oil and Gas with Poland and Ukraine angry angry angry
Reason Swiss have refused to be member of EU, passed a law that stated you can only come to Swiss to work anytime if you are from some particular EU countries.
Out of EU members, only 10 are rich and they rest are parasites

That tells you the difference between light & darkness.

Just make a sample to Nigerians to choose which country they would prefer to go between countries in the EU, US, Canada, UK & Australia......

Or Russia, China, India, Brazil, Iran, Syria, South Africa, North Korea?

Even all those shouting & chanting Putin would still prefer WESTERN countries than the countries they are supporting now.

The three best & strongest currency in the world is in the WEST!.... POUNDS STERLING, EURO, & THE DOLLAR.

The best schools, hospitals, missionaries,manufacturing companies, scientist, musicians, politicians, adventurers, football clubs, sports are all in the WEST.

You can find hundreds of jobs to do in the WESTERN COUNTRIES that will earn you much money..no country in the world pays better than the WESTERN COUNTRIES!

Look at the GDP of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. See what happened to it after they broke away from Soviet. Average or everyday citizens of those countries have more spending power than an average Russian.

Compare it with that of Russia which is similar to what you would get in 3rd world countries.

Those countries do not want to associate with communist losers.

If it was you, you would indeed want to go with the winning team to find out what they are doing right.
