1 is easier said than done. The EU is not rolling out the red carpet.

@haroonvlogs5437 Not with a cherry-picking mentality, no.

To achieve "growth", Russia is burning through its national wealth fund at an alarming rate. In two years, its liquid assets have nearly halved. Moreover, Russia is cranking out shells, cannons and tanks, which do nothing for the long-term economic growth of the country. Seeing how poorly those arms perform in Ukraine, and how its arms exports were in steep decline even before the war, Russia's arms industry is an unwise investment if there ever was one.

@TheDonMan97 That's been the mantra for years, but there's little to show for it.

@haroonvlogs5437 First and foremost, Cameron squandered an opportunity. Like-minded EU members approached Cameron to propose a joint bid for agricultural reform, but the good man dismissed them. Cameron wasn't out for reform, but more exclusive privileges. Predictably, after Brexit, the UK found little sympathy in these countries. On the plus side, if the UK were to reapply, exlusive privileges are no longer an issue. The EU will make sure they're not on the agenda.

@23merlino There's a distinct possibility that the EU will get Britain back in bits and pieces first. Northern Ireland as part of a unified Ireland and Scotland as an independent country. Anyhoo, it's none of the EU's beeswax. Similar separatist developments are afoot within the EU. Borders aren't carved in stone.

@garrywynne1218 Whoosh. The point here is that foreigners shouldn't decide where the borders go. Russia didn't get the memo.

@des_smith7658 Why not the Commonwealth? Oh, wait...

@j.k.1239 So Russia isn't a debt spender. However, Russia is living off its savings, which are literally going up in smoke in Ukraine. The sole reason why Russia achieves GDP "growth" is that it dips into its savings. In another two years, Russia's national wealth fund will be depleted. Unlike debt spenders, Russia can't borrow money, because potential creditors know that it can't service its debts.
