@vizned the Netherlands is an advanced economy, it makes microchips which you can't. It also exports many medicines to you which you can't produce. However, unlike uour citizens, Dutch citizens are not prepared to be poor to have a large military. They spend 6% of their budget on the military. You spend 30-40%. Therein lies the difference.

@csuporj Holland has the technology and the wealth, but its citizens are not prepared to spend 40% of the govt budget on all things military. They prefer to live well. Russian citizens are prepared to be poor, Europeans are not.

@jonymanay it has. It also stole territory from Finland. It didn't help russia. Finnish citizens have a much better quality of life. Russia is doomed to expand and collapse, as it always has. The only thing that never changes it that it remains poorer than Europe, in spite of periodic territory grabs.

 @Алексей-ь9я3м you shouldn't compare yourself with the US. The US is the largest economy and military power in the world. You are an irritant.

@eddastrohmayer251 why? They will never have z better chance to escape Russia's influence and join the west. They know this, so they won't give up. If they give up, they will have no future. Who wants to be a poor slave in a mafia state when they could be like poland or Finland in 25 years.

They don't. They are imperialist in their thinking. The west is the enemy of choice now that the military has been recreated. Europe was useful for building the military, that's all.

You mean, Europe wasn't militarised and preparing to attack russia. Surely not. That would make your president a liar.

Really? I thought 20% of russians were asiatic. Or are you saying only white people are Russians? Bit racist that.
