@Orcram As I wrote, difference in empires are not so important.
I live in Croatia, a country whose soldiers fought for others three times in the last 200 years (Napoleon, Habsburgs Empire, Hitler) and left bones all over Russia, without Russian soldiers ever attacking Croatia.
After Croatia joined NATO and the EU, Croatia lost 10% of its population, this did not happen even during the war in the early 1990s.
Today, after Lithuania, Croatia is the country that has lost the most inhabitants due to emigration and declining birth rates after joining the EU.
And now when I see someone talking about the collapse of Russia, I get an allergic rash.
In 2022, Croatia entered the Eurozone, that is, it introduced the Euro, and everything became more expensive, that is, inflation gained momentum.

@kevinu.k.7042 I didn't write anywhere that I don't want comments on what I wrote. I just want to say how it looks from my environment. If you live in the UK, you can comment on events all over the world, but I don't accept someone telling me what is better for me. Just that.
In the previous comment, I briefly presented the whole picture, and you took one sentence out of the context of what I pointed out to you. That was a remark, and by no means a refusal to accept the comments you are imposing on me.
I also take into account the difference between your mindset and mine.
Again, without qualifying what NATO and the EU and Russia actually are, I can state the bare facts to explain why I am writing what I am writing.
Croatia, where I live, lost fewer inhabitants in the 1991 - 1995 war than in the time since joining NATO and the EU, when it has lost 600,000 inhabitants, both due to a lower birth rate and due to emigration for economic reasons. From around 4,400,000, the number has decreased to 3,800,000 in the last 15-16 years.
Croatia is not the only one, Lithuania is the first country in the EU in terms of population decline after joining the EU. In terms of population loss after joining the EU, Croatia is second only to Lithuania, where there was no war.
I wrote all that because what you wrote is not correct, I am quoting from your comment;
"Also, your part of the world has enjoyed considerable economic benefits from being in the EU and that your country joined NATO and that gets you security and a voice in NATO along with obligations."
The question arises as to what kind of progress and security this is for any country that loses up to 15% of its population in peacetime.
For me and for many people here, the EU and NATO are questionable. It's strange to me that you tell me what I should see and feel.
I will repeat, I can listen to what you have to say, but I simply do not accept all your qualifications and you are free not to accept mine.
Each of your next comments is welcome, if mine passes the censorship of the yt algorithm.
