Many Ukrainians don’t want to live in ‘Russian world’ but want to integrate into the Western society.
But the Western world doesn't care what many Ukrainians want and Western World obviously doesn't need such a poor and hopelessly corrupt country in their society (and each day Ukraine only becomes more poor and more corrupt). They already have enough problems besides Ukraine: poor countries which they have to feed and wild crowds of Muslims who blow them up from time to time. If they need Ukraine it is for using it as a pawn against Russia and for sucking up everything possible from it. Basically, Ukraine is a cheap prostitute for EU.
You seem to be a grown up boy, Esay, but you still believe in fairy tales and try to bite that carrot EU showed you in 2013 but never allowed to try. You will become дедушка (grandpa), but yet your grandchildren won't see European future. Are those Western fairy tales (сказки про белого бычка) worth messed lives of all your countrymen?
One Ukrainian politician who was famous in the past but now left the scene once said ‘Don’t try to bring Ukraine to Europe, but try to build Europe in Ukraine’. Of course Europe doesn’t need such poor and corrupt country and there will need to be years to clean up the mess caused by almost 30 years of corruption and mislead. But it is we who must clean this up and it is in our interests in the first turn.
You can call the country you live in everything you want. It will change nothing and you relentless posting on this forum will change nothing, either. If you want to change something – do it. You are telling how Americans’ taxes go to support the ‘failed state’, but at the same time you yourself also pay taxes to the ‘junta’ including so-called military tax thanks to which so-called ATO against your fellows is ongoing. And you seem to be OK with it. How pathetic.
I hate to pay them taxes for killing our people. You?
I also hate to see West turning our country (including millions of those who never needed alleged "European future") into a cheap and foolish prostitute who is doing a blow job for EU not even for real money but for promised money. It’s unbelievable example of venality (продажности) and stupidity. Instead of marrying a guy like Russia for better and worse and feeling at least protected with him, Ukraine prefers to trade just about everything it has in common with Russia (the roots, the history, family connections, religion, the Russian language half a country considers as their first language, and so on and on) and to allow the West to use it as a cheap miserable prostitute. Do you think such a prostitute has any future? I don’t think so.
But that’s what happens to a country who’s willing to trade its sovereignty and to give it to the countries who don’t give a sh*t about it's future.
Poland seems to be a little more expensive prostitute for EU comparing to Ukraine, but even Poland is thinking about exiting from EU.
Head of European Council: Poland prepares to exit EU | CypLIVE
A lot European people (more and more each day) want to exit from EU, Ukraine is the only fool who still is dreaming to enter it. But it is not gonna happen for a number of reasons. The sooner people like you understand it the quicker something good may happen to our country.
It doesn’t matter hate you something or not. But if you call on someone to stop supporting the ‘junta’, then don’t support it yourself in the first turn.
It all depends from the point of view. You see prostitutes everywhere; I see the situation a little bit different.
Let’s imagine that there are parents who have a son. When the time to study in a high school came, they faced a dilemma – to which class they wanted their son to go.
In the first class there were mostly strong (in educational sense) pupils, and good teachers taught them. This class participated in many olympiads, competitions and always took one of the first places.
The second one consisted of not too bright pupils who never reached for the stars. Their teachers were not so smart people either and were more interested in paperwork than teaching the children.
The parents were realizing that their son belonged to the second class because he never was an excellent pupil, to put it mildly, and it would be more comfortable for him there. Учился бы не напрягаясь, в общем. But if they son studied in the first class, he could significantly increase his educational and cultural level as a whole. Of course, it would take a lot of efforts and time both from the parents and their son; there would be quarrels and scandals, significant deteriorating of his average marks especially on the first stage; a lot of money would be needed for private teachers because school lessons and help from parents would be not enough to achieve the goals (this would lead to cuts of the family’s budget) and so on.
And of course no one guaranteed that the son would achieve the wanted level at the end of the studying, everything might be in vain. But if he successfully finished the first class, then not only would he increase his educational and cultural level but also he would have an opportunity to enroll in some prestige college or something like that. At the same time the second class wouldn’t give him such an opportunity.
Now a question – if you were one of the parents, which one of the classes would you choose for your son? (though, you can consider that as a rhetorical question).
Your dreams about mass ‘exits’ from the EU will be only dreams for a long time. The elections in the Netherlands and France showed this and I am sure that the elections in Germany will show it too. Brexit is becoming more and more like a parody of what it was promised to be.
And of course there will be more members in the EU because some Balkan countries will join this union too, including Serbia. And you will have to get over it.
About your ‘number of reasons’. You know, more than three years ago your ilk was arguing that in a course of several months Ukraine would virtually cease to exist as a single country. There were also the various numbers of reasons at the time. But the dogs are barking but the caravan keeps going ahead.
