Petro007 wrote:we WILL have more money. Well, mayve not from the day 1 but in 10-15 years integration with EU and USA will give results. Look at the Baltics, Poles, Slovaks etc. ALL of them had since 1990 very high economic and we are in continuous shithole since independence Just look at ANY set of economic data - everyone else is growing except US and out GDP barely changed since 20 years. Your beloved kacapistan would look like us except that they got oil and they like to play being rich.
putin huylo must stop supporting these petty banana states now he sends tanks, rockets and trained terrorist agents to prevent out country from westernizing but his wickedness is now exposed everyone now knows his true face its just that NATO must stop being nice to kacaps and take real action they must start sendin tanks and sf forces as well to whip the ass of putin huylo abd his terrorists instead of just sending helmets and other stuff
As an ethnic Ukrainian myself, you make me sad.
Why join a nation 1000 of KM away to spite your relatives next door? Add in the fact, Putin isn't to blame for Ukraines failures. It is Ukraine itself. Add in the fact that Ukraine under EU won't be doing much better. Poland barely is functional, and most post soviet nations are so heavily in debt and barely capable of anything. There are few success stories, rest are failures (Bulgaria, Hungary, Bosnia, etc). It would have been better to stay neutral and develop oneself for its own people. But instead, you guys sold your country short. Now you have Americans running your national energy as an example, and another Oligarch in power (Poroshenko). Everyone blames Putin because he is an easy target, but no one truly knows what is happening behind the scenes. And to state he is at fault for what is happening is a joke, as majority of these fighters are Ukrainian, not Russian or whatever. Ukrainian nationality.
And yes, no one truly cares about Ukraine outside of maybe Poland (even though the average Polish person compares Ukraine to UK's Australia - A nation of thieves and murderers. But hey, it is your choice. But don't forget: Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the likes are facing major economic issues, and are part of the EU. Major economic issues. Having another strain that is Ukraine could be the weight that breaks the camels back.
Edit: but, my Ukrainian friend, let us put this into perspective. Russia is now obtaining Allies that are going to end up replacing EU and US in economics. They already replace them in manpower. India and China are both interested in joint development with Russia, and these two are the fastest growing nations on earth, next to Brazil. As well, if you want to ask nations who have had heavy political influence by the US, ask most latin American countries. There is a term coined because of this: Gringo Go Home. It was popular in Bolivia at one point, Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc. I personally know a man who was imprisoned by General Pinochet, a puppet from US that was planted after their elected leader was overthrown. Does this sound familiar? It sounds like Ukraine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusto_Pinochet
What made Poland more successful though, compared to most other post soviet countries, was its privatization of small and medium businesses, and lax laws regarding owning a business. This in turn, brought a wave of privatization in the nation, and a huge influx of additional revenue from taxation. They also fixed their tax laws. But, Ukraine could have done the exact same thing themselves. But failed to do so, and Russia is no blame because they don't deal with Ukraines laws. Add in the fact that Poland is still used as cheap labor and the average Polish that isn't a CEO is still leaving to other countries (London or USA) in order to make a semi living. Bosnia is not quite in EU yet, but even then, they are trying very hard and what do they have to show for it? Not much.
Take a look at the EU debt clock: http://www.eudebtclock.org/
When these countries left the Soviet Union/Warsaw pact, they had little to no debt. Now their debt is increasing. Eventually, they will have to pay it back. How and when? Don't know. There is also growing issues in Germany, whom everyone has already comes to terms with as being the main bank of the EU (being at they are the wealthiest) is now facing its economic issues of having to help prop up the failing nations in EU.
