Serbia needs to play the game as best they can, but also realize that the west will never allow a sovereign Serbia. You will take in the migrants. You will eat the bugs. You will own nothing and you will be happy....
We are playing the game as best as we can and considering how much of a crater Russia has blown in our entire foreign policy and diplomatic and security situation I'd say we are doing better than anyone could have hoped for, me first and foremost
We already know what it's like to not be sovereign nation thanks primarily to putting faith in Russia
We already ate worse things than bugs (or wished we at least had bugs to eat) thanks to putting faith in Russia
We already owned nothing before so it's not a new experience, again thanks to putting faith in Russia
As for migrants we already have them and we would all gladly take migrants over our neighbors any day of the week
Russia torched it's reputation here long ago, all that's left is nostalgia which they have been cruising on ever since the 90s
Whatever little boost in status they gotten after Syria has been shredded the moment they started pussyfooting and being manhandled by bunch of apes
All that Russia gets here these days are eyerolls and scoffs
It's not Ukrainians who are building defensive positions, it's Russians
It's not Ukrainians who are running away, it's Russians
It's not Ukrainians who are blowing up bridges behind them, it's Russians
It's not Ukrainians who are losing territory, it's Russians
It's not Russians who are entering conquered cities as heroes, it's Ukrainians
We have been on the "right side of history" for over a century and we got nothing but suffering for our trouble and I seriously doubt that Russia with it's current approach will be able to deliver anything other than usual this time so ditching the losers and doing the smart thing this time is seen as very desirable approach
Local fanboys, cultists and tankies are online and on the talk shows doing their very best trying to sell the old approach yet again but nobody is stupid enough to buy it anymore
Winners will deliver the goods, losers willd drop you cold, we learned that the hard way and nobody is in the mood for refresher course, we had more than enough of those
