RC:

I am sorry but I feel much closer to the West and the US than to Russia, so you can imagine that I'm not too fond of a EU/Russian "collaboration". Sorry. As long as Russia doesn't start to be more like the West, I do not feel close to them. Mentality is completely different from mine as well, no thanks.

We are all pro-west but sometimes, like in private life it helps to be critical of our friends.

Furthermore IMO Russia shouldn't be isolated from the EU. This wouldn't be good in the long term due to the proximity and other historical reasons. If I remember well you mentioned many times (and very rightly) that Russians want to feel respected and not ignored. It pays the EU to stay in good terms, whereas for the US it is low priority and they couldn't care less.
