>being Greek
>we've always been relatively poor as a country, actually going under bankruptcy 7 times in our 195
>being having the worst recession since the interbellum and post WW2 years
>having no control over our economy whatsoever (controlled by the Troika and their mates)
>still 100x times than Russia, a country that once was a literal king and shit
And there are people who say Europe and America is bad.
You all guys should feel very glad you live in the 1st world and not in some bydloshit country like Russia without any prospect for the future. And not only that, but also being a smartass about it and think yourself as a king. No wonder why Russians are rightfully hated everywhere (except our gay country, people here think Putin will bring the russian Red Bear and retake Constantinople and give it to us lmao)

russia no friend france

Hmmm, despite average russian is poor, saying that living here is not having any prospect for the future is simply stupid.
First-everything is getting better here with every year even despite the crisis. Less crime, better infrusctructure etc.
Second-becoming rich here is always an option. Competition is not that big as it is in the west, so many people become rich here every year, the main problem is not many people become middle class.

don't let reality checks get in the way of senseless russophilia

Russophilia is an internet meme. It doesn't exist in reality except some exceptions like Zeman or that american farmer-protestant living in the Siberia.

memes aside (because my OP was memeing), Russia could have been transformed into a world superpower after the end of the communism and not some giant with broken legs it is today, invading powereles countries and blackmailing them
Instead people stuck in the traditional corrupted shit and the only things that changed was the people who got the power. You gotta change this shit

You think? Talk to any Greek online about Russia and see how much they love you
But in reality your country has strategically fucked us over many times in the past, even more than the Americans or Brits but people chose to forget this
Still you're orthodox and bros but only between people, not governments

Why Russia here us?
Why Russia hate us?
Why Russia hate us?
REEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWJDNDNDNDNDJRIMD D

When President Truman had visited Athens after the war, people was gathering in the streets to see him and cheerfully threw flowers to his car, cheering for his coming to Greece since he was amongst the ones who liberated us
However this was changed by the CIA and it's actions during the Junta, which even made President Clinton to issue an official apology during his presidency

the reason people hate america is because since the cold war you have been the worst allies ever, you never supported us vis a vis the turks, and even engineered a coup that fucked us up greatly.
Also bombed serbia for the great muslim genocide of like 3000 people while millions of dead armenians is ofc not one, but that's beside the point.
All in all american foreign policy (at least concerning us) is the epitome of Machiavellism realpolitik, while russians didn't do anything bad to us (at least the last 100 years).
