There was a joke at the time about Bulgaria, that whoever we join, not long after, they turn out to be the losers ... We are something like a detector for the losing country, because in our modern history, there has been no case to join a winning country .... During the world wars we were with Germany - we lost. Then we were with the USSR and communism - we lost. Now we are with the west ... if we managed to finally "hit" ... hardly. The Western world has been in its most miserable situation for centuries .... Of course, many in this country do not know it, because they rely on what the paid media offer them (as by the way they were paid under communism, as we know, nothing who knows what in that country the 89th did not change). But people in the West know it, things are not going well. From the conflicts between Democrats and Republicans in the United States, Brexit in England, yellow vests in France, Merkel who shocked even the submissive Germans ...

They did their job, but still didn't think to move. I stand next to the ATM two steps away and look at them - there is no electricity at all, that someone else wants to use it. They stand and chat ... And these are people about 45-50 years old ... The elementary culture has been lost, and to people who are supposed to have had it once. How much time do you think is left before a total social collapse? As we know from the Roman Empire, these things can go on for a long time until everything is ruined, and especially until an external (or internal) force appears to put an end to the whole fiasco. As for the west, both are available. The external force is mostly China, with Russia as a military ally. The two are currently complementary, as Russia has a weak economy and China is weak militarily. But even inside, Europe does not look good, with projections that by 2030 Muslim children will be more than Christians (or rather atheists,
