the 50 countries of Europe ranked .....low numbers best for quality of life , high numbers bad
despite all that oil and gas russia comes in at 40 .....almost all the other countries higher than that are all the countries influenced by russia in the past - ex republics and ex iro curtain countries and not NATO members or EU members with the exception of Albania (NATO)
russia has not been a force for improvement of it's people ....despite their huge resource wealth ......the west of Europe , mostly lacking that advantage , are much MUCH better places for the average person to live .
And russia wants to export this miusmanagement to Ukraine .
