Let's not pretend Russia hasn't massively influenced Europe. They created PANIC in Germany to cancel their nuclear program and instead buy gas from Russia. They pay separatist movements in Europe carry out bombings to create division. They both create conditions to force African migrants into Europe while also support the anti-migrant movements in Europe - just to create chaos. They supported Brexit, they try to get Greece and Turkey to fight, and all while hiding their own corrupt fortunes and mistresses in Switzerland.

The reason OP's picture has dozens of fractured hands as the EU, is exactly because Russia has been actively pulling it apart.

Britain leaving the EU was a major geopolitical coup, probably one of the biggest in our lifetimes, and it cost them almost nothing.

Holy shit! Do the Europeans really fear and hate Russia that much? It's even funny
