While I applaud your honest attempt at a discussion, I should tell you that your words fall on deaf ears. This is a very common view in Serbia that the "west" is, and always has been, against us and that the evil west literally doesn't do anything besides thinking up new ways to subjugate eastern europeans. If you say that nobody cares, they'll point to events from 100+ years ago, if you say that some states are voluntarily cooperating with the rest of the world and happy with it, they'll say that they're slaves. If you say that absolutely everyone around Russia wants to stay the hell away from if, they'll say how at least under Russian influence we won't "biologically dissapear".

You can't reason with unreasonable views. I don't know how to deal with these people, but spare yourself the frustration and at least don't hope that you'll change their oppinions with reasonable arguments.
