Furthermore, people should be concerned with their own country's criminality, not hypocritically pointing the finger at official enemies like Russia.

It's only hypocritical if you don't also point the finger at your own flaws. Which people in this forum do. A lot.

Besides, not everyone agrees anymore with the notion that they must "have a country". What's my country? I have double nationality, and I live in an union of 28 countries. Lots of us work and live moving from country to country. And I feel more at home with some people here than with the average citizen of my city.

I still hold a soft spot for the place I grew up in, but I don't consider myself tied to it. It's not mine, nor do I belong to it.

EDIT: My ignorance was showing. Thanks, Atropos.

Small nitpick: EU has 28 member states, everybody always forgets about Croatia :)
