Russia has more than 80 oblasts and republiques, China is a huge land, USA too...

Europe, in comparison, us really small. Seriously, a teacher teached us that the complete Europe is practically our country (Argentina). Then, you don't have opportunity in a separated forn. But you must cooperate positively with others (abandoning the colonialism). USA, China and Russia are the doom of world.

Evidently, we need to explore another options that it's not to submit to dictatorships but to live a good human life.

Surely you cannot compare Argentina to a bloc with almost 10 times the population and 31 times the GDP.
To further illustrate, approximately:

  • Population-wise, the EU is to Argentina as Argentina is to Panama.
  • GDP-wise, the EU is to Argentina as Argentina is to Nicaragua.
