Eastern Europe is better off under the Russian Sphere of Influence

Now I want to finally show my argument about how exactly that the European Union is destroying the cultures of Eastern Europe. You see although there wasn't a direct demand for learning a language, like how the Russian language dominated those lands for centuries. But there is definitely a domination of languages based on the countries with the largest economies, also known as UK and Germany. Based on the statistics of Nation Master (. http://www.nationmaster.com...), 34% of all of Poland as of 2000 can have a conversation completely in English and the Second largest language,German, was not far much behind at 20%. For the United Kingdom though only a whopping 0.0% of all the United Kingdom natives can speak Polish as a conversational second language (. http://www.nationmaster.com...). The only nation that can actually speak Polish over 10% is Lithuania and Poland economically dominates that area and thus they are within their sphere of influence. Another thing that should be noted is that there is actually a correlation on which the higher the GDP per capita the lower the percentage of people who would be able to speak English and German conversationally (. http://www.nationmaster.com...). While the Czech Republic GDP per Capita is at a large 19,844 US Dollars, Poland has a much lower GDP per capita of 13,647 US Dollars. When it comes to English only 27% of the Czech Republic knows how to speak it but which is lower then Poland where 34% speak English. The point of this argument is capitalism is not only the same when it comes to language dominance compared to Russia but can even be worse when looking at the complex pecking order that the West has created for itself. Larger nations bully and control the smaller nations. It's not only that but the largest nations in the EU have a much more impactful influence on smaller nations. For example Slovenia, a nation very far away from the United Kingdom, has an English Conversational prevalence rate of 59% (. http://www.nationmaster.com...), clearly there is a heavy pecking order here. The situation that is present right now is that there is a blending of languages that is going on throughout all of Europe, the younger generations are abandoning their native tongues to speak English and German out of necessity. Now before people believe that native languages can not die out let's look at these languages (. http://kwintessential.ch...). Although you can say these areas are not sovereign nations, the European Union is on it's way to become one large federation. With only English, French and German as the three main large ones, the smaller of the European Union nations will eventually just blend into the rest of these groups. As for this round my point proving that the European Union is not letting them keep their heritages, if anything, it is blending them out of existence and turning the natives of these areas into cheap workers who have to work in factories own by British and German Businessmen. Not only that but the Chinese have also been putting their foot into the doors of these areas. 5.4% of all Import partners of Poland are Chinese and with the rapidly growing economy of China that is considered to get much larger (. http://www.indexmundi.com...). The other point of this argument is to show that clearly these nations are being exploited and used as pawns in a Global Economic Strategy game that China is playing with the world already. Same goes with Hungary where China has a 7.4% hold on the Imports of Hungarians (. http://www.indexmundi.com...). And finally Czech Republic who has a 6.3% import rate with China (. http://www.indexmundi.com...). So you see these nations have lost their economic power to extremely huge economic powers. So now to conclude my argument, I believe the idea that they are much better off with the European Union is only a politically correct statement that people in the West will utter over and over again because that is what they're told. Never forget only the ones who have won the war actually get to write the history books, the other side of the argument is never heard from again.
