    As with all EU policy, the purpose is to make the USA look bad. This is the only reason Russia is not even in the EFTA or the EU.

    I have insider information that powers are play are trying to engineer a way to kick out Latvia to make the statistics more embarrassing to you.

    PS: UK 1.48, Switserland Not a country, Russia 6.8, Belarus 2.32, Ukraine 3.84 pre-war, Moldavia 2.27 USA 6.38

    I don’t think adding Russia will make the difference you think it will, since it’s barely more violent than the US.

        I used wikipedia’s data that is sourced from UNODC and is apparently for 2021. For states the size of the UK it doesn’t really matter, fluctuations are small. Any given year the US will have ~6 times the homicide rate of the UK.
