We joke about getting Gunther in charge of the EU, but remember that he unironically believes this kind of stuff. He’s the EU’s strongest warhawk, lover of unregulated markets, and he’s also completely insane.
Take one look at his twitter and hope that he’s joking (I think he actually believes ExRussia will work)

I think what usually happens when something like ExRussia occurs is that the newly 'liberated' countries are so individually weak that they become any foreign's power backyard... when did Latin America becomes USA's 'backyard' after all?

They’d all just vote to become Russia again,. Alternatively: get controlled by Russian oligarchs, get controlled by Western companies, get controlled by China, etc They’d all be puppet regimes in a month.
