What's wrong with favouring Russia over the EU? It's also important to note and correct you that the US *is* NATO.
The EU is openly hostile to the US and is actively undermining core American values. Meanwhile, Russia shares Imperial Christian values. The EU is also incredibly weak, they have no army, while Russia has the most powerful land army in the world with cutting edge undefeated land military doctrine & strategical logistics, along with having the largest functional arsenal of nuclear weapons. Russia also controls far more territory than the EU does, and acts as a strategical piece for leverage against China.
It's clear to me that what the world is moving towards is a World Triumvirate of China, Russia, and America. These 3 global powers dwarf all others - EU is weak and irrelevant.
Honestly you need to be shipped off in a boat to mordor to fight in the front lines for you orc overlords to own the libs and darkies
