> Which country got rich with the EU?

Poland and the other new members in the East, probably?

Greece for sure. It is easy to forget how poor they were just 30 years ago.

Great Britain are feeling the pain of leaving so they are living the alternate reality.

Although I suspect they would have got richer anyway just being able to trade with the EU and not being controlled by Russia,

Well, being in the EU makes it a lot easier to trade with the EU.

However I broadly agree otherwise.

Being able to freely and easily trade with the EU, and not wanting to be controlled by Russia, are probably the most important two reasons to join the EU!

"the most important two reasons to join the EU"

You misspelled NATO

NATO ain't a free trade pact.
