The problem is, if not the EU, what other choice do the small European countries have? It is almost impossible to exist as a small, independent country and not have some kind of economic union.
Russia is really the only other option, and that option is not a good one for anyone... especially for NATO allies. You can't have a defense union with one bloc and an economic union with another. There would be too many conflicts of interest.
So really, Greece has 3 options, and the only one that would allow them to maintain complete autonomy would also likely make them 3rd world country.
