Maybe, but as a side
effect, isn't it better to sell Polish helicopters, or Slowakian firearms, or Czech explosives, for Western currencies
than for the weak Ruble ? ""
Mybe so, but regardless of what Czechs and Poles see in NATO, us leaving our lives in the shadow of the fear that
Russians would break-in through the Fulda Gap, prefer to have them on our side. I spent a my a few years of my life
travelling south of Volga, and I can tell you that I know Russians, better than they know themselves!(I am also modest!gg) I don't think the "Threat" is behind us. It has
nothing to do with ideology, it is simply the Bolshoi Igra
being played now, the same way it was in 1850's in Pamir.
Russian determiantion to assert themselves as a superpower
will clash with the interest of the Western Powers, sooner
or later, as it has in the past. We need to draw circle arround them! They can push to the East as far as Nakhoda
but not to the West! |
