Re: When the US called them the new Europeans and the westerners old Europeans, western side Europeans were shocked.

Actually, they were cunningly fast-talked as well... Clue:

Re: As the Eatsern Europeans embrace globalization, the West siders will slowly go down...

So far, Eastern Europeans have "embraced" nothing but NATO and the US foreign policy... Let me remind you that jumbo A380s are engineered in Western Europe and assembled in Toulouse, France... Danone, a foodstuff powerhouse, is a French multinational. Ditto with Carrefour, a French retailer with scores of stores throughout the world, including China. Nissan was successfully gobbled up and integrated by Renault --I guess that CEO Carlos Ghosn is by now ranked the best CEO in the auto industry worldwide....

The French people just voted "NO" on the EU draft constitution, allegedly out of economic and social considerations. Well, I think the French were shrewdly manipulated by President Jacques Chirac who knew from the start that "NO" was gonna win.(*) Chirac and the French elites can now capitalize on the French referendum to force the EU bureaucracy towards a FOREIGN policy closer to French interests....
