Hey people, i found very interesting article on the Net which i warmly suggest for reading. Megatrends presented in the aricle could greately affect Polish-Russian relations. Same article can be interesting also from the angle of Polish-German, Polish-USA relations, etc.

Jest few fragments with my short comments:
This fragment represent one of meny self-critical attitude on the so called West, in connection with events in former Yugoslavia...
From the beginning of the break up of Yugoslavia the policies followed by the United States and NATO countries have been marked by duplicity, double standards and cowardice. They have forgotten the role played by Serbia in two world wars and they have deliberately demonized Serbia and the Serbian people. They have falsely blamed Serbia for the breakup of Yugoslavia and for all of the atrocities committed in the wars that followed. They have set up that "travesty of justice"-The Hague Tribunal-to perpetuate these myths.
This is about illegal actions of USA and NATO when Serbia was bombed...
The bombing of Serbia established an ominous precedent. It meant the United States and the NATO countries could intervene wherever and whenever they wished. The use of force or the threat of it would be used whether within the law or not and having set the precedent with the bombing of Serbia the decision to invade Iraq was easy.
The American insistence on giving the Albanians independence and unilaterally handing over 15% of Serbian territory to the criminal leaders of Kosovois simply a further example of the willingness of the United States to use naked power to achieve its policy objectives.
This is especial part where author of article becoming aware that world greatly changed (and will be changed).
I clearly see bright future of Polish-Russian relations, no matter problems in current relations which have to be solved. I wish all the best to my Polish and Russian, Slavic brothers.
When dust fall down and things become clear, people of Slavic world, Europe and entire world just would see how great are consequences of new German `Drang nach Osten`, how great shame is that USA, Britain, France, etc supported this and, that Yugoslavia/Serbia and Serbs were just first target.
