Unbelievable but, its truth. Poland is finally happy to share border with Russia [57]
Crow, I'd wait until Russia finally clears up the Smolensk incident before commenting. 2/3 of Poles are suspicious of the official story. Also, be mindful of how quickly the Russian government changes their tune. Under Medvedev's watch, they threatened to strike the proposed missile shield which is direct hostility given that Poland offered Russian inspectors to come and check it out. Then we see the same man come across and attend LK's funeral, risking a hazard through ash. I know you love the whole Slavic aspect but they are affected by Asian ideas, being a Eurasian country. Kao in Japanese means face and my friend told me that the Chinese also value it too through adherents of Confucianism. They will maintain their public face but do devious and underhand things behind the scenes. Russia has provoked Scotland with flying their MIG planes over our territory. We have no idea what they were trying to achieve by doing so. We have a strong airforce so they had better think twice about repeating that stunt.
Beware of false hope, Crow, that's my point. On an intergovernmental level, the relationship is healthier. However, I see you as being more of a people person, valuing the word on the street, right? Poles and Russians need copious amounts of vodka to drop their guard and find common ground. Poles are very much their own people.
