News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [203]
I disagree with that too and that wasn't what I've said.
But for me and many others Russia is the biggest country with the most natural wealth, which makes at an automatical top dog.
Surely that doesn't makes it an automatical leader, especially if you know their history.
Buuut....there are also countries in the neighbourhood who have nothing against Russian leadership, having still strong ties.
My point was that there is no real counterpoint to see inside the slavic world to Russia. It's mostly either pro-russian countries or anti-russian countries but it's more or less all about Russia in the end.
It is the big looming shadow nobody can escape.
So..to use Kissingers famous words..."When I want to call the slavic world, which number should I select?"
it is just that BB thinks that Russia is the only leader in the region and the rest of the Slavs need it so much as a leader to properly represent themselves in front of good, old Europe. I disagree with that.
