Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [157]
It really is the height of arrogance and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. What is there not to understand? Russia has had ambitions on Polish land for a few centuries now but just look at modern reality.
No, it's not.
Today, when every German Pedigree pal distributor who has spent a few days in Moscow drinking vodka with hotel call girls, pretends to be expert on Russia, we have to call a spade a spade.
Even a well founded historical knowledge and some personal experience (like in your case) are not enough to say
"Yep. I do understand Russo-Polish-Ukrainian relations".
Look at us - I mostly disagree with Sasha's postings, same goes for Nathan in many cases but there is a strong platform of understanding between us.
Not always friendly understanding, believe me.
And with all respect to you Seanus ... you are outsider in this discussion.
I tell you more - amazing but even my Polish family members from Upper Silesia wouldn't understand it !
They are outsiders as well !
Sounds like mystique to me and arrogant for you but even Polish born Richard Pipes is always a few steps behind me with his political analysis and I don't pretend to be a professional historian - it's all in our veins Seanus LOL.
Okay, I'm not quite serious about Pipes and me - but he is from "Austrian" Cieszyn and I'm Warsaw born.
Sometimes it makes a difference !
BTW. Great postings Nathan !
