Cage the growling bear

Russia has banned imports of food from Poland because they are "insanitary". It says Estonia has committed "blasphemy" because it moved a Soviet-era war memorial and the resulting repairs has led to Russia closing down an oil pipeline to Lithuania for 10 months. Germany wants to improve EU relations with Russia but Poland and Lithuania are not playing ball and do not want to negotiate at this Friday's summit in Samara in Russia. Poland has already vetoed talks with Russia once and now Lithuania wants the meeting to be cancelled. They are hoping that Sarkozy will support them when he takes over this week. On va voir.

Not that this post is an example, but I'm sure we're never likely to share a common political viewpoint. But that doesn't prevent me from enjoying the way you put forward yours ... and, I'm afraid, to tag you with a meme - here.

Let's not assume Sarko is going to solve the world's problems. I fear Eastern Europe and the Balkans are not his priority.

Putin's Russia is flexing it's muscles again. Why? Because it has the money so to do. The cold war was won not by ideology but by economics.

Crikes..I wish I paid more attention to your posts - you are like an early warning system for trouble brewing..

It seems it is all-out cyber-war in that neck of the woods.

Your blog leads the MSM, others just follow it..
