the Central-Eastern European nations have strongly anti-Russian and consequently Atlanticist currents. Poland and the Baltics are the prime examples because they share a border with Russia.
My understanding is that this isn't representative of the reality on the ground. The self proclaimed 'elites' of the political circles are anti-Russian (I wonder what the financial arrangements are) while Eastern European society at large is hardly anti Russian.
Statistics on this are welcome.
Or perhaps over time the EU will be able to take the place of NATO in the minds of the Poles and Baltics, along with the military structures that implies, though without the Russian shift taking place, that wouldn't really change anything from an EU-RUssia perspective, except perhaps for the worse.
Are you saying the Poles and Baltics whose minds we're talking about are the "self-proclaimed 'elites'"? Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
The key to mind control is information control.
The Socialists are opposed as is the center MODEM led by François BAYROU. Are these 'serious' political parties? BAYROU is calling on the government to organise a referendum on the issue. I would certainly support that. But if it's not on the agenda, it's because the French would vote NO. Vive la démocracie.
Many of these Russian 'immigrants' are highly educated - something that Finnish companies and institutions have been slow to react to. You can't be me, I'm taken
