Oh, sure, let's look for more ways to piss off the Russians.
ReplyDeleteWhen dealing with countries that have nuclear weapons, my own personal philosophy would be: Be as friendly and neighborly as possible.
As the old saying goes, you can tell how aggressive the Russians are by how their borders keep moving closer to US military bases.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, I've been to 27 countries in Europe and Poland was (surprisingly) one of my favorites. Very nice people, very humble, friendly & genuine. although few seem to speak English compared to other countries in Europe .
ReplyDeleteA lot of great religious history as well as secular. And being a cheapskate, of course I noticed that stuff in Poland is much cheaper than many other places. 😎
