Moscow insists rows with Poland, Estonia not EU issue

Poland is ruled by a proto-fascist duo of twin-brothers, who want to replace the comunist party by their own vision of state control repression. I wonder why the EU, who was so quick to adopt sanctions against Austria when Haider's party was included in the government, don't say nothing about the attitudes of this little group of polish idiots who, as always, claim their are the victims of everybody else. Typical from most polish, they found themselves as victims of everybody. I know, I have a few polish colleagues, and they always call themselves victims. Pour little ones.

I don't understand why Russia is unable to lift the ban on meat imports from Poland. Repeated commissions have found that the Polish meat industry has passed both EU and Russian meat protocols. The irony is of course that the EU, a group that is commited to the defence of the consumer, allows Polish imports while Russia does not. Now that Russia has no excuse left for making the block it is clear that the continued embargo is a political weapon. Poland is fully justified in wielding its veto as a political weapon in kind under the circumstances.

Even more disturbing is Western Europe's attitude toward the problem. Rather than supporting its new members, the the Western EU is trying to make Poland and Estonia back down. These coutnries are as much a part of the EU as is France or Germany, and should not be sidelined. The entire problem is reminicent of Yalta, where the West curtailed the interests of its Central European allies in order to appease Russia.

Russia wins again and EU looses. The Russians have energy that EU needs and EU has nothing that Russia needs. In this strange situation, it is not in Russia's interest to deal with EU as a collective organisation, better to deal with Individual members and create divisions such that EU can't create a collective policy. Poland and the eastern Europeans stance harms EU's collective bargaining position, as more and more individual states bargain directly with Russia and make deals, which leave EU's energy policy in tatters. The real power play is now US and Russia, US using the more then willing eastern europeans as their pawns. Some times rapid expansions without carefull planning results in failures, EU seems to be on this track, which will suit both Russia and US.
