One interesting outcome of this is the rise of Poland...they will respond to Russia’s actions, and perhaps pull the other Visegrad Group countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and the Baltics) into a new bloc. They have not yet had the falling away of their Western European counterparts.
No, they haven’t, and we did see the encouraging rally a few months ago where patriots burned down a sodomy monument. Time will tell for Poland. I think they could lead a new eastern bloc to counteract Russian diplomatic force and provide a counterbalance. The countries further west can continue to fade into irrelevance, a feral backwater called ‘New Canaan’
