NATO may be spreading eastward, but so is FREEDOM. Poland and the Baltics are interested in growth, progress and freedom.
NATO=FREEDOM? It made me the greatest belly laughs indeed. Its just now they are really enjoying freedom after the end of Russian dominance and before entering NATO and all European structures. It will be long way of adjusting to new requirements with some vague and doubtful gains at the end.
Have you heard anything about Uzbekistan? Its a former Soviet republic enjoying this freedom after Americans came into the country in 2001. The local are pretty fed up with that freedom. Its freedom to be a prostitute, to be unemployed, to give bribes to corrupted officials. Some of my friends living there say they dont exclude the worst scenario of the civil war in their country. They are ready to flee this paradise for some safer place (freedom to flee if youve got enough of money).
