Russia is a serious country; Poland isn’t.

~Russia is a serious country; Poland isn't.~ A classic picture, used by smaller E. European countries to mock Polish ambitions and Polish meddling in their affairs. Many sane Poles loves to stick it at their chickenhawks as well.

Russia is a nation of drunks still ruled by a small clique of thugs. Read the the article at the link and try to learn, try, too, to move beyond philistinism, boorishness, parochialism, and Putinism.

“This made the revolution in Ukraine not only a disaster for Russian foreign policy, but a challenge to Putin’s regime at home. The weakness of Putin’s policy is that it cannot account for the actions of free human beings who choose to organize themselves in response to unpredictable historical events. Russian propaganda presented the Ukrainian revolution as a Nazi coup and blamed Europeans for supporting these supposed Nazis. This version, although ridiculous, was much more comfortable in Putin’s mental world, since it removed from view the debacle of his own foreign policy in Ukraine and replaced spontaneous action by Ukrainians with foreign conspiracies.”
