The more power Russia wields, the less stable and friendly towards us the former Warsaw Pact countries will become.
The less Western-facing and engaged these nations become, the more beholden Europe will become to the whims of Russia and to the internal pressure of the Muslim Diaspora.
This is chess, not beer pong.
Ideally, Putin would be an ally in fighting the Muslim Diaspora but it doesn’t seem to work out that way does it?
