My initial thoughts were that the proposed map was very generous to both Poland and Romania. Took some time out to think about it. It's quite puzzling.
Over the long term there seems to be a distinct possibility of the disintigration of NATO as one of the consequences of the Ukraine debacle despite the organisation providing the auxiliary armies for the imposition of Washington's Imperial Project.
It may be that the map represents a diplomatic carrot to both Poland and Romania to embrace pragmatically new post-NATO economic and geopolitical realities and that their future progress, much like the Sun, actually rises in the East.
The 'map', much like the 'two state' solution to end the illegal occupation of Palestine, is merely an initial proposal. As well as being a supremely impudent finger in the eye of the Washinton establishment and their EU and British compradors or imperial lackeys.
Agreed. Russia's national development isn't being lost on those two nations who once had robust trade with Russia and now have none while Russia booms. For both, EU/NATO are suffocating institutions that don't promote growth but kill it. If your nation has only a small industrial base, the EU won't help it grow bigger as its Neoliberal parasites aim to plunder it. In other words, the EU as an economic engine is a BigLie that ever more nations, particularly the smaller ones. are discovering. The Turks are indeed fortunate for the EU's racism that kept them from becoming part of that con.
Exactly. The USD is being repudiated which will lead to the financial reckoning. London Paul has an interesting take that debunks the USD millkshake theory. It's now a real choice between development and being pillaged. The future for lazy comprador elites won't be good, not as others see what they're missing.
