Return to Central Europe.

This blog will resume again in the New Year 2012. At this moment I'm writing a book that I hope will be accepted by a publisher next year. The working title is Pipeline War: The Truth and Reality Behind the Conflict in Afghanistan.

  1. I will be interested in what your take on central and eastern europe is now - no longer can it be the tired trope of Poland as some imperial US lapdog... it will be interesting to see how you interpret Sikorski's speeches in Berlin recently - to me, the position of Poland in the current EU difficulties is fascinating, and the fact that it is advocating more integration rather than isolation (while cynics would say that it's because of the subsidies) is in stark contrast to the UK - and as a Hungarian minister said in a Warsaw Business Journal article I read recently, western European countries have done very well from the expansion of the EU - and he's right.

    I think Russia's doing well from it too - in its own way .

  3. I'm in Hungary again. But I have no Internet connection where I live so the blog will have to wait a bit.

    @Vodiak. I never tried to portray Poland as a mere US lapdog. Only that Polish elites had subordinated their interests too firmly with the USA.I always said many dissidents were mesmerised by US power through an uncritical belief it could impose liberal democracy everywhere. With an element of Polish messianism, this is surely why Michnik uncritically supported the catastrophic invasion of Iraq and the "war on terror".
