Bullies don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot, do they? For years, now, Poland - in conjunction with Nato - has been threatening Russia. Now listen to them whine. "The armed forces are said to have carried out "war games" in which nuclear missiles were fired and troops practised an amphibious landing on the country's coast. Documents obtained by Wprost, one of Poland's leading news magazines, said the exercise was carried out in conjunction with soldiers from Belarus. The manoeuvres are thought to have been held in September and involved about 13,000 Russian and Belarusian troops. Poland, which has strained relations with both countries, was cast as the "potential aggressor". The documents state the exercises, code-named "West", were officially classified as "defensive" but many of the operations appeared to have an offensive nature. ... His colleague, Marek Opiola MP, said: "It's an attempt to put us in our place. Don't forget all this happened on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland." Ordinary Poles were outraged by news of the exercise and demanded a firm response fro the government."

East Europe could have had independence. Instead they traded dominance by the USSR for dominance by Nato. Sucks now, doesn't it?
