re: #364 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Putin does, but don’t think Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Poland and the rest do. They may play some footsie just to keep the Russian bear off their backs, but reabsorption as a new Iron Curtain is not in their future. And lets not forget that about 40 years under the Russian boot hasn’t created a great deal of grudges. And economically compared to the EU, Russia has little to offer.

And when your lone aircraft carrier is a scow, and with a declinining population, there is not much they can do but annoy these days.
