"It will be interesting to see which Eastern European countries will re-align with Russia"

Been thinking about that for some time, @libertyacademy. It was funny seeing the prez of the Phillippines saying he'll buy Russian weapons if he wants, as the Neo-conartists in and of the US MIC once again threaten sanctions against countries that choose to retain a shred of autonomy - and dignity.

The worldview that seems to be prevailing is that (the gov't in) Russia has more integrity and transparency, a less detestable forced-culture, and appears to be making some kick-ass weapons.

It's perfectly understandable that the Eastern Euro nations would like to remain at a distance from the former commie rulers. Poland is literally buying right into the US sphere of influence. However, there has been a role-reversal in where the majority of Bolsheviks now find themselves, and the Christian society that is expanding in the East.
