RE: Russian Collaborators Series #1 - Hyundai
You are right on so many fronts. Victims of sanctions and Russia's counter sanctions are certainly EU member states. Greece tops the list, but also Poland's meat and cheese industry. Greece got more debt restructuring as a reward for signing on to sanctions (and the threat of no debt restructuring if they didn't). The Polish leadership is delusional and will eventually collapse their sovereignty and become just another beggar to Germany like so many other EU countries.
Wow! I didn't know that about Poland. I was there in 2008 and they seemed to be on the right track.
The more reliance people put on the government, the more power over there own lives they give up. The problem with so many places, Poland included, is that they think government is the solution to problems. In some respects, this is very true. However, when you start sending all that power far from your hometown, the people getting the power and money don't really give a shit about your small town. To make matters worse, Poland goes deeper in debt and pisses in everybody's Cheerios (Germany's, Russia's, Ukraine's, etc.).
