Andrew Korybko — The Galician Backhand (II)


The specter of European history. Another problem is that the US doesn't understand this dimension anymore than it understands the history of the Middle East and how history affects contemporary affairs in these regions. These people have long memories, unlike Americans whose own history is a mere blip on the screen. Americans are heavily influenced historically. Most other peoples are. Americans in generally cannot understand this and have no clue about what is really happening in these lands.

Like all good propaganda, this piece includes one or two useful insights (about Ukrainian neo-Nazis), but to complain about Polish interference and interwar nationalism, and then not to mention Stalin? It is to laugh!

Korybko seems to view in Donal Tusk a modern day Roman Dmowski! That's absurd. While current Polish leaders are no Piłsudskis, their silly defence of the Euro zone is at least an honest parody of Piłsudskian ideas about a multi-ethnic state.
