It would do well for Eurosceptic leaders like Milos Zeman to take their cues from their Polish and Baltic counterparts, who boldly stand up for their history amidst the onslaught of Russian revisionism. Russian revisionist history and Putin-appeasement are NOT the answers to the E.U.'s problems. If anything, much of the E.U.'s problems have to do with the continuing triumph of Soviet values in the Western world!

Even still, the Czech Republic has emerged from communism quite beautifully while being in the E.U. fold and it's why thousands of Russians move there and not the other way around.

Marta Kubisova - Modlitba pro Martu (Prayer for Martha)

Let peace remain with this country.

Malice, envy, hate, fear and contention,
Let these pass away, quickly pass away.
Now, when lost governance over your own
Affairs returns to you, people, returns.

The clouds are slowly rolling away
And everyone harvests what he has sown.
Let my prayer speak to the hearts,
Which times of malice have not burned,
Like frost burns the flowers, like frost.

Let peace remain with this country.

Malice, envy, hate, fear and contention,
Let these pass away, quickly pass away.
Now, when lost governance over your own
Affairs returns to you, people, returns.

I guess Merkel should mention all the cities in Germany that were leveled along with how evil the American and Brits who killed huge numbers of civilians without a second thought every time there's a reason to celebrate the anniversary of a city or remember the end of WWII, right?

And Abe should be in trouble for not mentioning Tokyo being fire bombed every time there's a celebration of an anniversary of Tokyo just like he should mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki every year on the anniversary of the end of WWII with special comments about how evil Americans were for killing civilians without a second though, right?

After all, what's good for the goose is good for the gander but people stupid enough to cook their own goose in precedent sauce are just too dimwitted to realize what precedent they're cooking up.
