is an article on the growing division between eastern and western Europe. The
article draws attention to a couple of differences between them: western Europe
historical has net immigration and eastern countries have had net emigration,
and the west is liberal while the east grows increasingly fascist. The article
contrasts the need the east had to gain independence from Moscow with the
inclination the article says it now has to cozy up to Moscow. I have not
noticed that last bit, but then I don’t live there.
I do think that the article ignores the culture of
dictatorship that is in eastern Europe. One reason for what the article calls
illiberal government there is that the people running things grew up
indoctrinated in dictatorships.
One thing is clear: the EU is not likely to last.
