An excellent article by prof. V.Landsbergis. It is in Lithuanian, I
think if it were in English, it would cause an extremely heated
discussion here. The article is called:
'didziuju mazumas' or 'the smallness(pettiness?) of the important
ones'.

Would you be kind enough to summarize the article? Landsbergis is as
intelligent as he is feisty. It would be interesting to see what he has to
say.

My somewhat tongue-in-cheek interpretation of if it would be as
follows:
A spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of Schroederism. All the
powers of old Europe have missed the chance to enter into a holy
alliance to exorcise this spectre.

He basically says that the last time Russia and Germany did something
behind the backs of the others was before WWII (Ribbentrop-Molotov
pact), this is occuring again (allusion to the pipeline on the bottom
of the Baltic sea). Now Russia is basically bribing high politicians in
the West to turn a blind eye on many things that happen there, cf
return of authoritarism, 'derzhavism' etc. He also underlines the
upcoming G8 summit and how Russia will continue push her own agenda re.
Hamas, Iran etc unobstructed.
