^Maybe. I wouldn't doubt Mike's skill in all things partisan though.

I went to the game store for nerd night on Tuesday and ended up playing Bomber Command with a guy who just immigrated here from Lithuania, promptly lost his job and is likely going to have to head back.  He was definitely worried about the resurgence of the Bear and had nothing but scorn for the western nations in the EU and their dithering.  I did like how he compared the EU to Voltaire's jibe against the Holy Roman Empire as being neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.  I took a more cynical approach and suggested that the powers in Germany, France, Britain, etc possibly saw the eastern European nations as a good buffer/speed-bump but he dismissed that and said they'd been at peace for so long that they'd simply become decadent, weak, cowardly denialists.

Monday nights are angry lesbians nights (Two of them are pretty hot lipstick lesbian types.  The rest all look like they have day jobs hanging out under bridges and collecting tolls.)

I'm not from Lithuania. But I do agree with his view of the Western nations.

Yeah, I know.  It just sounded too similar to your views, so I wondered if his name was Pawel too!  ;) That being said, I don't even know if Lithuanians use the name Pawel!!

No, that would be Paulius.
