Wall St. Journal – “Central Europe Woke Up, Others Went Woke”

The Wall Street Journal published an excellent Letter to the Editor today from Lucja Swiatkowski Cannon, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C. Entitled Central Europe Woke Up, Others Went Woke, Ms. Cannon contrasts the success of policy, economic and strategic decisions made by Central European countries such as Poland, with the failed decisions of Western European countries such as Germany and France.

She concludes:

“In short, Poland and other Central European countries are in a position to assist the U.S. to meet its strategic challenges in Europe and, to some extent, globally. The goal of the coming Trump administration thus isn’t to ‘resuscitate Europe,’ whose elites refuse to change their approach, but to ally itself with Central Europe, which shares its outlook and strategic assessment and has some of the most pro-American electorates in the world.”
