Poveste cu Aliaţi. Mai exact cu doi Aliaţi

Povestea e cu polonezi si americani. Si cu noi, pe alocuri. Si am gasit-o pe Christian Science Monitor http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0118/p09s01-coop.html (in mare voga pe vremea lui Reagan, ce vremuri !). Analiza o face fiecare pentru sine, ca Mordechai are treaba si eu am plecat la biblioteca. Nu cu Visa Waiver, evident. Ca urmare, pe puncte sa vedem esentialul:

“Like Poland, Romania sent troops to Iraq and has been disappointed by its exclusion from the US Visa Waiver Program. But unlike Poland, Romania has welcomed the construction of American military bases. (iaca pozna!!!) Three features of US strategy toward Romania allowed it to succeed and could provide a blueprint for revitalizing relations with American allies worldwide.

• • First, in contrast to its dealings with Warsaw, Washington has worked to maintain a relationship with Bucharest on reciprocal footing (un soi de 69, care va s-zica, eee?!). When Bucharest backed the US bid for exclusion from the International Criminal Court, Washington backed Romania’s bid to join NATO. JJJ
  • When Bucharest granted America access to its airspace early in the Iraq war, Washington granted Romania its coveted designation as a „functional market economy.” (hehehe, roadele functionale ale guvernarii Nastase J) And when Bucharest cosponsored a US push for Iraqi sovereignty at the United Nations, Washington agreed to locate lucrative US bases on Romania’s Black Sea coast (`aide bre si cu scutu`, ca sa avem ce baga la “locuri de munca” in ofertele electorale)
  • In each instance, Romanian assistance was matched – usually within one or two months – by US backing for a specific Romanian interest (bilantul guvernarii bre….unde-i Radu Tudor cu o analiza pertinenta J). By contrast, for years the Poles have watched their leaders fly to Washington seeking help – on oil contracts, military aid, visas – only to come away empty-handed. Hence the desire for upfront perks in the talks this week on missile defense.

Washington has been careful to maintain the appearance of an equal relationship with Romania. In negotiations over US bases, the Bush administration stressed that ultimate sovereignty for the installations would rest with Bucharest. As David McKiernan, America’s top Army general in Europe, often told the press, „We are guests, tenants.” Such humility was necessary, Washington knew, for Bucharest to convince its citizens they were partners rather than pawns of US policy. HAHAHA, de mult n-am mai ras la un articol din ziare. Ce zici Mordechai, nu cumva te-ai apucat a scrie sip e la CSM?!

Mordechai spune: N-am fost eu. Parol! Ori vrei sa ma bagi in gura lu’ Rabbi cu Christian monitoarele astea?
