Vassalage pays well if all the costs are not counted.<\/p>\n<p>By joining NATO, the eastern and central Europeans permitted Washington to move US military presence to Russia\u2019s borders. This military presence on Russia\u2019s borders gave Washington undue confidence that Russia also could be coerced into a vassal state existence. Despite the dire fate of the two finest armies ever assembled\u2014Napoleon\u2019s Grand Army and that of Germany\u2019s Wehrmacht\u2014Washington hasn\u2019t learned that the two rules of warfare are: (1) Don\u2019t march on Russia. (2) Don\u2019t march on Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Because of Europe\u2019s subservience to Washington, Washington is unlikely to learn this lesson before Washington marches on Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Washington in its hubristic idiocy has already begun this march piecemeal with the coup in Ukraine and with its attacks on Syrian military positions.
