Central Europe and the NATO Eastern Flank States Facing Contemporary Challenges

Europe dominated the world, but it failed to dominate itself. For five hundred years Europe tore itself apart in civil wars.

I'm worried about moving in the direction of Western Europe, because I believe that the higher taxes in Western Europe are one of the reasons that those economies aren't as rich as we are and why people don't work as much in Western Europe as they do in the United States.

Contemporary Europe is a search for an exit from hell... Europe has always been a bloody place.
