"...starting with the farthest from Moscow, Germany."

No, it started with the 'Solidarnost' movement (Solidarity — Lech Walesa) in Poland.

Great work, again - thanks Tomas. A lot of the logic of nations and strength seems to revolve around owning land - either for agriculture (in previous articles) or as a buffer in case of Russia. Empires needed land to produce food which was the primary source of energy. However in today's industrial & information technology world is this view still right? Why would a country want to "conquer" another territory with infantry taking over land? Is there a new logic for warfare?
