Hot (well, warm) off the press, by Edward Lucas (who just got a new job): “Border controls: Thanks to Poland, [NATO] will defend the Baltics.”

Great news indeed, but I’m curious about what the reaction will be to the east of us if this pans out.

Vysu lobu,

Today, the defmin of Latvia was a bit reserved about the plans. It seems Edward is being too optimistic ;)

Clarification—Lucas taking a new job (with CEPA) does not mean he’s leaving The Economist; he’s not.
