#3 The eastern Europeans are remembering when Russia's foot was on their back and old Europe just shrugged, but those "arrogant cowboys" of the US just kept at it, always encouraging, always watching, always trying to help them move towards democracy and freedom, always pressuring their oppressors. I even saw a picture a Pole (?) had painted showing Richard Nixon, in a Moses role, leading the artists nation to freedom. Such feelings are long remembered.

#4 The French had a good relationship with the USSR in some respects. The backlash is and will be with France" for sometime. I am also a proud Francophobe. I tell my wife (a teacher of French language) she is preparing her student for intelligence gathering against our open enemy. She agrees.

They quit NATO very early in the Cold War, re-joining only once the Soviets had fallen.
