Line 1:

The Warsaw Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, in the west better known as the [[Warsaw Pact]] (it used to be known as the Warsaw Treaty Organisation too, but that name has now disappeared due to a more famous organisation taking the acronym), was a military defense alliance of the USSR and its European satellite states. It was pretty much formed as a direct response to [[NATO]].
Accordingly, it's a good place for us to discuss Central and Eastern Europe as [[Commie Land]].
Line 35:
Allow me to add that one of my life's greatest moments was at the viking market in Wolin 1998 where I met a former Polish para who had trained to invade the part of Denmark I was training to defend, he even knew some local village names. We quickly agreed that we were content that it never happened and shared a few beers, then a few more. The rest of the evening was hazy as we discovered that "The Other" was a young chap just like ourselves.
As [[Commie Land]], all the states turn up at some point.
