As the CEE countries gained freedom, the emigres, and governments in exile delivered fascist governments with this sugar coating of democracy inside their own Nationalist framework. The flow of money to elect potential office holders in the US now comes from both the emigres and their CEE countries.
Ukraine today is a perfect example of this. The nationalism they adhere to today is the same as it was before and during WWII. And you need to consider the fact that Ukraine was not even a country, it was the borderland. The term "Ukrainian" was just the name of a nazi political movement that almost became a state in 1918. This same democratic nationalism was delivered by the Diaspora as the form of government when the Soviet Union collapsed. It did not exist in the country called Ukraine prior to 1991 except in small pockets. Albania is another example.
Almost all CEE countries are "Spring of Nations" countries and Wilson Doctrine countries. Almost all are voting in the CEEC bloc for war with Russia. In Bosnia , this type of violent nationalism is again on the rise with this election cycle. - Madison, Wilson, and East Central European Federalism -A Dissertation submitted to The Division of Research and Advanced Studies Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment for the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) in the Department of Political Science in the College of Arts and Sciences 2006 by Jonathan H.

Do the Diaspora groups whose primary allegiance to the old country puts the US secondary have large roles in foreign policy? Obviously, there have been a number of good write-ups on this. The question across all of them is should the Diasporas ignore the "greater good" for the US population and ply what they see as good only for the old country they actually call home?
" Within this contemporary context, Smith raises two questions about the role of diasporas in US foreign policy that are fundamental to the place of minority interest groups in a democratic polity: First, when can US government policy be characterized as either subservient to diasporic influence or consonant with the national interest? And second, what are the rights and obligations of diasporas toward the "reasonable construction of the common good"? While Smith points out the threats that diasporic conflicts of interest pose to national security and the extent to which legitimate security concerns have been dismissed by political commentators and in public policy debates, he does not pretend to be able to provide an authoritative or final resolution to the issues, which he believes are likely to remain with us so long as the United States has so dominant a role in world affairs. Rather, he concludes, the resolution of this difficult moral political quandary must come from citizen engagement in foreign policy debates over the relations between specific diaspora goals and national interests."- Diaspora-Government Relations in Forging US Foreign Policies -Josh DeWind and Renata Segura
The run-up to the Iraq war can be put into this context. All it took was for the Iraqi Diaspora (Iraqi National Congress) to develop ties with like-minded people from "The Project for the New American Century" that wanted regime change in Iraq. Many of the people associated with the PNAC crossed over into the Bush administration. The pushed the invasion.
Noted above, they had the full support of the Jewish Diaspora. At the government level, Saddam Hussein would have known about this. With his hands as full as they were it does address why he threatened to attack Israel. Because the Jewish-American emigres were out of reach and pushed the war on him, it seems he viewed Israel as the proxy he could attack.
Did the war enhance our national security? Was it for US national interests or Diaspora and special interests that over 1,000,000 people died in and as a result of that war?
" Walt Vanderbush's essay, "The Iraqi Diaspora and the US Invasion of Iraq" (chapter 9), traces the collaboration between leaders of the Iraqi diaspora and neoconservative Americans, many of them linked to the Iraqi National Congress (INC) and the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), to convince the US government to wage war and bring about "regime change" in Iraq...In marketing the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the diaspora lobby and like-minded government officials were able to frame debates as a choice between invasion or appeasement, thus sidelining alternative perspectives and silencing voices of opposition. The INC claimed credit for placing 108 articles in the news media, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Times (of London), during a nine-month period before the war. " - IBID
Why did we go to war again over a private Diaspora dispute over who should rule Iraq to the tune of 4500 US soldiers lives? That was what listening to Chalabi and his anti-American neocons cost US families .
As recently as today's news, a like-minded American working with CEE nationalist interests decided to provoke a war between the US and Russia. I am referring to General Philip Breedlove, NATO Supreme Allied Commander for Europe.
Breedlove lied to the US Commander in Chief- POTUS- Barack Obama about Russian aggression and troop build-ups against Europe and the Ukraine. How is it this man is able to retire? Why does he have a pension?- Hacked Emails Confirm NATO Push To Provoke, Escalate Conflict With Russia- Tyler Durden
Had president Obama taken Breedlove seriously, we would now be engaged in a war with Russia. And you wouldn't be liking it on Facebook.
Can teeny tiny Diaspora groups bloc voting alter the face of American government? Meet the Bosniaks, emigres from Bosnia and Herzegovina . The Bosniaks have the same history as the rest of the CEE countries. They are the product of the Habsburg "Spring of Nations" and the Promethean group experiment. Both were geared to develop and promote ultra-nationalist nations.
" BiH (Bosnia Herzegovina) Diaspora Has Already Effected US Election Results . The BiH Diaspora community is not large , but it is concentrated in a few critical election jurisdictions. While impossible to prove, it appears more likely that the BiH Diaspora new voters around St. Louis were the decisive votes in the election for the US Senate seat from Missouri , which in turn effected the whole shifting of the US Senate and Congress in favor of the Democrats . If this is not true, then see the below... the Diaspora did not form a substantially large voting block . Croat, Serb and Albanian Americans were a considerably larger and more visible block... " Bosniaks have allowed others to define them, mostly those who either do not wish us well or do not care to know us. Even some of the "Bosniak" political leadership has sold itself to a new set of masters as those who would control the "white terrorists" on their behalf. - Congress of North American Bosniaks
