But this applies similarly, if in reverse, to the West: on the one hand, the principles of a new Europe as defined by the OSCE after 1989/1990 don’t allow decisions about alliances to be subject to the veto of a large neighbor. The same is true for free and secret elections and the inviolability of borders.
但是，如果反过来，这同样对西方适用：一方面，在1989/1990年后由欧洲安全与合作组织确定的新欧洲的原则，不允许有关联盟的决定可以遭到一个相邻的大国的否决。在自由和秘密选举以及边境神圣不可侵犯上，也是如此。
