The Poles may be noble and much more honorable than the Germans, but they and other Europeans must come to understand that Americans will never again sacrifice blood and treasure on their behalf. No American mother wants their son to die fighting for the “just” borders of the Ukraine.
Poland remembers what “European unity” has meant in the past.
“Trump divides Germany and Poland”.
As if Poland and Germany have been unified over the years. Think back to World War II, when Germany and Russia attacked and divided up Poland. That’s left a mark in Polish national memory.
This sounds like a great opportunity for Trump to forge a new and stronger relationship with Poland.
The current conservative Polish government is a just a speed bump. The young people in Poland are fully onboard the EU fantasy and it’s just a matter of time until the generation that remembers communism dies off.
The Poles rightly see Germany’s real aim as strengthening the EU in opposition to America as a means of increasing GERMANY’S power and control since Germany will always dominate the EU - particularly with the UK seceding. Furthermore, history has taught the Poles bitter lessons about what happens when you are weak in the face of Russian aggression or when you rely on security guarantees from feckless Yurps.
Remember WW2? Poland does. And maybe Germany does as well but from a different viewpoint.
None of this should be considered unexpected.
Who says Germans don't have a sense of humor. That's rather droll, isn't it?
