Wow, you’re going off the rails there, with all due respect; Poland like Cuba in what way? The EU and Germany go after Poland for not being as far left socially as they are, FCOL.

If you can convince Germany to revitalize its alliance with the US, that’s fine, but not on Germany’s terms. That country, in case you haven’t noticed, has been convulsing with hatred for Trump for four years and without reason.

Poland is not “factually” a net receiver from the EUSSR. The biggest net recipient over the past two decades is in fact Germany, who for a while was actually able to borrow money at negative interest rates.

Your defense of the EUSSR is wearing thin at this point, as is your defense of collectivism.

I am clearly not comparing them based on their politics.
We are now talking about trade and transit routes which is a function of geography, not politics, and you are trying to apply double standards.

What is your claim for Poland not being a receiver based on? The numbers are pretty much transparent. It contributes in single digits receiving hundreds of billions in return.

What the attitude of the Germans to Trump has to do with all the above? Almost half of Americans hate Trumps too so what?

I am once again puzzled what makes me an advocate of EU in your eyes. I am generally against the EU big time. It is you who are advocating minor EU members meddling in the sovereign business of other countries through EU.

Germany doesn’t try to set terms of alliance with US. Not in this case for sure. In this situation it acts like a sovereign nation exercising its rights to pursue national interest which are neither American nor Polish business.

When did Germany tell Poland how and where it should buy its gas from. In this case it is a Polish business.
