Poland has emperial past like Turkey. At one time in history there was struggle between Poland and Turkey on one side and Russia on opposite.
Russian won and became new empire. But Poland and Turkey empires went into dusk.
Since then Poland and Turkey participated in many fights but always lost if they was alone.
SO it make the good memory on national character. Those countries and people fight succesfully only with help of strong allies.
I perfectly understand WHY Poland and Turkey now eager to be into EU. Why those countries don't like to be independent, why Poland for example exchanges the ranks of Soviet empire to EU empire. Poland doesn't want to be alone to be independent. History and national character what it is.
What make me laugh then is when Poland and Turkey whose don't stand to be independent at first place try to teach Russia about freedom:).
It is wrong address for teaching. Russia ALWAYS independent means free but Poland and Turkey are always under ruling of other stronger countries! I call you to look into history yourself:).
Merry Christmas!
