What do you think about the Swiss way? They have a quiet restaurant while are not allied with anybody. The issue whether the proposed base is against Russia or not is an issue of trust/distrust. From the Polands's view Russia won't be able to invade Poland any soon with conventional means while using nuclear weapon against Poland is pointless in terms of profit. Who needs a nuclear wasteland? Why would Russia want Polish territory? Poland could use the time to progress up to Germany's or France's level of development.

I respect the Swiss way very much. But as you know their story is very complicated, unique and unlikely to be repeated by any country because of geography (not flat but surrounded by mountains), long neutrality tradition (no wars in centuries), coexistence of different cultures, languages (3 equal official languages). To reverse the question - what do you think about the Canadian way?
It is in well understood Polish and American interest to be able to protect themselves against attack from any side. There's nothing to discuss here. So although nobody really wants atomic wasteland Russia "owns guns" and wouldn't disarm if China nicely asked to, is that right? And China doesn't want Russian territory, too.
P.S.
French have nukes. But I don't think this or % of muslim population is the level of development you had in mind.

But really, you'd prefer the Finnish way. Right?
