President Lech Kaczynski thinks the West is stronger than Russia and can and must stand up to it.

I’d like to see these guys stop looking for us to see if we back them, and just stand up to the russians fist, alone and say “live or Die” you A$$HOLE$ will never rule us again.
Then I’d say, “we got your back”

You mean like Czechslovakia did in 1968, right? Or like Hungary in 1956, right?

I'm sure they appreciated all the help from us when Russian tanks rolled through their streets.

Geopolitics is more complicated that this in any event (not talking to your allies before precipitous action that may start a regional war if it goes bad is simply stupid, when you are a country), but I think he did this when he flew to georgia last week.

The fact poland apparently insisted on a US defense treaty independent of NATO says they know where the europeans are in terms of being trusted to do anything under NATO obligations for Poland.

Off-topic, did the russians control georgian airspace? How did these heads of state get there?

You might have their back but the West would let them sink while saying how much they support them.
