I am sure the French and Germans are right now saying

“WHAT’S THIS ‘WE’ STUFF, SIKORSKI?”

I don’t know what the President of Poland knows, but I still wouldn’t count on the Western Europeans standing together with Poland on anything.

Don't mess up with Sikorski (or Sikorsky? Whatever :-)))

I wouldn’t count on the narcisstic European socialists to stand for anything except wardrobe choices, restaurant selection, and travel plans.....

On the other hand, the US has always stood with Poland, just like in 1945.... ah, well - not.

But I actually think that Sikorski is referring to another "cold war" instead of an actual military (or even nuclear) confrontation. That's why he's referring to "Europe is 10 times richer". And he's right. Russia needs e.g. German tunnel boring machines (TBMs) etc. to rebuild it's infrastructure. Russia would suffer more from isolation than Europe would from interruptions in energy supply. After all, if Russia ceased its oil production, it would go broke and if it re-routed its oil flow to China, that would free up capacities elsewhere. Disruptions would last a few years, at most, Russia's inevitable decline for decades.
