No one forced Poland to join the EU. They want the EU cash and Ryanair flights. This is how the EU mafia works and everyone knows it.
LOL. Looks like it's really hard to understand why Poland joined the EU. Theoretically speaking, Poland gets more money from the EU than she pays to the common kitty. In fact, the criteria of getting money for perticular projects from the EU are so complicated that Poland is in the red.
The only real reason we voted for the EU was to get away from the grey zone between the West and Russia, and, taking Russia's attitude to Poland into consideration, we did absolutely right.
What else could we do? To count on USA? Turned her back on us long time ago! All that America could do for Poland's security (Bush's administration) was to promise us two batteries of the Patriot missiles on our territory, while Obama reduced that to one INOPERATIONAL battery only for training purposes.
If we were to chose between civilized West, although highly secular, and wild Russia still full of imperial sentiments, we had actually no choice.
But then again, what can a regular American say, when all that America could suffer was Obama’s or Japanese attack on USA. With due respect, the small town of Wielun lost more citizens in the first minute of WWII after Luftwaffe airraid than all victims of WTC.
So, why on Earth, should I tell you about millions of victims of Russian and German aggressors in our history (not only Soviet and Nazis!). Pointless. Beyond comprehension to you.
