Poland cannot make any assumptions on getting outside help.
I am glad to see the Tusk Government has fast-tracked increasing their Fracking capabilities. And frankly a military buildup would also be a good idea.
Article 5 of the Washington Treaty:
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security
Article 5 was invoked the first and only time after the US was attacked on 9/11. It is the reason why NATO headed our forces in Afghanistan.
Poland meanwhile, imports about 70% of its gas from Russia, as well as Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It’s been like that since the existence of Warsaw block, and it hasn’t changed in 25 years, only increased.
As for the Baltics republics Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, they depend at 100% on Russia’s oil and gas exports, and Germany at 40%. Any economic war with Russsia would bankrupt those countries.
