A Polish magazine said Sunday it has obtained recordings of a conversation in which Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski says the countrys strong alliance with the U.S. isnt worth anything and is even harmful because it creates a false sense of security.
In a short transcript of the conversation, a person identified as Sikorski by the magazine Wprost tells former finance minister, Jacek Rostowski, that Poles naïvely believe the U.S. bolsters their security. Using vulgar language, the person argues that such beliefs are nonsense, and that the Polish-U.S. alliance alienates the Russians and Germans.
There has been no official confirmation that it is Sikorski who speaks in the conversation.

Under Obama’s rule, you are absolutely right.

The United States under Bronco Bama will NOT come to the aid of any country, unless it is on the side of besieged Muslims in that country.

Yes, well, with Barack Hussein Obama occupying the Oval Office, I agree.
He is singularly and spectacularly UNTRUSTWORTHY.
To: armydawg505
Under Obamas rule, you are absolutely right.Any rational country contemplating their dependence on US military protection better come to the same conclusion - for any 'Rat administration. Such countries are, at best, on their own or, like Israel, positively hamstrung by the marxist, racist Democrats

Oh Poor Poland, if there was any country who ties I wish I had in my Blood line it's that one (I am sure there is though, I just can't find it. since Prussia, Russia and Austria Partioned the country, that is why Germany had so many Jews)
This isn't the first time the U.S. has betryaed the Poles to the KGB.
The United States Practically GAVE them everything WEST OF THE VISTULA RIVER~!!!!
And FDR seemed just fine with it.

Interesting that even foreign leaders are unwilling to state out loud the reason... Barack Inane Obama.

They finally caught on to Mr. Flexibility!!
And if you don't think the new administration in Ukraine is guilty of ethnic cleansing, you're kidding yourself.
Go back to the coup....and see what the first rule of law was....No Russian language allowed!!

They’re fine with conflating the US and Obama.

“the countrys strong alliance with the U.S. isnt worth anything and is even harmful because it creates a false sense of security.”
Unfortunately he is right.
Under the Obama Administration the U.S. betrays and hurts its friends and rewards its enemies.
To: KC_Lion
That’s because he was a collectivist just like Stalin!

If it wasn’t for Reagan and GW Bush, I wouldn’t see a single reason for the Poles to ever have trusted us for the past 70 years.
