Merkel and Putin are allied and pipelined up via natural gas. It’s Poland and countries that genuinely view Russia as a threat that rely on NATO most and pay up.
When the Solidarity movement was gaining ground in Poland for greater freedom, the Soviet and East German leaders made it clear to PM Jaruzelski that his nation was in a vise between the two and a Czech ‘68 style invasion might result if he didn’t get things under control.
Now it’s Merkel’s Germany and Putin’s Russia who are pressuring Poland and it is even eerily similar to September 1939. Both by the way have been very accomodating to the Muslims in their countries. Poland is anything but.
But the Polish military is not drilling with broomsticks nor is it alcohol-sozzled. Poland’s industries produce tanks & jet fighters, and the people are ready to defend their nation WITH the support of Pres. Trump since his Warsaw visit.
BTW the Polish pastor of our parish worships PDJT (non-divinely, of course).
They have to get military forces in place for the Molotov-Ribbentrop Agreement V2 so that Poland can be partitioned again.
Time to put missile defense back in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary.
