Been here forever, first time post, please be gentle.
I don't know the backstory here but it should prove interesting. Thoughts?

Welcome, and thanks for this post! I find it intersting that he comes to quit so easily. Perhaps he has higher aspirations now, or plans to retire completely. Off to look for more...

Well, so much for 'Solidarity'.

I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Walesa a few years ago. He would be a great stand up comedian. He has perfect comdic timing, even when using an interpreter.

People I knew at the time did not respect him anyway. They claimed he wasn't who he pretended to be. They predicted this eons ago.
Fascinating for me to see it come to pass. Bet he got his palms well greased. May God uncover and reveal all the undercovers things going on here and strengthen the Polish people to smack him aside and walk upright away from him.

It is a pity that Walesa is unable to reconcile with former Solidarity buddies while on the other hand invite ex-commies to his birthday parties.

I remember how hopeful Americans were at the time that change was coming to Poland and Eastern Europe.
