Poland is bellyaching that the Russians are requiring payment for Russian gas in Rubles. They are taking extraordinary steps to get Russian gas through Germany. Apparently, Poland would be quite happy for World War III to commence if it meant crushing Russia and reducing Russia to a vassal state of the west.
Curiously though, the Poles see the Russian Ukraine war as a way to regain lands currently held by Ukraine. It seems to me that if Poland saw this as an opportunity to regain lost territory, they would a bit more cooperative with Russia.
But then it’s a clown world out there. Clear thinking is not prevailing.
My friend Austin writes,
America and Europe have allowed the Poles to fester in their Russia-hatred instead of telling them to put on their Big Boy pants and learn to get along with their neighbors.
Much said about Nordstream 2 and other hydrocarbon imports from Russia creating a dependency also applies to Poland blocking Russia’s access to export ports.
Right now, Poland wants “somebody else” to destroy Russia, including by nuclear war if it comes to that.
I seldom worked with Poles, find much about Polish culture and current politics attractive, but this is simply turd misbehavior upon which I slam the door.
Americans are el-stupid-O and will let Seccy. Austin foment WW III to satisfy Polish Turdism.
