Polish presidential elections: ‘We don’t like either…’

1. Hmmm, some serious misunderstandings of history and its relevance to today need clearing up.

   Poland’s position in 1939 and today are not comparable – at least in terms of security prospects. In 1939 Poland faced relative military colossi of aggressive totalitarian nature on both sides, and relied on a hasty paper guarantee without real backing or conviction from Britain and France, which incidentally acted as an incentive for those hostile colossi to make a deal at Poland’s expense. Poland was also itself relatively backward militarily, despite certain notable achievements such as the early breaking of the Enigma codes. And, it had stood by while a potential key ally against Hitler’s Germany especially was dismantled, namely Czechoslovakia, and even played a small role in dividing the spoils. In short, the Polish leadership and position of that time was truly woeful – with the known results.

   Today however, Poland’s NATO membership, and relative prosperity and unity, backed by actual US and other troop deployments, real forces with real capabilities and long tails, coupled with Germany being a military (and moral) midget, with no prospect of any serious military-imperial revival, mean that there is no chance at all of a repeat of 1939, whether Poland is in the EU or not. And in fact, EU membership is a likely liability to Poland, as it will provide the necessary and sufficient condition for Poland to end up like Germany as to military-moral weakness, but without even Germany’s remaining bureaucratic-economic power, and it also has the potential to weaken NATO and the US commitment to maintain its associated obligations, especially via the ‘EU Army’ project. It also prevents Poland from forming really close and effective local alliances with neighbors such as the V4, as such attempts are subsumed under and overridden by EU-Brussels-Berlin priorities instead, which do NOT include a strong independent Poland or V4. Poland’s best bet by far is to aim for maximum self- and local-reliance under NATO, and to exit the enervating EU as soon as possible, which NATO membership along with adequate self-reliance is quite sufficient security cover for, and to then also form close arrangements with such neighbors as are willing, some of whom will indeed then be obliged to bid higher for Polish cooperation than otherwise, and even consider following the same route in order to avoid being absorbed into the EU-Reich-Bureaucratic-Superstate project. Modern Poland in NATO is quite capable of acting as an independent ‘Pole’ so to speak of Central-East European organization, free from imperial domination by either the Brussels-Berlin Axis, or Moscow, and guaranteeing for the ‘in-between’ states the sort of liberty and culture they prefer and are more suited to, than being mere serfs and lackeys of domineering neighbors. The US is an excellent ‘global’ guarantor of Polish security as it has no aggressive aims of its own on Poland, yet has a tremendous military power with worldwide projection capabilities – and the NATO alliance to back it up. NATO is what should be preserved and strengthened, it was undoubtedly the guarantor of peace in postwar Europe, not the EU or EC which tries to claim credit for what it played no significant role in.

   Also, it would make sense for Poland to acquire/host some sort of nuclear capacity, at least comparable to Germany (ie under NATO), without going overboard. And to always maintain strong and capable conventional armed forces, across all services and domains, within the financial possibilties. The 2010 Smolensk-Katyn ‘incident’ shows what can happen when Poland is weak and divided, and reliant on the wrong partners and technology, and procedures. The suspicious wiping out of the large part of the national leadership in one blow, to the benefit of the pro-EU opposition, and its Russian ‘partner’, is not something that would be possible in a strong yet smart Poland overreliant on either the EU or Russia, a Poland living up to its best historical traditions as an independent power of vital import to the security of Central Europe, a Poland that any European patriot could be proud to respect and regard in positive terms, a Poland that is nobody’s serf or lackey, let alone a traitor to its own and its region’s history and culture, liberty and security.

2. Biden would certainly prefer the progressive forces in Poland.

   Whilst Trump is no paragon or serious genius, Biden and his sidekick Harris are spiritual, scientific, moral, historical, geopolitical, ethnic, and cultural imbeciles, for whom Poland is merely another client-state amongst so many, to be hammered like a square peg into a round hole regardless of particular identity, history, tradition, culture, and needs (or costs), in service of truly bizarre Globalist-LGBTQwertyuiop-Feminazi-Multiculti-Islam-spreading agendas of anti-white-West-Christian ethno-cultural liquidation. Nevertheless, they would be obliged to maintain the NATO obligations, and that is enough. Otherwise their VS-BS can (indeed must be) be safely and soundly ignored for the true crap it is.
