Being Russian I could never understand the misguided souls of our Polish brothers (and even more importantly systers :-) – why the hell they are so bound to succombing to the West?
Granted, Poland was in the divide, cut, paste process for centuries, but why only Russia is blamed for that? The only plausable theory is that people hate relatives more then strangers, even if they abuse them more.

I don’t think so. This is the US/Russia matter. I do not believe in notion of “democracy” even in the US (need to see the end of Iraq war first), much less so in Poland.

I wish, but I doubt.

I guess Poland doesnâ€™t have the Diebold voting mis-calculators in place yet.

So many jokes. So little time.

But forget Poland. They’ll take the US missiles. They just want to charge a bit more for keeping them. At least that’s rational.

In Poland Israeli lobby is bigger than in USA.
Radek Sikorski – from American Enterprise Institute (Neocon) is going to by Polish Foreign Minister.

Nasty anti-slavic comment by a Zionist fanantic zio-fascist. Intended to ridicule any independence from the zionist agenda by one of it’s thought police. Such expressions of cultural imperialism endangers good Jews and good Israelis. If Israelis ever attained to a transparent understanding of the founding of the entity going by the name of the ancient nation of Israel and live in Torah rather than the demonic musings of the traditions , those against them would cease to resist. Peace is attained through righteousness and righeousness is summed up in the golden rule. The present actions and agenda of the zionist state is unrighteous both in regard to the legitimate inhabitants of Palestine and the citizens of other nations as they continue to attempt to dominate , decieve , through undemocratic political devices. These actions over the centuries have been the basic for the antagonism towards the chosen people. A few trouble makers endanger the majority of rest of the people. Resorting to tribalism and racism as a means of survival has not served the Jewish people. Peace

oh, and about that comment that poland doesn’t have a jewish lobby? well, again i don’t want to disenchant. but the fact that polish foreign policy has been perfectly alligned with the us-raeli policies for more than one election cycle is not entirely a coincidence.
you know, there are no chasidic or orthodox jews walking the steets of warsaw (except for some newcomers recently), but lots of half-assimilated ones, often in very high places, the actual players behind the scenes. there’s no ipac there’s no policy documents that will spell out the support of israel as the real goal, because that wouldn’t go down well with the population.
things are dressed up as, say, anti-putin policy, and that’s totally acceptable for poles. i would be very very surprised to see any real change in the orientation of poland’s foreing affairs, especially not if the polish neocon sikorsky is back. we’ll see if he get’s the job. he’s already been mentioned by tusk, but not officially.

unfortunately, don’t count on the quick withdrawal scenario. it’s just politics, PO is a right-centrist party which is actually ok with the 10 rockets and some troops remaining until 2009 (you’ll see how they change from 2007 to 2008 to 2009, just watch it!).

It’s just that they are not complete crazies like kaczynskis and don’t want to suck up to bush for litearally nothing. they’ll negotiate their price: non-visa entry or patriot missiles or something like that.

in fact, it’s bad. the new gov. plans to bring in the old minister of defence, radek sikorski, a well known figure at pnac, aipac, and capitol. he once was in afghanistan, fighting communists together with al qaida. he baught the delapidates f-16s, and got polish units into iraq. and now he’s gonna be a foreign affairs minister. why?

polish politics is driven by anti-russian sentiments, and they all think that us will rescue them if they overdo their antirussian politics. how silly, same dreams as with churchill and the french in the summer of 1939. u.s. is only afraid of those who have icbm’s and poland is just a forward base for geopolitics. bush and putin are pals. but, unlike in the original plan, u.s. will have to actually pay some rent for poland’s services. not much, but they’ll have to. sorry to disappoint you, if i have done so.

i actually hate that sikorski part although i voted for the civic platform party.
