This will come as no surprise to our readers who have been tracking our posts on Poland's plan for world domination. Although I must say: New to me, that is one hell of a map;
From naked capitalism, April 16:
For the better part of a year the Putin administration has been accused of using “twisted logic” to spread the “false narrative” that Poland might join the fight in Ukraine. Recall that Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev published the following map last year:
Well we now have an increasing number of signs that something of the sort is in the works. The Polish ambassador to France said in March that Poland would be forced to enter the war if Ukraine failed. The quote:
Therefore, either Ukraine will defend its independence today, or we will have to enter this conflict. Because our main values, which were the basis of our civilization and our culture will be threatened. Therefore, we will have no choice but to enter the conflict.
The Polish embassy in France later walked the statement back, but more signs are pointing to Warsaw’s growing role.During his recent trip to Poland, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky made the following loaded comment: “You have stood shoulder to shoulder with us, and we are grateful for it,” and he added the pledge that be “no borders in political, economic and – especially important – in historical terms” between the two countries.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki was just making the rounds in the US where he criticized France and Germany and while visiting VP Kamala Harris at the White House and declared Poland the “leader of the new Europe” after the “failure of the old Europe.” More:
“Old Europe believed in an agreement with Russia and old Europe failed,” said the Polish premier. “But there is a new Europe, a Europe that remembers what Russian communism was, and Poland is the leader of this new Europe. Poland wants to become a bedrock of European security and we are on the right track.”
“Poland wants to build the strongest army in Europe, that is why we want to cooperate with the most advanced defence industry in the world, which is the American industry,” he continued.
Indeed, Morawiecki also met with US defense industry representatives to discuss financing the billions of dollars of Warsaw’s planned purchases of F-35 fighter jets, Abrams tanks, HIMARS artillery systems and Patriot missile launching units. Additionally, Morawiecki announced Polish aims to become the “service center” for the US-made Abrams tanks in Europe.
This narrative that Warsaw will be the new European power center of NATO as it is taking some sort of courageous stand that the Germans, French, and much of the EU refuse to do has been picking up steam in recent weeks. Consider the following:
A March 26 op-ed written by Dalibor Rohac, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, in Foreign Policy is titled “It’s Time to Bring Back the Polish-Lithuanian Union.”
Using the 700-year-old example of when the ruler of Lithuania, Jogaila, married the child queen of Poland, Jadwiga, to create a political union between Poland and Lithuania that also included large parts of today’s Belarus and Ukraine, Rohac urges the following....

The Russian commenters are talking about the Battle of Kursk and how good it will be to see Russian tanks destroying german tanks once again. That's not the way it's going to happen. As was shown in Syria, the Leopard 2 is very good tank vs tank. A serious problem for Leopard 2 crews arises if the turret is attacked from above or if the rear of the tank is attacked.

For the sake of the Polish people I sure hope their leaders understand what they are doing.
Being
a stalking horse out in front of the U.S. and NATO and especially the
EU, is a very dangerous position. And in addition, they've accepted
something on the order of three million Ukrainians who crossed the
border, an extraordinary humanitarian act on a national scale, but one
that can't go on forever. So here's wishing the Poles the best....
