    views the Baltic and Polish people as meat shields for Western Europe

    To be fair, this is a point of view shared and very often consciously, by every Polish government since 1989

      Yeah, it’s either enemies to the east with the libs, or enemies on both sides with the fash. Either way, Poland is an eternal martyr that has to prepare itself to fight at any moment.

      Amazingly brainwormed country, I love nationalism.

        I remember PM Cyrankiewicz having a Cassandra-Stalin moment and saying that for once we are in alliance with the people of both Russia and Germany but if socialism would be gone we would immediately be dependant on Germany and enemies with Russia. And lo and behold. No wonder current historical revisionists hate him so much they stole his heroic stance during WW2 and put it on a fash like Pilecki.
