interesting... so now Poland can impose its will on the US & EU!?

The NYT article is merely bullshit to divert responsibility from US deep state, same as the bullshit about Ukraine blowing up the Nordstream pipeline

There's nothing unusual about comparatively smaller states being able to manipulate military-strategic and political dynamics in order to get others to do their bidding.

I recently wrote about how this has played out to an extent between the US and Ukraine, but the US and pre-2008 Georgia is another good example:

There's also the case of pre-1979 Afghanistan and the USSR, the first of which repeatedly requested a Soviet intervention in support of its allied government.

I'd suggest broadening your worldview and moving beyond the over-simplistic cliche of countries only either being puppet masters or proxies.

In my view, US "allies" in Eastern Europe, such as Poland or Baltic States, have historical grievances with Russia. The illusion of security offered by NATO's Article V, gives them the confidence to act with impunity (for example playing crucial role in color revolutions and lobbying for sanctions). Essentially they want to use combined strength of western coalition to advance their agenda and, maybe, just maybe see collapse of Russia or at least a regime change in Moscow.

Wishful thinking if you ask me, but it's their choice.

The US for their part, obviously knows this and can exploit it to their advantage, making it a mutually beneficial relationship.

Wars are also what's causing 'climate change', thousands of sunk ships in our Oceans & Seas leaking toxins!

Ukraines' a total disaster now too!

Can you imagine what WWIII would do?

Thanks.
