"It’s about time that Sikorski does too and officially drops his support for this scheme."

Yeah, right: like he's going to go out, find himself a new wife and kids, and reinvent his entire career history overnight, right?! See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radosław_Sikorski. He hasn't said and done what he has and become what he's become for no good reason, nor without considered investment of considerable effort. Cut him some slack and give him a break, already: he's got nowhere to go now!

Just let him slink away and disappear peacefully. They'll find a failed loyalist's role for him somewhere, which I'm sure he'll manage to convince himself is good for him and the world. It's not fair to expect miracles. He's only one of many, many, many who have earned this awkward position they now find themselves in. Give the man a break: allow him to be forgotten. It's in everyone's interests: cornered rats, when openly threatened, or compelled to run away can be very dangerous; they can climb up the stick they're being chased off with and go for the eyes of their persecutor.

Don't kid yourselves. NATO support will come.

Sikorski’s glee when the Nord Stream pipeline was destroyed, will be a shadow that he will never evade.

The problem in Poland is not even the Russophobia I think, because if you consider this as legal they have the same against the Germans. They live stuck in the noble republic, historical feudal state and elective kingship (1569-1795) https://www.wikiwand.com/de/articles/Polen-Litauen and this had its sequel in Józef Piłsudski - Polish marshal and dictator, statesman and his 3-Sea Initiative. This is what drives the Polish elite in my view to this day. If Poland could, it would take over the old territories today as tomorrow. What we have not read everything, no matter from which side, about areas in the western Ukraine that could go to Poland because they were eventually one of Polish.

The whole thing of course also came to the US Democrats can be considered as set.

The right of self-determination of peoples is discussed in a 1659 published Gentis Felicitas by Johann Amos Comenius. During the French Revolution, in the League of Nations, in the US Declaration of Independence, from Lenin to the present day and yet it was never really implemented but is the problem because

People is to be understood in many revolutions as a political category, which manifests itself in "vertical", that is, with the classical elites (nobility, king), but not in horizontal" (unlike other ethnic groups) demarcation.

Based on this, the situation has been trampled on, as we are currently seeing in many countries in Europe, but also in institutions such as the EU and NATO.
