The common denominator between these developments is the progress being made on reviving Poland’s long-lost status as a Great Power as proven by its increasingly central role in the region.
Wow that is quite something seeing your summary like that. I won’t claim to know what it means or where it leads but it really help me with context and counterbalance against most (uk) media.
That's not what YOU think, the world has a lot of people in it and you do not know how they think. Quite a lot of them probably think that colonialism was the #1.
Yes, but recreating Poland after WWI is also related to that. It's not just the ME entity, the problem is global, and inter-war Poland was a major nest. It is not accidental that Naziyahu and a lot of his cronies speak Polish so well.
Poland will never reach long term stability by becoming an American proxy. The historical examples are painfully clear on what happens to America’s discarded friends. The solution for the smaller Central European nations is in the enlargement of a Visgrad States type organization that could convince Russia on the long run to cooperate and remain on friendly terms. There are a dozen smaller nations there, if I include the three small Baltic States. That would be enough economic and military strength to stay independent. This would be even in the geopolitical interests of Germany. Long term stability is what all should be chasing after, NOT WAR.
Jean de la Fontaine : the frog which wanted to grow like a beef.
It's Poland.
Poland is a dwarf full of air blowed by other countries: USA, France, Germany.
Without own wealth, without own army strength, without industry, without ressources, without intelligence, without big population and strong demography, a dwarf. A frog trying to be a bull. It move recklessly in the geopolitical winds like a big ballon.
If foreign nations stop blowing it will deflate like a shitty balloon. If Russia put a needle in it it will burst.
Poland died and disappeared in 1795, 230 years ago and only re-born and exist only by the good will of others
" Without own wealth, without own army strength, without industry, without resources, without intelligence, without big population and strong demography, a dwarf. "
" France" wont exist in a few years or decades. Francistan will though and so will Poland. Enjoy your Africans and Muslims while they still allow you to live.
No exemple of a country having known the power and the first places and fallen down which rise up again.
France were at the top near 1680 and began to slowly fall down with an acceleration in 1792 and a decisive fall in 1815.
Poland was the greatest power of eastern Europe untill "Deluge". It remained strong enough to break the Ottomans in front of Vienna but it can't survive at the growth of Prussian and Russia.
1795 was the end of the bal for Poland.
Egyptians,Persians, Greeks, Macedonians, Romans, Abassyds, Ottomans, Spanish, , Poles, French, English, Germans, all passed and they will never come back.
"No example of a country having known the power and the first places and fallen down which rise up again."
I have to disagree with you here: one of the powers you listed pulled exactly that trick, first as the Achaemenid Empire c. 500 BC, and then as the Sassanian Empire c. 250 AD. So it is doable. Still a major player today. And Egypt, China, and Greece had collapses and comebacks as well.
Even France did, first as Charlemagne's empire, then the Bourbons, then again under Napoleon I, though I agree it appears spent now. But that may be just because Europe in general is now administered by the amoral, incompetent, and utterly cretinous caste of Cabal stooges.
Not that it has any bearing on Poland. And Poland was never a "Great Power" in the first place, a regional power yes, sort of like Turkey today, but centuries ago. And the inflated frog parable is very apt.
Only Poles can dream of becoming a great power agaain. That ended in their entering Moscow twice in the early 1600,s and being defeated. Since then they have had occassional wins here and there only to be beaten For well over a century they failed to be a country since they were under German & Rrussian control. Poland get with it, you are a "small potatoe ".
The dismal EU political "leadership" is afraid to hang once the ongoing economic nosedive registers with the masses. They are desperately resorting to the traditional response to this situation: blaming someone abroad, stirring up war, and shunting the disgruntled young male populace to the front as cannon fodder. This is so classic, even these morons can follow the script.
And they think---or their handlers make them think---that the "elites" themselves will be above suffering any consequences, like the countless times this ploy has been played before. Except that with nukes, things may no longer turn out so predictably.
Surely you are not serious. Walesa was not just a double, but a triple agent, a figurehead with an intelligence-astroturfed "heroic worker" background, and dense as a brick. His job was to front the under-the-table reorientation of the local communist nomenklatura from sucking Soviet dick to sucking the American one.
The fact still remains that Lech Wałęsa was Man Enough to stand up against his commie overlords, took early leadership of Solidarity and was sent to prison by the commies on numerous occasions. He started to organize against the commies already in 1970, twenty years before their collapse. And while he was doing all these things he held a job as a shipyard electrician and had eight children. He truly was a gravedigger for the communist system and God blessed him in many ways for his services.
You are firmly committed to the official kayfabe narrative, I see. He did not "stand up to the commies", he was a paid agent of the Polish Security Service, a documented fact, and his scripted role, as I already noted, was to be the front man for transitioning the country to another sphere of influence while the Soviet Union was down. His key moves, like the expulsion of Soviet garrisons, were orchestrated by USAID funded NGOs with the collusion of the Security Service. And he did not "take leadership", he was installed to cockblock the rise to power of genuine dissidents, like Andrzej Gwiazda or Anna Walentynowicz, whom you can google to expand your knowledge base. A very typical controlled opposition figure.
For those who are wondering about this exchange the solution of the riddle is in the understanding of the functions of the communist state apparatus. Security services, spy rings were ever present and all encompassing just like in today's Western societies but they were operating out in the open, forcefully. The few talented individuals who had an insuppressible desire to dig a grave for this collection of slime were fighting, maneuvering for their daily lives and bread while were occasionally cornered, forced to sign a promise of cooperation, for possible use of blackmail later. One had to take a step backward once to survive sometimes, to take two steps forward the next day. They fought for their own sanity, their families and nation.
Lech Wałęsa was one of them and Istvan Csurka of Hungary was another. They also forced to sign Csurka some paperwork as he was a talented, well known writer but he never delivered anything to them. Before the 1990 collapse, at the moment when he smelled freedom in the air he publicly declared Lenin a 'syphilis ridden jew' not a minor crime at the time. As later published researches indicated, his statement was right on the facts. Wałęsa in 1970 and for many years later had no way to understand the depths of rot the Western World was herded toward. He was thinking in terms to save Poland from the clutches of the Soviet regime. From inside the beast anything looked like a bright hope to achieve this goal. I was there, I have seen it.
The political interests of Germany are changing. The globalists there are being crushed by the AFD with Germany just reopening their largest military manufacturer. If Germany still owes Poland from its surrender agreement then Poland has claim to those reparations. I’m not so sure Poland is doing this to build up against Russia. It may seem that is the reason now but history has shown us and why we refuse to heed to it a unified Germany will lead to bad things. They are beating the war monger globalists right now and that Russian enemy might be the reason for their rapid armament right now I have concern for the future because Germany gets bored easily and can be upset with perceived slights. Every time Germany has been allowed to unify bad shit happens.
Illusions de grandeur spiced with paranoid russophobia and egregious sycophancy towards the US.
Exactly.

Biggest mistake in European history was to recreate Poland at Versailles. Caused nothing but problems ever since.
Really ? Biggest mistake in European history ? What do you call Europe's agreement to establish Israel then ?
The second worst mistake.
Thats not what the world thinks.
That's not what YOU think, the world has a lot of people in it and you do not know how they think. Quite a lot of them probably think that colonialism was the #1.
The "chosen" are the number one problem.
Yes, but recreating Poland after WWI is also related to that. It's not just the ME entity, the problem is global, and inter-war Poland was a major nest. It is not accidental that Naziyahu and a lot of his cronies speak Polish so well.
French stupidity and arrogance. And I know what I'm talking about .
Dumbness is the proper of those two countries and it's probably what link them together

Out of topic .
France as a great power is dead in June 1940. And?
We don't speak about France but Poland. This kind of reaction is childish.
You're probably Pole.
To be perfectly clear,I'm French. But I consider that France has had one leg cut in 1813-15.
It spend all its 19e century to build a wooden leg with it's colonies.
It was winner but deadly wounded in Verdun in 1916. Loosing in the slaughter it's fighting spirit and it's most brave young blood.
It died definitely in June 1940. And after the short illusion de Gaulle, it has been buried in 2008 with the awful "American friend" Sarkozy.
Now, it's just the noises and the smell of decomposition with worms like Hollande or Macron.
Instead of attacking Poland maybe you should concentrate on how to restore French soverighnmty .
No my friend. To late.
History is a one way ticket.
No exemple of a country having known the power and the first places and fallen down which rise up again.
France were at the top near 1680 and began to slowly fall down with an acceleration in 1792 and a decisive fall in 1815.

1795 was the end of the bal for Poland.
Egyptians,Persians, Greeks, Macedonians, Romans, Abassyds, Ottomans, Spanish, , Poles, French, English, Germans, all passed and they will never come back.
Now we are all US empire colonies.
The only difference is that Poland wanted that.

" The only difference is that Poland wanted that. "
To be fair, France didnt put up much of a fight.
Till 2008 we did. We didn't go in Iran, Poland yes, just for sucking US d...k.
De Gaulle ousted US based from France and went out NATO.
France had a idea, with Germany, of a sovereign UE which Poland had betray and has help USA to break it.
Now, France and Poland are the same US bitches.
" Trump Committed To Keeping US Troops In Poland & Suggested Sending More "
You dont reclaim your former glory and status as a power while having foreign troops stationed on your soil. Poland is an occupied land.
" He Also Wants To Host French Nukes & Possibly Develop Poland’s Own One Day "
French nukes can fly at Russia while Poland gets destroyed in the retaliation. A great idea for the French, not so much if you're Polish.
An Oreschnik or Zircon on Elysée can be as easy as on Poland.
Only Poles can dream of becoming a great power agaain. That ended in their entering Moscow twice in the early 1600,s and being defeated. Since then they have had occassional wins here and there only to be beaten For well over a century they failed to be a country since they were under German & Rrussian control.

'.
No Pole sits around dreaming about Poland becoming a word power. However, Germany and Russia sure seem desperate to regain their former glory.
Tell that to the morons who lead your country
The "morons" who lead "my" country are running circles around BRICS and the global south.
????
Ok , I perhaps made a mistake. So I repeat differently:
Say that to the dumb lunatics who lead Poland
Reading this made me realize we are heading towards a full fledged war against Russia. WW3 is coming, some analysts say it's already here.
The West isn't backing down because they can't admit their blunder. I would buy some Potassium Iodide if I lived in Europe.

Bring back Solidarity!
Why ? It was a US setup color revolution.
Lech Wałęsa for President!!!

Dont worry about Germany, it will only be speaking Arabic soon.
Hopefully they start there first.
But will the they ?
If the AFD gets its way there’s more a chance that it will than the idiots in now
Unless its an already compromised Trojan horse.
" Poland also started World War II together with Great Britain... not Germany! "
The country that invades first is the culprit.
" We will get our stolen land back, and this artificial state will disappear. "
Very funny, Germany will be Germistan long before that occurs. Additionally, check out Poland's historical borders before you spew kraut nonsense.
