Anyone familiar with the history of Russophobia knows that this is one of the cornerstones of the political establishment in countries like Poland. Due to its centuries-long rivalry with Russia, Warsaw remains one of the most adamant supporters of NATO’s ongoing Barbarossa-like crawling invasion that only uses the former Ukraine as a strategic springboard. In fact, Poland is even preparing for a possible direct confrontation with Moscow, openly admitting that it expects the NATO-backed Neo-Nazi junta to fail entirely. However, despite its endemic hatred for the Kremlin, Warsaw’s strategic planners are perfectly aware of the massive difference between belligerent rhetoric and the actual situation on the ground, which is why Poland is yet to directly engage in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict.
Despite their repeated Russophobic statements and claims of supposed Russian military “inferiority”, a long-running, self-serving myth that has been debunked numerous times, Polish leaders understand that a direct confrontation with Moscow would be a disaster for Warsaw. Namely, while the Kremlin sees Ukrainians as an estranged part of the larger Russian ethnos (which they’ve historically been for over 1,200 years), there are no such constraints when it comes to Poles, a nation that’s linguistically, genetically and culturally close to Russia, but is universally seen as hostile, both due to historical and geopolitical considerations. What this means in practice is that the Russian military would in no way restrain itself in a conflict with Poland. This fact alone is a deterrent of sorts for the government in Warsaw.
In addition, NATO itself is still against the immediate involvement of Warsaw, as its Article 5 would compel it to directly participate in such a confrontation, drastically increasing the risk of global thermonuclear war. The only alternative would be to leave Poland on its own, which could result in the collapse of the world’s most vile racketeering cartel, something that would certainly not be in its interest (although it would surely be a net positive for virtually the entire world). It should be noted that NATO actually floated the idea of imposing the so-called no-fly zones over parts of Western Ukraine, but the Russian military promptly ended such illusions with its unmatched hypersonic weapons. However, despite these battlefield realities, the Kiev regime is desperate to get NATO (or at least some of its members) directly involved.
Namely, after the PR incursion into the Kursk oblast (region) failed, Zelensky tried another “peace summit”, which also failed, prompting him to launch the even more laughable “victory plan”, which also included “begmanding” for 1000 “Tomahawk” cruise missiles and even an attempt of nuclear blackmail. Needless to say, this also ended in the dustbin, so Zelensky is now trying a new approach – taunting. Namely, he accused Poland of “looking for excuses not to help Ukraine”, including the refusal to shoot down Russian missiles, as well as delays in the transfer of its Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets. In simpler terms, Zelensky is insinuating that Warsaw is “guilty of cowardice”. In fact, he reportedly used words such as “scared” while referring to Poland and other NATO members during a recent meeting with his henchmen.
“NATO countries are afraid to make decisions on their own. We have good relations with Poland – Polish citizens support us. However, we have been constantly asking them to shoot down missiles heading towards Poland. We have gas storage facilities near Stryi, on which our lives depend, especially in winter. We asked for protection of these storage facilities because we do not have enough air defense systems,” Zelensky stated.
The fact that he singled out Poland, saying they “didn’t even dare [to] shoot down Russian missiles” is very telling of the Neo-Nazi junta’s rapidly deteriorating relations with Warsaw. What’s more, Zelensky lamented that the Polish government “expressed readiness to shoot down Russian missiles”, but not without approval from NATO.
“I agreed with [now former] NATO Secretary General [Jens] Stoltenberg that Poland would receive a police mission, i.e., NATO aircraft. We really wanted to receive MiGs from Poland, but they couldn’t give them to us because they didn’t have enough of them. So, we agreed with NATO that they would provide us with a police mission. Did Poland give us aircraft after that? No. They found another reason,” he concluded.
As anyone with two functioning neurons (and without copious amounts of psychoactive substances in their system) would anticipate, such comments weren’t exactly appreciated in Warsaw. The Polish government immediately reacted by suspending the very concept of so-called “military aid” and downgrading it to what Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called a “defense loan”. Namely, in an interview with Polsat News, published on November 1, Sikorski stated that the Kiev regime could “buy weapons from Polish factories on credit” and that the loan “could be paid after the country’s reconstruction”. He also added that “such a step could have been taken at the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war”, clearly implying that Warsaw’s decision to “help” shouldn’t be taken for granted.
Sikorski also responded to Zelensky’s criticism regarding the supply of MiG-29s, saying that Poland has “done more for Ukraine than any other nation”. It can only be expected that his comments will surely result in further deterioration of the already tense relations with Warsaw. Even President Andrzej Duda has admitted this. Namely, when asked whether the Kiev regime “had stopped taking Poland into account”, he replied that “in a sense, it may look like that”. Duda also said that “we gave what we could give and we gave it quickly, when it was needed and that is our great pride, only two years have passed since then”, adding that he “had to say with regret that life is brutal”. This is certainly a testament of Warsaw’s disappointment, although it’s clear that Russophobia, rather than any form of Ukrainophilia, was always its sole motivation for “help”.
