Bosak: We should begin to tame the planet with our atomic weapons aspirations

In fresh weeks, the subject of atomic weapons in the context of Poland has become the subject of lively discussion among politicians and experts. Deputy talker of the Sejm Krzysztof Bosak (Confederation) during Sunday's Rymanowski breakfast in Polsat News expressed his position on this matter, stressing that Poland should declare its ambition to participate in atomic Sharing programmes.

Nuclear Sharing: Chance or Challenge?

Krzysztof Bosak pointed out that Poland should actively search participation in atomic Sharing programmes, i.e. the sharing of atomic weapons within NATO. "I think that Poland should, of course, declare its ambition to participate in the atomic Sharing programmes and talk about it with the French and with the Americans," said the Deputy Marshal. At the same time, he pointed out that the reactions of global partners could initially be cautious or even cool.

Bosak besides stressed the key issue related to atomic Sharing: "We should realize that the crucial thing about atomic Sharing is who yet has this mythical button, which is who decides to usage atomic warheads". In his opinion, Poland should not only search participation in atomic weapons management, but besides open a debate on gaining competence to produce atomic weapons.

President Duda and Prime Minister Tusk on atomic weapons
Bosak's message fits into the broader context of the discussion which takes place in Poland at the highest levels of power. president Andrzej Duda in an interview with the “Financial Times” stated that it was “obvious” that Donald Trump could transfer American atomic warheads to another NATO countries. Duda expressed his willingness to make Poland 1 of specified countries.

On the another hand, Prime Minister Donald Tusk pointed out that Poland should look more courageously into the future of arms technology. He besides briefed France on the proposal to make a European atomic umbrella.

International reactions
U.S. Vice president JD Vance in consequence to president Duda's statements expressed uncertainty about Donald Trump's possible support for the deployment of atomic weapons in east Europe. Vance said he'd be amazed if Trump supported this step.

Public Debate: Domesticating the subject of atomic weapons
Krzysztof Bosak stressed that it was crucial to tame public opinion with the subject of atomic weapons. "What we should do erstwhile we open this debate is tame public opinion, both our own and international, with an ambition to participate in atomic weapons management – or possibly even gaining the power to produce it!"

Summary
The subject of atomic weapons in Poland is becoming increasingly interesting, both among politicians and society. Statements by Krzysztof Bosak, Andrzej Duda and Donald Tusk indicate that Poland can strive for greater engagement in atomic Sharing programmes and even to gain competence in the field of atomic technologies. However, as Bosak pointed out, it is essential to conduct a broad public debate and tame the public with this subject.
