If Ukraine dies..

Indeed, our “politics” and “journalists” have accepted as the binding dogma thesis that if Ukraine loses, Poland will be next, and Russian troops will appear over the Vistula and then go to Europe. The foolishness of this kind of position is striking in the eyes, but no 1 has the courage to make it clear – you lie to sustain the fire of war in the East.

This “argument” is very eager to usage Volodymyr ZelenskiEspecially to us. For example, during a fresh visit to Poland, which was an open intervention in the presidential elections – “advised” to Karol Nawrocki He was preparing to take arms in his hand, due to the fact that if Ukraine loses, then the Russian invasion of Poland is certain. Very cleverly, war propaganda besides uses the “famous” prophecy of Lech Kaczyński: “First Georgia, then Ukraine, then Baltic countries, and yet my country Poland”. Interestingly, in order to justify its policy of uncritical, madly and unreasonably supporting Ukraine “to the end” (i.e. to its triumph over Russia) – to “authority” Lech Kaczyński The Civic Platform is besides eager to be established. A fewer days ago Donald Tusk, He said, "I want to emphasise it very strongly, Ukraine independent, sovereign, deciding its fates, is not only apparent historical justice, but besides This is simply a prerequisite for the safety of Poland and Europe as a whole". He added: "EU-Ukraine cooperation with the good finale of Ukraine's EU membership is part of a safety plan against Russian aggression. No 1 has the right to weaken Poland, Europe, Ukraine in any dimension, including Ukraine's accession to the EU. We are talking truly about Polish security. Who doesn't understand? He's either a fool or a traitorIt’s okay. ”

This stream of slogans and lies, false analogys – flows not only from Tusk's mouth, but besides from most politicians and journalists in Poland. For example Jacek Żakowski, presently editor of TOK FM Radio, a supporter of the most leftist theories and groups, a lover of the organization Together convinces that – as Jerzy Giedroć taught us – there is no free Poland without free Ukraine. This is simply a dogma, the unnegotiable fact – he argued. That Mr Żakowski did not realize anything from Giedroyć's message and does not know his last warnings before he dies – in a moment.

First of all, it must be made clear that the main thesis of the Polish message on this war is based on false assessment of its origins.. American realists, specified as John Mearsheimer. The war in Ukraine is not the consequence of a “Russian imperialism policy”, but of an irresponsible and provocative Western policy, consisting of gradual, step by step, shifting NATO's borders to the east, culminating in a pro-Western coup in Kiev in 2014. Despite warnings from many sensible Americans, American policy is the implementation of a “testament” Zbigniew Brzeziński – She was 1 large provocation of war. The transformation of Ukraine from a neutral state into Anti-Russia was its culmination and ended in war. In our case, however, it is widely believed that this war is simply a natural consequence of the eternal “Russian imperialism”, unreasonable and barbarous. The “proof” of this thesis is expected to be history, although from its analysis it is possible to draw, as the Cracow school did, Roman Dmowski, Aleksander Bocheński or fresh Andrzej Walicki and Bronisław Łagowski – completely different conclusions.

Another story comes to this – the Russian (Soviet) march on the conquest of Europe and the world, over the corpse of Poland, although it is possible to draw completely different conclusions from history. It was through Poland that all attempts to conquer it went to Russia – from Charles XII, through Napoleon, to Hitler. Meanwhile, there is not a single case of “the march of Russia to conquer Europe”, due to the fact that even the 1920 war with specified a march, contrary to our explanation of history, it was not. It is besides false to say that without Ukraine there will be no free Poland. On the contrary, it can be said that the existence of a strong and aggressive Ukraine conflicted with Russia, drawing us into war with it, is simply a threat to our independence.

This is astonishing, but our fans of war to the last Ukrainian do not really know the work of their “guru”, or Jerzy Giedroyć. On all occasion – erstwhile Poland uncritically supports the corrupt and building Ukrainian state on the flag base – architects of this policy mention it. He can no longer respond to it, but he is certain that if he were alive, he would curse his “believers.It’s okay. ” "Politics of Jerzy Giedroycia", "testament of Giedroycia", "political school of Giedroycia" – we have heard this almost all day over the last years. Jerzy Giedroć (1906-2000), The editor of the Paris Culture became an alibi for Polish east politics, for Caucasian and anti-Russian madness. The discussion was simple – “this is what Jerzy Giedroć left us.” Let's skip the simple fact that Giedroć was not any large political thinker in the Roman Dmowski style, but a writer and journalist. The thing is, in fact, his thoughts and views were in Poland after 1989 terribly distorted and manipulated. Just read the book “Giedroycia Tissues”, which is simply a evidence of editor's notes after 1989.

Here are only 3 selected problems. Let us quote: “I naturally want Russia itself to recover from the past and become a democratic country. But for me personally, the most crucial question is the normalization of Polish-Russian relations, and not only in the political aspect – these or another differences can always stay here, but in the aspect of cultural cooperation. It's always been very close to me. I started fighting communism before the war and continued to fight on emigration, but at the same time I was very close to Russian literature, who knows whether in a sense it was closer than Polish literature. What I'm most afraid of is all the booming nationalisms. I fear that the fight against Sovietism, against Sovietism, against communism should not become anti-Russian. Mass moods of this kind are highly dangerous and we should counteract them."

"The most crucial thing was not only to have a imagination of the future, but besides to gain the assurance of the russian Union. We inactive operate with phrases about the federation, about the Jagiellonian concept etc. It is forgotten that our east neighbors perceive specified concepts as a manifestation of Polish imperialism. Fear of Polish imperialism inactive exists even in Russia.”

"Today, all Jagiello concepts etc. are meaningless. The importance of Poland is that in the course of past it is simply a bridge between the East and the West, and that is felt at all step."

"The only worst thing is that erstwhile it comes to east policy, especially erstwhile it comes to Russia, Ukraine or the Baltic countries, here for us is the United States policy. Sometimes it seems that there is no policy of independent Poland, that we are vassals of the United States."

"As far as our relation with Russia is concerned, there is simply quite a few talk about it, and it does virtually nothing. On the contrary, various actions are multiplying not very necessary, but annoying, specified as the Chechnya case. It is understandable that our society looks with sympathy at the heroic conflict of this tiny nation for its independence, but it is simply a humanitarian matter. However, it is not appropriate to engage in these matters, specified as maintaining Chechen representations in Poland, sending observers, etc. Naturally, it can be said that the government does not do this, but let's say the president of Krakow or another voivode, but it is never explicitly condemned by the government. abroad policy should lead to these factors, specified as the president of Poland, the government or parliament, but surely not the voivodes. It is besides unacceptable that e.g. the sluice voivode conduct talks on the Kaliningrad motorway to Belarus and Russia or on the voivode in Przemyśl conducting its own policy on Ukrainian issues".

Of course, Giedroć was attached to his ideas of primates, specified as supporting Ukraine and Lithuania, but – as you can see – Polish politics on these episodes saw somewhat different than those who inactive invoke him. Firstly, he did not want it to be anti-Russian by definition, secondly, to be devoid of the accents of "Jagielloński" and megalomański, thirdly, he considered almost as crucial the normalization of Polish-Russian relations, yet he warned against the complete dependence of Polish policy on Western directives, especially the US. He would not accept the transformation of Ukraine into a state based on the foundations of utmost flagism, he would most likely consider specified countries as anti-Ukrainian by definition. I am certain that present Giedroć would consider Polish politics towards Ukraine and war to be madness and those who claim to be fools.
