Celeste Wallander, an advisor to the U.S. Secretary of defence for global Security, said about Poland. Each specified message causes waves bordering on the orgasm of the applause of Polish-language media, especially those akin to the organization presently ruling over the Vistula River.
Wallander, although from the academic world, is 1 of the most expressive representatives of alleged straussists in the administration Joe Bidena. The key public figure of this most pro-war environment overseas is Victoria Nuland. The 1 who gave cookies to Ukrainians on Kiev Maidan in 2014. And the 1 who, after they ate the cookies, gave them war and destruction.
Wallander praises the authorities in Warsaw due to the fact that they aid its political environment to accomplish the goals of the pro-war faction in Washington. They're actually their tool. That you're not smart or sometimes dumb? Well, for the straussists, all the better. All it takes is trinkets, any complemance spoken in public, patting on the back, a common photograph taken somewhere in the flyover. The foundation of Polish abroad policy is rotten, and for respective reasons it can only disgust.
Discussions are natural, or at least should be. This means that in the Polish public space as much as possible they have the right to vote supporters of Atlantism, even the most utmost and perceived by realists as irrational. The problem is that Polish abroad policy has been completely misappropriated by them, and all another currents of reasoning about it are already not only silenced, but even penalized. After all, the global orientation of Poland depends solely on the conclusions which we can scope in calm, thoughtful discussions and factual arguments. That's the kind of condition that gives emergence to the thought. The thought, which in the intellectual cloac of III of Poland completely disappeared.

However, let us return to Wallander and her akin ladies and gentlemen from behind the large Waters giving trinkets and bibliotes to the Polish political class. The Pentagon authoritative says plainly: Polish authorities are the most faithful “soul” of the United States on the Old Continent. Her and akin words are changed by another Polish politicians and publicists. Another plastic trinket for their, so rich collection of tacky toys and kitschy orders. Although the most precious gifts were donated by American presidents – Donald Trump telling in Warsaw about the stupidest of Polish uprisings, or Joe Biden having a fun time to trot at the Royal Castle in Warsaw. Our national admirers of trinkets and trinkets from overseas are undoubtedly intellectual aberrations on at least a European scale.
But that's not all. It is besides about dignity, so frequently mentioned by professed supporters of “the emergence of Poland from its knees.” The reactions of the Polish establishment to subsequent statements of representatives of the American administration from a purely aesthetic point of view may be highly disgusted. Like Erich Honecker's legendary kisses with Leonid Brezhniev, or equally untasteful embraces of Polish and Ukrainian presidents in fresh months. – You are our most faithful servants, the footstools of Washington, a dirty rag of the American war organization in Europe – we seem to be speaking between the poems of the dussers another guests from across the Atlantic. – But you are “strong and helpful” – as Wallander said recently. What? And at these words, the Polish political class jumps with joy, dances and makes fickles towards the abyss. With large joy, he drives us into the abyss of war.
The political class in many countries frequently made suicide decisions for money – it's just corruption, a practice that can inactive be understood, although highly unethical. It may besides be that the weaker side endures further humiliation, preparing quietly for emancipation from alien domination. It's realism. It besides happens – despite appearances, very seldom – that the decision-makers follow closely any ideology, forgetting rational calculation. However, to the annals of past the attitude of the Polish political class willing to agree to the abolition of their own statehood and risking the existence of the nation for trinkets and compliments from the war organization from a distant country.
