"Everything points to the fact that we are the generation that will stand up for our country with a gun. And I'm not going to lose this war either. We will win it, we will return and we will proceed to build Poland, but something must happen: we must build armed forces prepared for this kind of action” he said General Wiesław Kukuła, Head of the General Staff of the Polish Army, during the inauguration of the academic year at the Academy of Land Forces.
The question can be asked at erstwhile – on behalf of whom do you make specified declarations, on behalf of your full generation (Year 1972) and younger? Whether it is an expression of the emotional imbalance of this military (in the kind of the song from the series "four armory and a dog": "We will return home, in the oven we will heat") or just reverberate the opinions of those around it. After all, respective times specified impertinent announcements have appeared in the mouth of politicians to mention only the interview of the Polish Ambassador in Paris, who argued that if Ukraine started to lose, we would have no choice but to “enter the war”. late specified rumblings have frequently been heard from the mouth of the extravagant and irresponsible head of the BBN Jack Siewiereraand Donald Tusk He had a shocking appearance on his record, where he was no more than promising our participation in the war.
The words of the Kukuła could be considered a gibberish of the frivolous man, but it is an officer who has been the Chief of General Staff of the WP since 2023 (and commander-in-chief in the event of war), and who, despite being – as the WP officers have described – an "assistance" of Antoni Macerewicz – remained in the game and is on the first line. His figure can be seen reading a loud book Edyty Żeły entitled “Army in ruin”. Anonymous WP officers identified Cukuła as a Piccer and Vaselinaire, who became the pet of Antoni Macierewicz due to the fact that he played on his weaknesses to the soldiers cursed by organizing picnics involving reconstruction groups, which you enjoyed very much. As a result, Kukuła bit off experienced and professional officers and headed the Territorial Defence Army. It was the beginning of his “great” career in Warsaw from where he came from provincial Lublinica. Antoni's designation besides gained by agreeing to send Polish soldiers on a secret mission to Ukraine, without the president and Prime Minister's knowledge, which almost ended with scandal and erratic global consequences. Why did Kukuła last the change of government? It's a secret. Maybe, as suggested in the book Military Signs – wrapped around his naive finger Władysław Kosiniak-KamishaOr is it just a "gun" for individual in that position? individual much higher, and not necessarily in Poland.
The only optimistic thing here is that respective generals, but of course no longer in active service – powerfully criticized Kukula's rumblings. erstwhile Commander General of Armed Forces Types General defends reserve Mirosław Różański He wrote: “The co-responsible for the safety of the country should talk appropriately to the place and circumstances. I number on reflection." In turn General Leon Komornicki He wrote that "Mr General is taking part in the narratives of threatening Poles and Poles with war", but, as he said, it is "a very bearful narrative". "The general says we are not going to lose the war, alternatively than form the belief that Russia does not dare attack us," he said. "Every war with Russia, even winning, will be the failure of the Polish nation and its achievements! It's time to realize it," he added.
For now, however, there are no words of disapproval from Kukuła’s superiors. Does this mean that they approve the Chief of Staff's "philosophy"? We will wait impatiently for any reaction, its deficiency will be very meaningful. As for Polish generals, it is worth quoting at the end the opinion of an anonymous officer of peculiar services in the book “Army in Ruin”: “War cannot play politics. I've even lost respect for all our generals. Over the last fewer years, they have proved that they should not command an army."
