“You inactive have this Ukraine”, I heard late in a conversation with 1 of our Readers. There's actually something going on.
If you can summarize publications from our weekly magazine, the forums.info and tv The thought of Poland would turn out that almost half of them contact me or more straight the Ukrainian issue. However, this is not unreasonable.
The war in Ukraine has not cancelled the threats that have so far hung over our homeland and our nation. It did not destruct the problems of globalisation, the federalisation of the European Union, judaic property claims and tens of others. However, she introduced crucial confusion in the gradation of these problems, moving rapidly to the first place in the list. For all the threats mentioned by me just now (and many of those not mentioned) can have a significant, negative impact on the functioning of our country. His wealth, global position, even sovereignty.
However, this possible integration by Poland into the conflict that is going on outside our borders can easy bring us a military and political defeat. It can lead to a threat to the biological existence of the nation and to the failure of not only independency but besides territorial integrity of the state. This bringing the Ukrainians to permanent settlement in the Republic of Poland will destruct the monoethnicity of our country, bringing the nightmare of a multinational tiger from the mists of history. A nightmare of national conflicts, hatred, terror. This aiding of the fighting Ukraine, which has resulted from the strength and possible of our country, will shortly lead to the collapse of our finances. Not just the state's, but beautiful personal. It's already happening slowly.
So on the 1 hand we have old threats, on the another hand we have rather fresh ones. In view of the scale and touchability of the others, the first, nevertheless inactive real, appear to be small, even harmless. If, on the 1 hand, we place a threat to the biological existence of the nation on the 1 hand, and on the another hand only the failure of a fragment of sovereignty, the evaluation must be unambiguous. But it's not for everyone.
There are those, mainly in the camp of present power, but besides among those declaring themselves as nationalists, who see the main threat to our nation's existence straight beyond our western border. In fact, German imperialism, and later rematchism, for decades was 1 of the most serious threats hanging us by our country and nation. But is it still? – I seriously uncertainty it.
The essence of the modern dispute between the German and Polish elements was geopolitical issues. And the actual bone of discord was the Prussian state. Being the outlying edge of a German in the east, it determined its very existence of the German component in this direction. This Prussian state was an architect, but besides the main beneficiary of the partitions of Poland. It consistently took care that Poland was not reborn throughout generations. This was ironic, with the hands of the most "patriotic" among the "patriots", who were frequently prepared for the top madness out of pure folly. It is worth remembering, even on the occasion of the current anniversary of the outbreak of January.
The liquidation of the Prussian state as a consequence of political decisions that followed the Second planet War changed this geopolitical determinism. Although historical rematching continued in Germany for respective decades, it has clearly lost its importance since the 1980s. It is now entirely marginal. However, in times of large nationalism, the conflict and their false communicative were fought jointly by the Polish state and Poles on emigration. Today, however, fighting against German rematch is fighting windmills. The erstwhile powerful environments of the alleged "exiles" are present a social and political margin, lacking any real meaning.
Similarly, it is unreasonable to demonize the issue of German imperialism. Germany, despite its unification, remains a broken, politically independent state. Remaining de facto under American business (in Germany, there are presently more than 40,000 American soldiers) are not an independent entity in the global arena. Therefore, for decades they have been building their position through economical expansion (which they do effectively) and building a political position within the European national project. In this second aspect, they do not have full control. The European Union has become in fresh years, not so much a German policy instrument as an instrument of transnational globalist elites. So there is nothing to fight against German imperialism, in the classical sense of the word.
Of course, German imperialism can be reborn, it can become a threat in an unspecified future. However, it will not happen today, next day or the day after. We won this battle, it's time to halt fighting it.
So why fight German windmills? The ruling organization is needed to break political capital. The indication of a clear enemy is simply a textbook method of success in this matter. Especially if the ally is not only a hard story, but besides profoundly rooted stereotypes. It is harder to answer why this old cutlet is reheated by those who specify themselves as endecides. I don't know the answer to that question. However, if they do so due to the fact that specified alternatively than another positions towards Germany took place a 100 years ago Roman Dmowski...that means they didn't realize much from Dmowski.
