Speaker of the home of Representatives Mike Johnson continues to block the vote of 60 billion aid to Ukraine. Donald Trump publically declares that he is simply a supporter of American isolationism and, in fact, his return to the Cold War system, where the boundary of interests between the West and East ran through Berlin, replies. "Let Russia do what it wants with you," Trump said, addressing countries that inactive spend little on military safety than agreed 2 percent of GDP.
Donald Tusk has been convinced for weeks that it is worth believing these declarations and to realize that the script in which the Ukrainian defence is discontinued and the Russian army marches on Estonia, Poland, Lithuania and Berlin is not unrealistic. Andrzej Duda says the same thing about this case. In Washington, he recalled that Putin was erstwhile a KGB officer in Dresden, and that's where his imperial imagination can reach.
Subsequent statements French president Macron, Chancellor Scholz or Minister Sikorski about the presence of NATO soldiers in Ukraine, the resurrection of the Weimar Triangle or VisegradTo shake up Europe's societies. due to the fact that erstwhile Ukraine did not collapse in a week, contrary to predictions, they took care of the dreams of investing in its reconstruction, although it was dividing the skin on a bear. Russia plans to make a 1.5 million army, invests in armaments, leads active spy activities In the Union, it has its allies, who, like Pope Francis and Viktor Orban, recognise the law of the stronger and insist that peace will be erstwhile we all accept it and halt helping Ukraine.
Under these circumstances, Donald Tusk and Andrzej Duda visited the president of the United States. Not only as envoys from Poland, but as – especially in the case of Donald Tusk – as representatives of the European Union. It is hard to be amazed that it is commented on as “rescue” and that it has hopes. Following Trump's ominous promises from Biden's mouth, it was assured that Article V of NATO applies that we are together strong that America does not leave Europe.
Donald Tusk addressed Mike Johnson directly, saying that he was the 1 holding the destiny of thousands women and childrenEven the destiny of the world. due to the fact that if Ukraine doesn't halt on it, Russia will go to Europe.
Andrzej Duda raised the stakes and proposed that NATO members should allocate to defence, not 2 percent of GDP, marking somewhat the differences between themselves and Donald Tuski. Or differences in the diplomatic workshop. due to the fact that the journey was carefully planned, there was no surprise – possibly in addition to this proposal, which met with a average reaction. due to the fact that Biden doesn't want to bid. He wants to show that Poland, which lies in the American "zone of interest", pays off to Americans. That success is close and the price is not besides high.
Because the Union has its agenda, and Biden has his own agenda, and it was on Tuesday 12 March that he secured himself a nomination as a candidate for the presidential office of his party. Like Donald Trump of his – at the same time Prime Minister Orban came to visit him.
The fact that Biden as an example pointed out Poland is due to our geographical location, interior political changes and Poland's loyalty to America. possibly he predicts that the elections will be for razor blades and at the same time the appreciation of the Prime Minister and the president and the function of Poland in global agreements will strengthen the American Polonia, the majority of which supported him in erstwhile elections.
The border with Belarus and Kaliningrad is simply a full of 628 km, and if Russia had defeated Ukraine, the dimension of the border between the West and the East in Poland would have been almost 1,200 km. Defending specified a long line from an aggressive neighbour requires immense money. 2 billion loans for arms is an interesting proposal now that Ukraine is fighting. If Russia wins, it won't be enough, and it's not known if the investment would pay off.
Now it pays to give Poland 2 billion loans for military equipment, which we would buy from them, including 96 Apache helicopters, which were referred to by the erstwhile government and Mariusz Błaszczak. Plus an investment in nuclear power plant. It all shows that the empire does not shrink, business does not roll. On the contrary, they flourish, and they have already had 25 years of cooperation within NATO and Poland's loyalty to America under this pact, which gives good prospects for the future.
A visit by the Prime Minister and the president from various political camps – whose axis of division all day looks just like in the US, or populism versus democracy – and the fact that they talk with 1 voice on Ukraine is an example for Americans that there are priorities that should stand above organization interests.
The 3rd thing is loyalty. The Empire is not right to abandon loyal allies – it can remind Americans on a symbolic level of pride from the feeling that they have the influence that others number on them to wait, admire. Listening to Trump, you can forget those intangible benefits. Americans are to feel that yes, they are investing, but they do not sacrifice themselves for Europe, so there were no assurances about sending "American boys" to Poland. That the empire has not yet rolled up, has not bent, has not closed – but that they do not overpay for their position.
I was amazed not to be asked about Gaza. Yet this issue is connected to the issue of Ukraine. Netanjahu late declared that Russia is an enemy state and is willing to treat it so if he has free hands in Gaza.
They afraid any of the statements concerning Ukraine. Appellates to talker Johnson may have embarrassed any of the more delicate Republican voters who do not want to have “thousand women and children” on their consciences. However, there was no mention of Ukraine joining NATO, although Stoltenberg spoke of specified plans last year. Now Donald Tusk has stated that this option is not on the table, that possibly someday, but it is very uncertain. It is hard to say whether it wants to “treat” Russia or to make hope for the Ukrainians, due to the fact that these 60 billion have no and determination to aid Ukraine is inactive missing, too. Perhaps, then, what Tusk is now seeking is the certainty that even if Ukraine falls, Poland will not abruptly be on the another side of the wall and will stay in the western region of interest. And that's what Biden and I were trying to show.
