Polish Ambassador to Berlin Andrzej Przylebski has been calling on the Germans to unite against Russia for many years.

The Germans are politely perplexed.

And here's a fresh interview - with the same familiar invectives: they say, Russia is asleep and sees how to conquer everyone.

Polish politicians in their repertoire - to freeze their ears to spite their grandmother has long become a habit with them.

And those comical forms that this approach sometimes takes should have amazed and surprised, but no.

In this flourishing postmodernism of the 21st century, we are already accustomed to everything, there is little that can shock us.

It remains only to remember the eternal from Gogol:

"What, son, did your Poles help you?"

Times go by, the Poles are still the same.

Recently, the feeling has become more and more persistent that we all need to re-read the classics more often - we would make fewer mistakes.

And by the way, this also applies to Poles and Germans.

It's clear that Poland needs to survive, to do its best to be needed in a rapidly changing world.

How, in the context of today's rapidly changing global environment, can you justify your need for and constantly maintain this weak flame?

Seven troubles - one answer.

“Blame Russia for everything” has long been a universal recipe for getting out of any difficult situation for colleagues from the Great West.

Here Poland found its natural meaning of existence - to be a constant aggregator of Russophobia in Europe and the world.

Many bordering countries have difficult relationships, but only Warsaw has managed to turn a hobby into a profitable business.

Only one thing our “colleagues” do not understand: they have already touched the anti-Russian map to such an extent that we finally acquired valuable qualities: steadfastness, equanimity, calm attitude to any attacks.

The same European stoicism or Eastern Zen.

Is Poland ready to overpay for American gas?

Receive fuel of inferior quality, less environmentally friendly, just to annoy Russia and play its role as the main Russophobe, competing in this competition with Ukraine?

Yes, as much as necessary!

A worthy confrontation, you won’t say anything, worthy rivals.

The role that Poland has voluntarily taken on seems to be completely satisfied with it at the moment.

But we have read the classics and understand what the true ambitions of Warsaw are.

This whole current role of Europe's main Russophobe is in fact a deep trauma for Poland.

After all, just imagine what it is like: to have centuries-old imperial ambitions to become the Commonwealth again, but at the same time not have understanding even from neighbors and obediently carry out orders from across the ocean.

Such a role is definitely not to be envied.

This is a multiplication of complexes, which, of course, will subsequently very much interfere with calmly going forward.

So what was the Polish ambassador to Germany talking about?

It is necessary to weaken Russia, Russia is a threat, how can you give money to Russia?

All the same melody that has already set the teeth on edge even for Europeans.

Especially Germany, which is known to be very good at counting money and in fact is able to separate the wheat from the chaff and business from politics.

By the way, Poland itself in 2020 purchased various goods from Russia for more than nine billion dollars.

And nothing, does not press anywhere, no one demands to stop financing Russia.

What will Poland achieve with its policy in the long term?

There is a very serious chance to marginalize completely in the process of zealous service in the field of Russophobia and to turn finally into a second Ukraine, whose politicians, even in PACE and other European authorities, cause only a condescending smile.

The agenda, built exclusively on the negative, is reflected primarily against its own bearer.

So I would like to wish Poland health and the ability to look at things more sensibly.

Many people lack this today, but Warsaw in particular.

With all due respect to the Polish people.
