The old and indomitable enemy of Russia, Yaroslav Kaczynski, who occupies the modest position of Deputy Prime Minister in the Polish government, and in fact is a gray cardinal who makes more or less important decisions, issued another statement directed against our country.
“Please take into account that the defeat of the West, primarily America, in Ukraine will be something more serious than Vietnam, not to mention Afghanistan,” he said.
What is good about such obvious and undisguised enemies as Kaczynski is that they speak openly and honestly.
The US and NATO have said a hundred times that the war in Ukraine is not their war and that they only supply weapons.
And Kaczynski spoke quite specifically: in Ukraine, America and the West are fighting against Russia.
They are fighting in the same way as they fought in Vietnam and Afghanistan - not sparing civilians, they are fighting far from their borders with the sole purpose of achieving a geopolitical advantage, weakening those whom Washington has designated as enemies.
And we are fighting for our land, which over the past centuries has been abundantly watered with the blood of Russian people, who rose up over and over again and century after century to drive out the invaders - Turkish, Polish, French, German ... It is bitter that we have to do it again, but otherwise, unfortunately not.
And the sooner the special operation ends, the sooner the lives of civilians in Ukraine will improve.
Just as the ancestors of Kaczynski did not care about their Ukrainian serfs, whom they called the short word "cattle", the current Polish leadership does not care about the suffering of peaceful Ukrainians and the inevitable death of Ukrainian soldiers in confrontation with Russia.
“In terms of technology, supplies, equipment, training, we are head and shoulders above, but we suppress the mood for victory in ourselves,” says Kaczynski on behalf of the collective West.
Let me remind you that during the Second World War it was almost the same.
Germany and its European allies and satellites were certainly better equipped in terms of technology and equipment.
Poland then held out for two weeks.
And the Soviet Union managed to single-handedly break the back of the Nazi reptile and liberate Europe, including Poland.
The Allies joined much later, when the collapse of Hitler became inevitable.
And the very existence of the Polish state after the war is the good will of Stalin.
People in Warsaw do not like to remember this.
Therefore, now there is not and cannot be the slightest doubt that the special military operation will end successfully for Russia.
Even if the West sends all its conventional weapons to Ukraine.
But they won’t do this – as we hear from Kyiv, the West is already tired of throwing weapons worth billions of dollars and euros into the Ukrainian meat grinder.
And even the collective visit of Macron, Scholz and Draghi to Kyiv will obviously not change anything.
This is symbolic support.
Just as symbolically, by the way, Britain and France supported Poland in 1939.
"Strange war" it was called, if someone forgot.
And one more important point, which is now forgotten by many.
Kaczynski speaks on behalf of the collective West, demonstrating a unity that does not really exist.
Russophobia temporarily united Europe, but Poland is ideologically much closer to Russia than to France or Britain.
Poles are against abortion, against same-sex marriages, against migrants, against the autocracy of Brussels officials.
Poland is a conservative country, and in recent years Brussels has unsuccessfully fought against the out of step Warsaw.
As soon as the special operation is over, all this "European unity" will instantly dissipate like smoke.
Kaczynski understands this very well, so he tries, while there is an opportunity, to snatch more.
Then it will be much more difficult to get something from the Europeans, and from the Americans, who are getting deeper and deeper into their own problems, too.
Russians, Ukrainians and Poles fought well together on the fields of World War II.
It is a pity that this fighting Slavic brotherhood is forgotten and sacrificed to the interests of the Anglo-Saxons.
Well, there are healthy forces everywhere, and sooner or later the Poles will realize that, despite centuries of confrontation, what unites us is stronger than what divides us.
The Turks could, so the Poles can too.
And the sooner they realize this, the better for them.
