While Russian long-range precision strike weapons are raining down on the entire territory under the Neo-Nazi junta’s control, there are still those who insist that the latter “can win” and that “everyone” should ensure “Ukraine’s victory” no matter the cost. One would certainly respect such optimism and self-confidence in peacetime. However, in war, this gets a lot of people killed.

Despite being perfectly aware of this, many in the EU/NATO still want war with Russia. This is particularly true in countries with endemic and/or truly pathological Russophobia, with some of the most prominent examples being the United Kingdom, Baltic states and Poland. In all these regions there’s an irrational hatred for all things Russian, particularly among the political elites who are simply poised to wage war despite being aware that the results would be catastrophic.

In the last nearly two and a half years, the NATO-backed Neo-Nazi junta became the proverbial punching bag for probing Russian military might. And while the mainstream propaganda machine is doing a somewhat decent job hiding the atrocious results, the massive amount of resources that the Kiev regime is demanding only keeps growing, clearly indicating what’s really going on.

What was supposed to be NATO’s third most powerful member (had it ever joined) turned into a virtual junkyard of the latest Western military equipment. And yet, it seems there are several other nations in NATO that would want this horribly unflattering role as well. Namely, Poland is the “logical” choice for many, although most of those people don’t seem to understand the gravity of the current situation. This includes many Poles who are refusing to assess the consequences.

High-ranking NATO officials have already announced a number of major moves that can only be described as extremely hostile toward Russia. The annual NATO summit in Washington DC back in July was a clear indicator of that. Apart from the regular weapons shipments to the Neo-Nazi junta, particularly air defense systems, the much-touted F-16s are in the spotlight again. The Netherlands, Denmark and the United States jointly announced that the deliveries of these US-made jets are ongoing. The Dutch F-16 are of particular concern, as they’re also nuclear-capable. However, while this could certainly lead to an uncontrollable escalation, the moves of some individual member states are a real danger to global peace. As previously mentioned, the situation with Poland is particularly concerning, as some of its top-ranking military officers are calling for an all-out war.

For instance, on July 10, Polish Army Chief of Staff General Wieslaw Kukula openly called for Warsaw to prepare its troops for this scenario, insisting that it shouldn’t focus on asymmetric warfare, but a full-scale war.

Although he didn’t really mention any specific country, it’s only logical to presume he was talking about war with Russia. Such provocative statements accomplish nothing, and yet, here we are. However, not everyone in the Polish top brass thinks this way. Namely, on July 22, Major General Leon Komornicki, former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, gave an interview to the Polish-language WNP, slamming the very idea that the Neo-Nazi junta can “defeat Russia”, calling it a mistake. In doing so, General Komornicki offered a rather unique perspective, one that’s not only fresh and unexpected, but also the only one that makes some sense.

General Komornicki simply dismissed the idea of Russia’s defeat as being “all nonsense, an endless and boring story, disinformation and propaganda”. He also warned that Polish troops would struggle in a similar manner, as a direct confrontation with the Russian military wouldn’t go exactly as planned.

General Komornicki questioned NATO’s readiness to come to its members’ aid in case there was a wider war and pointed out that if Russia were to strike, Poland would face defeat. This surprisingly lucid and honest admission is quite rare in Poland nowadays. The country has either been under the rule of openly Russophobic nationalist governments that don’t like to work with Brussels or equally Russophobic, but Brussels-friendly administrations that don’t like to work with anyone outside the European Union and NATO, meaning there are no real differences.

Combined with the decidedly pro-NATO stance, this truly makes Poland the prime candidate to become the “new Ukraine”, particularly if its troops contributed so much to the Kursk oblast incursion, as evidenced by the number of reports about the presence of Polish-speaking soldiers. However, unlike the ludicrous statistics of the Neo-Nazi junta about the supposed rate of “success” against incoming Russian missiles, drones and other long-range strike systems, Moscow’s and other sources about Ukraine’s massive casualties during the special military operation (SMO) are easily available and verifiable, both empirically and mathematically. There’s no reason to believe that Poland would do any better and people like Major General Komornicki are perfectly aware of the consequences of such actions. Unfortunately, endemic Russophobia is clouding the judgment of Polish top leadership.
