As I watched President Zelenskyy's visit to Poland, I recalled how a few days earlier one of the old men who now leads the Muscovites, named Patrushev, had spoken about Poland's desire to "seize part of Ukraine."
This is not a new topic. They have been carrying around this idiotic concept since the beginning of their own troops' invasion of Ukraine. They dreamed of it so much that Ukraine's other neighbors would become criminals along with them, participating in the destruction of a sovereign state. They still dream about it, trying to "materialize" their thoughts in their own speeches.

They fail to understand, these crazy old men, that no one else in Europe thinks like this in the 21st century, and trying to conquer something is an indicator of stupidity and weakness, not "greatness."
Since the invasion, Zelenskyy has made a small number of foreign visits, all of which have been significant. To Washington, Brussels, and London. Now it's time to visit Warsaw, Ukraine's strategic partner among NATO member states. And this visit marks the crystallization and formalization of this partnership. It is no coincidence that a number of documents on defense partnership were signed.
A year ago, at a time of the most severe challenges for Ukraine's newest statehood, Poland provided assistance to Ukraine that was extremely important. But we must understand that this was fully in line with the interests of Poland itself.
Thanks to this cooperation, Ukraine: 1) received a protected rear, a place to repair equipment, a logistics center, and an army training base; 2) a safe place for refugees; and 3) a way to maintain economic relations with the world.
“And Poland has gained a lot from cooperation with Ukraine. Some of the results will be clear later. For example, in the form of a direct US military presence in Poland, or a reboot of the Polish defense industry”
But Poland has also gained a lot from cooperation with Ukraine. Some of the results will be clear later. For example, in the form of a direct US military presence in Poland, or a reboot of the Polish defense industry. Considerable reputational benefits are also important.
This is how normal states assert their importance in the twenty-first century. While archaic schizophrenics destroy everything, lose everything, and try to cling to a past that no longer exists and will never exist again.
