Poland is a remarkable country with excellent leaders. Having been trampled on by russia and the nazis then betrayed by the uk they are very wise. A good presentation.
Sikorski is the best European Minister of Foreign Affairs in EU. He is the tough guy and he should have been the General Secretary of NATO after Stoltenberg.
Incredibly brilliant mind and wise diplomatic finesse. I agree that the incoming NATO Secretary General should have come from either Poland or the Baltic States.
According to a European official who was present at the Extraordinary Summit of NATO Heads of State and Government on 24 March 2022, Polish President Andrzej Duda dramatically railed against the peace deal with Russia negotiated in March 2022: “Leaders in Poland - early and strong supporters of Ukraine - feared that Germany or France might try to persuade the Ukrainians to accept Russia’s terms, according to a European diplomat, and wanted to prevent that from happening. To that end, when Poland’s president, Andrzej Duda, met with NATO leaders in Brussels on March 24, he held up the March 17 text, said the diplomat, who was present. ‘Which of you would sign it?’ Mr. Duda asked his counterparts, the diplomat said. None of the NATO leaders spoke up.”
The Sikorsky conversation is interesting on future NATO membership for Ukraine. Hard to see that the present ‘Ukraine is on course towards membership’ (at some unspecified future date) position - which stops short of saying Ukraine is going to be admitted- benefits anyone. It certainly makes it harder to visualise what the end point to the war would look like. Is that what is going on? An endless but contained war agenda? The US seems to think holding out the NATO carrot 🥕 is important, an incentive to keep Ukraine fighting, but it doesn’t want the dangers that full NATO membership would bring.
Ukraine needs to win and rebuild to even think about getting in to the treaty. There's no deceit here, I think it's honesty and everyone who follows experts sees it. Those are mainstream media hot takes.
@@vaultsuit Not here in the UK they're not - our MSM is in lockstep with the Biden administration on Ukraine. But isn't 'Ukraine needs to win' another eg of intentional vagueness, like the NATO membership position? Its v hard to visualise - winning as in keeping their independence from Russia, maybe, but winning all their territory back? Isn't going to happen. Given the negative impact the conflict continues to have on our economy (soaring energy prices, rearmament costs) I think its reasonable to want a little more definition than we're currently being given.
@@andywhite960moim zdaniem wszyscy czekają na to co sie stanie w US - od tych wyborów bedzie zależała przyszłosc Ukrainy. Ponieważ nie da sie przewidziec stanowiska Trumpa, wiec ciężko składać wiążące deklaracje...
No reference to Trump. If he is elected for a second term, Poland, NATO, and the EU's strategy to defeat Russia will go down the drain. Trump will leave NATO and force Ukraine into a peace agreement with Russia.
It's different to say it, much more difficult to do it- Trump won't leave NATO. It's his form of pressurizing and enforcing EU to start spending for war and let US to have money back for Ukrainian support. Trump is calculating and despising Europeans left wing leaders.
He is painfully aware of that and he knows exactly what Trump is, however he is Minister of Foreign Affairs. He has stated multiple times he would not give his opinion (until he resigns) because Poland does not intefere with elections of its allies.
He was always like that... Even when he was a foreign minister for the first time between 2007-2014. He even debated Kissinger with that kind of confidence 12 years ago 😂
@@monikagarnys4077it's not even bias it's simply beeing realistic. Russia has been threatening and attacking everyone in their vincinity for years (look Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine... ) and now they openly talk about attacking the Baltic states and Poland. It would be greatly irresponsible not to take it seriously.
@@polishenglishnorwegiandutch As part of my work went to Moscow several times during his previous tenure as a minister and can testify that Law and Justice was the most hated Polish political party by Russian propaganda. Sikorski and Tusk were Putin's buddies with whom he was doing dirty deals.
You lie and do it absurdly, taking into account the biography of Sikorski (including his fight against the Russians in Afghanistan in the 1980s) or a very strong protest of his political group against Germany's gas deals with Russia. With your fakes, go to Russians or old grandmothers with dementia, who support the Law and Justice the most (by the way, during the government of your beloved party, Poland, instead of reducing the import of coal from Russia, began to increase it very quickly) .
That's a blatant lie. 1. He literally fought against Russia. 2. US officials desribed him as "russophobic", that's how stern about Russia he was. 3. Wikileaks documents show he saw Putin and Russia as a big threat to Balts and Europe. Meanwhile Law and Justice party won election THANKS TO Russian interference, did everything they could to weaken Poland's role and position in UE. Law and Justice support AfD, Le Pen and Orban is their biggest ally. That's how 'anti-Russia' they are /s.
Biden said if Russia attacked Ukraine he would blow up the pipeline, and he did. Sikorski thanked the USA for this in the media. Putin himself wouldn't blow up his gas pipeline.
