A Polish magazine said Sunday it has obtained recordings of a conversation in which Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski says the country’s strong alliance with the U.S. “isn’t worth anything” and is “even harmful because it creates a false sense of security.”

In a short transcript of the conversation, a person identified as Sikorski by the magazine Wprost tells former finance minister, Jacek Rostowski, that Poles naïvely believe the U.S. bolsters their security. Using vulgar language, the person argues that such beliefs are nonsense, and that the Polish-U.S. alliance alienates the Russians and Germans.

There has been no official confirmation that it is Sikorski who speaks in the conversation. …

In fact US was unreliable international partner before Obama. Opponent’s foreign ties are among the first targets in any election campaign.

In hindsight, and given the fact that the majority of voting public actually voted this POS in again, its accurate.

Given the question of (very) possible election fraud, I would guess that “the majority” were disenfranchised, which suits the left just fine. After all, it’s not those who vote that count, but those who count the votes.

Really !... I'd like to see an example..

I am under the impression we keep our word on the majority of our international agreements at least in the past 40 years..

I know we were not perfect by any stretch but can you cite an example as egregious as Obama's current untrustworthiness...

Our WH dictator is a Sunni Muslim plant financed with illegal funds from Foreign interests ( Saudis) .
When Barry bowed and kissed the Ring finger of the Saudi King in public that was an clear message to Arab would they controlled the WH. Plus
combined that with a white hating wife who is good friends with Louis Farrakahan and Rev Wright!
All black muslim radical leftist.
Our Obama media has been trying to cover this up for 6 years but Europeans are openly outing this trojan horse in
the WH..The Egyptians have openly outed him too.

Sunni terrorists marching on Bagdad has been Barry’s and Comrade Michelle’ plan all along.

Wrong title on report. It should read: Polish Minister Says US President Worthless.

If they’re looking for an excuse to break ties with the US, it’s beyond just antipathy towards Obama.

And if you don't think the new administration in Ukraine is guilty of ethnic cleansing, you're kidding yourself. Go back to the coup....and see what the first rule of law was....No Russian language allowed!!

So then not wanting Russian as a second state language is evidence of ethnic cleansing??

Unbelievable RT nonsense.

BTW Poroshenko is for protecting the use of the Russian language.

Yet we have a few pro Russians here who think Obama is on the side of Ukrainian independence.

Obama is only pretending to act regarding Russian invasion because even his Democrats demand that he acts tougher. I am sure he would ignore it if there would not be pressure from American people.

Located between Russia and Germany, the Poles can’t afford to depend on anyone else, especially Obama, to insure their security. Fortunately, their economy is strong, relative to the rest of the West, so they finally have the means to provide a strong defensive capability for themselves.

The Poles asked for a permanent military base after Russia invaded Ukraine. Obama ignored them.
