Polish foreign minister says country's alliance with US worthless

Polish foreign minister says country's alliance with US worthless Polish magazine says it has recordings of conversation in which Radek Sikorski says strong alliance with US 'harmful' Sikorski has been an outspoken critic of the Kremlin and has strongly criticised Russian actions in Ukraine this year. A Polish magazine said on Sunday it had obtained recordings of a conversation in which the country's foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, says the country's strong alliance with the US “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 naively believe the US bolsters their security. Using vulgar language, the person argues that such beliefs are nonsense, and that the Polish-US alliance alienates the Russians and Germans. There has been no official confirmation that it is Sikorski who speaks in the conversation.

America’s alliance with the US is useless while that is controlled by the Obama administration. And Poland is across a big ocean.

Unfortunately it is the conclusion that most foreign leaders have made. Currently American foreign policy is being made by a cabal of left wing, petulant graduate students with predictable outcomes.

How embarrassing to America, but the Poles deal with the world as it is, not as they wish it to be. I think Biden was just in Poland last week. His conduct was probably so weak and ridiculous, they were forced to reach this conclusion.

Sad to say, but he’s right. To Poland I would say you have my support but I’m just an average Pittsburgh Hunky who did not vote for Barky in the White Hut and I’m just as upset as Poland.

Yep. A couple of years ago the U.S. pressured Ukraine to give up some big weapons in exchange for the U.S. to help them fend off Russia if ever necessary. So much for that.

and is “even harmful because it creates a false sense of security”.

This is also the case with NATO. 28 nations with the theater of security, but no one (except the USA) actually spending anything on it

Any country that thinks that the United States will come to their defence while “The Kenyan” is President has a false sense of security.

He’s right. Hard to blame any foreign country for wanting to distance itself from Obama’s America. Between being an unreliable strategic partner, and having as its primary global agenda the promotion of faggotry, its easy to see America as being noxiously unwelcome.
