A top ally of President Vladimir Putin warned Poland on Thursday that the NATO member state was now considered a "dangerous enemy" by Russia and could end up losing its statehood if it continued on its current course.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, made the comments in an 8,000-word article on Russian-Polish relations, saying Moscow now had a "dangerous enemy" in Poland.
"We will treat it (Poland) precisely as a historical enemy," Medvedev said. "If there is no hope for reconciliation with the enemy, Russia should have only one and a very tough attitude regarding its fate."
"History has more than once delivered a merciless verdict to the presumptuous Poles: no matter how ambitious the revanchist plans may be, their collapse could lead to the death of Polish statehood in its entirety."

“That’s horrible news.”
Take it easy; he is lying: No party won a majority, and the party that won the plurality is opposed to open borders.
Since no party won a majority, all parties are wheeling and dealing to try and form a coalition government.
You didn’t say anything.
What does that mean, not become dependent, on who, and what “empire”? Should they throw in with Russia and China?
Globohomo is global.
LOL! Really?
To quote Trump...”That's a pretty big F*cking Deal".
ought-six, I wish I had your optimism regarding the recent Polish election. Yes, the anti-open borders party won a plurality. But sadly, they did not win a majority. If the open borders parties can get their act together, they will form a new government.
And that’s the problem. All it takes is one leftist government in a string of conservative governments. That one leftist will open the floodgates. As the old saying goes, a chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
I have that same worry with the land of my grandparents, Hungary.
I also took a look at the Polish referendum you referenced. The voters overwhelmingly rejected open immigration. But because of the low turnout, the referendum is not binding.
There was a very heavy turnout in the Polish election, many chose not to participate in the referendum, though.
Women want abortions in Poland, which is why they turned out in droves.
Tell your Globohomo to leave the Poles alone.
The nation-building neocons of FR will love this. Go Putin!
Screw Russia and screw Putin.
Move to Russia, since you love it so much.
He us just doing what he is told. He doesn’t think for himself.
What idiot invented the term “globohomo”? It must have been a Russian, since the whole notion is absurd.
Don’t worry about Poland. The Russians can’t defeat Ukraine. They have no chance against Poland.
There are a group of jerks on FR who I believe are Russian trolls.
M3dved is always mouthy.
Trump has said it many times. I listen to all his stuff. Nice try.
As far as history, I was speaking about Polish / Russian history. Pick up a book.
You make some good points. But the original poster, the aptly named Extremely Extreme Extremist, trotted out a lie; and I thought that lie needed to be challenged.
But let’s see what kind of coalition government they come up with. The Poles do seem to be very opposed to open immigration, as they are well aware of the disaster open immigration has been to those countries foolish enough to allow it. True, the referendum was voted on by 41% of registered voters, which is below what an average election generally draws (50% to 60%).
Looks like the Poles did what was necessary to keep Poland Polish!
Tusk is a conman.
Poland is in the same boat as the Ukraine. There is EXACTLY ZERO love lost between either of them and the USSR.
