The truth of the matter is Poland, a weak nation in the middle of two pwerful ones (Russia, Germany) does what it has always done, seek allies. In the last century that ally was the UK and France. Since those nations are compromised with the EU (and not in a position to challenge Germany) the Poles have gone even further West to America.
Napoleon said a nation's foreign policy is determined by it's geography. In Poland's case that means seeking allies against the influence of Russia and Germany.
No love involved. No stupid Old and New Europe categories.
Freeper's do know that the majority of "new" European countries (like Poland) are ruled by the reformed communist parties that were in power during the Cold War, don't they?
