I can understand Polish sensitivity toward Russia - but I don’t think Russia has any designs on them.
Has Russia taken parts of Georgia and the Ukraine? Yes. After the election of very liberal governments (and the para-legal overthrow of a pro Russian president) sections of both countries, that were majority Russian (an unfortunate reality), wanted to realign. I dare say we would do the same thing if parts of northern Mexico were little Americas and decided they wanted to throw off the cartel otherwise known as the Mexican government and join as states.
So far Russian expansion in the region is at least somewhat justifiable. Attacking Poland would start WWIII and Putin isn’t going there. I don’t think, based on watching many many of his speeches, he would have any interest in going there even if there were no consequences from NATO.
So IMO we need to be realigning with Poland and Russia - and bring them into a coalition with other regional nations (those not intent on committing cultural suicide).
