WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Poland's former president Lech Walesa, a democracy hero, has been hospitalized with heart problems in his Baltic coast home city of Gdansk, his son said Saturday. Jaroslaw Walesa told The Associated Press via text message that his father was feeling "unfortunately weak." It was not immediately known when he could be discharged from the heart diseases ward of the Gdansk University Clinic.

Prayers for a Great Man
He made his mark in history.
I think Lech is ready.
bump!
He’s 73. Prayers up for Lech Walesa.
I hope LECH WALESA was able to watch the warm reception by the POLISH PEOPLE to the POTUS & FLOTUS, as well as, PRESIDENT TRUMP’S promise to stand with POLAND.
I was very impressed he showed up at Trump’s speech.
That must have been quite an effort for him.
Indeed.
Oddly enough Henry Kissinger, sowed the seeds of destruction of the Soviet Union via detente. He in effect said what is yours is yours and what is ours is ours but insisted on the free flow of information and travel uncensored to the Eastern Block. I thought he was a fool, I was wrong.
This started the rebellion and Lech Walesa
Pope John Paul, Margret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan ended it without firing one bullet in anger. The Saudis were also part of the destruction of the Soviet Union. The old Soviet Union as present day Russia is an economic basket case. Their economy is mostly dependent on oil exports. The Saudis at the behest of George Bush senior pumped oil as fast as they could although it was detrimental their economy. They had many billions in the bank. The old Soviet Union collapsed economically. Eastern Europe became fee.
Relative to George Bush senior and Clinton and to a certain extent George Bush junior they were idiots. When the Soviet Union Collapsed they deemed them not of importance. This was a horrible error. At this point we should have reached out to them to incorporate them into a non aggressive state. We did not.
It is odd, although the Russia of today is economically far less than France by half they have a front seat on the world stage. They have this position due to nuclear power just as we The West have.
Though economical weak the Russia of today is militarily strong in nuclear forces. They are easily defeated if we keep our conventional forces strong. Neither side wants to risk nuclear war.
We can destroy them due to our economic might. We do not need to fire one bullet so long as our conventional forces are strong. Our nuclear forces can destroy them as theirs can destroy us. Neither side wants this.
ps
Today we can do to Russia what the Saudis did to the old Soviet Union. We are sitting on vast reserves of shale oil. Today oil closed at $44.33 dollars a barrel. That is because of our shale oil. We can destroy Russia economically via our shale oil.
HE saw the Second Coming of Reagan and now can lay his burden down
Prayers for him.
