I wouldn't be surprised if there was some dirty dealing going on behind closed doors, if you know what I mean. I don't think any election anywhere has ever been as iron clad as we like to think, but post 2020 I have very little faith in the electoral establishments of just about any country on Earth. Given that Poland is stuck between a rock and a hard place, with NATO on one side and Russia on the other, I can't imagine that the ruling class didn't do what they had to do to break for a globalist that will make NATO happy at the expense of the majority of their population. I'm sure they fear Russia turning on them after Ukraine (doubtful, but nothing would make the US military-industrial apparatus happier than another grift to open up that they can exploit). No matter what the case will be going forward, Poland had to make a deal with an American devil, or a Russian devil, and no choice was going to leave them in a better spot. It's just the nature of their unenviable location in the greater world of geopolitics.

Agreed, 2020 really made me doubt the entire electoral process. And yeah, Poland's location makes them literally in the middle of everything. The crossroads between the east and west. I'm not saying that the east is the end all good, but the west seems to be doing whatever they can to suicide themselves.

The hysterical characters who believe Russia is prepared to invade NATO countries are reminiscent of those who decided to destroy Vietnam because of their "domino theory".

Which ironically accelerated domino theory if anything.
