It's known that fiction rules the world. As we look at the globe, until it comes from the colors of various states, their capitals and provinces. They always have their governments, hymns and armies. They're best seen during the Olympics. any put up as many as 5 players!
At a closer look, however, we see that their armed forces are operetta, the corrupt administration, and the budgets are fundamentally residual. These are indeed the countries of the spectrum. I'd say they are, due to the fact that they should be! If we wanted to someway group them in terms of real strength and actual global significance, it would turn out that there are only a fewer empires in the world. Up to 10-15 organisms wishing to be considered power structures and all the large rest.
Let us not go into further details today, however, and this time let us halt only in Poland. So what's our status? surely Warsaw does not belong to those rather exclusive clubs that in common relationships can afford much, but besides not everything. Everyone lives in any kind of restriction. There are contexts. If that's the case with empires and powers, what about us? Especially since we can't even be included in the first group of vassal states. And there aren't that many. Without showing it with a finger, I will add that these nations belong to this category, which they can do a lot anyway. And these are the ones that have the power to choose their own sovereign.
Let's not hide: this is simply a very advanced value. However, since 1939 it has not been available to Poland. And this is not about any charge against the leaders of our policy, but about a certain circumstance, possibly even called objective. erstwhile we consider our situation rather coldly, we will see clearly, if we want to see that our influence on the choice did not number from the beginning. We were decided. This was the case in 1944, and so it was in 1989. Moreover, it should be rather clear that if there were now akin circumstances, which I mentioned in the erstwhile sentence, our strategical matters would not be arranged in Warsaw.
But can Poland someway prepare for this eventuality and are we able to change something in our favour? Why? After all, could we make any crucial effort to improve our position within the real possibilities? However, there is the first basic condition: first of all, you request to be well aware of your own situation, reconcile with it and act in accordance with its circumstances. And they are the following. In the planet arena, as well as in Europe, all powers treat Poland as well as the Czech Republic, Hungary, or Romania, i.e. as a typical Central - European state. So there is no request – even the smallest – for us to get besides puffy and puffy. No one's just gonna fall for it. Moreover, we do not request anything good and lasting. The best example is our concern for Ukraine. And it is simply a country that does not play itself, but before playing. We effort to sit at the table, but in what capacity? Chess players are already there. So we have the function of chess, and it's not necessarily figures!
