George F. Kennan wrote in his memoirs that Poland would stay a hull state, without any chance of development, doomed to Russia, and that is the main intent and intent of these borders. (George F. Kennan, Memories 1925-1950 An Atlantic Monthly Press Book 1967, pages 213-214).
To full realize the point of George F. Kennan needs to go back to the time of King Bolesław Chrobry, who regained the Red Gates in 1018, strategical lands for Poland's development. The Red Castles lay on the main trade way connecting the Baltic to the Black Sea pool. The area of Czerwieński's Grodów coincides with the area of 4 voivodships of the II Rzeczpospolita, Lwowski, Wołyński, Tarnopolski, and Stanisławowski. For centuries Poland fought fiercely for these lands with Rusia Kiev, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Mongols, the Tatars, the Turks, the Cossack chaotic and the Volochs. all ruler of Poland, since the beginning of our statehood, was well aware that the political and economical existence of the Republic depends on this gate to the east, whose capital is Lviv. Polish elites understood that cutting off Poland from Lviv, Borysława, Stryju, Stanisławów, Kolomya and Tarnopol will consequence in complete marginalization of Poland in Europe. Poland will not be able to build and make strategical relations with Romania, Hungary and Turkey, thus reducing Poland's political and economical position to a country dependent on the views of stronger countries.
The longest railway connection of II Rzeczpospolita is the way from Gdynia to Zaleszczyk. It linked modern Gdynia to the Romanian port of Constance. There were 3 strategical railway links between Poland and Hungary (map below). Poland expanded and modernised all transport routes at the border with Hungary and Romania during the period II of the Republic of Poland. I dare say that this expansion was 1 of the main causes of Germany's attack on Poland, or actually of Poland's engagement in the conflict between the US-England and Germany, whose main aim was to permanently change the global political and economical system, initiated by the Bretton Woods conference in July 1944. The modern port in Gdynia with its rail connections has marginalized the position of the port in Gdańsk. The destiny of the Gdańsk shipyard, which was dependent on the supply of steel from Silesia, was determined. Gdynia practically sentenced the full East Prussia to slow demolition and depopulation.
The war in Ukraine is coming to an end. The aftermath of the peace talks between the US administration and Russia will be the demolition of Ukraine. Romania and Hungary are preparing to reclaim the lands lost in planet War II. No 1 can halt this trial. The east border of Ukraine will run to Dnieper. It is not yet known whether Kiev will stay within the limits of post-war Ukraine? What happens to Odessa? Moldova is likely to be absorbed by Romania. Will the borders of Poland be moved to Zbrucz is simply a large unknown?
Polish intellectual and political elites consider the recovery of east Małopolska to be thought of as a crime! The fresh truncated Ukraine with its capital in Lviv will be a deadly threat to Poland. The integration of east Małopolska into the borders of Poland will origin serious national tensions which Poland will not be able to cope with. Polish political elites simply deficiency intellect and imagination to meet the challenges that inevitably carry the demolition of Ukraine. During the times of the Polish People's Republic, Poland was a lentil of russian Russia, now Poland is simply a state of the U.S. Empire. The Polish economy depends on Germany. More than 40% of Polish exports are sent to Germany.
The war between Russia and the United States, which is taking place in Ukraine, has made Russia immune from the devastating economical sanctions imposed on it by the alleged NATO coalition under the leadership of the US. Thanks to Sergei Lavrow's very long-term, wise and effective diplomacy, the United States has been deprived of all instruments of political and economical force on Russia.
Despite the war, draconian sanctions and attempts to isolate Russia internationally, Russia's GDP in 2023 increased by 3.65% and in 2024 by another 3.65%. Russia is simply a developing country. It is simply a plague of corruption, of all social pathologies, of bureaucracy, and there is besides a gigantic area of the state itself. Napoleonic Wars, the 1853 Crimean War, and especially the 1905 war with Japan, have always led Russia into a state of interior crisis culminating in smaller or larger social revolutions. The exception to this regulation was planet War II. It was simply that the government and its government could never cope with the burden of war. At the time of the outbreak of a larger armed conflict, primitiveism and state administrative failure, they caused deep systemic breakdowns in all areas of social life. Russia's accession to planet War I led to a complete disaster. The war in Afghanistan provoked by Zbigniew Brzeziński led to the collapse of the russian Union. The 20th century for Russia was an unimaginable nightmare. This systemic condition of Russia was attempted to exploit by starting a war in Ukraine. The U.S. and NATO's pumping of giant sums and military equipment into a bottomless well in Ukraine aims to drag the war to the minute of the structural collapse of Putin Russia. The supporters of the war in Ukraine are absolutely convinced that all day of fighting in Ukraine brings closer the fall of Russia, which stands on clay legs.
It is very hard to find the current economical and social situation of Russia. Unfortunately, primitive propaganda pouring out of mainstream media portrays Russia as a dusty gas station ruled by Putin's satrap. Sound journalism ceased to be and was replaced by grotesque performances of talking heads, preying on fueling human phobias and emotions. surely the war Russia has in Ukraine is costly. The measures Russia could usage to make and modernise the state are eaten by war. Will Russia be able to fight for the next 2 or 3 years? I uncertainty that. The war in Ukraine besides destroys the NATO coalition economically. The cost of this war is passed on to all citizens of the anti-Russian coalition, which is why we have inflation. The war besides exposed the failure of NATO coalition manufacture to produce the essential artillery ammunition and basic weapons. The NATO alliance itself has become a fiction. Will the United States, with its vassal building from NATO, be able to drag the conflict in Ukraine for another 2 or 4 years? The answer to this question depends on whether the Kiev government will manage to reduce the age of the draft and whether Poland will send its troops to the front with Russia?
Poland as a vassal and a state of the United States has no impact on the result of the peace negotiations between the US and Russia. Poland simply has no vote in this discussion. The only thing Poland can number on is to send peacekeepers in the territory of western Ukraine, and that is very unlikely. The fresh politician of Poland, Ambassador Thomas Rose, will guarantee that there is no change in the arrangement of forces established during the circular Table. The chandelier in the presidential palace is to be a candidate from the American broadcast. Media companies in the Polish marketplace are to stay intact, while the key industries, especially in the energy department, are to stay under the full control of the USA. In another words, politician Thomas Rose will do anything to keep the current position quo.
Nothing lasts forever. The U.S. is increasingly little able to terrorize unruly states with its sanctions, as is illustrated by the expanding BRICS force. Unfortunately, Polish society has no ambition to take advantage of the upcoming changes. The ambitious realize that success requires sacrifices and work. The way to success is very risky and has failed. Polish society has a complete aversion to risks and sacrifices. So there is no hope that Poland will be able to see and take advantage of the chance that the U.S.-Russia peace negotiations will inevitably create. Let me give you a simple example. Poland has been trying to force exhumation of victims of genocide in Volyn and east Małopolska for years in Ukraine. A strong nation with a strong global position would be able to deal with this substance quickly. Ukraine would gotta agree to all the conditions of a strong state, without murmuring. We have a very different situation. Ukraine is completely irrelevant to Poland's tasks. He treats Poland with contempt and Polish demands on exhumation are not only ignored but even ridiculed. Poland has absolutely no anticipation of force on the government in Kiev. The public itself in its majority is indifferent to the issue of exhumation. Most Poles do not care about this issue. The issue of exhumation and the burial of murdered Poles perfectly illustrates Poland's position on the global stage, and especially shows the real, insignificant position of Poland in the conflict that is taking place in Ukraine. Ukraine only matters from the US and knows that Poland as a state is simply a meaningless vassal of the United States. Polish political and intellectual elites do everything to simply ignore this fact, hoping that society will not notice! Polish society has come to terms with the fact that it has no influence on anything, so it is better to spend time on holidays and exotic holidays.
At the end of the war in Ukraine, Poles will be forced to face the problems of the increasing Ukrainian number in Poland. This number will take power. The full Ukrainian enclaves in the territory of Poland will be created and actually already created. An cultural conflict is inevitable, it is simply a substance of time. This was the consequence of Polish intellectual elites dreaming of a national state, a superb imagination of Józef Piłsudski, the reconstruction of Polish Jagielloński, inter-mortal and pivota on the Master's laboratory Jack Bartosiak. Godly wishes and dreams have already led Poland to the tragedy of the Vide Uprising of January 1863, the politics of the voivode of Henryk Józewski towards Ukrainians, which resulted in the genocide of Poles in 1939-1947, or the tragic Warsaw Uprising. Polish society is absolutely deaf to all warnings! In the upcoming presidential elections, Poles will have a chance to end the nightmare of the circular Table, subject to the mobilisation of society. Time to put down the beer and grilled sausage and take care of our home, our future!
