Again, the spirit of dissection.
It is said that president Vladimir Putin proposed to Poland the demolition of Ukraine. Fortunately, our politicians have done adequate past lessons to know that this is just the beginning of regional salami tactics. First Moscow will dismantle 1 country, then decision with the another and so on – until the realization of a imagination which the Russian leader clearly expressed in his pseudohistoric essays. NATO is expected to return to the state before 1997. Poland and another countries of the erstwhile east bloc will de facto go under the Moscow umbrella and so on.
Since Poland and no 1 else was willing to cut, the offer went to the US. president Trump was asked on Sunday about possible concessions in negotiations on a ceasefire in Ukraine. Then Donald Trump openly stated about Ukraine that president Putin and I would “talk about the land. We will talk about power plants," he added, "We are already talking about this, sharing any assets."

It doesn't substance how much Trumpist vocabulary it is, as far as circumstantial decisions are afraid behind the scenes. The very way of reasoning from our position is simply shocking, due to the fact that it reminds us how Polish patriots felt in the 18th century erstwhile they heard about cuttings.
Somewhere out there, far above their heads, there are decisions about cutting, somewhere far above the spread maps “the land was discussed”, somewhere quietly “some assets were divided”. erstwhile we look at the books on the 3 partitions of the First Republic, we realize that in specified a spirit diplomats were talking in St. Petersburg, Vienna and Berlin. The result of these talks changed Polish past forever. Since the 18th century, we know that it is possible to erase from the map, even if the country exists for hundreds of years.
The Nightmare of Neo-Imperialism
And here president Trump makes it clear that not only has the dictionary come back, but the full way of reasoning and policy-making by cutting down smaller countries is becoming à la mode again. The White home spokeswoman assured us that the president of the United States is invariably about a "peace agreement". But it was never about anything else erstwhile another countries were divided, hen, somewhere far away. Conscience, however, needs to be calmed by lofty clichés. So now here and there alternatively of telling a communicative about the fresh Yalta, it is more eager to return to the analogy with the division of Korea, which brought peace for decades.
These are at best godly wishes mixed with disregard for the sovereignty of east European countries. Neo-imperialism of the USA, China or Russia, by all means, contains elements of old. We know something about the powers and their appetites.

Global imperialism consisted of dominance over culture, economy and territory. In the first 2 areas of the U.S. were present almost continuously since 1945. As for the third, the case was complicated. usually cheaper than occupying the full country, like Vietnam utilized to, and late Iraq or Afghanistan, was establishing military bases.
Eventually, the U.S. has respective 100 specified points in the world. In 2025, the shock of news is that the United States of Trump – under the apparent influence of Putin – openly returns to the old knowing of the empire studying the stain on the globe. So not only domineering over culture and economy (so-called soft power), but besides – openly – again competing for control over territory. Time to tame this shock. It's time to make fresh forms of response.
There is no reason for the powers to diet on boundaries, natural materials and dominance. At the same time we enter the old and fresh worlds, and from this position the disputes of most Polish politicians seem simply regrettable and provincial. If you believe in polls of public opinion, which indicate fatigue with duality, Poles seem to feel change faster than their representatives.
