Anyone familiar with the history of Russophobia knows that this is one of the cornerstones of the political establishment in countries like Poland. Due to its centuries-long rivalry with Russia, Warsaw remains one of the most adamant supporters of NATO’s ongoing Barbarossa-like crawling invasion that only uses the former Ukraine as a strategic springboard. In fact, Poland is even preparing for a possible direct confrontation with Moscow, openly admitting that it expects the NATO-backed Neo-Nazi junta to fail entirely. However, despite its endemic hatred for the Kremlin, Warsaw’s strategic planners are perfectly aware of the massive difference between belligerent rhetoric and the actual situation on the ground, which is why Poland is yet to directly engage in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict.
Despite their repeated Russophobic statements and claims of supposed Russian military “inferiority”, a long-running, self-serving myth that has been debunked numerous times, Polish leaders understand that a direct confrontation with Moscow would be a disaster for Warsaw. Namely, while the Kremlin sees Ukrainians as an estranged part of the larger Russian ethnos (which they’ve historically been for over 1,200 years), there are no such constraints when it comes to Poles, a nation that’s linguistically, genetically and culturally close to Russia, but is universally seen as hostile, both due to historical and geopolitical considerations.
