Searching for keys in Polish-Russian relations [75]
You highly overestimate potential of current Polish state.
No i dont, the potential of the current Polish state is even greater than Germany, the political "elite" is the only major issue here.
Even if Polish politicians would be competent they could not solve the problem with even more incompetent Ukrainian politicians.
There is a very strong pro-Polish group in Western Ukraine, they are the wealthier half, all they need is coordination, start Polish funded media, organize them, support them and we can create a highly competent group pushing for closer ties with Poland and reforming Ukraine at the same time.
In fact we're in a thousand times better position than Russia which needs to coerce and bribe, we have a massive following of willing supporters there, who's voice is incindentally more important than russian sympathizers.
Anyway, installing democracy from above is a quite poor concept made in the US. How "our democracy" differ from "their democracy" in your opinion?
Not installing, we should never resort to russian tactics, puppet goverments are always temporary, we need to support the right movements and thats about it, any democracy thats not a Russian puppet is "our".
Poland at this rate will be all the way up there with the Western states within 20 years, probably sooner, Ukraine will take much much longer, it needs an ally on an international arena, that ally is either Poland or Russia.
"We can get", please define.
Military, political and economical alliance that leaves the door open for a possible union in the future, neither of us will survive as an independent political entity for long and Western states cannot be counted on in long term, their interests either conflict ours or completely lack coomon fields.
