Donald Tusk - the worst PM of 3rd RP. [79]
normalised relations with Germany (hmm - gained nothing in the process)
But lost nothing as well, if Kaczyński continued his policy of antagonizing Germany would become a serious opponent of Poland, we dont want overly negative sentiments in Germany for no reason since they're a crucial economical and political partner, like it or not few things happen in Europe without Germany and its going to be like it for a few more years.
Germany does not treat Poland as a partner
if it would there would not be the whole issue with the Nord Stream
That disagreement comes from Germany seeing significant economic issues while being blind to long term catastrophic results of this pipeline, but as Germany sees it we're simply refusing for the sake of it, Germans do not have a grasp of Eastern politics and Russian policies.
Germany is our partner as in it works with us in many fields, it doesnt mean it will immidietaly concede to any of our demands, thats what diplomacy is for.
responsible democracy - wow (you mean standing in the line, not causing trouble to the big fish)
No, i mean not asserting our power and leverage over petty issues like Kaczyńscy and PiS did.
to me being laughing stock as long as my interests are defended is somewhat irrelevant (you can laugh at me all along as long as you pay me my say salary, dowry whatever)
What interests did Kaczyńscy defend? They caused the russian meat embargo, they've alienated Poland from its Western partners and they destroyed any perspective of gains from the missile shield by being ready to actualy pay for its installation.
I'm sorry but they never defended our interests, they damaged them.
As for "currency options" the goverment is in the wrong, i absolutely agree, as for the dockyards though we did not have much choice though i think we should defy EU at any cost over this issue.
I do agree that Tusks goverment is incompetent but branding it "the worst" is simply wrong, Kaczyńscy were a much much worse option while SLD was simply criminal in its excerise of power.
