Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]
and it is an opportunity that Poland would be foolish to miss to regain Lwów.
You clearly have no idea what "regaining L'viv" would involve. Here's a clue : Western Ukraine is very, very poor in many areas, and the population is openly hostile to any idea of any foreign power retaking their land. Poland is struggling to get the poorest Eastern regions up to the living standards of richer provinces, so what makes you think she has the money to incorporate a considerably poorer region?
Furthermore, the Polish population there is almost totally assimilated.
Trump is not going to renegotiate anything where Ukraine is concerned, and most of all, he's not going to suddenly do deals with the Russkies after riding an isolationist platform.
and the defense of the U.S. nuclear umbrella is all that Poland needs to prevent a war with Russia.
Hahahahaha. Naive, and only an American could speak like that. History shows us that the United States doctrine in a defensive war in Europe is to fall back to certain defensive points and then use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield to ensure that the hinterland doesn't fall. The United States is not going to throw resources to defend Lublin or Białystok.
