Do you think the president's successor will work towards being friends with Russia or continue the relationship with the US? Which do you think will be beter for Poland. IMO i think being friends with Russia would be much better for Poland

Russia or continue the relationship with the US?

Why "or"?

Can Poland not stand and have relations with both in your opinion?

Poland does have relations with both. They should try and maintain a balance that works best for them.

In this tough world you can't be an ALIEN (NATO or Warsaw pact as example)

As far as i know Poland did not get many benefits after join EU?

They get more money (netto) from EU than any other EU-country.

And then there's the unemployment, the thousands of Poles leaving their country to find work elsewhere where they get paid peanuts, etc etc etc...

Ah, guys... Lay aside these attempts to be good with both. Now, it is impossible to suck both tits. You should choose the side.

As you imagine Kostia, we are not interested in being a Russian banana republic again, nor are we interested in sacking Moscow again. Just release the KatyƄ documents, rehabilitate the murdered officers and we'll be friends. Do you think your government will do that now?

I think you should read up on your EU.

M-G (Poland should maintain healthy relationships with all the players it has to deal with - and any other country as well; just works best)

Russia did it. They know Poland is close with the US, so they assassinated those on the plane, and Putin rushes in to find out what happened! -- or to cover up something. They are being kind and generous because they need a Russia supporter as president to flip Poland against strong relations with the US, because 2010 will have Republican congress for sure, and 2012 will probably not have Obama as president, and Republicans will again try to put missile sites in Poland, and Russia does not want that. Russian people are sincere, Putin -- no.

Media sensationalism drags in weak minds.

Russia did it.

Yeah... because Putin wants to do that to in his own backyard with all the attention!
Not only having terrorists bombing Moscow, You sane or something?!

I know that man is tough balls but he isn't PLAIN DUMB!

Russia is not afraid of Poland attacking them lol, especially if they think they can cover it up.

I was just talking to some Polish friends, they are still mad about needing a visa for the US, even when Greece, Estonia, Lativa, and everyone around Poland is exempt from a visa.

Like I said, Russia needs Poland to have stronger relations with them than the US.

Yeah that pisses me off a bit

Like I said, Russia needs Poland to have stronger relations with them than the US.

Ofcourse they do and I am totally pro that thing.

Yeah right...

and why would Russia be afraid of Poland attacking? Russia outnumbers and out-strengths Poland 1000 to 1

I withdrew my comments, I don't want any hostile anti-Russian tensions right now at this very moment

No anti-Russian, only anti-corrupt-Russian government.
as I said before, Russian people = good, Putin = bad

I think we should all take some time out and read Alislam.org - the Messiah has come and we should all be focusing on spreading HIS word....

Thank you for your advice Traveller, but we'd rather read the Bible.

Ehm, if it's all the same to you, I'd rather read a book about serial killers or sth :)

But back on topic. The biggest long term political impact of this disaster has to be the loss of senior military officials. Presidents come and go, were going to get another one soon anyway.

In Kabul, the American who leads allied forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Gen. David Petraeus, offered his condolences. He was in Poland days earlier to meet with its military leaders.

"Almost everybody who was sitting on the other side of the table at my meeting with the general staff is no longer with us," Petraeus said.

That will probably have more of an impact than losing the president.
