Do we finally see that Russia doing something positive for Poland, by successfully resisting to EU ? [57]
This thread I must say, proving to be good experiment of mine. Let me explain.
I noticed general rise of anti-EU feelings among Polish diaspora and ethnic Poles in general. For obvious reasons. And Poles are more and more willing to openly criticize EU. Expat persons in Poland have mixed feelings. They would like to follow Polish feelings but, their feelings often differ. For obvious reasons. Comments on EU are various.
Now, when one initiate thread that in its title on one side underlines EU-Russia conflict and on the other side benefits for Poles from it, you get something like we have so far in this thread. First, Poles rather ignore such a thread. Poles would hardly dare to criticize EU in situation when it (to those who looking from outside) may look like that Poles rather support Russia then EU. Actually, most of Poles start to speak of positive sides of EU, no matter that in other threads they criticize that same EU.
This is so humanly, I must say.
But, its not nice that due to constant Polish-Russian antagonism, hostile non-Slavs, always have open maneuverable space to molest Serbia and Serbians just because we exist as Slavs. We must have assistance of Poland and of Russia to be able to survive as Slavs who live in region where we live- in the heart of Europe, exposed to influences of Western and Eastern Roman Empires and plus influences of Islam. If Russia solely coming in our aid, hostile non-Slavs say its over Orthodoxy. When Catholic Poles are able to do something for us, hostile non-Slavs have less maneuverable space to manipulate. Not to speak of combined effect of Polish and Russian support. Effect is then multiplied by fact that are hostile non-Slavs terrified by the possibility that Poland and Russia founded something in common interest, even if speak only of interests that both- Poles and Russians share positive feelings for Serbians and do have interests that we survive as Slavs.
As a Serbian, which tries to write here having in mind interests of Serbia and Serbians, I would like that Poles and Russians understand how is also their own best interest that normality prevails in their relationship. Normality means behaving normally. No big positive emotions, no big negative emotions, no alliance, no too much of cooperation but some minimum level of cooperation when both sides have interest, rather peaceful coexistence as good neighbors.
What is my point here? Point is that Poles and Russians must start to show respect to each others when there is reason for respect. See, my sisters and brothers, there is time for critics and times for respect. If you don`t have this in your relationship, you don`t have normalcy. Without normalcy, sooner or later hostile non-Slavs would grab that opportunity and put you in situation of mutual conflict.
So, I must say, behavior of Poles in this thread so far, does not change next facts:
1 - EU is increasingly hostile on Poland and Poles, for all sorts of reasons.
2 - Poland and Poles do profit from fact that is Russia able to resist to EU, because thanks to that Poland have bigger maneuverable space to itself resist to EU. If not for Russia, in Europe, EU would be unstoppable and resistance of Poland would be impossible. Anybody`s resistance would be impossible.
3 - If EU pressuring Serbia and Russia is able to support Serbia, that is also Russia`s support to Poland.
