Trump is bluffing.
He wants something for very little or nothing.
The only security for Poland can be achieved by Poland, by making Poland stronger with the support of some close allies. Expecting others to carry our security substantially is folly. Je suis bouleversée de la profondeur des Polish expectations, hopes and naivité.

Also, it is not Poland but Texas, the state where you expect such behavior to be punished with a bullet.

Russians are building something in Kaliningrad. I suspect it has something to do with their idea of disturbing GPs' signals (just for starters) in this part of the world. Asking for a bomb.

News / War propaganda - are we really THAT retarded? [28]
The Western audience needs to be fed such lies because their support for the war would diminish. I simply dislike that the Polish media parrot these falsehoods. Poles do not need artificial support to remain steadfast in their backing for Ukraine.
Only unreasonable actions by the Polish government undermine that support because Poles get the impression they are being taken advantage of. As a result, they naturally blame Ukrainians, when in fact much of the fault lies with our glorious politicians-as usual.
