In an open letter to the country's prime minister, Europe's largest aerospace group accused the Warsaw government of shifting the goalposts as Airbus competed with U.S. and Italian rivals and attempting to contravene European Union regulations.
Airbus Group Chief Executive Tom Enders accused Poland of misleading the company during negotiations and threatened further action, without giving details.
"Never have we been treated by any government customer the way this government has treated us," Enders said in a separate emailed statement.
"The controversial and contradictory declarations of the Polish government over the course of this procurement proceedings created the impression of unprecedented confusion," he said

Russia has the worlds largest arsenal of nuclear weapons and they would use them.
A dead Pole cannot fight back and have you forgotten that Russia invaded Poland three times in the 20th centuary and only stopped occupying in 1991?
Putin wants to reinstate the Russian Empire - which includes Poland. They didn't seem to have any problem with doing so before.
Wake out from your western fantasy, the reality is that if Poland left Nato Russia would invade and occupy Poland immediatly to restore its border.

Russia wants Poland as part of Russia.You are incredibly naive to think that Nato is a threat to Poland, without Nato Russia would reoccupy its former empire. Its purpose is to provide a buffer zone to fight a war.
Russia's plans was nuclear annilation for Poland - the Russia father land would escape. Nuking all neutral capitial cities to destroy their 'culture'.

If your knowledge of Poland has been increased by coming here, I guess you starterted with Zero.
Some unusual friends you have there. My Polish gun owning family and friends could not give a flying F*** about the US gun laws, statistics or hand gun ownership in general. They have all the guns the want and need, for hunting for fun for whatever. Killing people or defending themselves against an non existant threat doesn't even enter it.
They are not interested in the facts, guns or legislation. You are, apparetly its an obsession. But nobody on this side of the Atlantic considers it worthy of debate.

I share with my Polish friends the gun laws in the U.S. that they are inquisitive about and the actual statistics that the news media puts a spin on in order to sensationalize how bad handguns are or just leaves out of the story.

You seem to be under the impression that you have to own a bank to control it whereas controlling the currency and the banks themselves is in the hands of the government, right now.
So why attack the Polish govt for doing it, even though to the best of my knowledge they still haven't done so.

FFS, do you live in Napoleonic times?
Governments sell bonds to investors all over the world in an auction. The interest rate is related to the risk of a government not paying it back. Poland has no trouble selling its bonds.
They do not got to a bank and ask for a ******* Chest of Gold to buy muskets and gunpowder.
What country do you live in? Have you ever lived and worked in Poland?
A foreign back in Poland is under the control of the Polish regulator, its could no more 'demand a loan' from a foreign bank than it could a Polish owned bank.
All Poland needs to do is ask the central bank to print money.. manufacture it out of paper, which is the cause of inflation and the destruction of an ecomony. Hyperinflation already destroyed the Polish economy once.
A foreign bank may turn down a government's request for a loan if said government is at war with the bank's home country.

You continue to display a bizzare view of the world. The banks do not call the shots, the Polish regulator does. Polish banks have to do whatever the Polish government tell them too, becuase Poland is the guarantor and controls the currency.
The money lent to Polish customers comes from capital held by the banks, so Poles are benifiting from foreign money (and to a far lessor amount Polish bank deposits).
Anyone can setup a bank, as long as they are honest and have the policiies, procedures and financial backing.
There is nothing stopping the Polish governement setting up a bank, the problem is Poland already owns the biggest bank but customer CHOOSE not to use it BECAUSE its owned by the Polish government and therefore, by definition, CRAP.
State or private is not important. What's important that these are Polish-owned banks. Who owns the banks, calls the shots.
