News / Next 100 years - Poland as great power? [35]

You are not listening to what he says, he states that Russia will not last long in the near future and then Poland will begin to take large amounts of Russia making itself a much more powerful nation. You guys are saying that Poland cant be a superpower but your forgetting about one of history's strongest nations Poland-Lithuanian Common Wealth. And you keep saying Poland isnt in a great strategic position, but it is that exact same position lead them to become a world power before. Poland is surrounded by smaller countries (When I say surrounded by I just mean to the south) with great value such as Slovenia, Hungary, and Slovakia. These countries have a pathetic military strength and Poland would benefit greatly from taking them, I say Poland can become a great power, Now it has only about a 15% chance of that but you people are way too quick to shoot George Friedman's theory down
