Come on...you know you need it, want it even.
Erm... I'm not sure I follow you, old boy. What do we "need" and "want"? :)
Who are you going to go when you need something? The Germans?
The Russians? The Chinese? Serbs?
Poland is, by and large, self-sufficient country. With farming capable of feeding
120 million people and a population of 37 million (on an area only slightly smaller
than Germany) we have a lot of potential for growth. We don't have to "go to"
anyone.
Pressure against one of your neighbors.
Oh, you meant that? Well, we had to choose one ally between Russia and Germany.
We chose Germany (not such an obvious choice, but a logical one in the end) and
we are allies now. Russia is not a threat to us.
