Comments

Putin is obsessed with retaking Ukraine and the other Baltic Countries. His road to Poland is to retake Ukraine. The Polish have a history of insisting on self-rule. They are a member of the EU, but refused to take Muslim migrants in 2015.

Poland is obsessed with remaining an independent country and expanding their private sector economy.
