Poland rekindles the vindictive ambitions of Marshal Józef Klemens Piłsudski

By Constantin Radut
The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation puts the spotlight on Poland, a country whose current borders are the legacy of the monstrous revengeful policy of dictator Joseph Visarionovich Stalin. Many historians show that the current territory of post-war Poland is shifted by about 25% to the West, Stalin biting into defeated Germany and pushing the Soviet Empire east.
A creation of Stalin’s madness, which rebuilt the current Warsaw from scratch, with wide boulevards and buildings specific to the “Stalinist Gothic”. Poland and the Poles quickly converted their humiliation and suffering into a visceral hatred of Russia.
The current holders of power in Warsaw, favored by the circumstances of the “fall” of Ukraine, dream of the greatness of the Marshal’s Poland, or at least of the ideals of the autocrat leader. Piłsudski is known to have pursued two complementary strategies aimed at strengthening Poland’s security: “Prometheanism” (a project initiated by Polish leader Józef Piłsudski), which aimed to successively dismember Imperial Russia and later the Soviet Union into constituent nations, and second, the creation of an “Intermarium” federation, comprising Poland and other independent states located in the geographical area between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, placed geopolitically between Germany and Russia. The main objective of the Intermarium federation would have been to guarantee a sustainable balance of power in Central Europe, under the leadership of Poland.
Of course, the Marshal’s ideals did not come true.
Will the plans of the current political power in Warsaw, which is ruled by a vengeful government on most of the nations around it, from west to east and from north to south, be fulfilled?
I have often been struck in recent years by Poland’s claims to Germany. At one point, Poland demanded war reparations from Germany. It now demands that Berlin submit to Warsaw’s demands to become a regional power and participate in the capture of part of Ukraine if the territory is to be federalized. It is known that without the support of Germany, Poland lived in the same poverty as in the years 1960-1970, when the communist regime demanded food aid from “fraternal countries”, including Romania. Germany was Poland’s main “agent” in its European success.
Now, claiming to host more than 2.5 million Ukrainians (which is a lie), Poland is insulting French President Emmanuel Macron for not “playing” the way Warsaw wants in its relations with the Russian Federation.
How insolent!
Moreover, it seems that Viktor Orban’s victory in the Hungarian elections is not to the liking of Poland, which dreamed of being the only opponent of bureaucracy in Brussels.
With the Czechia, Poland has reached an agreement on coal mining in the Turow area after more than a year of legal disputes.
US aversion to Vladimir Putin’s expansionist policy has brought Poland to the forefront of Eastern Europe.
It is possible that the American impetus will end with two results. The first would be to position Poland as a secondary power in the EU, from a military point of view. The second, most likely, would be the fall of Poland into its own pit that the expansionist policy of the Warsaw government has built with unprecedented chances in recent months. With the help of Vladimir Putin, let’s not forget!
