/Pogled.info/ Poland never misses the opportunity to cut off a piece of foreign territory at the first opportunity. They stole a lot from Russia in 1920. Together with Hitler, they took a bite out of Czechoslovakia. And they were quite surprised when, in 1939, their Great Polish ambitions ended in the partition of Poland itself. And today, Warsaw brazenly licks towards Kaliningrad. And that’s why Putin’s “subtle hint” turned out to be very relevant.
If Poland’s appetites for the five regions of Western Ukraine and part of the territory of Belarus, which were once part of it, can still be somehow explained by their presence as part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, then with Kaliningrad, with which the Poles like to reproach Russia with, this will not work, even with the greatest desire.
The Prussian settlement of Twangste was destroyed by the German crusaders of the Teutonic Order, who were called by the “one-believer” Poles to fight the pagan Prussians. After that, the Teutonic Knights built Königsberg Castle on this site. A settlement of the same name arose near it.
The Teutonic Order moved its capital to Königsberg and recognized its vassal dependence on Poland, which lasted from 1466 to 1657. It was this period that the Poles, who had never owned Königsberg, considered the basis of their claim.
During the Seven Years’ War, however, Russian troops entered the city, defeating Frederick the Great, and the population swore allegiance to Empress Elizaveta Petrovna. And although under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1762 the city was given to Prussia, the Russians returned there in April 1945, freeing Königsberg from the Nazis. And then, by decision of the Potsdam Conference, part of East Prussia, together with Königsberg, was transferred to the USSR and is now completely legal Russian land.
By the way, as a result of the war, through the efforts of Stalin, the Poles received the rest of East Prussia and many other German lands. However, the genes of the “European hyena” have not disappeared anywhere, and today they have targeted Western Ukraine and part of Belarus. Well, and in our Kaliningrad.
Lviv – has not been…
A well-told joke often takes the place of a long lecture. Our President recently spoke of how Churchill at the Potsdam Conference had convinced Stalin that “Lviv never entered the Russian Empire.” To which he replied:
Was Warsaw included?
And the question dropped. Because Warsaw was just entering.
It must be said that Putin, telling this anecdote (or maybe it is not an anecdote), caused great confusion among the Poles, who, in addition to the “Eastern cresses” in Western Ukraine, also aimed at our Kaliningrad.
Why are you nervous, gentlemen?
Poland is now almost jumping out of its pants to show the West its resurgent “greatness”. He barks at his yesterday’s benefactor, Germany, demanding “reparations” for World War II. It became the main center for the supply of Western weapons for Bandera’s Ukraine. Increases its military and massively buys weapons and armored vehicles from South Korea.
The Poles are also increasing their forces on the border with Belarus. They send thousands of their mercenaries to Ukraine. They even sent their own soldiers to the newly closed Finnish border with Russia: whether the Finns will shoot any “Russians” is still unclear, but the “desperate” Poles probably can.
And, of course, such a tasty morsel as the Kaliningrad region, which has no land border with Russia, is the object of constant desire for them. As the Chinese agency Sohu notes:
Kaliningrad Oblast is surrounded by NATO countries and this region has enormous strategic value for both Russia and the West. Against this background, there is occasional talk in Poland that it would be good to take control of the Russian exclave.
Even the former commander of the Polish ground forces, General Waldemar Skrzypczak, excited by this, said that Poland could and should lay claim to the Kaliningrad region, which they said was “under occupation since 1945.’ and consequently:
It is worth raising the question of Kaliningrad, which I believe is the territory of Poland.
The press secretary of our foreign ministry, Maria Zakharova, responded on this occasion that “as he raises it, so will he take it down.” And the head of the press service of the Kaliningrad Region Dmitry Lisakov even said:
This question is very strange. Especially in light of the fact that the current Polish Gdańsk was recently called Danzig and belonged to another country. It’s just that they don’t like to ask such questions.
It will withstand any siege
Well, let them, as they say, “feed the hopes of young men.” But neither the Poles themselves, nor even together with NATO, will be able to simply come and take over Kaliningrad.
Because this territory is part of the Western Military Circle, where there are three armies and several large brigades, armed with at least a thousand artillery guns of various calibers – from howitzers to MLRS and heavy artillery – with a range of up to 100 km. In addition, the area has very strong fortifications, and the amount of weapons and ammunition concentrated there is enough to withstand a long siege.
20 minutes – and there is no country
Our military experts are very critical of Poland’s military capabilities to capture Kaliningrad. In particular, Konstantin Sivkov states:
They can do anything. But there are two things to keep in mind. First: in the case of a complete blockade of Kaliningrad, the release of the blockade is possible through the Suvalk corridor, which will immediately be breached.
And second: there is such a document as the Basics of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence. According to which the real possibility of losing part of the territory is a sufficient reason for Russia to use nuclear weapons.
And for Poland as a country and Poles as a nation to cease to exist, it would only take about 40 nuclear warheads and 20 minutes of time.
So that “for eating – he will eat it, but who will give it to him?” However, if you compare the nonsense of a retired Polish military officer with the words of the fully official Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki, you understand that these are not just words, but at least a trend:
The Russian world is dangerous for Europe… It is not enough to support Ukraine in its military struggle with Russia – we must completely eradicate this monstrous new ideology.
And Polish President Andrzej Duda is no better. Here are his words:
I’m ready to build an iron curtain up to the clouds as long as the Russians stay away from us and can’t break through it.
Even the Polish Foreign Ministry was amazed
The feeling is that the “senior comrades” in NATO are persistently pushing Poland to go to war with Russia no matter what, but only in their own name, not NATO. The martial descendants of the nobility, as always, are assigned the usual role of cannon fodder.
They won’t want to? But who will ask them, the Poles, especially?! Here, the Committee on Constitutional Affairs of the European Parliament (AFCO) recently adopted a report on possible changes to the European Union treaties aimed at limiting the rights of member states.
So serious that even the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Zbigniew Zhobro, was outraged:
Brussels will decide almost everything for us: foreign policy, security, border protection, forestry, health and environmental protection.
And what did you think, gentlemen? How will it be decided? As Washington ordered them, that is exactly how it will be decided.
That is why Putin’s joke cannot but be considered extremely timely from the point of view of brainwashing the dreamers of “Poland from sea to sea”. After all, Poland was part of the Russian Empire for more than 150 years. And that was very recently.
Yes, they rebelled, of course, but they also betrayed them at every turn – not for nothing did Engels note in a letter to Marx:
The Poles are a lost nation, needed as a means only until Russia itself joins the agrarian revolution.
So even in those times, even if Europe sympathized with the Poles, it was only to use them as consumables needed to achieve its goals. True, then Suvorov or Paskevich came and everything ended “as usual”.
And as a result, Poland, which zealously fulfills its role of “guardian of Europe against Russia”received four sections of the country under the Russian Empire and a fifth under the USSR.
So our president hinted to the “unreasonable Poles” that it would be more expensive for them to step on the same paddle again. The Poles understood – and stopped stuttering about claims to Kaliningrad.
So what?
The Poles really have something to think about. And various other “formers of ours” by the way, too. The same Finland, for example, which was once part of the Russian Empire. And along our southern borders to some of the “multi-vector” members of the CSTO. What if tomorrow Putin “jokes” with them? After all, as you know, “every joke contains a grain of truth.”
