Janusz Korwin-Mikke assessed that Russia has moral justification in the war, although he besides admitted that the Polish business requires the preservation of independent Ukraine. This contradiction is crucial for Poland: national realism cannot reverse work for aggression or confuse cold calculation with the justification of Kremlin.
Corwin-Mikke's contradiction
Janusz Korwin-Mikke put 2 claims next to him. He considered Ukraine's independency to be beneficial for Poland, and at the same time he was morally on the side of Moscow. DoRzeczy.pl cited this assessment in material devoted to his position towards war.
The first part of the speech affects the real Polish business. The Ukrainian State separates the Republic of Poland from the Russian Empire and binds much of its potential. The second part blurs the basic fact: The Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, violating the borders of the neighboring state. The UN General Assembly condemned aggression and demanded the withdrawal of Russian troops.
Poles have the right to justice powerfully the authorities in Kiev. The deficiency of full settlement of the Volyn genocide, trade disputes and the anticipation of reciprocity require a tough policy. no of these problems carry work for starting the current war from the Kremlin to the assaulted state. Realism starts with a correct diagnosis.
Kremlin works in its own interest
Korwin-Mikke consistently tries to present Russia's actions as a condition that Warsaw can use. Recently he argued that Russian soldiers are fighting in the interests of Poles. specified construction ignores Moscow's goals. The Kremlin wages war to rebuild its own region of domination, not to increase the safety of the Republic.
Polish historical memory does not let Russian imperialism to be treated as a tool under our control. The occupations, russian occupations and post-war subordination of the country show how Moscow approaches the independency of the peoples of Central Europe. Today, the distance between Russian military forces and Polish borders is at stake.
This does not consequence in an work to unconditionally support all decision of Kiev. Poland should supply assistance where it strengthens its own safety and powerfully demands reciprocity in historical, economical and social matters. The view that any weakening of Ukraine automatically strengthens Poland leads to a misassessment of our position.
Polish realism needs a clear assessment
Foreign policy is based on strength, geography and sustainable national interest. Therefore, Poland cannot justify the power which by force changes borders and subjugates its neighbour. Acceptance of this rule affects the safety of all the countries between Germany and Russia.
Korwin-Mikke rightly recognises the importance of independent Ukraine for Poland, but does not draw a logical conclusion from this. The triumph of Russian imperialism would limit the freedom of the Republic and rise the cost of our defence. Poles would pay for this mistake with money, reinforcements and a lasting increase in threat.
