Poland policy is wrong. They looking for problem and Im afraid they will find one!What is your problem? Can you for a change try to be a friendly state as many of today Europeans (include Russia) wich dont look to the past but to better and peacefull future?"Two biggest loosers (Germany and Russia-aggresor and victim) shall be for you and the rest of Europe a clear example to follow!They dont cry about past-they make a true friends(after all) for better...Times when you and others did travel "happy" to East are gone forever-it will never return! To even think about that is a grave danger only for your state and nation!Any future threat to today peacefull Russia(from any state) will bring a total wipe out of aggresor-unlike anything in the past!People who lead you are not aware(not your nation) how danger is your policy in reality! I do hope ,that Poland will stop living in the past and start living in present times-as the rest of us!Change your policy...Thanke you

To the casual reader it seems like Robert Bridge might also be simmering in some anti-Polish juices -- to borrow a phrase from somewhere.

Lol... Poland and the rest of the Baltics .. calm down .. Russia isn't going to attack you ... there is a very simple reason .. you're useless to Russsia .. i mean .. what could Rus be possibly gain from you ? I think that even if you would like to join Russia voluntarily ... they would refuse to take you in ...LOL

Poland is one of countries that calls outsiders to solve their problems. Albania, Hungary, Poland (Czech politicians ready to sell) - countries which like doing that. However they do not learn from history. They want to expand with others help. Once their helper is gone, they pay their price for their crimes. In other words once Titanic is sunk, they follow. End up worse than before, but due to their ambitions and folly, theye repeat it.

Historically, Poland has had a bad habit of seeking enemies nearby and allies far away, a habit which unfortunately still continues to this day. Whatever point they are trying to make is not going to work out. Taking orders from Washington DC is also not a good foreign policy and security decision either. Poland should be a NEUTRAL NATION, like Switzerland, and not joining any pacts, military or otherwise. Common sense would dictate that this would be the move Poland makes after the history of invasions, wars and occupations that it went through. That Poland did not take this opportunity and insists on shackling itself to US imperial projects is not only foolish and dangerous for the country's security and well-being, but it is also very hypocritical. How can Poland commemorate and cry over the damage caused by invasions and occupations while at the same time having military contingents occupying Iraq and Afghanistan? What Poland needs to do is STOP trying to please the US, fix their roads and other infrastructure, INVEST the money it currently wastes on NATO membership to uplift their society economically, with technological research, green technology creation, etc., and STOP counting on the US, NATO and the EU to solve its every problem! Poland needs to stop blaming others, roll up its sleeves and get to work. Expecting other countries to bail them out of their f--- ups is only keeping Poland from developing properly.

Excellent comment from Paul Pawlowski. Regards from Croatia.

The picture clearly doesn't show polish protesters as its Belorussian flag and Belorussian (probably) language on signs. More, there were no protests against Russian military base in Poland as there was no proposition of such.
