President Joe Biden’s team has committed “a cascade of errors” in the lead-up to his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the top Polish diplomat, who complained that Warsaw only learned “from the media" that the U.S. would waive sanctions on a major Russian pipeline project.

“Our American allies did not find time to consult with the region most exposed to the consequences of that decision,” Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said Friday.

Rau was critical of Biden’s relationship with Central and Eastern European allies, just as the new administration hopes to make a show of transatlantic unity following former President Donald Trump’s tempestuous tenure on Biden's first trip abroad. Yet, the Putin encounter looming at the end of that diplomatic tour casts a shadow over the alliance, as Biden's outreach to the western European capitals that clashed most with Trump involves policy concessions that alarm the allies who endured the tyranny of the Soviet Union.

“American-Russian-German dialogue is no substitute for consultations between America and its allies on NATO’s eastern flank, who will be particularly affected by these decisions,” Rau told Rzeczpospolita, a Polish media outlet. “It is easier for the Americans to talk to the Germans and the French, who won’t ask awkward questions and are willing to give the Americans the nod on Russia.”

With Biden representing the West, Russia is well on its way to annexing Kazakhstan.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I expect that is one of the disasters waiting now to unfold.

I would also suggest that if you were planning to visit Taiwan, you might want to do that sooner rather than later.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Poland better learn, real fast, that the team that stole the elections from the Americans are the same team that was rooting for the success of the Soviet Union and they hate the fact that Lech Walesa helped force that collapse with his unionization of Poland.

They don't care about Poland and wish to return to the days when Poland was a province of the National Socialists on the one side and the Communists on the other.

And they're probably equally unhappy, considering who the Rodent allies are, that Poland stopped the last muslim invasion of Europe in the 1600's.
