you should not fear germans the way you do
they are not 30s germans
and ill say it
everyone is stronger together then apart but making new friends that help ya is not bad idea
then you don't need rely on others
self sufficiency is a good thing too

@@robertab929 sorry, and true. There's something wrong with Western EU politicians... and it's your time to take care of them, as they took care of you in the 90's and 2000's
True
No more to Polonisation! Poland is the most nationalistic and shouvinistic country in the Europe!
@@leme5639 "Something wrong with Western EU politicians". This give me weird vibes. Politicians are diverse and have various opinions. Did you ever realise that this kind of divisive talk is exactly what Russia wants? Is this the next thing big thing people will fall for? East vs West in the EU??? Just keep dialogue, talk and promote and protect democracy. There's no need to patronise as in "we need to take care of them". Good politics is boring, lacks strong words and leads to the best policy.
Just look at Russia. Strong words, but weak outcomes. That's why I love the EU countries that support Ukraine without being loudmouth about it, but just because it's logical and it has to be done to protect democracy.
During the Cold war the USA spent 6% of GDP in its military. With war on the polish border a 5% expenditure is quite understandable. The real commitment will show in the development of a domestic defense industry both improving capital flows for Poland, but also provide a domestic industry fitting the needs of Poland itself.
Not even close, the US was on average spending only 3% of their GDP, the noticeable spikes were Korean and Vietnam war.
@@janchovanec8624 Completely incorrect, lowest spending from 1960-1990 was 4.9% in 1978 according to the World Bank. Other datasets from prior to 1960 place this at comfortably 2-3 times your number anyway.
Lol the US spent 10 trillion $ to subjugate a country with a 19 billion $ GDP.
I love the Korea-Poland relationship's growth - that puts two of the "middles" on a mutually beneficial path, and I think will result in significant security increases for both against both their respective and common threats
Me2. It's time for Europe to build stronger alliances with more democratic asian countries in order to ensure the freedom the west stand for world wide when other non-democratic countries get stronger
@@partyoverallt MAGAts are going to provoke another civil war too. You guys are gonna need to be much stronger when the US isn't the US any more
Korea equipment is crap, you can try
@@suleestio6686 your allegation is dubious, at best
Korean weapons are proven to be subpar for some time now!
As a Romanian 🇷🇴 I hope my country will bolster its military modernization as well. And I hope we will cooperate with Poland 🇵🇱 to secure our line of the front.
Dude, for me the situation is super funny, whatever our government (PL) buys from military equipment, in a month-two, I see news that Romania buys the same thing haha, something like your government said : "Okay fuck it, let's just buy the same thing as the Poles, they probably know what they are doing". 😂😂 I hope our cooperation will increase, although I still think it is the strongest in the area and we cooperate the most with each other.
Romania is one of the largest spenders in NATO and its modernisation program is also quite ambitious.
@@maxalbon9557 yeah but they still thinking about the K2 😬 that MBT would be excellent for Ro's roughed terrain , i mean yeah Abrams is top of the range but we also need a lighter nimbler tank for the future , all in all CEE needs a strong Poland & Romania to bring stability in this region after the WE have failed decade after decade
Greetings from Poland
Salutări din Polonia, prieteni 🇷🇴♥🇵🇱
Koreans themselves, and I, who leaves this comment, am one of them, do not often realise it, but the partnership with Poland would be one of the remaining great chances for the country not only to boost its economy but also to develop any sort of idea for its grand strategy. Koreans today, just as a Korean expert on international relations screamed in a conference at the CSIS, are "just power-mongering people" without any idea of what's going on. Some arrogant Koreans who are addicted to Germanphilia or Russophilia (sadly, it includes some of my closest friends) tend to neglect Poland's struggle to develop a grand strategy for their country, but it is the very thing Seoul should learn from Warsaw.
As an American I’m very glad Poland is strengthening itself. Such a proud people who’ve been under various empires ensuring never to be conquered again. They took the Russian threat seriously while the west sat by complacent sucking off Putin till recently
Be the strong defender of Eastern Europe you’re destined to be Polska❤️
How does a repeatedly repeated action in the past guarantee that it will not be repeated in the present? I'm not going to invade Poland, I'm just interested in logic.
@@LastChanceTikTokbecause history repeats itself all the time, you’d be a fool to not expect aggression from a regime that constantly invades it’s neighbours, pacts, deals and alliances don’t mean shit when facing nuclear superpower.
@@italianspiderman5012 But most of Russia's wars were aggression from Europe, not Russian ones, you can build up weapons, but don't think that we won't mirror the threats, by the way, remind me who unleashed wars in the world after the collapse of the USSR? seems to be done exclusively by the west, why so?
@@LastChanceTikTok yeah sure buddy, Russians are so innocent, those pesky Ukrainians and Georgians started the wars and poor Russia had to invade their countries, of f*cking course.
As a Lithuanian I think it's time for the whole region to stand together as a block within EU. We can shape European Union policy ourselves. Our unity together would outweigh russophiles in Berlin and Paris
I'm so ashamed that my country (France) is so shy in its support to Ukraine...
Although I think a lot of macron's déclaration were badly translated/understood, as his point seemed to be stronger EU in NATO and "at some point there will be peace talk"; it was just bad diplomacy to say this at this point. Hopefully, future acts will appease these stupid declarations and bring EU together!
@@Leyfandir but he was not wrong, it will end like this.
There may come a time we will need to push back against extreme left from the west too, so yes.
@@maxalbon9557Technically, yes. But everyone knows that's not what he meant.

Love Korea from Poland! 3>
As an American, I appreciate when any of allies decide to step up to the plate.
Korea is basically Asia’s version of Poland
Kinda, China at least has some history of defending Korea since if it ever fell to Japan they knew they were next.
@@rkelypnonu9423They did that like 1 time then proceeded to pillage the country often just as bad as the Japanese. They're like what Russia is to Poland for Korea
Very proud to be Polish-American! Partitioned no longer, Poland will be our shield!
I translate: "Poles will become another meat that we will throw to weaken Russia," it literally sounds like that, do you want to defend yourself? Come and defend yourself, and do not pit nations sitting across the ocean.
@@LastChanceTikTokI agree as a Pole, I would prefer not being an US puppet but also not Russian puppet. Why we must serve a foreign power in their world dominance?
@@uan9166 U don't, but to do this Europe have to become united, because from 20s century the policy in Europe was as follows: "as soon as the country receives help from the United States, and becomes stronger and begins to destabilize Europe," so it was with Germany, France, they received help and, with the help of US dominance in the world, skillfully promoted their interests, parallel to the American ones. In order to destroy the destabilizing US factor, Europe must become a sovereign force, and without Russia's technology, army, resources and population it's impossible, Russia will always deviate from Europe's interests and act in its own interests to fix it, Russia must become a member of the EU and NATO, and the US role in NATO should be deliberately reduced. If this had been done even in the noughties or after the collapse of the USSR, Europe would have been much more powerful, independent and secure. In the meantime, Europe is a satellite of the United States.
@@LastChanceTikTok Russia in Nato? You believe a communist country that is actively trying to run the world through terrorism should join a DEFENCE alliance? You know, the alliance that was created to stop that very thing happening.
As a Slovak, it breaks my heart to hear your comments on Bratislava. Not because you are wrong but because you are correct. I hope we will not follow Hungarians path but with the elections around the corner the possibility is higher than ever.
As a Pole I really can’t understand why some Slovakians are in favor of pro russian politicians
You weren't occupied by Russia enough to learn I guess.
When you fight them 3 times per century for 600 years, perspective is slightly different than when you just spent 45 years as a satellite state.
Russia didn't dismantle your empire, didn't genocide you many times over.
Most of Eastern Europe distrusts Russia but it can't be undone with a right amount of propaganda.
For us, it's been sadly ingrained into our DNA, even more so than resentment for Germany (which quit imperialism and militaristic expansion decades ago).
But even without that, Poland had long periods of peace and even cooperation with Germans at some points in time. Never with Russia, since the beginning of their existence we are enemies. And they didn't, can't change.
We may all be slavs but the wound is too deep to heal easily and Russians keep adding salt to the injury.

Much love to Poland from FL, USA! Beautiful country, beautiful people and now a beautiful military. Don't worry, we know how you took Moscow back in the day and know your potential. Glad to be allies
Fun fact is that not only Poland were an only nation to take Moscow but that was a kind of "fck rus... Let's go" of Polish nobility, during some vodka party. Guys just get fed up and went. During occupation of Moscow they were making soup out of russian books from national archives, since those manuscripts had covers from beef skin. They've walked out like chads back home. This is ruzzians "victory" date. My guess is that they've got bored AF and ran out of alcohol. XD
Greetings from Bulgaria to our friends from Poland, strength is needed and I wish you have it! To slovaks and hungarians - peace to you brothers, let us not fall for the manipulations of foreign agents!
Best regards to you also! I just back from Bułgaria:) great country and People! And nessebar very beauty place!
That's right brother Bulgarians. You know, I think something, most of these comments are written in some offices or holes, by some Englishmen, members of various services. They are used to war, to quarrel and push various peoples and religions, one against the other, so when both yen and others are exhausted, spent, they appear as peacemakers and rob everything that exists. They screwed up and spent a lot of what they stole so they would return to Russia.
Czech here, I am happy to have Poland as neighbour. Together we will deter Russian imperialists and terrorists.
Im from Poland. Dear Czechs, I am happy to have Czechia with us... You are amaizing nation, our true brothers. I love your president.

What about Ukraine? It needs help and manpower. It even opened foreign legion recruitment...
So not going to join Germany in dismembering Czechoslovakia again then?
For Poland the best military strategy would be to help the Belarusian opposition staging a coup and get rid of russian influence in Minsk.
It in da makin 😂
This is right now
Poland could destabilise Belarus but not enough to succeed with a coup d'état on Lukashenko - he's too dug in, has got a body of loyal troops, has now got Nukes positioned directly in Belarus and Russian help would most likely crush all rebellions. This has happened in the past and it did show that his government is desperate to keep their claws on power. Also another issue is that, once the Ukraine war is over, the Russians would have an experienced army under their control - say what you will but since they fought for probably months on the frontlines or trenches they know how everything works. This is to say that Russia would probably launch an Ukrainian-like invasion into Belarus to change government or annex.
@@mabeSc No need to invade Belarus. Legislation is in place for peaceful federalization.
Yeah, but Russia would not allow it. Moscow is too close from the Belarusian border. Another war would break out 100% in Belarus if this happened.

Ever heard of Finland...
@@nenasiek you mean symbol of disintegrating russians? :D
@@nenasiek We heard a lot of nice about Finland. Finnish fought really hard with Soviets in 1939, like Polish were fighting with Nazi Germany. But Finland was more successful. Other nations just gave up.
And now Finland is really well prepared for Muscovite (Russian) invasion. I am happy that Poland and Finland are together in NATO.
@@robertab929 I don't want to take credit from the Finns for fighting the Soviets
but comparing the Winter War with the September Campaign is a big misunderstanding
The Finns fought in better conditions for themselves and fought with one opponent who, in addition, had a mess in the command staff
meanwhile in 1939 Poland was fighting with 2 major powers at once with much smaller forces, and you have to remember that no one in Europe at the beginning of the war was ready for blitzkrieg
As a Romanian, I very much welcome the Polish build up.

As an ukrainian even the word "Poland" became a synonym to word "good".

Pretty sure after celebrating our victory together we'll prosper and will be helping each other for decades.
Lets hope we can come together as allies without foreign powers or radicals putting us against etch other again
@@inzyniertv9305 ofc we will, idk about Poland or other countries but in Ukraine literally everyone view Poland as one of the closest (or the closest) reliable friend of Ukraine and those who think otherwise are viewed by society as crazy or dumb ones. Ukraine survived bc of Poland (and other allies too), I highly doubt there's any realistic reason for these 2 countries to not be closest partners and good friends as we already are. Yeah in the past we had a difficult hisstory and even were enemies, but today I can't I can't name closer allie for Ukraine other than Poland.
@@guidomista5738 It's nice to hear that, especially since many Ukrainians in Poland do not appreciate our help and criticize us😅

@@inzyniertv9305 yes, pretty sure with our forces combined, experience and cooperation together we'll change state of Europe and move its power East. For now it's already true as for military power and after victory it'll also be economically and other ways too. Both countries have huge potential.
Somebody said to me once that I should always remember that freedom is never free. And as a Pole I feel extremely lucky to pay for it with my money and not blood.
For the first time in history, we can pay this way, thanks to Ukraine. And there are still voices that it costs us too much.
For Poles and Ukrainians that message was written with rivers of their blood.Never again!
Britain also 100% supports Poland, I'd say I geopolitically trust Poland and Italy much more than France or Germany at this point
You trust Italy as much as you trust Poland? Have you seen the stats on pro-russian support in Italy lately?
@@nazariimoroz6216You think this is about values?
@@maltemeyer3171 I think that if it was about values then maybe I wouldn’t be worried about Italy as much as I am now. I think it’s about Italy’s current political playground oversaturated by people like Matteo Salvini and Silvio Berlusconi, as well as the country’s tradition of being on the wrong side of history. Even with Ukraine’s current existential war Italy has been somewhat supportive only due to the general pressure from the West. Just two years ago the majority of Italian media were still translating russian narratives about nazis in Ukraine and Poland and NATO’s expansion bulshit.
@@nazariimoroz6216 Oh, I was just comming from the ancle that throwing France and Germany into a pot about anything defence policy related is realy stupid.
@@nazariimoroz6216 Yeh just to clarify I was coming at it from a purely FP angle, so not a representation of my views on any of their domestic politics. As for Italy, yes many of their nationalist leaders have, prior to the war, postured towards Russia. But, I think that the defence contracts they've recently signed with the UK, along with my general perception of the position that Italy is in, makes me more trustworthy of it compared to France (who is essentially going cap in hand to the BRICS) and Germany (who I still feel has a substantial economic inkling towards Russia).
But, you're right I don't trust it as much as Poland (or the Baltic states) whose geopolitical ambitions are more clearly anti-Russian, and pro-NATO.

Poland is becoming Europe's shield and economic success story. As a Canadian, I couldn't be happier. It's long deserved after so many centuries of struggle.
Poland is the most subsidized country in the European Union lol
@@Reynevanie Only for the next few years, then it will be a net contributor to less developed countries, just like Germany or France.
Agreed, but Poland has been a de facto shield for centuries. Since roughly the 1200's Poland and Ukraine (or the city-state of Kiev} were the first places invaders from the east encountered organized armies that stood their ground. Win or lose, invaders paid heavily.
It's been awhile since college, but my recollection is that Mongols in particular eventually judged Poland and Kyiv/Ukraine as too expensive to be worth occupying and maintaining cortrol over and started to go around them.
economic success story lol... 10k lower GDP per capita than Estonia, wich has more than 30-37x smaller population.
i guess wealth of the people is at the expense of upkeeping the military etc..
once Rail Baltic is finished, it will bolster the economies of Poland and Baltics and open new international important trade routes for the region. And in the future Tallinn-Helsinki underwater train tunnel will be gbuilt, wich will connect the rail networks in all of europe, up to like north pole basicly and to Asia ..
Poland is not becoming... but is responsible in Nato for defence of Europe.... EU military power = Germany,Poland,France .. the rest are just auxilliary support...
Its obvious... because Poland would be main target for Russia, and that kalingrad port of russia, would cut off baltic states completely from rail networks, nato cant even transport support to the region... thats why its good that Finland and Swede join Nato , it made Baltic Sea basicly Nato territory , and Gotland will become staging airbase/naval base for nato logistics , Russians would literally blow up poland rail networks immediately when war would start.
Pretty sure there's Polish very high ranked combat fighter jet pilot serving in estonian air force to patrol baltic air space.... or he comes every year volunteerly to train with estonians to the anual "spring storm" and other training events, on his own free time... ; - ) thanks for the service.

As a German, I fully understand Poland‘s apprehension to closer cooperation but I do hope our countries will work together, not against each other. Very interesting video!
Well, tell that to your goverment that deliberetly secured Russian resource monopol at expense and against our warnings and opposition at expense of our security, giving Putin the false idea that he might get away with the invasion while jointly attacking with Russians many polish infrastructure and energy investments from nuclear plants,
transhipment ports, lng terminals and so on.
Same with illegal migrantion sparked mostly by Mama merkel that EU is trying to redistribute instead of fight against, again at expense of our security and despite our opposition.
A good start would be to pay the reparations for leveling Poland flat during the ww2 and using poles as slave force by the very same companies that now contribute to German economy but never paid for their crimes. Otherwise we have little in common.
Stop flirting with Russia, simple as that.
Hope so too from Poland.
@@natanmysli4825 We did. And our democracy is under high pressure bc of that.

Gj Poland!
As a Dane who has always loved visiting my polish brothers. it's nice to see you doing good... wonderful people the poles are :)
Here in Poland there is an ongoing debate about the cost of doing all of this. Here is my take.
Between 1990 and 2021, we increased the country's GDP from $1,731 to $18,000. Almost a 10-fold increase. It only took 30 years - barely one generation of peace and self-determination for the nation. Unfortunately, it won't work when we are a Russian colony from which the oligarchs will drain every penny. It's not the fact that I will have to deny myself a new smartphone that worries me, it's whether my children will not be serf peasants in the Second Soviet Union.
Prosperity and money really like stability and security. And foreign investors like it when their investments are defended by a 300,000-strong army armed with the latest equipment. Samsung will not build a semiconductor factory if there is a high risk that this factory will turn to ashes from Mordor's artillery. Or it will be expropriated by Prigozhin like mines in Africa. If the plan with the Koreans succeeds, we could become an important arms producer. Which may prompt our allies to react more strongly in wartime. It's good to have some practical arguments in addition to the moral ones like "they threaten the supply of your army". The US would throw itself into the fire for Taiwan because of their dominance in semiconductors.

Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła!!!
@mats8375 nicely put, Poland is no stranger to Russia’s aggression. No price can be put on freedom.
Poland (and Czechia) were global leaders in industrial/mechanical manufacturing before being gutted by the Germans then the Soviets.
But in the last 5-10yrs, here in the USA, both countries have become synonymous with top tier European manufacturing. Maybe still behind Germany and Switzerland, but easily matching or surpassing countries such as Spain, France, Italy.
Based solely on my fields of interest, I have seen a massive increase in high end specialty goods coming from there. For example:
• Carbon fiber aircrafts for general aviation (private pilots)
• Professional and consumer hand tools
• Industrial tooling for metal working machines
• Firearms and military defense manufacturing (this is America after all 🔫🇺🇸 lol)
@@lucasglowacki4683 Working with and within the EU, and sometimes pushing it in the right direction is Poland's best option. Believing, with misplaced patriotism and drunk sincerity that Poland can or should go against the EU is foolish, perhaps even suicidal.
I adore Poland and the Polish world view 🇦🇺❤🇵🇱
Military cooperation with South Korea is also an opportunity for Korea to create technical support in the event of a conflict on its own territory. They will not have to rely on others if Poland's military production will be fully compatible with their own.
Dla nas również :)
As an American: I welcome the developments with South Korea and Poland. Our defense industry have been too lax and are losing bids because other countries' companies are willing to offer a fair price. This has been a wake up call to American military industries that competitiveness will triumph, not lobbying.
Further, South Korea and Poland are among our absolute best friends overseas and I couldn't be more glad to see them cooperating. I hope this trend of cooperation deepens and spreads because we Americans don't actually want to fight alone should the worst happen. I also agree that this is a solid first step at fostering a "Western Bloc" in Europe; military industrialization has a way of working miracles when it comes to building out massive supply chains that will be useful for decades to come in more than just military hardware.
Also, it's really delicious seeing the Germans complain about Polish nuclear reactors. It's like Poland is just making American dreams come true; apart from our corporations who don't see the larger picture.
”As an American” 🫢
Do you own stocks in Lockheed Martin or what? I don’t understand why someone would care about the profit margins of the American military industrial complex, it’s frustrating to think that even though trillions of tax dollars flow through the Pentagon to military contractors, they need even more money by signing export deals?!? The older I get the more I realize the extent to which American democracy has been hijacked by the military industrial complex, this country is a vehicle for financing corporations, it hardly represents the American people anymore.
Buying from Korea has American blessing. The USA can not supply tanks fast enough. I think there is American tech on the tank and the USA could veto the purchase if they wanted to.
France and Germany did not let Poland join their new tank development project. The poles also found the Germans to be unreliable partners.

Poland, most based country in Europe
As an American I am tentative but hopeful for Poland's stance in Europe and as a power to improve, tentative only because it will likely end up with some economic conflict with Western Europe, but nothing severe. It makes me hopeful for future Ukraine-Polish cooperation in the future of Eastern Europe and pushing Russian influence, oligarchy, and authoritarianism back into Russia.
Poland has always been a counterbalance to Russia's dominance in Europe. It's amazing that such a small country as Poland has been blocking this juggernaut for hundreds of years. We're doing it again! Will you help America? Lov from Poland

As a Norwegian I prefer Polands direction above France and Germanys. But Walas - how does Scandinavia and Britain come into the geopolitical picture with this central eastern block? I recon there are strong ties between Poland and the UK, and that there are mutual interests in closing these ties to level up more in regards to the weight and dominance of the Paris-Berlin sphere? Anyway, great to follow your series of analysis with these beautiful and orderly graphics.
I don't know about Norway, but Sweden fought many wars with Russia, and Finland was occupied by the Russian Empire and limited by the USSR. This part of the Scandinavians should be interested in cooperation for security.
Intermarium+ (Poland and other Central European countries, Ukraine and Balkans), Nordic Countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark), UK, Canada and US should cooperate to make strong opposition against Muscovy (also called Russia) and help us to create safe place in our region.
It looks like France is changing it policy against Muscovy, but I would not trust them yet. France is crucial in controlling N. Africa.
you are right about the UK. I think this is still in the picture. But the real dream here is intermarum. From the Baltics throughout central Europe down to Greece - a strong group of nations tied economically and morally. That includes Belarus and Ukraine. Region focused on growth and rather a quite conservative mindset culturally.
@@robertab929 TBH I see this as the most viable option for Europe. Western Europe's crime rate is extreme. Especially in Netherlands and France. Europe needs a spark from the east.
Historically scandinavia is a key factor in this geopolitical plan. Main idea of intermarium is to boost trade between south and north of Europe, through Black and Baltic seas. Its whay historiclly Poland supported Denmark agains Sweden, to secure trade roads to open ocean. Nowdays Poland also signed huge contract for gas from Norway. This film focused more on military aspects not economic.
Poland's current military build up is inspiring to me, an American. At one point you said, Poland has in the past paid a heavy price for its weakness. That is a very painful truth, with Poland probably being the nation most damaged by WW2. Today Poland is a Republic and member of NATO. Poland should do everything possible to defend itself today to prevent a repeat of past occupations from ever happening again.

It is so shortsighted of Germany to phase out Nuclear power instead of investing more heavily -- not only would it cut omissions, but it would allow them to break free from the petro-chemical demands they receive from Russia.
Nuclear power is extremely dangerous and should be eliminated everywhere. Germany needs new reliable partners for pedo and other sources of energy. If what happened in Japan, Ukraine in the 80’s and all the other close calls aren’t enough, than look at what’s happening in Ukraine today.
It's not shortsighted, that was a deliberate part of Russo-German collusion, where Germany is energy redistributor to the rest of EU (more dominance for Germany in case of domestic european politics) and Russia that regains "european policeman" status at expense of central and eastern european nations such as Baltics, Poland etc.
Why do you think Germans refused to impose harsh sanctions, they send only 5k helmets while imposing red lines for any heavy equipment, blocked military aid, told Ukrainian delegation that there is no point in helping them and were waiting idle for several months while Putin rolled into Ukraine and demanded withdrawal of Nato out from every country between Germany and Russia? The same reason Nord stream avoided any country in between these two players, the same reason dozen of German wealthy buinsessman and politicians were in many seats high in Russian resource industry and vice versa. The same reason Poland after 2008 visit in invaded Georgia, opposing this slowly approaching threat loudly was ridiciuled for years, meanwhile both Russian and German msm, envouiremental activists and politicians were attacking such investments like LNG gas terminals, eu friendy pipeline with the nords and many, many more, remember msm crusade about xenophobic, russophobic, racist, facist Poland thrown without any thought for years? Yeah...
Don't be naive, Germans changed their policy towards Ukraine once they realized they became the fifth column, and went with the flow to avoid total political suicide and finger pointing that was going on for months.
All that becouse Putin misscalculated both Ukrainian strenght and influence that many countries accumulated and actively used to force western partners to act.
Germany chosen the future with Russia as a partner that can be civilised but at expense of many nations it borders, for more German dominance in europe. That backfired but German naivity? please that is just a lie.
They already pretty much broke free from it, since 2023 Poland has actually imported more petro chemical products from Russia then Germany
@@alexanderrose1556 Small thing comparing German imports from Russia basicly grew from 100 to 150% in most crucial imports also these banned just via countries like Kazahstan ;)So no, Germany did not broke from it, just found a backdoor. Meanwhile Poland is doing what it can to break with anything Russian thos deal with saudi aramco is in process to cut what you are talking about.
@@alexanderrose1556 Not to mention Germany also increse exports to Russia via CIS countries as one outlet states: "These numbers imply that Germany is providing items to Russia via parallel import in order to avoid sanctions. Chemical product exports to Kazakhstan, for example, increased by 129%, while exports to Armenia increased by 110%. Similarly, German electrical products deliveries to Armenia and Uzbekistan climbed by 344% and 105%, respectively. Furthermore, the export of metal items to Kazakhstan (137%) and clothes (88%) increased.
According to the Eastern Committee of the German Economy, automotive and replacement parts exports from Germany to Kazakhstan ramped up by 507% in 2022, and to Armenia by 761%.
The European Union's special delegate on sanctions, David O'Sullivan, is said to be concerned about the increase in German exports to CIS nations."

Superb production as always, GTBT! Very informative.
Mad respect Poland
It's nice to see Poland maturing into a regional power!
With France more concerned with orchestrating a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine to maintain their own relationship with Russia, and with Germany acting like a child, only willing to follow where others lead, Europe is desperately in need of a strong new power to unite and organize the smaller nations, especially in the east.
Poland, if they can afford it, is the perfect country to do this. They will never grovel to, or fear Russia like France and Germany, and they are more interested in strengthening and building alliances instead of trying to outmaneuvering their own allies.
It seems like the mantel of defenders of democracy will be carried by nations like Japan and South Korea in the east against China, and England and Poland in the west against Russia...
and of course the United States wherever they can sail a carrier strike force or fly a Stealth bomber, so pretty much anywhere.
Lol, England as the defender of democracy? I would love it to see, when the Scotts the Welsh and the North Irelanders would finally come to us for good, and make a stronger Europe, while England can defend democracy. Fun fact, their first thing after WWII was to deport back every single polish fighter pilot who fought for them in the battle of England back to commie Poland. They didnt even let them to participate on the victory parade.
We (the US) also like increased alignment between European allies (Poland) and Asian allies (South Korea).
As a French-Brazilian, I find your perspective intriguing, particularly as it offers a much-needed equilibrium of influence both within Europe and the wider region. Furthermore, the inclusion of South Korea appears to be a strategic move, not only fostering a strong partnership but also bolstering its own regional power alongside Japan.
Poland has a grand history of being bullied by and standing up to bullies from North, South, East, and West. It is as much the heart of Europe as Germany is, and I would very much like to see them stand up for themselves once more.
Don't be beholden to the imperious EU or the 1,000-year Anglo-French cultural dominance.

Thanks for another great piece of analysis on the bigger picture around the war in Ukraine.
I am glad to see Poland finally standing up for itself and taking control of its future. I would like to see the UK (where I am from), join Poland, the Baltics and Ukraine be far more assertive towards belarus and russia.
As a Romanian, I think this war has showed that Western EU countries are passive, shy and unable to make decisive decisions. Their policies and actions are almost lethargic I would say. It is like the entire current generation of Western politicians is weak, compared to their grandfathers from the decades after WW2. It has become clear that Eastern Europe has to create a block within EU (or why not separate), with US, UK and South Korea as strategic partners. Not only we will secure the region for the decades to come, but also this is what will drive economic growth - the highest in the EU and one of the highest in the Western world in general. The future looks promising! We have to take it one step at a time. Next step? Help Ukraine get a decisive victory over Russia and effectively demilitarize that secular regime of destruction.
Poland seems to have forgotten lesson of WW2.
If Poland joins Ukraine war, it will get only death and destruction.
"create a block within EU (or why not separate)" because you are nothing without the EU just because Poland is spending some money do not forget your place
@@Honking_Goose Your comment is foolish, empty-headed and lacks any foresight. Are you familiar with the concept of capital formation? CEE economies formed lots of capital driven by Western EU investments of the last 2-3 decades, just as Western EU countries formed their capital aided by the US huge investment plans (e.g. Marshall after WW2). It is a natural basic process of free economies. This is how the world works. Being nostalgic for "the good old times" helps no one. Taking action and making thoughtful plans does.
The highest in the EU.. precisely because of the EU. And those rich western European nations pumping money east.
The way you speak of breaking up the EU and basically being hostile to exactly the nations that built your country up disgusts me. Treachery is universally frowned upon.
Poland is in my blood. I trust them. I trust them to protect us now we are getting old. I trust their judgement. At this point. Poland has been Europes effing whipping boy, for a long time. Maybe its time for a new power. A power that is fair. A power that has the humility that is only learned through personal loss. Thanks.

The ironic thing about this statement is that Poland is actually deepening its alliance with the US, binding itself to America for decades to come with these new purchases and maintenance deals, and by cutting deals with what is basically an American protectorate (South Korea), and allowing an entire American command to be stationed in their nation. They are becoming stronger by growing closer to America.
The 2nd cold war is based further east this time, and the western Europeans (excluding the UK) seem less willing and less important in the new struggle. Nations like Japan and Korea hold the eastern front against China, just as Poland and Ukraine hold the west against the Neosoviets. That is where America will focus it's attention (and money) as time goes on.
All that being said, even Americans are glad when European countries decrease their reliance on the US military umbrella, most anti European sentiment in the US comes from the perception that the Europeans either can't or won't protect themselves, so military buildup in friendly nations is usually very well received here.
Germany should first repay the reparations for the Second World War to Poland, while France cannot even chase the shit out of its own country and a war with Russia is futuristic for you. Quite simply, you are all afraid!

Poland knows it's geography and history. Just 25 years after communism and Poland is approaching German levels of wealth and productivity sans real democracy.
Poland could easily turn Baltics, Ukraine and much of Eastern Europe into a sphere of influence with Germany and France as an opposing axis after the Russian threat goes quiet. US cannot afford to manage both Europe & Asia. Political and historical realities make any sort of EU/NAFTA union, unfortunately, impossible. UK can't even be wedged in even with Canada present. This means Poland and France will be responsible for maintaining the continent with UK managing balance of power as has been its historical role.
A strong Europe outside As American order will be a menace instead of significant help in Asia. Only UK can be relied on
