Soviet Russia STARTED WWII together with Germany. They agreed it with Germans. Soviets attacked Poland on 17th September 1939. Their army and tanks crossed Polish border. Then they shook hands with Germans and proceeded to annex Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland Then NKVD proceeded to exterminate Polish military officers and intelligentsia during the Katyń Massacre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre The goal was to destroy Polish state. > Do you really believe being hostile to Russia will somehow be benefitial to Poland in the longer term? We deal with the Russia the way it is. Not the way we would want it to be. Russia is hostile towards us first and foremost. And personally, I wouldn't be more happy if Russians had the balls to clean up their mess. Kick Putin and his siloviki out and start normal productive participation in the world. > why single out Russia? Because Russia is waging a freaking war with Ukraine right now and threatening nuclear holocaust to Poland?! Like WTF?!

> The goal was to destroy Polish state. Are you sure? From your link: "The reason for the massacre, according to the historian Gerhard Weinberg, was that Stalin wanted to deprive a potential future Polish military of a large portion of its talent". Also, if they wanted to destroy the Polish state, they probably would have then as Poland had no way to defend itself at the time. > Because Russia is waging a freaking war with Ukraine right now and threatening nuclear holocaust to Poland?! > Like WTF?! Exactly. If you believe Russia is threatening nuclear holocaust and has an agenda to destroy all Poles for whatever reason, I can see how you would be prepared to do anything in your power to destroy them, perhaps kill off every one in their country, because that would be justified if your aprehensions are true. That makes me scared for the future of Europe because this sort of hatred is bound to, one day, blow up again, sooner than most think (as it's doing now in Ukraine).
