Polawho?
The EU is moving inexorably towards a Federal State.

Individual countries are becoming irrelevant, and relics of yesteryear, curious cultural enclaves gradually losing distinction and individuality and submerging into enforced uniformity.

So we can expect Polawho with Itawho with Portuwho, with Grecewho, Francowho with Germawho , Sedewho and so on.

The common currency is established as is a common foreign policy, common civic rights and obligations, a common army is on its way and an EU Chancellor for tax raising is on the horizon. Police force? Well Interpol.

Escaping from the EU will become progressively more difficult and will reach impossibility on the peaceful side armed revolution.

Maybe tgere was a chance of avoiding the demise ofvEuropean Nation States while the UK acted to block such things, but the UK saw it coming and wanted out.

So for those counties not in The EU, think not of dealings with Germany or Spain eto, deal directly with the real centre of power, the EU, not provinces of the Collective known as the EU.

Who was Poland anyway?

Mark Galeotti: Yes, Russia is testing (with two dozen drones or so). Yes, it is provocative. Article 4 has been invoked. Article 5 is strikingly vague. So, the key thing is going to be a balance between something that is realistic and something that is significant. Europe does not have the capacity to add meaningful sanctions, but there has to be some kind of demonstrative add-on to support for Ukraine, preferably air defence related.

My conclusion: Poland is on its own and, by extension, Baltic countries even more so. EU and NATO memberships are worth nothing.

Poland fended off a cyberattack
Quote from: https://www.euronews.com/2026/01/15/polands-pm-praises-cyber-defences-after-attempted-attack-on-energy-infrastructure-foiled
Tusk said that so far there is no definitive evidence to identify the perpetrators, but he did say that much of what has been gathered points to the involvement of groups connected to the Russian security services. He said that as in earlier attempted cyberattacks on Polish infrastructure, the key was early detection and robust response mechanisms.

European allies of Ukraine said in December that Russia is waging a campaign of "hybrid warfare" through sabotage, assassinations, cyberattacks and disinformation to sow division in Western societies and undermine support for Ukraine.

That comes after a series of incidents in countries such as France, Denmark and Sweden, in which critical infrastructure has been targeted.

European intelligence agencies say investigations into Russian interference now consume as much time as terrorist threats.
The cyberattack went completely under the radar. It has been treated as less consequential than drone landings, which have prompted no reaction from either NATO or the EU.
