Poland: We need our own nuclear weapons

Poland needs its own nuclear weapons, according to Polish President Karol Nawrocki. “We should pursue the path toward developing our own Polish nuclear potential—in compliance with all international regulations, of course,” Nawrocki said in an interview with Polsat television on Sunday. “We must create the conditions necessary to work toward this goal. We are a country on the brink of armed conflict.” Poland plans to start building its first nuclear power plant in 2028. This East European nation, overrun by Russia in World War ii, has taken drastic actions since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, more than doubling its spending on conventional military weapons. It is part of nato and an ally of the nuclear-armed United States, but statements like Nawrocki’s show that the Poles no longer trust American nuclear protection. The late Herbert W. Armstrong forecast during the Cold War that Poland would break from the Soviet Union and contribute its military might to German-dominated Europe.
