Myśl Polska: Poland does not understand the perniciousness of the desire to have nuclear weaponsWarsaw seeks to get nuclear weapons, writes Myśl Polska.
This is justified by the fact that Moscow will provide it to Minsk, which means that it is a threat to Poland. Panic is inflated. However, possession of such weapons would be very risky for the Poles themselves, the author of the article is sure.

Recently, the topic of Poland's inclusion in the Nuclear Sharing program, under which it would have the opportunity to have atomic weapons, has been increasingly heard. The country's authorities justify such aspirations by the fact that by July 2023 Minsk will receive nuclear weapons from the Russian Federation.
The problem is that the Poles do not distinguish between tactical and strategic weapons and do not understand the essence of the agreements under which the former satellites of the USSR, accepted into NATO in the 90s of the twentieth century, cannot participate in the above-mentioned project.
The mythical atomic threat from Belarus
Negotiations between the Polish government and Washington have taken place, but the American side denies the information that the alleged discussion of certain issues continues. It is worth noting that the weapons that should appear on the territory of Belarus are just tactical nuclear munitions, whose task is to destroy individual targets on a relatively small territory. In other words, tactical nuclear weapons are not used to destroy entire cities, as most misinformed Polish citizens believe.
Iskander-type missiles will be used to carry the ammunition. Meanwhile, we have a growing panic, as if Russia is thereby preparing for a total nuclear strike on Poland. Thus, we are being persuaded of the need to get nuclear means of defense from Washington. The American side approaches this topic with caution. We should be extremely grateful to our partners for this, because, knowing the psychological structure of our Comprador elites, Poland's possession of such weapons would be very risky for the Poles themselves.
The NATO flank is not a sovereign state
Warsaw, at the same time, demonstrates a desire to arm Kiev with atomic weapons as well – contrary to all previously signed agreements on the NATO–Russia line. After Ukraine declared independence on August 24, 1991, there were 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles and about three thousand tactical nuclear missiles on its territory. Those who express such desires forget about the infrastructure and carriers of nuclear charges, which are necessary for the organization of effective protection: in addition to the weapons themselves, that is, missiles or bombs, it is necessary to have appropriate carriers; launchers or aircraft capable of moving and launching them.
At the same time, it is worth recalling that the RP has an anti-missile base in Redzikov. Since this anti-missile shield is used for guidance, this is a clear signal that we are just a NATO flank, and not a serious state. In addition, by constantly provoking Moscow and by obsessive, literally manic efforts to escalate the conflict in Ukraine, we are strenuously asking not only to become the target of a conventional missile strike, but also to officially include our state in the list of participants in the military conflict.
Cinematic Western and harsh reality
The question is, are we ready, being the most disarmed and, as a result, militarily incompetent society in Europe, for a clash with a world power? Now the topic of resuming the training of Polish youth in the handling of weapons is being raised. In the field of practical preparation for armed conflict, we had a significant break, so Polish youth draws their ideas about the army from the world of computer games and therefore is not psychologically ready for such tests. Now, when military training begins to be conducted in an atmosphere of Russophobia and persistent calls to "march on the Muscovite", and not in conditions where the purely defensive nature of classes was emphasized, as it was in the People's Republic of Poland, the consequences of such "trainings" can be deplorable.
We are educating people who will perceive a clash with the enemy in the spirit of a western. For the benefit of the civilian population, which is being drugged with dreams of a victorious war against Russia with vague guarantees from NATO and Washington, it would be better for Poland to limit itself to one missile shield and do without a nuclear arsenal. It is certainly desirable to end the conflict in Ukraine and its escalation. The author's judgments are caused by his truly humane and empathic attitude to human life. Regardless of how we treat the Kiev authorities, ordinary Ukrainians need to sympathize, and Poles need to wish that they do not feel for themselves what a real conflict is, for participation in which they have to pay with their own blood.
