DefenceSynergia says bravo to the words of the Polish Foreign Minister at the UN recently and hopes they will to be read and digested widely.
They are clear and statesmanlike and deserve our respect even if the Russian President cannot grasp the concept of a free world governed under international law!
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski’s words at a Recent United Nations Security Council meeting:
"To the representatives of Russia, I have this to say: we know you don't care for the international law and you are incapable of living in peace with your neighbours. Your insane nationalism contains a lust for domination that will not cease until you realize that the age of empires is over, and that your empire will not be rebuilt.
Every drone strike by the heroes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - may God bless them - brings this day closer.
Your 'three-day Special Military Operation' can't even conquer Donbas for ten years now. But the potential for criminal, catastrophic Russian mistakes is still there.
By ordering mobilization in 1914, you precipitated the start of World War I, which bled Europe white, and led to your Bolshevik revolution.
By signing the Hitler-Stalin pact, you helped launch World War II - the bloodiest in history.
By Sovietising central Europe, you caused the Cold War. Don't start another one.
We are peaceful democracies who have studiously avoided actively joining your attempt to re-conquer Ukraine. But we will not be intimidated.
I have only one request to the Russian government: if another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission -
deliberately or 'by mistake' - and gets shot down, and the wreckage falls on NATO territory, please don't come here to whine about it. You have been warned. Thank you."
