Poland’s foreign minister says the presence of NATO forces “is not unthinkable” and that he appreciates the French president for not ruling out that idea.
Radek Sikorski made the observation during a discussion marking the 25th anniversary of Poland’s accession to NATO in the Polish parliament Friday, and the Foreign Ministry tweeted the comments later in English.
They reflect a larger European debate over how to help Ukraine as Russia has gained some momentum on the battlefield and Kyiv is running low on ammunition. The U.S. Congress is withholding aid that Ukraine says it critically needs to hold off the Russians, putting more pressure on Europe to respond to the war that has shattered peace on the continent.
Last month French President Emmanuel Macron said the possibility of Western troops being sent to Ukraine could not be ruled out, a comment that broke a taboo among allies and prompted an outcry from other leaders. French officials later sought to clarify Macron’s remarks and tamp down the backlash, while insisting on the need to send a clear signal to Russia that it cannot win its war in Ukraine.
The Kremlin has warned that if NATO sends combat troops, a direct conflict between the alliance and Russia would be inevitable. Russian President Vladimir Putin said such a move would risk a global nuclear conflict.
Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk was among those European leaders who initially ruled out sending troops to Ukraine after Macron’s remarks, saying: “Poland does not plan to send its troops to the territory of Ukraine.”
But less than two weeks later Sikorski struck a different tone.
“The presence of #NATO forces in Ukraine is not unthinkable,” he said, according to the Foreign Ministry’s tweet. He said he appreciated Macron’s initiative “because it is about Putin being afraid, not us being afraid of Putin.”
Sikorski’s remark is part of a broader shift to align with Macron’s position, wrote Phillips O’Brien, professor of strategic studies at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland.
“The issue of sending European forces to help Ukraine was never one to be dismissed — it was always a possibility,” O’Brien wrote in an email analysis sent to subscribers Saturday. “In fact it has become more of one as the USA has stepped back and withdrawn aid. Europe is now faced with a terrible dilemma — watching Ukraine potentially run out of ammunition, or stepping in and helping Ukraine more directly.”
Polish President Andrzej Duda and Tusk will travel to Washington for a meeting at the White House on Tuesday, a visit the Poles hope they can use to spur the United States to do more to help Ukraine.
Poland is a member of NATO along the alliance’s eastern flank, with Ukraine across its eastern border. The country has been under Russian control in the past, and fears run high that if Russia wins in Ukraine, it could next target other countries in a region that Moscow views as its sphere of interest.
The usual Nazi lies, when over 30,000 serving Polish soldiers slipped into Nazi UKrainian uniforms.
Biden is another Nazi liar.
What we see is the Nazis playing bluff, and the Taurus leak demonstrates there are loose cannons in NATO, even if the Nazi witch has been forced out.
We are in seriously big false flag territory, and a tactical nuke blamed on Russia is what Nazi Britain would like to do.
Maybe the Russians can make a list of all the politicians and other coward clowns that can not wait to send others into their certain death.
Poland & ZATO being obliterated is ALSO “not unthinkable”… 🙄
Lithuania was important in setting Poland against Russia in the 1300s, and was the last country in Europe to go Christian: Jos Rogiers thought this was for Nordic reasons, but it was also for Jewish reasons. As usual, the Jews are found at the root of a conflict
Radek Sikorski is married to the Jewish neocon and Russophobe Anne Applebaum, and sadly they made two Jewish children together.
ZWOG can’t wait to get the rest of the white European males involved & liquidated along with the white Ukrainians.

Insane. For the simple fact that Russia would kick their asses six ways from Sunday!
Are western “Leaders” (Rothschild Agents) really that ill-informed to think they could take on Russia?? Meanwhile, their Generals are wetting their pants at the thought. Don’t they know the weapons Russia has? Aren’t they aware of Russia’s industrial capacity, or their military?
Talk about Delusional! “Russia can’t win in Ukraine”. LOL!! Also, Russian allies China & Iran, not to mention states like Belarus would support Russia 100%. Also, Russia can shoot down incoming ballistic missiles, western countries can’t and are sitting ducks.
Jewry is totally behind this Russian animus. They will get us all Nuked; better than living under the NeoBolshevik Marxist Jew jackboot.
