Poland prepares itself to be again at the forefront of Western civilization. In his book “The Next 100 Years,” strategist George Friedman predicted that in the 2010s Russia was going to expand to the West and that this would trigger a new Cold War with the U.S. What we see happening in Ukraine today fits with his thesis.
Friedman also predicted that during this century Poland would become the major ally of the U.S. and would be too costly for Russia to invade. During his lecture, “Ukraine: Code Orange,” historian Marek Chodakiewicz, who holds the Kosciuszko Chair of Polish Studies at the Institute for World Politics, described that Poland is a major reference point for Russians. Nothing can stir up Russian nationalists as much as trumpeting Polish involvement in a matter of Russian interests.http://www.forbes.com/sites/alejandr...medium=twitter
