As he said, the only language that the Russians understand is an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Stefan Meller in his lack of illusions about the Russians was, if not lonely, then certainly in the minority.
A few years later, like him, the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan thought about Russia. As a result, when the Russian bombarding fighter violated the Turkish airspace, he was immediately shot down. The Russians of the Turkish message understood because the Turks spoke to them in the only language they know. The only language known to the Russians is – let's explain – the language of strength, retaliation, revenge and violence.
Poland must respond to Russia to its provocation so that what we want to tell them to the Russians.
So you have to speak to them in the language of strength, retaliation, revenge and violence. There are many scenarios of our answer. You can learn from the Russians by the way, who for years used the phrase: “an asymmetrical answer”.
Perhaps the Polish drone should fall in the Kaliningrad region to the field or element of Russian infrastructure. You can also use the actions of the Russians as an excuse to introduce additional economic sanctions. How exactly we answer is not really important. The point is for the Russians to hurt more than us – only then can we hope that there will be no further escalation.
The most important thing in all of this is that we – before we answer the Russians – answer ourselves the question of how to achieve just mentioned just a moment ago, the basic assumption. Our answer is to hurt them, not us. To Russian provocation Unfortunately, we must also respond to us and more broadly the entire West. The thing is to make ours answer It was, not as it often happens in Poland, hot and thoughtless, and cold, calculated, cynical and pharmacy measured.
So it's not about responding spectacularly or in a way that will give us satisfaction.
The Russians are certainly observing our Polish -Polish Cold Civil War. This morning on Telewizja Republika, former Minister of National Defense Antoni Macierewicz literally in the first seconds of his speech for what had happened, in burden the current government.
Seeing this, the Russians can count on the fact that the government, acting under the pressure of people as extremely petty as Macierewicz, will react nervously, hurriedly and irresponsibly. Irresponsible, let's explain, it will not even be the hardest – perhaps even kinetic – the answer.
An irresponsible will be every answer that we will not determine with our allies and which will weaken us in NATO.
