Actually the best way to ensure our safety is taking Ukraine, Belorus and some caucasian states from the 'Russian zone' to Europe - I believe I will see that happening myself. The final phase of all those 150+ years of effort.
That should bring back the balance of power from mid XVIIth century.

Germany is no real danger to Poland - Prussia is dead and buried, and the state of Germany lost all wars waged against us anyway. Historically they were as dangerous as Swedes or Czechs, while the eastern borders burned for five centuries without a pause.

I fact it is clearly the best time since 1635 and relationship with Russia is the best in the whole history.


The missile shield itself is of little concern - it could be anything else as long as the USA will have a strong reason to protect it and we can get substantial profit . It should help moving us from NATO 'wild borderlands' to the protected zone, something Western Germany managed to achive after it joined.

The USA as an ally is not perfect, but except our eastern and southern neighbours who are too weak nobody else is trustworthy - France is totally useless, the UK uncertain and tends to sacrifice its allies' territory and independence , while Spain, Italy and the rest is too far and too weak. Germany can be great when fighting the East - even despite this sado-masochistic love of Russia, but 'hardly useful' if itself causes the danger (unlikely, but never say never).

So basically attract the USA, keep Germany under controll and grab as many independent states from the 'Russian zone' as possible for our and its own good - they can get rich on its own and expanding to Ukraine tends to support their silly imperialism which always results in an implosion and chaos.
