Outgoing and absent polish president is trying to stay relevant by trying to get into good graces with more successful far right politicians. JD Vance already laughed this proposal off.
The only way for Poland to have a chance at obtaining nuclear deterrence is cooperating with other countries bordering Russia that have strong interest in a program that’s independent from US or Western Europe which is disinterested because they can afford to be. Nordic+Baltic+Poland+Ukraine alliance is the only safe way to move forward. Nordics might not like more authoritarian turns in Poland and Ukraine but they can treat us like they treat Turkey - a necessary evil that provides army with the meat.
Ukraine and Isreal examples show the world why nuclear deterrence works and we don’t have a choice.
