Any nation existing for centuries between Russia and Germany is bound to develop an ingrained awkward streak. Such a characteristic is essential lest it be 'squidged' into non-existence. Poland is the perfect example, as the dim, dumb European hegemony is becoming aware as it tries to inflict its bullying ways on what it thinks are its vassal states. Big mistake when it comes to 'plucky, little Poland'! Apparently the Brussels mafia is attempting to claim the right to financially penalise any EU member state who fails to abide by EU standards. Who decides what these 'standards' are, why, the Brussels apparat, of course!
Is there anyone in Britain who fails to be grateful to the majority of British 'Peeps' who had the intelligence and the guts to vote to walk out of that evil hegemony? God knows, we have made some colossal errors in our history but from time to time we get things right. Jolly good show!
Sounds like rugged little Poland consents to be governed on their terms and not ruled by the terms of others? We Americans are at the point of making the same choice it appears.

Poland is plucky if by that you mean illiberal, backward, and authoritarian. Sure you want to join them?
