Polish Foreign Minister: An Alliance With the United States "Isn't Worth Anything"

Enemies shall be treated as friend and friends as enemies.

A Polish magazine said Sunday it has obtained recordings of a conversation in which Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski says the country's strong alliance with the U.S. "isn't worth anything" and is "even harmful because it creates a false sense of security."

In a short transcript of the conversation, a person identified as Sikorski by the magazine Wprost tells former finance minister, Jacek Rostowski, that Poles naively believe the U.S. bolsters their security. Using vulgar language, the person argues that such beliefs are nonsense, and that the Polish-U.S. alliance alienates the Russians and Germans.

...

In the past he was a strong supporter of the United States, though he has become more critical of Washington in recent years.

We have no credibility any longer.
