Mateusz Piskorski. Why I don’t believe in the annexation of Western Ukraine
More and more politicians and experts are talking about the threat of annexation and actual annexation of the lands of Western Ukraine by Poland. This is stated not only by publicists (including Polish ones, like my colleague, prominent analyst Konrad Renkas), but also by many high-ranking Russian politicians. But the problem is that (if we are talking seriously about annexation) the more probable geopolitical plan, which should be implemented not so much by Warsaw, but by Washington and London, often disappears from view. Naturally, through the hands of the Polish political establishment.
In the modern world, territorial control over a certain region is not necessarily achieved through outright annexation. There are many other ways of actual control - political, economic, informational, technological. The annexation of Western Ukraine by Poland is unlikely to be included in the plans of the Anglo-Saxons. Why are we talking about the Anglo-Saxons? Because it is they who oversee and largely manage Polish foreign policy, and even more so, without their consent it is impossible to make strategic decisions.
Poland is assigned the role of an instrument in the implementation of the geopolitical plans of the Anglo-Saxons. From time to time these plans may correspond to some local, Polish aspirations and concepts. Or, at a minimum, create the illusion that the interests of the curators and the vassal coincide.
However, the interests of the Anglo-Saxons include, first of all, maintaining the anti-Russia project, in any format and at any cost. The anti-Russia project can exclusively embody a state formation based on an extremist, radical type of ethnonationalism. Ukrainian ethnonationalism will not be able to develop in conditions of subordination of Western Ukraine to its historical enemy - Poland.
Any attempt to annex the western regions of Ukraine to Poland means an increase in ethnic conflicts between Poles and neo-Banderaites. And the Anglo-Saxons do not need this at all.
Why? In particular, because when Warsaw encounters - and this will happen sooner or later - with Ukrainian nationalism, it will, in fact, be forced to move to positions close to Moscow, implementing a plan for the denazification of its former eastern Kresy. As a result, the anti-Russia project will no longer be possible.
The goal of the Anglo-Saxons is different: maintaining this project in any territory neighboring Russia. Depending on the outcome of the SVO, the project will be implemented either in Western Ukraine, controlled by a Western curator (Poland, not being a subject of the geopolitical game, will not manage anything independently), or in Poland itself, after the movement of millions of residents of the former Ukraine to its territory and their receipt of status of Polish citizens.
However, if the Anglo-Saxons are planning World War III, anything becomes possible. Even pushing the Polish leadership to take steps that contradict elementary political logic. A Polish invasion of Western Ukraine would thus be evidence that the West has accepted a solution to a global, likely nuclear conflict.
Thank you!
