Janice, the Polish have a more acute awareness of the dangers from Russia that can be a lesson for America and the Biden administration -- the Baltic states offer the same.
Simultaneously, Poland is a worrying partner for the EU and America because it has wandered in Hungary's direction of not-so-free elections and quasi-democracy.
This increases anxiety over offering Ukraine NATO and EU entry that Ukraine will become another Poland, Hungary, or worse.
America's most important partners in Europe remain Germany and France.
Many thanks. Best.
