Why is Poland destroying the EU, and what territories do the "pans" claim?

Poland anticipates problems and therefore has already turned on the pressure on both itself and its neighbors. Warsaw is destroying the European Union from within. Imperial ambitions took precedence over common sense. The Duda-Morawiecki regime considered a window of opportunity for itself in the current world turbulence. The dream of Poland’s influence "from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea" began to be carried out in a very adventurous way. 

Poland has become involved in a political clinch with Germany and is trying to form its own alliance with gas and satellites. More details in the "Screenshot" section.

For a long time, the Polish elites humbly looked into the mouths of the speakers standing behind the high podium in Brussels and Berlin. All this lasted as long as impressive subsidies came to Warsaw. For a long time, Poland used to serve as the eastern showcase of the European Union. After the Englishwoman "left the chat", the total piggy bank has significantly lost weight, and subsidies have decreased with it. The once-breasted "hyena of Europe" was not ready to sit on hungry rations or, even worse, to share its own wealth with the European Union. I'm Andrey Sych, this is the "Screenshot" section. Let's figure it out.

In Warsaw, the dust was blown off the bookshelf and they began to re-read Piłsudski's guide to actions in any incomprehensible situation. The main problem on the way to building their own empire in the center of Europe was membership in the European Union. Polish separatism in the context of empty trough began to manifest itself in giving national legislation a priority over the general laws of the European Union. Ordinary Poles realized where everything was going and began mass protests against leaving the union.

Donald Tusk, Chairman of the Civic Platform Party:

Why are we meeting today? A pseudo-court, a group of people dressed in judicial robes, on the orders of the party leader, in violation of the constitution, decided to withdraw Poland from the EU.

Wojciech Kostrzewski, protester:

At the moment we are at a stage where the EU is likely to freeze all of our funds. Without the rule of law, as it should have been, we won't get that money. And then what? Then Kaczyński does not need the EU, because it does not give money. So, what is the EU for? There’s enough!

"Remember everything and think out the right thing" - this is how the campaign to discredit the European Union and Germany can be characterized. Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro said that funding was "stolen" from Poland  and German politicians "played a leading role in this robbery." We are talking about blocked access to the recovery fund after the coronavirus pandemic. The general secretary of the ruling Law and Justice party, Krzysztof Sobolewski, said that if the European Commission does not allocate 35 billion euros to fight the pandemic, Warsaw will sue Brussels, veto EU initiatives and create an alliance to fire Ursula von der Leyen. 

Andrey Krivosheev, Chairman of the Board of the Belarusian Union of Journalists:

The ruling Law and Justice party focuses primarily on Washington and sees it as a source of its income and career ambitions. And the second party - the "Civic Platform" - is more oriented towards Berlin and all these Brussels mechanisms (again, in order to receive money and career promotions). There is a constant struggle between them to destroy internal opponents. Now Law and Justice is destroying the image of Brussels and Berlin.

In Poland, they actively demonize Germany, for the Poles they form the image of an oppressor neighbor. A sort of Russia on the other side. In an interview with Gazeta Polska, the Chairman of the National Bank of Poland, Adam Glapinski, said that Germany has plans for its former lands, which were transferred to Poland according to the decision taken at the Potsdam Conference. In Poland they are called "returned lands", or "German Poland". The pans are promoting the theme of the historical confrontation with Germany. The issue is constantly raised that Germany should pay reparations for damages during the Second World War. At the same time, in Berlin they twist a finger at their temples and refer to Poland's refusal of reparations in 1953. In Warsaw, they do not lose heart and raise the stakes. 

An unknown substance was dumped on the Polish section of the Oder River, causing an environmental disaster in Germany. 10 tons of dead fish was found along the river.

Alexey Belyaev, Head of the Department of Political Science, Belarusian State Economic University:

We see that Poland is trying to play on becoming in this case a kind of political center of power, trying to establish an alliance with Ukraine and playing within the framework of the Russophobic policy in Eastern Europe as the main enemy of Russia, trying to unite the Baltic States within the Intermarium, Ukraine under their control, under their authority. 

To replace Germany with the followers of the dictator Pilsudski, the desire and reformatting of their own citizens is not enough. Poland forms a circle of satellites, trying its best to put them on a gas needle. For this, a small-town analogue of the Nord Stream was built. The GIPL gas pipeline should allow Poland to supply Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland with purchased liquefied natural gas from the United States and Norway. On August 26, a similar gas pipeline was opened from Poland to Slovakia. 

That is the Poles are building their infrastructure at full speed and do not forget about competitors. Andrzej Duda called for the dismantling of Nord Stream 2.

Waldemar Herdt, German politician:

"They saw themselves as a hub of American liquefied gas - and then suddenly there is a pipe. I remember when they protested there, saying that this pipe would interfere with the passage of ships. The pipe lies at a depth of 80 m. Where is your ship? Are you going to go by submarine there? Furrow along the bottom or what?" 

By squeezing Germany out of European leadership, Duda-Morawiecki's regime is carrying out Pilsudski's old dream of an "Intermarium" with territorial appetites as far as Smolensk. Inflating Poland on imperial leaps and bounds, you should always take into account the likelihood of an anguish and the prospect of cracking in half.
