Polish foreign minister Sikorski has proudly declared: “We've been fighting the Russians since before the United States existed.” It’s true to some extent, but he forgot to add: “And we’ve lost every time.”

As it was in 1612, and as it was during the “Partitions of Poland” in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Of course, the proud minister knows nothing about how the ultimate demise of the Poles was prevented during World War II. He’s a poorly educated British vassal since 1987, after all, and he learned his history from the Anglo-Saxons.
