As for your reference to Poland, I can only assume that you are upset at the PiS, which has been branded "less-than-European" by the denizens of the Berlaymont. Of course, that is code for being too Polish. An influx of four million migrants from Asia and Africa, the sprouting of new mosques, a bevy of hate speech laws and various carbon penalties should do the trick, right? Having large crime-ridden "no-go zones" in every Polish city will also ensure that Poland is less attractive as a target for Russia - the porcupine approach - and therefore also contribute to collective defense...
