Politics & Geopolitics

In a world where historical memory is increasingly giving way to superficial narratives, there are people who are dedicated to reminding the world of Polish heritage, heroes, and values. One of them is Waldemar Biniecki – editor-in-chief of the legendary Kuryer Polski from Milwaukee, revived after 70 years, a Polish diaspora activist, journalist, and promoter of the idea of ​​a global Polish diaspora. In recognition of his work to disseminate truth about Poland and build bridges between the country and the diaspora, the Institute of National Remembrance awarded him the title of Ambassador of Polish History in 2025.

Poland, now at the center of European security, must redefine its role in a world where the United States is shifting its strategic priorities. The country, which has become a pillar of NATO and a symbol of democratic resolve, can strengthen its position by cooperating with the powerful yet dormant Polish American community.

Approximately 20 million people of Polish descent live outside Poland, 10-12 million of whom live in the United States. For years, they remained on the margins of public life, despite their enormous demographic, financial, and intellectual potential. Today, there is a chance for the Polish diaspora to regain its rightful place and become an integral part of the nation, co-shaping state policy and building Poland's international clout.

The new socio-political arrangement, with President Karol Nawrocki as its architect, will likely be based on a broad coalition of parties, persuasions, and groups. This project presents a unique opportunity: the genuine inclusion of the Polish diaspora in the country's public life.

Poland was doomed to confrontation with the Third Reich and the Soviet Union – a consequence of the policies of the great powers and the balance of power in Europe. It could only slightly hasten or delay this moment. However, in no way could it avoid tragedy.

A new political system is emerging, with President Karol Nawrocki at its helm. It will likely be based on a broad coalition of various parties, groups, groups, and non-political professionals.

The General Court of the European Union has ordered Ursula von der Leyen to disclose text messages exchanged with the head of Pfizer regarding the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines for billions of euros, which triggered the scandal known as "Pfizergate" and undermined trust in the transparency of the European Commission's actions and the president herself, who for years had avoided responsibility for the shadiness of this transaction.

Exactly five centuries ago, on April 10, 1525, in the very heart of Krakow, an act took place that was not only symbolic, but also strategic. A scene took place there, which in the eyes of those at the time could be considered a symbolic end to the long armed conflict waged by the Kingdom of Poland with the Teutonic Order.

While another installment of the Polish-Polish war is taking place in Poland's most important legislative institution — the Polish Sejm — and politicians' private grudges dominate the debate on Polish agency and security, the withdrawal of American troops from Polish territory is taking place quietly, without much fanfare.

The German television program – ZDF Heute – analyzed and assessed Donald Trump's speech immediately after the broadcast – on March 5, 2025. One of the President's first words was quoted: "America's momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back, our confidence is back."

The US administration’s decision to restrict the export of advanced AI chips to Poland, despite its status as a NATO and EU member, has raised concerns among Polish experts and journalists. Jarosław Królewski, CEO of Synerise, has called it “the greatest allied betrayal since World War II.” Poland’s absence from the EU list of AI factory locations, as well as the restrictions imposed by the US, indicate the need to strengthen Poland’s international efficacy.
