#1 Interesting artifact of WWII, after which the borders of Poland were shifted about 100 miles west forcing the displacement of Poles from what had histroically been Poland and Germans from what had historically been Germany. The USSR (now Belarus) was the gainer.

#2 Ah, yes the Silesian Germans. Do they get a 'Right of Return'? The left and their terrorist buds talk a lot about the Paleos, but no one ever talks about the Silesians.

#3 Lukashenko is an ass... A totalitarian thug that is a holdover of the old Commissar days. Poland is free-wheeling and democratic. All the folks in Belarus, not just ethnic Poles, see what is going on next door...

i.e. "The Natives are Restless"

#4 Stuff like this answers that old question why Poland has become such buddies with the US and why Belarus is still on it's knees before Putin.

#5 And Poland is now part of NATO. Unlike some of the other members, the US will come to another's aid.
