“Anyone who wants to prepare Poland for defense, here in the territory, in Podlasie, Podkarpacie or Wielkopolska, or God forbid here in the West, means they want to treat our country to Bucza, Irpień or Mariupol,” he said during an election. meeting with the inhabitants of Gorzów Wielkopolski, former commander-in-chief of the armed forces, politician Poland 2050 and advisor to Szymon Hołownia, General Mirosław Różański.
““Gazeta Lubuska” reports that a politician from Szymon Hołownia’s party shared shocking statements at an election rally in Gorzów Wielkopolski, questioning the need to defend Polish territory against possible Russian aggression. Rising defense spending, purchases of American tanks and patriotic attitude to the threat from the east make little impression on the general. Well, it turns out that they are downright harmful, according to him.
A mockery of sacrifices?
I anxiously listen to speeches in which those responsible for our security delight in urging young people to be ready for the highest sacrifices. It is so easy to say that you are ready to make the greatest sacrifices, sacrifice health and even life. I would not fully trust those responsible for our security today. I disagree with the statement that you can go into debt to keep us safe. What does it mean to be in debt? The gentleman who said this (PiS president, Jarosław Kaczyński – editor’s note), he does not risk his own wealth
– said General Mirosław Różański.
The former commander-in-chief of the armed forces rejects the project to build a larger and stronger Polish army and opposes the purchase of more modern military equipment. He considers investments in the reconstruction of the combat capabilities of Polish units and infrastructure as dangerous for the state.
Anyone who wants to prepare Poland for defense, here in the territory, in Podlasie, Podkarpacie or Wielkopolska, or God forbid here in the West, means that they want to treat our country to Bucza, Irpień or Mariupol. Today we need to think about removing the threat, not about how we are going to defend the border
said the retired soldier.
Różański also referred to the crisis situation at the Polish-Belarusian border, referring to the old opposition narrative, according to which the military personnel sent there were not prepared and the media did not sufficiently report attempts by immigrants to cross the border, which according to him, had an impact on the aggravation of the crisis.
If in the very beginning, when there were about twenty refugees at the border, if all domestic and foreign media were brought there to show what Lukashena really intended, then I am convinced that the course of everything that happened would later be of another dimension
Rozanski added.
All investments for “no”
General Różański is very critical of the government’s investment policy, which, despite a regular war on our eastern border, focuses on the purchase of weapons from the United States and South Korea. According to him, a better choice than the American Abrams would be the German Leopards. The main reason Poland chose American tanks, according to Rożański, was “the desire to please President Kaczyński” and the supposedly anti-German policy of the PiS government.
It is the Leopard tanks that are the main battle tanks for most NATO countries. The decision to buy the American company Abrams was, in my opinion, just to please the CEO. To them, anything German is bad, because now everything we do has to be American. The “American dream” is still alive in many minds
– argued the politician of Poland 2050.
Mateusz Morawiecki’s government was also hit for the purchase of Korean K2 tanks.
PiS politicians came up with the idea that we should show that we are fit. Bach, we have purchased 250 tanks for an urgent operational need. It was not necessary and I know a little about it. Meanwhile, some soldiers were encouraged to say that we need these tanks
– added.
We will be a country that has what it takes to make it look really elegant during the parade. Will be large, small and medium. I don’t see the slightest justification for these decisions made when it comes to tank purchases
– summarized General Rozanski.
It is actually extremely sad and disturbing that a man who was the commander of the General Branches of the Armed Forces is spreading such defeatism and questioning the need to defend the country against Russian militarism at all costs. Apparently, hatred of Jaroslaw Kaczynski and PiS prevails here, because whatever the government has done since the outbreak of war in Ukraine, General Rozanski does not like it.
