As a Brit, thank you Radek Sikorski. This was the most eloquent and brutally logical and honest summary of where we are and where we must be going. Time is short. Matters are very serious. Dramatic action is urgently required. There is no time for excuses nor procrastination. Nor for the self-indulgent extravagance of a single man - Mike Johnson - to obstruct American democracy and decision making on vital matters of American national security at this turning point in history.
And yet Europe including the UK, made excuses for the past 10 years. If only Minister Sikorski so passionately lectured those 20 NATO allies procrastinating for 10 years to met their 2% of GDP commitment as he does America who always met its commitment for all of NATO's 75 year existence by spending at least 6% of GDP. Speaker Johnson and his Republican led US House of Representatives passed a bill with $61 billion Where was this European urgency to defeat Putin after Russia's two invasions in 2014? Where was the minister's passionate appeal to President Biden threatening to veto and his Democrat colleagues defeating Speaker Johnson's bill last December? To borrow a Churchill quote, Europe having exhausted all its options always counts on America to do the right thing and save them from themselves!
One of the big problems is that the Dems keep piggy-backing (as in hiding) expenditure within huge ungainly bills that purport to be something they’re not. The Inflation Reduction Act - for example - had a whole spectrum of massive expenditure on infrastructure projects and did anything but reduce inflation. One bill to solve one issue is the way it should work, surely?
I'm Ukrainian and don't get me wrong, I appreciate all that our foreign ministry is doing. But Mr.Sikorsky speaks on another level. I wish he would be Ukrainian. Kudos to Pan Sikorski from Ukraine!
Great speech. Thanks from Lithuania. And it is nice to see how many people in the comments are rational, and only few brainwashed by the axis of evil. Democracies have flaws, but it also have a capability to correct it self, we just need to unite faster and by uniting and defending ourselves we will bring those regimes to self-destruction.
Poland's Foreign Minister Sikorski is a very right person to represent EU and NATO on international arenas. Very well spoken, excellent history knowledge, practical engagement in war in Afghanistan, and Ukraine developments elevate him to unique position to help to solve very complicated international situation. We need strong leadership in Europe, and around the world to save us.
I'm a Pole and a German. I live in Śląsk. "We will eat grass rather than go back to being a soviet colony" - 100000000000000% true! I, personally, even if I am a 100 years old, I will do everything for me and my family not to go back to 1970's and the rule of Moscow in Poland. Amen.
The war in Ukraine started with an 8 year civil war from 2014 to 2022 that killed mostly 14,000 native Russian Ukrainians. Ukraine passed laws to deny their native Russian speakers from speaking their native language in their schools and closed all of their Russian speaking TV stations. That is how major wars are started when there is a break down of Democratic principles and rights. Plus Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe. So we all know the cause of the war. When you deny people their rights yours will also be compromised. It's common sense. But unfortunately common sense is not that common.
I have just listened to a Polish representative addressing the United Nations, debunking Russia's claims over why they wage war on Ukraine, one by one, absolutely brilliant. And looking forward to this too. Wonderful Poland. Jane Soole, Dorset, England (80 years)
Isn’t he the guy who tweeted “Thanks USA” with a picture of the giant gas bubble above the Nordstream pipelines? Ie the largest ever release of gas into the environment in human history 😑
Sicorski has a guilty conscience. He was an architect of the Polish-Rusdian reset years ago. He was the one telling Ukrainians to give up during Maidan protests. He is trying to reinvent himself with the blessing of his masters from Berlin. No the bravery cheap. He was the one causing Conservatives of Russofobia playing for Merkel's team.
Hi is not interested in Polish politics. He wants to be in Brussels or NATO and this is his game. With Merkel gone and Berlin weaker, he is pushing his elbows around.

I commend him, but where was this Polish and European passion to defeat Russian aggression after Russia's two invasions in 2014?
Beware of politicians bearing gifts. (Recall the ever-so-short U.S. "fling" with Russian President Medvedev... Gorby, notwithstanding) In response to the Soviets surrendering their Soviet flag over their Soviet Kremlin, President H.W. Bush said: "now is not the time to gloat"; how obviously dead wrong he was: Now, as with post-WWII Germany, "now" was the time to de-Sovietize Russia.... regardless of his son swooning deeply in the eyes of Putin.
Bravo Mr. Sikorski! It was a pleasure to listen to you. Congratulations for making one powerful point after another and for your clear way of thinking! And thank you for doing the job of convincing those in the USA and the wider "West" who have other ideas fueled by their nativity, narrow self interests and lack of understanding of the world's affairs and the current situation. You are by far the best person for the job. And I am not just thinking of your position as a Foreign Minister of Poland but the job of confronting the evil forces of the World and saving the Western Civilisation! Once again Big Thank You! ❤
He is the longest served Poland's FM if you add up all his terms in the office. He was also Poland's defence minister and the speaker of parlament. His latest UN speech is epic.

He might run in next presidential elections in Poland in 2025. He is also considered for UN security commissioner and something else that i don't remember right now. His resume is quite impressive: he was a Minister of Defence, then eurodeputy, he grauated from Oxford and won World Press Photo award for the picture he took while being a war correspondant in Afghanistan. His wife is also very influential, she's American journalist and writer who won Pulitzer prize in 2003 for her book "Gulag" and is even better educated than him ( she studied at Yale, London School of Economics and Oxford).

Sikorski is an absolute giant. He’s trying to warn the US that you are destroying what you built since 1945. It’s the US’s system and you are destroying it. It’s so reminiscent of the fall of the Roman Empire that it’s uncanny.
I don't know.... it took the Romans some 302 years to destroy their empire through internal rot, including bread & circuses for the masses but waning discipline. Under spendthrift Biden and his anti-business, anti-carbon, anti-family, anti-God, anti-freedom and anti-white retinue, the US might implode in a single decade.
@@RichardTaylor1630 The decline of the Roman Empire started with the fall of PAX Romanis, withdrawal of troops and focus on the heartland that then fractured into the Eastern & Western Roman realm. Same will happen to Russia as in Armenia, Kazakstan etc they are falling apart quicker than America.
Sikorski most certainly is the right man in the right place, that's coming from a Pole. People of the West do listen before it gets too late. If it's not too late already...

At least half the Polish population wouldn’t agree with you about Tusk, but Sikorski has always been impressive. Rather disappointing of him to weigh in on cultural issues towards the end, and especially being so dismissive of the public’s concerns about the batflu, concerns which it turns out have been entirely warranted.
Not Agree.Polish government is now in different place,much closer to Europe thanks to Tusk,no matter what half Polish think about that,because the other half was "educated" by PIS.
@@ffcghjttv - Right, and now Tusk will fill the media with his own cronies, and re-educate everyone on how to think “correctly”? EU membership has served Poland very well since 2004, and continued membership would be wise considering the current geopolitics, but it also brings with it many things that are “problematic” to anyone with a gram of common sense.

@@ffcghjttv - The next few months will show how free the Polish media is. As you may know, in the UK and Germany and USA most of the media is “free” only in theory.
Here's some consistency to help clarify the way forward. In 2014 only 3 NATO allies funded their defense spending at least 2% of GDP.. If only those 20 NATO allies procrastinating for 10 years to met their 2% of GDP commitment followed America's consistency always meeting her commitment for all 75 years of NATO's existence spending at least 6% of GDP.

Yes, some things are correct in what you write, but you have no idea how Poland reacted to the war in Georgia in 2008, how the EU warned the same thing happened in 2014, how Poland was always above the 2% limit, etc. Sikorski is not just talking to Johnson or Biden, he is talking to the entire American nation. Sikorski is not there to take part in US politics.You don't know much, or you know and you play your own game..My English is at a very low level,sorry
Czy reakcja Polski lub UE zapobiegła inwazji i aneksji przez Rosję Donbasu, Ługańska i Krymu? Jako oficer polowy amerykańskiej armii służyłem w sztabach dwóch amerykańskich dowódców generalnych podczas stacjonowania w Niemczech w latach 2014-2017. Podejrzewam, że wiem więcej, niż jesteś skłonny przyznać. Odbyłem wiele rozmów z innymi członkami NATO, żołnierzami i dowódcami wojskowymi. Holenderski generał i francuski pułkownik odpowiedzieli, że Ukraina nie jest przedmiotem zainteresowania Europy ani NATO, kiedy zapytałem ich, co Ameryka lub Europa powinny zrobić w związku z dwiema inwazjami i aneksją Ukrainy w 2014 r. Odbyłem trzy podróże na Ukrainę w latach 1994, 2018 i 2021 i znajomi nadal tam mieszkają. Ile masz lat służby wojskowej i jakie masz stopnie naukowe w szkole wojskowej? Ile podróży odbyłeś na Ukrainę? Niestety, Twój poziom wiedzy o amerykańskiej polityce jest jeszcze niższy. Wzywając spikera Johnsona do przyjęcia dodatkowej ustawy przewidującej nową pomoc w wysokości 60 miliardów dolarów i ostrzegając Amerykę, aby się nie izolowała, każdy Amerykanin wyraźnie zrozumiał, że opowiada się po którejś ze stron poważnej amerykańskiej polityki zagranicznej i wewnętrznej, mającej poważne konsekwencje dla amerykańskiego bezpieczeństwa finansowego i narodowego. Did the Polish or EU reaction prevent Russia's invasion & annexation of Donbas, Luhansk and Crimea? As a US fArmy field grade officer, I served on the two American Commanding Generals' staffs while stationed in Germany, 2014-2017, I suspect I know more than you seem willing to give me credit. I had multiple conversations with other NATO allies Soldiers and military leaders. A Dutch General & French Colonel replied that Ukraine was not Europe's nor NATO's concern when I asked them what America or Europe should do about the two invasions and annexation in Ukraine in 2014. I made three trips to Ukraine, 1994, 2018 and 2021 and have friends still living there. How many years of of military service & military school degrees do you have? How many trips did you make to Ukraine? Unfortunately, your level of knowledge of American politics is even lower. By calling on Speaker Johnson to pass the supplemental bill with $60 billion in new aid and warning America not to isolate herself, every American clearly understood he was taking sides in a serious American foreign & domestic policies wotj serious consequences for American financial & national security.
An excellent offering by the Atlantic Council, very informative and timely relevant. Minister Sikorski strikes me as an astute scholar of Machiavelli, or at least, an acolyte of Realpolitik. Exactly what is needed right now.
Radek touched an important issue. Poles were looking up to America through the ages. Not only under a communist regime, but earlier too. There were a lot of Polish emigrants in XIX century, after two failed insurrections. America was always here a "shiny beacon on the hill". Lack of detailed historical knowledge may contributed to this, but your ideals of personal freedom, involvement in political processes, free enterprise etc. resonated with millions. Please remember this always when you think that "America bad". People who tasted real authoritarian regimes of the tzars and commisaries choose America. Those values are not dead. Stay strong and God bless America. Greetings from Poland 🤍❤

More like Europe and especially those 20 NATO allies procrastinating for 10 years should follow America's example of always meeting her commitment for all of NATO's 75 year existence by spending at least 6% of GDP.

I respect Minister Sikorski's intelligence and gratitude. Poland is certainly a great ally for America & NATO. While appealing to America to do the "right thing", the Foreign Minister ignores this fact-America can always count on Europe exhausting all the wrong choices to expect America to do the right thing and save them! Unlike even Poland until recently, America always fulfilled its commitment during NATO's 75 year existence spending 6% of GDP on defense and covering 70% of NATO's expenditures in 2022 according to NATO. Where was this European zeal to fight Russian aggression after its two invasions and annexations in Ukraine in 2014? The EU had 10 years to ramp up critical ammo and military manufacturing. The EU did not so America must do it.
@@WoTBlitzAddict Superpower, yes! Bottomless pit of money, no! You seem to argue that America because it is a superpower does not need NATO. If only 3 NATO countries paid 2%, or the bare minimum according to the NATO Secretary General, 13 countries still are not paying 2% 10 years after Russia's two invasions of Ukraine, Why would anyone rely on these NATO members when the shooting war starts? For instance, Germany, the largest economy in Europe, only has enough ammo to fight two days! They produce 2-3 tanks a month. Russia loses more than that in one hour.
Tucker has no basic knowledge about Poland's history. Sikorski would give him a lesson he needs. Sikorski did the same to russian representative in the UN recently. There was nothing left for Russian after Sikorski's speech. th-cam.com/video/0RNy4gyAa6w/w-d-xo.html

Americans do not have to imagine what happens when too many Europeans expect America to care more for their security than they do. They can visit the thousands of graves of American dead from WW1 and WW2 in Europe. Why should Americans spend even more taxpayer dollars after spending 6% of GDP on defense and funding 70% of NATO's financial expenditures in 2022?
Minister Sikorski is an amazing person, I'm very happy he's an important level-headed, informed representative in the EU. I'll sleep safe here in Austria.
Mr. Sikorski is a great statesman indeed. However, as it is usually the case, the woman behind this great man is even greater. His wife, Ms. Anne Applebaum, is one of the most brilliant political analysts of our time.

Before jetting off to that Caribbean vacation, Biden threatened to defeat this bill before the Democrat led US Senate defeated it. As the minister pointed out, President Trump was the first American president to send critical lethal military aid and American military advisors to Ukraine during his presidency. President Biden's idea of supporting Ukraine was offering President Zelensky a plane ride out of Ukraine. Where was this European urgency to defeat Putin after Russia's two invasions in 2014? Where was the minister's passionate appeal to President Biden threatening to veto and his Democrat colleagues defeating Speaker Johnson's bill last December? As Thomas Sowell, wisely said, it is hard to discuss facts with anyone enjoying their moral superiority in ignorance.

Poland's Foreign Minister Sikorski is a very right person to represent EU and NATO on international arenas. Very well spoken, excellent history knowledge, practical engagement in war in Afghanistan, and Ukraine developments elevate him to unique position to help to solve very complicated international situation. We need strong leadership in Europe, and around the world to save us.

I'm a Pole and a German. I live in Śląsk. "We will eat grass rather than go back to being a soviet colony" - 100000000000000% true! I, personally, even if I am a 100 years old, I will do everything for me and my family not to go back to 1970's and the rule of Moscow in Poland. Amen.
The war in Ukraine started with an 8 year civil war from 2014 to 2022 that killed mostly 14,000 native Russian Ukrainians. Ukraine passed laws to deny their native Russian speakers from speaking their native language in their schools and closed all of their Russian speaking TV stations. That is how major wars are started when there is a break down of Democratic principles and rights.
Plus Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe. So we all know the cause of the war. When you deny people their rights yours will also be compromised. It's common sense. But unfortunately common sense is not that common.
Putin’s ally, North Korea produces weapons for Russian Army while their citizens eat grass.
Good for you.
I have just listened to a Polish representative addressing the United Nations, debunking Russia's claims over why they wage war on Ukraine, one by one, absolutely brilliant. And looking forward to this too. Wonderful Poland. Jane Soole, Dorset, England (80 years)
I agree. Sikorski's speech was epic.
Madam,,. Thank you for pointing this out.
Sikorski is the man, if every European nation had a foreign minister with such clear vision maybe we'd actually take Putin seriously.
Isn’t he the guy who tweeted “Thanks USA” with a picture of the giant gas bubble above the Nordstream pipelines? Ie the largest ever release of gas into the environment in human history 😑
Sicorski has a guilty conscience. He was an architect of the Polish-Rusdian reset years ago. He was the one telling Ukrainians to give up during Maidan protests. He is trying to reinvent himself with the blessing of his masters from Berlin. No the bravery cheap. He was the one causing Conservatives of Russofobia playing for Merkel's team.
I wonder. Are the comments censored?
This one went through. Let's try again. Should we believe Sikorski since he was an active participant in reset with Russia? Guilty conscience?
Hi is not interested in Polish politics. He wants to be in Brussels or NATO and this is his game. With Merkel gone and Berlin weaker, he is pushing his elbows around.
Mr.Sikorski is one of the great politician.
No, he's not.

I commend him, but where was this Polish and European passion to defeat Russian aggression after Russia's two invasions in 2014?
What a wise Polish politician . Great speech.
Beware of politicians bearing gifts. (Recall the ever-so-short U.S. "fling" with Russian President Medvedev... Gorby, notwithstanding)
In response to the Soviets surrendering their Soviet flag over their Soviet Kremlin, President H.W. Bush said: "now is not the time to gloat"; how obviously dead wrong he was:
Now, as with post-WWII Germany, "now" was the time to de-Sovietize Russia.... regardless of his son swooning deeply in the eyes of Putin.
Bravo Mr. Sikorski! It was a pleasure to listen to you. Congratulations for making one powerful point after another and for your clear way of thinking! And thank you for doing the job of convincing those in the USA and the wider "West" who have other ideas fueled by their nativity, narrow self interests and lack of understanding of the world's affairs and the current situation.

Sikorski is an absolute giant. He’s trying to warn the US that you are destroying what you built since 1945. It’s the US’s system and you are destroying it. It’s so reminiscent of the fall of the Roman Empire that it’s uncanny.
I don't know.... it took the Romans some 302 years to destroy their empire through internal rot, including bread & circuses for the masses but waning discipline.

At least half the Polish population wouldn’t agree with you about Tusk, but Sikorski has always been impressive. Rather disappointing of him to weigh in on cultural issues towards the end, and especially being so dismissive of the public’s concerns about the batflu, concerns which it turns out have been entirely warranted.
Not Agree.Polish government is now in different place,much closer to Europe thanks to Tusk,no matter what half Polish think about that,because the other half was "educated" by PIS.

Here's some consistency to help clarify the way forward.
In 2014 only 3 NATO allies funded their defense spending at least 2% of GDP.. If only those 20 NATO allies procrastinating for 10 years to met their 2% of GDP commitment followed America's consistency always meeting her commitment for all 75 years of NATO's existence spending at least 6% of GDP.
Speaker Johnson and his Republican led US House of Representatives passed a bill with $61 billion in new aid to Ukraine.
Where was this Polish & European clarity, consistency, logic and sincerity to defeat Putin after Russia's two invasions in 2014? Where was the minister's passionate appeal to President Biden threatening to veto Speaker Johnson's bill before his Democrat colleagues defeated it last December?

Czy reakcja Polski lub UE zapobiegła inwazji i aneksji przez Rosję Donbasu, Ługańska i Krymu?
Jako oficer polowy amerykańskiej armii służyłem w sztabach dwóch amerykańskich dowódców generalnych podczas stacjonowania w Niemczech w latach 2014-2017. Podejrzewam, że wiem więcej, niż jesteś skłonny przyznać. Odbyłem wiele rozmów z innymi członkami NATO, żołnierzami i dowódcami wojskowymi. Holenderski generał i francuski pułkownik odpowiedzieli, że Ukraina nie jest przedmiotem zainteresowania Europy ani NATO, kiedy zapytałem ich, co Ameryka lub Europa powinny zrobić w związku z dwiema inwazjami i aneksją Ukrainy w 2014 r. Odbyłem trzy podróże na Ukrainę w latach 1994, 2018 i 2021 i znajomi nadal tam mieszkają. Ile masz lat służby wojskowej i jakie masz stopnie naukowe w szkole wojskowej? Ile podróży odbyłeś na Ukrainę?
Niestety, Twój poziom wiedzy o amerykańskiej polityce jest jeszcze niższy. Wzywając spikera Johnsona do przyjęcia dodatkowej ustawy przewidującej nową pomoc w wysokości 60 miliardów dolarów i ostrzegając Amerykę, aby się nie izolowała, każdy Amerykanin wyraźnie zrozumiał, że opowiada się po którejś ze stron poważnej amerykańskiej polityki zagranicznej i wewnętrznej, mającej poważne konsekwencje dla amerykańskiego bezpieczeństwa finansowego i narodowego.
Did the Polish or EU reaction prevent Russia's invasion & annexation of Donbas, Luhansk and Crimea?
As a US fArmy field grade officer, I served on the two American Commanding Generals' staffs while stationed in Germany, 2014-2017, I suspect I know more than you seem willing to give me credit. I had multiple conversations with other NATO allies Soldiers and military leaders. A Dutch General & French Colonel replied that Ukraine was not Europe's nor NATO's concern when I asked them what America or Europe should do about the two invasions and annexation in Ukraine in 2014. I made three trips to Ukraine, 1994, 2018 and 2021 and have friends still living there. How many years of of military service & military school degrees do you have? How many trips did you make to Ukraine?
Unfortunately, your level of knowledge of American politics is even lower. By calling on Speaker Johnson to pass the supplemental bill with $60 billion in new aid and warning America not to isolate herself, every American clearly understood he was taking sides in a serious American foreign & domestic policies wotj serious consequences for American financial & national security.

This man is the best foreign minister my country can ever hope for! So proud of him, thank you sir
I don’t think we’re appreciate him enough here in Poland. He’s great at expressing what WE feel and believe in. Thank you Radek ❤🇵🇱
An excellent offering by the Atlantic Council, very informative and timely relevant. Minister Sikorski strikes me as an astute scholar of Machiavelli, or at least, an acolyte of Realpolitik. Exactly what is needed right now.
Radek touched an important issue. Poles were looking up to America through the ages. Not only under a communist regime, but earlier too. There were a lot of Polish emigrants in XIX century, after two failed insurrections. America was always here a "shiny beacon on the hill". Lack of detailed historical knowledge may contributed to this, but your ideals of personal freedom, involvement in political processes, free enterprise etc. resonated with millions. Please remember this always when you think that "America bad". People who tasted real authoritarian regimes of the tzars and commisaries choose America. Those values are not dead. Stay strong and God bless America. Greetings from Poland 🤍❤

While appealing to America to do the "right thing", the Foreign Minister ignores this fact-America can always count on Europe exhausting all the wrong choices to expect America to do the right thing and save them! Unlike even Poland until recently, America always fulfilled its commitment during NATO's 75 year existence spending 6% of GDP on defense and covering 70% of NATO's expenditures in 2022 according to NATO.
Where was this European zeal to fight Russian aggression after its two invasions and annexations in Ukraine in 2014? The EU had 10 years to ramp up critical ammo and military manufacturing. The EU did not so America must do it.
@@506thparatrooperand please remind me is any other country in the world is declared as superpower?
@@WoTBlitzAddict Superpower, yes! Bottomless pit of money, no!
You seem to argue that America because it is a superpower does not need NATO. If only 3 NATO countries paid 2%, or the bare minimum according to the NATO Secretary General, 13 countries still are not paying 2% 10 years after Russia's two invasions of Ukraine, Why would anyone rely on these NATO members when the shooting war starts? For instance, Germany, the largest economy in Europe, only has enough ammo to fight two days! They produce 2-3 tanks a month. Russia loses more than that in one hour.
I just love this guy. He inspires confidence.

If Putin wins - US will fall and the entire western world of peace and prosperity with it. It’s that simple.
I'm proud to be Polish! Great job Mr Sikorski!
Poland and Minister Sikorski are great allies. If only Minister Sikorski so passionately lectured those 20 NATO allies procrastinating for 10 years to met their 2% of GDP commitment as he does America who always met her commitment for all 75 years of NATO's existence by spending at least 6% of GDP.
Where was this Polish let alone European urgency to defeat Putin after Russia's two invasions in 2014? Where was the minister's passionate appeal to President Biden threatening to veto Speaker Johnson's bill the US house passed last December before the Democrat led US Senate defeated it?
To borrow a Churchill quote, Europe having exhausted all its options always counts on America to do the right thing and save them from themselves!
good stuff
Yeah if you like a good joke.

Radek Sikorski should be the candidate for the General Secretary of NATO! He could add more energy and mobilization to this organization to make Europe stronger against putin.His speech here is absolutely excellent! His activity in the USA is a good job in the last days. Down with putin!
