{{Quotebox-float|reputable polling suggests that the ruling [[liberal]] [[coalition]] risks being unseated by a [[conservative]]-[[nationalist]] one after fall 2027’s next Sejm elections if the current trends hold. Scaring [[Pole]]s about [[Russia]] and then attempting to imbue them with the [[false]] [[confidence]] that they can “defeat Russia rather quickly” is an extremely manipulative form of [[electioneering]] that might ultimately backfire.

It’s intellectually insulting that Poland’s ruling liberals believe that they can pull Poles in these polar opposite directions for what might be the next 12 months in order to rally them behind their coalition. The “Russophrenia” of believing that Russia is about to steamroll through [[NATO]] while also believing that NATO can easily steamroll through Russia, to cite Irish journalist Brian McDonald’s famous concept, is difficult to maintain for that long and at scale without inadvertently turning more Poles against them.}}
