If they doesn’t want Poland to have its own nuclear weapons, Russian and the USA should put more effort into progressive nuclear disarmement as agreed by treaty:
the NPT non-nuclear-weapon states agree never to acquire nuclear weapons and the NPT nuclear-weapon states in exchange agree to share the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology and to pursue nuclear disarmament aimed at the ultimate elimination of their nuclear arsenals.
Russia stopped participating in START, that agreement officially expired last month, and there has been no new agreement between Russia and the USA tio reduce stockpiles. Trump is chaotic, threatens to invade allies, so there’s reason to doubt it would defend NATO allies.
So it’d be logical for Poland to look into building its own nuclear deterrence. The solution is to better enforce the NTP, decrease everyone’s stockpile, including Russian and USA’s.
Yep, the NPT was never about all other countries just ceding the power that is afforded by nuclear weapons to the countries that currently had them. And NATO’s nuclear umbrella indeed played a major part in making that acceptable too. It was supposed to be a two way deal. But it seems nowadays people with nukes have conveniently forgotten that. Trump probably doesn’t even understand the first thing about it ofc…
