Fico Shooting: An Opportunity For Regional Autocrats To Weaponise “Polarisation” – QUICK TAKE
16 May 2024
The message is simple. Poland wants top European partners to deliver an equal share in defence of what it has committed on its own. The European security bill will not be waved through by hard talk alone. Berlin and Paris must know that they would also pay dearly for the cost of inaction.
Questions about US commitment to Europe
President Joe Biden hosted President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the White House at a particular moment for American democracy. The transatlantic commitment by the commander-in-chief is undermined by the politics of the Republican party, as the support package for Ukraine is blocked by their speaker.
A trip from Warsaw is a powerful reminder that Poland means business when it talks about Europe’s security.
The two top Polish leaders “stand worlds apart in nearly all matters of domestic politics”, said Tusk before the trip. Still, in Washington, they stay united by the concern for defence policy.
