Poland
Polistra is praying to Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów, the patron saint of Polish nationalism.
Poland's president and much of its leadership class has been killed. Again.
Immediate temptation is to suspect Russian treachery, but in this case it doesn't seem likely. Nothing to gain.
EU treachery is more probable. EU hates nationalism more than anything else, especially pro-Christian and pro-life nationalism.
= = = = =
Later thought: There is a wild card that hasn't been noticed by American media. Conoco and other oil companies have recently found a huge deposit of natural gas in Poland's Baltic waters. Enough to make Poland completely self-sufficient in energy for decades ... thus no need to buy from Russia. Is that a reason for Russia to destabilize Poland? Maybe. ¶ 10:40 AM
