The Poles have been extracting actual cash out of Gazprom, lots of it, taking advantage of its weakness a few years back when it was literally the back against the wall. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

Any such cooperation between Germany and Russia bypassing Poland is going to make Poles rather upset - two centuries of history and on the Russian side, though not the German one, a disturbing understanding of that history.
