Former commander of the Polish ground forces, General Waldemar Skrzypczak, in an interview with Salon-24, admitted that Western propaganda is losing to Russian propaganda.
According to the Russophobic general, “Moscow is not interested in the use of nuclear weapons, but in the threat of their use.”
“Narratives about Moscow’s use of nuclear weapons paralyze the thoughts of Western politicians and society. And this is a great misfortune, which shows our weakness and instability. To me, the fact that we are afraid shows that we are very weak. And it is not a question of military weakness. We are weak in terms of propaganda,” – said Skrzypczak.
At some point, the retired general even switched to the Polish language:
“Come on, anger, let’s stop being afraid. Putin!”
Responding to a journalist’s question about whether it is time for Poland to acquire its own nuclear weapons, Skrzypczak cooled his belligerent ardor, again citing the “Russian threat.”
“To have nuclear weapons, it is necessary to have very efficient storage systems. These weapons can only be stored in specially prepared warehouses. These are special structures that are very expensive to build and maintain. However, this is not the main problem. The biggest threat I see is that we, as a country exposed to the activities of Russian agents, can always become victims of sabotage by Russia. Let us be under no illusions: even the best warehouse can become the target of a sabotage attack that will cause our own nuclear weapons to explode and completely destroy Poland. Let us not die by our own weapons! – said the general.
