Germany, France and Poland form EU battlegroup

Poland will command the group, providing the core combat troops and a mechanised battalion, a high-ranking French military official said in Brussels.

Polish top brass consents to it, Crow. Sarkozy and Merkel are pretty convincing people. Poland should be careful with such warmongers.

To tell you frankly, it is abominable how Germany and France ejaculate on Poland

Poland is not a small country. Poles should trust themselves.
