The Polish PM recently said at the opening of the EU Summit, “If Poland had not had to live through the years of 1939-45, Poland would be today looking at the demographics of a country of 66 million.”
The brashness and brazenness of that statement made me laugh out loud. Yes, it’s probably a true statement. Yes, the Germans were a bunch of Jew-killing Nazis back then. But this sort of statement is not going to solve any problems. It’s a case of severe whining. Instead of pointing out the obvious, Poland’s PM needs to get on with life and make do with the population he has right now.
