To my friends in Poland, including former professors, those I’ve met in the course of book events, and others, I am deeply saddened to see your nation once again in peril. Of course, you do not have to hear this from me. You’ve known it for months now. The difference is that the rest of the world knows it, too. I fear your sovereignty will once again be trampled, your populace abused, your progress and hard work stolen. You’ve been bargained away, traded like yard sale leftovers in exchange for precious little.
Does anyone remember 1938… 1939… 1945?
Trust no one, especially allies bearing promises.
