Polish President and Army Chief of Staff dead

[Jan Klimkowski]

I have to agree that the event couldn't be designed better to play on Polish martyrology, history and public opinion, but I can't see who benefits. Katyn, Sikorski all over again.

Let me start by saying that I have, and had, little time for the Kaczynski twins and much of their politics.

However, C20th Polish history and geography is C20th Polish history and geography.

The Nazi-Soviet Pact.

Katyn.

The assassination of Sikorski.

The Warsaw Uprising.

Yalta.

Etc.

As a matter of European geography, the Poles are the most homogenous ethnic group on the autobahn leading from Berlin to Moscow, and this has certain, perhaps inevitable, consequences.

In addition, the geopolitical relationship between Russia and Germany is at least as important for continental Europe as that between Germany and France.

If this was not an accident, pilot error, then cui bono? is always a good question. But not the only one.

Public executions of prominent political figures typically have a symbolic dimension. The magickal potency of the act, pulsing through the aether of the collective unconscious, has a life and resonance of its own.

At the geopolitical level, when we are considering potential perfidy of this magnitude, Charles' hypothesis should be very much in the foreground:

George Michael wrote of a group of American and Soviet military, political, and intelligence assets "whose masters were above Cold War differences."

Those "masters" are the Sponsors.
