Polish President and Army Chief of Staff dead

On the face of it, the biggest risks and potential losers were/are Russia.

I certainly don't rule out a Combined Russia/West move being played out here but otherwise - qui bono?

It has to be big, really big, on the scale of Molotov-Ribbentrop, but even grander scale.

Poland was a "sore" for Hitler because of Danzig corridor and to Stalin because of the Polish anti-Bolshevik offensive in Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania. Poland's current "sore" status would involve the things Jan mentioned, but they don't seem to add up to enough in my mind: the Baltic Sea Gazprom pipeline cut the Baltics and Poland out of the supply chain but no one else much cared and Poland couldn't make too much of a stink about it because no one else cared. There might be intrigues involving the (Ras)Putin-Medvedev-Soetoro nuclear deal of which we don't have the details, involving Poland.

Could someone post the direct Youtube links for the "second" film?
