Future of Polish-US relations

The shape of Polish-US relations and what the future holds in store for Polish culture.

Polish-US relations is the topic taken up by several papers. Analysts wonder if Washington’s decision to abandon plans for a missile shield installation in Poland will prove to be a setback in these relations. US analyst George Friedman claims in the tabloid FAKT that nothing has changed so far. ‘From the tactical point of view, the anti-missile shield was not that important for Poland’, he writes. It was more of a symbolic significance. What is really important is the shape of US-Russian relations. Moscow will most probably ask for more gestures from Washington and will want to have a final say on affairs with Ukraine and Georgia.
