In a recent interview, Radosław Sikorski stressed the importance for Polish leaders to recognize that Polish interests do not always align with American interests. He referenced historical instances where America prioritized its own strategic needs over its allies, notably hinting at past betrayals such as during the support of the USSR against Japan. Sikorski raised concerns that similar scenarios could occur in the future, particularly if the U.S. finds it necessary to engage with Russia in its rivalry with China.

Sikorski urged Polish political factions, especially right-wing opposition groups, to understand and remember history when advocating for a close alignment with the United States. He argued that while there are overlapping interests, there are also significant differences that should not be overlooked. The geopolitical landscape is shifting, and reliance on the assumptions of unwavering American support may lead to dangerous complacency in Polish foreign policy.

He further elaborated on the limitations that the U.S. faces, particularly its military capacity, which has been articulated by the Pentagon over the last two decades—specifically, the inability to engage in two major conflicts simultaneously. Sikorski expressed frustration with the Polish right's inability to grasp this reality and called for a more nuanced understanding of international relations, as the future dynamics of global power shifts could have serious implications for Poland's security and independence.
