Polish Generals Jump Ship

Wauck--who reads and speaks Polish--keeps up with these things.

The commanders of the Polish army have tendered their resignations. The resignations were submitted by General Raimund Andrzejczak, the Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army, and General Tomasz Piotrowski, the Commander of the Operational Staff. Both commanders' resignations were delivered to the Presidential Chancellery yesterday....

Polish national elections are this weekend.

...There is speculation that the resignations were timed to harm the ruling Law and Justice Party’s (PiS) electoral chances. PiS will almost certainly finish first, but this could increase the chances that it will be forced into a coalition with Ukraine-skeptical parties....

Slovakia has tapped out of the Ukraine fight.  Hungary is not interested.  Poland's political leaders are very noisy anti-Russians, but not from a position of strength.  Only a few days ago, Poland announced that it would stop sending materiel to Ukraine so as to preserve its own stocks.

Now the Generals .....

Hmmmm.
