Under the title “Equal guy and oddball” Jan Puhl in “Der Spiegel” examines why there is little chance that Jaroslaw Kaczynski said Andrzej Duda’s success in the next election.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski will not repeat the success of Andrzej Duda?
/ Agency Forum
” Andrzej Duda – so it will be called the national-conservative future president of Poland, but was elected as Main Gauche. He won the support of the electorate by promises made on social issues for young university graduates, retirees and families “- calculates the author of the commentary in the German weekly.
Completely different themes
“It just fell on fertile ground voters, not the national-conservative content that were previously the domain of Law and Justice. Duda Catholic traditionalism he fused with social populism, avoiding the current favorite topics right: Germans, who allegedly try to wash away all the guilt, the EU, which supposedly protects only the interests of hegemonic Berlin and the Smolensk disaster, which allegedly was the Russian fell swoop “.
“Spiegel” explains German readers that more than 60 percent. young voters, with the group for 29 years, voted for Duda. This is a fantastic result for a party that has relied on voters with a group of over 50-year-olds with structurally weak regions in eastern Polish.
winged Justice and ballast
“Now PiS is entering the winged in the general election campaign in the fall – the risk of squandering this advantage. More and more because it indicates that the founder of Law and Justice Jaroslaw Kaczynski will race as a leading candidate. Yet he is regarded within the party as the epitome of the” political spirit ” but elsewhere it is more of terror. It is the opposite Bagpipe “- it reads.
” Jaroslaw Kaczynski is zdziwaczałym, 65-year old bachelor, who until recently lived with his mother. 43-year-old Duda presented himself whereas during the campaign as equal to man, supported by his wife Agatha and her daughter Kinga, “writes Jan Puhl, remembering, too, that when before almost 10 years ago, tragically Kaczynski and his twin brother died together ruled the country, caused a quarrel in Poland and made it in EU outsider.
“Therefore, it is unlikely that Kaczynski repeated his bagpipes: Poland is today a respected partner in the EU, its western regions and big cities economically bloom. The polls Europe has record support. For this reason, Kaczynski is a burden not only for neighboring countries, but also for his own party, “says the commentator,” Der Spiegel “.

Russian planes are increasingly running adventurous flights to provoke the air forces of Western countries Photo: PAP / ITAR-TASS / Yuri Smityuk
- The Baltic states are experiencing a dramatic intensification of military aviation provocative actions of Russia, which increases tension in the region already plagued by fears the expansion of Moscow’s political influence – alerts “Financial Times”. Russian planes also intensifying provocations against other Western countries.
guarding the airspace of post-Soviet Baltic states of NATO fighters competed this year in emergency mode because of the threat the border of Lithuania 68 times – more often than ever for more than 10 years. Latvia recorded 150 “close incidents,” or cases nadlatywania and risky maneuver of Russian aircraft. Estonia reported that its airspace was violated in this year by Russian aircraft five times, while the previous eight years a total of seven times. Object of provocations from the Russian Air Force is not only the former Soviet Republics, but also the Nordic state over Baltic coast.
This year there have already been five incursions into the airspace of Finland, which already happened twice yearly average.
September 17 – the anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 – two tactical bombers, Su-24 flew over the Swedish island of Oland. Sweden’s foreign minister, former prime minister and co-author of the EU program “Eastern Partnership”, Carl Bildt described the incident as “the most serious breach of airspace” from the time when eight years ago he was appointed head of diplomacy.
Both the Nordic countries They are formally neutral, but in the face of the growing threat from Russia strengthen its relations with NATO. Russian adventurism air is directed mainly against the Baltic states, but its intensification has a range of wider and also concerns other NATO countries, including Canada, USA, the Netherlands, Romania and the UK – selects the “Financial Times”. September 17 two fighters F-22 US Air Force will pick up in alarm mode to capture off the coast of Alaska the six Russian military aircraft: two MiG-31, two Machine refueling aircraft IL-78 and two strategic bombers Tu-95.
The next day, two Canadian CF-18 fighter jets took off to meet with the two Tu-95 bombers over the Arctic Beaufort Sea.
These events coincided with the visits of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko in Washington and Ottawa. September 19 two British Typhoon fighter jets were sent from the base Lossiemouth in Scotland to intercept two aircraft Tu-95, approaching the northern reaches of NATO air defense zone. writes, “FT,” in many cases do not occur crossing by Russian planes extending 12 nautical miles from the coast border airspace of NATO countries. The Russians limited themselves to fly into the air defense identification zone, where the movement of foreign aircraft are also covered by the audit. In typical cases, the Russian machine excluded the transmitters in this zone identification code and changed the standard flight plan, or in general it did not represent, making them invisible to civilian air traffic control systems.
Japan for the first time will participate in the US-Australian military exercise “Talisman Saber”. This decision is another piece inspired by the Washington strategy of creating a coalition that is opposed to Chinese power.
Japanese land forces command decided to send troops to the US-Australian military exercises great “Talisman Saber”. The exercises, which will start on July 7, will participate in a total of about 27,000 soldiers.
The Japanese explained this decision tactical desire to improve cooperation with US forces. The reality is, however, something more. This is another element of progressive realization of the great American plan – to strengthen military cooperation democratic powers of East Asia, which is to counterbalance the growing strength of China.

USA furnishes East Asia
This is not the first attempt to bring the Americans their order in the western part of the Pacific. Is based on the alliances established after World War II, mainly from Japan, but also with South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and Australia.
During the Cold War about building blocks and the global anti-ideological rivalry with the Soviet Union . Once the Soviet Union collapsed, the US cooperation with some of the East Asian allies ceased to be so natural and has been somewhat loosened. Closed, among others, a large US military base at Subic Bay in the Philippines.
However, for several years, especially since the announcement in 2012 by the Barack Obama “return to Asia”, in the region there is a new dynamic. The growing power of China led not only the US, but also their Cold War allies to re-strengthen your relationships. This time the military cooperation not restrain communism, but China, which are becoming regional policy becoming more assertive.
The Return of the US towards Asia is based not only on security issues, but these are potentially the most dangerous component. By 2020, the Pacific arranged to be additional US forces, including six with probably 11 aircraft carrier groups held then. The key aspect here is the fact that cooperating with the US State very tightly surround China from the east, preventing them from free access to the Pacific Ocean.
Military ring around China
Sealing “the Ring “
Japan to be the northern edge of this military alliance, which, like a ring surrounds China from the sea. This is the second after China regional power since the end of World War II is a key ally of Washington, and stationed on its territory nearly 50,000 American soldiers.
Last year’s reinterpretation of Japan’s pacifist constitution and revision of the military alliance with the US in April 2015. for the first time after World War II allowed Japanese troops to participate in military operations in other parts of the world and a global military cooperation. As pointed out by the leaders of both countries, they gave a new direction to their alliance.

At the borders of China
The central section of the “Ring” is to be the closest to the Chinese territory of South Korea and Taiwan. In Korea, stationed 28.5 thousand. American soldiers and it is the second, next to Japan, the most important US ally in the region. Moreover, in case of war, the Americans also have to take command of the Korean troops.
US relations with Taiwan are burdened with considerable opposition from Beijing, which prevents the presence of American troops on the island or joint military exercises, significantly hinders the sale weapons. Taiwan, however, has American security guarantees in the event of a confrontation with China would become one of the key allies.
Southern “closing”
From the south, “close properly the lap” is Australia, whose territory is located among others US-Australian satellite tracking station. Last year military agreement was signed, under which the number of US troops stationed in the country is expected to rise to 2.5 thousand. There are also discussions on the establishment of small US naval base, and both countries combines a full-fledged military alliance.

This skeleton is sealed additionally less significant in cooperation with several other countries in the region, including with Singapore, where US ships stationed whether Indonesia and the Philippines, which in the past year the US signed a new agreement to extend military cooperation.
The three pillars of cooperation
Creates a coalition military base itself is on three pillars. Chief among them is a political agreement in which these countries share a sense of threat from China and consider the US presence in the region as a guarantor of stability. Countries in the region in varying degrees, represent such a position is clearly conducive to strengthening them but becoming more confrontational policy of China.
Washington likes to add to this “commitment to shared democratic values,” but it is rather convenient coincidence. Americans are equally eager to create for strategic alliances with non-democratic countries, as you can see from the example of their cooperation with Saudi Arabia.

Compatible equipment
The second element is the use of similar, compatible military equipment. All forming the “ring” countries use American weapons and technology, or their own designs, which are based on or at least adapted to cooperate with American equipment.
About how crucial is the compatibility of modern weapons, we have seen on Example built according to Russian demands French Mistral-class ships, which, despite suspend the execution of the contract, not being able to take over the French navy.

More frequent maneuvers
The third pillar is the real military cooperation, developed in the course of an increasing number of joint exercises. These are primarily bilateral or multilateral exercises involving the US military, as, among others, annual spring maneuvers on the Korean Peninsula or MALABAR naval exercises involving India, and sometimes Japan, Australia and Singapore.
More frequent maneuvers countries are also wary of China without the Americans. Especially motivating work in this area Chinese claims on the South China Sea, the intensity of which recently resulted in, among others, two weeks ago for joint exercises fleets of Japan and the Philippines.
Hard clash with reality
Create a ring of US-led military that surrounds China, it is doomed to fail, because there are internal animosities between having them create states. Their source is especially Japan, which has still not come to terms with its imperialist past. It is of great importance, among others, in Korean-Japanese relations and could be pushed aside only in the face really serious external threat.

Another problem is fairly average level of pro-American sympathies in the region. In some countries, such as. In Indonesia, remains a significant mistrust and aversion to Washington’s policies, in others, such as South Korea and Japan, it is apparent fatigue presence of US troops. The result also created concepts guaranteeing security without such a key role of the United States. Japan for example. Offers countries of Southeast Asia development of bilateral relations serving the deterrence of China.
Obvious it is also a sense of threat from China. Despite the existing territorial disputes in the region, wanting it or not, China is the most powerful regional neighbor and nobody cares too hasty nadwyrężaniu bilateral relations.

It is important to note that Beijing is now the most important economic partner of almost all countries in the region and as such brings not only a hypothetical threat, but above all a real benefit. Fear of nierozdrażnianiem China and therefore subject is economic losses as a result of an important factor limiting military cooperation with the Americans.
The fate of the “ring” in the hands of China
Ironically, can therefore be concluded that it Beijing will decide the success created by the US “ring” around China’s coasts. If it he was able to grow in strength and pursue their own interests while respecting the interests of other countries in the region, the US will remain “an ally reserve”, which should maintain relationships, but not at the expense of cooperation with China.
However, if the Chinese policy Regional proves to be too confrontational, Beijing East Asian neighbors will force himself into the arms of Washington. In this way greatly complicate you’re getting the status of a “responsible great power” which aspires proudly.
