    What of it? Poland/Poles exist outside the thoughts and interests of other nations. And the number of thoughtful Poles is apparently insignificant (according to some).
    Spoiler!

    So you also think that Poland is a "rock" stuck in a very uncomfortable place?

    In the past you could go from Germany to Lithuania to Russia.

    Now you have to pass this "rock" even to go from Germany to Lithuania.

    Well, some kind of dislike, however. When there was the Brexit the existance of a growing number of Poles in the UK was spoken of as a motivation. (I don't think that it was just a general dislike of foreigners that preferrably and more politically correct was projected towards a white ethnicity.)

    I don't state that this dislike of Poles applies only to English. I just wanted to somewhat "correct" that appreciation of Poles that is expressed in that Churchill quote.

    Uncomfortable to others, yes.

    There is an enduring complaint, making up claims, self-identification as a victim, a constant feeling of being shortchanged and a pronounced Polish chauvinism.

    This is a simplification and I emphasise that this does not apply to every Pole, of course. But it applies to a proportion that is big enough for being repeatedly noted for having these characteristics. Peterska and Jaroslaw Kaczynski are good proxies for that.

    I fail to understand how my prediction of future events that have not unfolded yet can be a lie.

    Your portrayal of Russian character is not a future prediction, but a false narrative and a slur on a whole nation.
