Thank you, Poland – One of the names most often bandied about as the new defence commissioner (a role that would be created from scratch) is that of Radosław Sikorski, Poland’s current foreign minister. Former journalist, 20 years’ experience in politics and a friend of the United States (he was the one who wrote a tweet, then deleted, saying “Thank you, USA” after the Nord Stream 2 sabotage in 2022): a respectable CV for a position that is likely to be even less relevant than the High Representative for Foreign Affairs
