I think the gauntlet has been thrown. The Poles are threatening the very economic future of Ukraine with this statement. I still have to wonder how the EU will be able to grant Ukraine membership considering the basket case of a nation it is and will continue to be for the foreseeable future but that's another issue. Membership in the EU is probably the best they can hope for in the short term too. Russia will not allow membership of Ukraine in NATO and I think we can all agree that they have enough nations on their side (or sitting on the sidelines) to make a fight between Russia and 32 nations still a costly victory despite the lopsided nature of the thing.
