Between Yemeni civil war, Ethiopian civil war next door and Somalis raiding anything that floats between those two and doesn't shoot back, this region just can't catch a breather.

Let's imagine a situation Ukraine is facing where Russia is bombing electric plants. If France/Germany built it and say controlled its operation, Poland could suddenly hear they're shutting it off for security, blacking out the country in the middle of a war. The decision making of strategic assets must lay exclusively in the country possessing them, or be built by a country without an interest in which conditions it's being used. That's only one example, multiple more security concerns are there as well.

Japan would be a nice choice too, but the logistics probably would be an issue. Germany/France are out of question for national security, which is more important than cost of potential price difference.

Love how the whole thread is random nationalities telling where Poland should do its shopping. As the only Pole in this thread so far - we'll do them wherever we damn please. And it most likely isn't going to be France or Germany when it comes to national security like weapons or energy.

> lose there civilised nation status

I don't think any country that knows (read: borders) russia ever considered it civilized to begin with.
