Oh it's Duda, you can safely disregard that.

We already had the Cuban missile crisis before, we don't need this shit again. This time it might go differently.

While I can understand Poland's desire to have nuclear weapons available, this seems like it would be a really provocative step towards Russia. Nuclear weapons positioned that close to Russia will raise the threat of a nuclear first strike against Russia. Even without an unstable strongman in charge of Russia, it's easy to see how a Russian government would be uncomfortable with this. At the same time, with an unstable strongman in charge of Russia, the provocation may not matter. Putin has proven he is willing to invade his neighbor and slaughter thousands, without provocation. So, I'm sure Poland isn't as worried about provocation as they are defense.

Available to whom? Do you think he meant nonexistent Polish nukes? Or maybe USA ones which will be entirely outside Poland control.

Duda said it? Yeah let's just ignore that

Unnecessary, there is nothing Poland can offer that isn't already guaranteed by an Ohio class submarine
