This past week, the Warsaw Freedom Institute hosted a timely webinar on Europe’s urgent need to prepare for reduced American support and assume a more central role in security. In this shifting power balance, Poland has emerged as a prominent leader, as questions of defense and stability move to the forefront of policymaking. With transatlantic relations entering a new chapter, Europe must look toward greater independence - turning to Eastern European allies whose potential has long been underestimated. Yet growing polarization is testing the continent’s unity, requiring leaders to prepare their publics for new responsibilities and new challenges ahead.

Thank you to our amazing speakers who shared their expertise and perspectives on this crucial moment for Europe’s future including:

Amb. Marek Magierowski
Prof. Jim Mazurkiewicz (WFI Board Chairman)
Dr. Andrew Michta
Dr. Stefan Meister
Laure Mandeville
Antonia Ferrier
Amb. Dr. Reka Szemerkenyi
Dr. Amanda Dziubańska

“What makes this entire thing work? Poland.” 🇵🇱

In a recent conversation, Prof. James Carafano delivered a powerful assessment of Poland’s critical role in European security and U.S. foreign policy. He argues that Poland isn’t just an ally – it’s the indispensable anchor of NATO’s Eastern Front.

With successive governments – across the political spectrum – investing in energy security, infrastructure, and military readiness, Poland has positioned itself as a “Cornerstone Frontier Defense State.” It’s not just about geography. It’s about political will, consistency, and commitment to shared values.

“Poland is the gift to America that keeps on giving.”

Why? A booming economy. A population committed to defense. A bipartisan approach to transatlantic cooperation that transcends ideological divides in both Washington and Warsaw.

At a time when global alliances are being tested, Carafano reminds us: U.S.-Polish relations are not just strong – they’re important and not something to take for granted.

🎥 Watch the full clip to hear why this bilateral partnership matters — now more than ever.
