I am not a great fan of the new EU treaty either, but that issue transcends realpolitik
The twin morons are fanatics, and their prime agenda is not some EU politics, but rather weakening Germany.
You can't make realpolitik with mindless fanatics and those two have no further agenda than to hurt Germany wherever they can.
At least they're too weak to do any real damage.
There's no political agenda behind them burt simple raw hatred for Germany, that means in the long term, for you and me. We can do whatever we want, Skybird, in the long term, for those people we're just the enemy, and so they should be for us.
Israel wouldnt do short-term alliances with the Hamas either, whatever the long term benefit.
You see that on many levels. The current govermnent bans Goethe and even Grass (who's definitely pro polish) from schools and replaces them with nationalist literature. They stop german-polish youth exchanges.
Simply put, they want to breed hate for anything german in the younger generation.
The only good thing is that only a minority of the younger poles seem to share that agenda.
Personally I know a bunch of poles and I never had any problems with them.
I suppose this is a generation problem and will solve itself in time. But until that, Germany should adopt a harsh stance against Poland wherever possible.
