Who Wants to Fight?

From the looks of it, neither Vladimir Putin nor Donald Tusk want the Poland-Russia summit in Gdansk tomorrow on the WWII anniversary to turn into a slugfest … but seemingly everybody else does.  From Reuters:

Polish media reacted angrily on Monday to claims made on an official Russian website at the weekend that Poland’s foreign minister in 1939, Jozef Beck, was a Nazi German agent.

A Russian military academic also recently outraged Poles by suggesting Poland was to blame for the outbreak of war in 1939 because it had refused Germany’s ‘modest’ demands, which included annexing the free city of Gdansk (Danzig in German).
