They get along fairly well with Czehs and Slovaks, they even solved the teritorial dispute over which Poland stabbed Czehs in the back before the WWII

Poland, sadly, is screwed by it's geography. Yes, it has it's own proud history, but it is stuck in between a number of powerful rivals whose history speaks for itself. The modern U.S.A., by comparison, just really lucked out geographically by having access to two oceans on each side and only two neighbors, one north and one south, with the one to the north quite pleasantly stable (other than the Quebec issue) and the one to the south more beset by internal issues to be too much of a threat. Unfortunately there is indeed some truth to the saying "good fences make good neighbors."

I doubt the EU or surrounding nations are willing to do an invasion
Trade Embargo's and Tariffs though, sure

Byelorussia has never fought Poland and was a part of its glory and culture for centuries.
The Ocean on the other hand let Gustavus Adolphus invade.

It's weird that the Ocean is winning, considering Poland is not neighboring it.

Poland's best neighbor is obviously the USA! We are the only Great Power to not try to enslave them or slaughter their people! I request that the USA be accepted as the best neighbor for all countries not in the Middle East!

However it was Roosevelt who convinced Churchill not to bother Stalin too much about things like Katyn forest and Warsaw uprising. USA never had a problem throwing their allies under bus, Poland included.
Not our best moment, like at all.
Though it still puts us above Austria who partitioned Poland right after they saved them from the turks.
I think they mean the Baltic Sea. Which could be construed as the Atlantic Ocean extending a tentacle and giving Poland a friendly pat on the head.
Of course that's only been a Polish coast for about a century. If you looked under enough rocks you could probably find someone who wanted to Make Pomerania Prussian Again.

With the benefit of hindsight, Unthinkable was a sensible option. Given what everyone knew then though, starting a fresh war against an 'ally' was a horrible idea. I do think someone should have shoved a tank in Stalin's face when it became apparent they were rigging the elections in the Eastern Bloc nations though.

I champion it, but I exclusively champion ridiculous territorial claims. France should receive the March of Barcelona again, for instance.
Clearly this is the only solution.

That true.Medieval Lithuania was in fact Belorussia ruled by lithuanian dynasty - but even then,belorussian was court language.
Władysław Jagiełło,first lithuanian king on polish throne,had belorussian mother.
And they made far less problem for polish minority then Lithuania or Ukraine now.
Baltic sea - we twice tried to built fleet,but our gentry never gave enough money for it.so,everybody with one warship could invade us.
Come on, having Germany as a neighbour has done wonders for Poland's sense of self and independence. All it took them was like 6 million dead, being partitioned every couple of decades, and ending with 45 years of communist dictatorship. We're splendid neighbours. We never meddle in their affairs, we always respect their decisions, we're never overbearing... /sarc
