of course sovereignty comes from the will of the people. its impossible to hold power without legitimization from the population in one way or another. this is precisely why the government in afghanistan collapsed overnight - it had no real support from the people and no amount of money being poured into it could sustain it. its a different question what this legitimization is based upon and how it comes to manifest itself. for the developed world its usually elections, for others its the lack of riots and revolutions, which occur when the current government no longer possesses the mandate of heaven. but that's not what i am talking about here anyway. the bottom-line here is - poland could have any kind of legitimization mechanisms, democratic or completely authoritarian, but whichever it has, it still will not be able to take a decision for itself, since the decisions for the country are made in washington and brussels, not in warsaw. the decisions for russia are being taken in moscow, regardless of how the government there came to power. and neither option is inherently bad. i am not criticizing you here, just explaining what your choice essentially entails. you are getting defensive for no reason at all, i am not telling you to free yourself from the west and strive to be completely independent from any bloc. for poland it might be the best the way you are right now.
