The current Polish government–reactionary, nationalist, ruthless, and paranoid–is the ideological soul mate of the Trump Administration. And yet, the Poles view Trump with a large degree of trepidation. Why?
Simply put, Trump was elected to make America, not Poland, great again. He would have no qualms whatsoever about cutting a deal with Putin to the great disadvantage of the Poles if it served narrow American interests, as he defines them.
Therein lies the contradiction between the nationalist and the internationalist strains of Bannonite thought. You can’t rely on a coalition of right-wing nationalists in different countries to work together in a clash of civilizations with Islamic extremists, because, by definition, they’re all out to screw each other for the benefit of their own country.
