Because Brussels is way too closely identified with the "old" Europe, whereas Poland represents the fresh young face of democracy in the Old World.
Just ask Donald Tusk. Tusk is President of the European Council, after all, and his musings have some schlepp. How a retrograde Polish right winger ever reached that office is a mystery to me; something akin to making Doug Ford Sec General of the UN. The reason the current anti-Iran "summit" is unfolding in Poland is because none of the core European nations of "Old Europe" want to encourage more Yankee-Doodle diddling in their affairs.
But Poland wants to host a US military base, and they want to call it Fort Trump.
So the anti-Iran summit happens. The highlights? We're seeing great strides in rapprochement between the only democracy in the Middle East and the almost-but-not-quite democracy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
And the mastermind behind this rapprochement is none other than Jared Kushner, the power behind the throne in Washington, if you believe the latest stories coming out of DC.
By golly... I think I see a Nobel Prize in young Jared's future!
