It urges coordinated NATO diplomacy to support Poles, Solidarity, and the Church without provoking a Russian invasion, noting Poland will likely not become a democracy but may renew amidst repression. The outcome may redefine global power dynamics.

In a New York Times piece from Boston Anthony Lewis argues the Polish martial law and Sakharov hunger strike expose the Soviet system's failure to deliver freedom or food. Repression fails to solve economic woes, risks spreading discontent, and highlights the regime's political bankruptcy.
