Honestly, nothing is happening. Poland is just returning to its ‘factory settings’. It has always been like this, perhaps except for a short period in the 1990s.
Honestly, what the hell is happening in Poland? These anti-Ukraine sentiments seem to be escalating rapidly.
A post about assaults on Ukrainian children in Polish schools has received nearly 9.000 laughing reactions from ‘ordinary Polish people.’ www.facebook.com/share/p/1Diz...
The only uncertainty is whether Trump is doing this because of his obsession with dictators or because he is bribed every time.
If you cannot accept that what Trump has done over the last year and a half is starve Ukraine of air defense, and put off any new aid for as long as possible, so Putin can terrorize Ukraine from the air for as long as possible--you cannot accept reality.
I have just watched Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey.' Garbage. Over three hours, there is not a single mention of Odessa.
1. They halted aid. 2. They pressured Ukraine to surrender. 3. They increased oil prices due to the Iran war. 4. They lifted sanctions on Russian oil. 5. They demand Ukraine not to target Russian oil exports. [we are here]
It appears the Russian population has a particular sensitivity. They are indifferent to the hundreds of thousands of KIA and WIA, but if their slippers or underwear stocks catch fire, it becomes a tragedy.
Some insights on geopolitics from Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, commander of Unmanned Systems Forces.
Sixteen air alerts in Odesa within 24 hours. Twelve missiles and several dozen Shaheds.
Poland today. A random Pole assaults a 13-year-old Ukrainian girl. One can imagine what a Nazi hellhole Poland was in the 1930s. That is exactly what Ukrainian insurgents were fighting against.
R.I.P. Sen. Lindsey Graham Against all odds he was a true friend and supporter of Ukraine.
We come to the point where Russia strikes a Coca-Cola warehouse with ballistic missiles.

To clarify, the Polish ex-Chief of the General Staff used towards Ukrainians the wording ‘strategic chamstwo’ (from biblical Curse of Ham), which in Polish refers to medieval serfs (chłop, bydło) Literally a racist comment
Yet another thousand-year Reich just emerged 🤡
JD Vance urging the Ukrainians to be defensive is peak pro-Putin lobbying by the Trump administration. Now that Ukraine is doing better than they ever imagined, they want Ukraine to back off and take a deal Putin would go for. Nothing has changed. The US is with Russia.

❗️Breaking❗️ As part of an anti-DEI campaign, the Trump administration has fired the elephants 🐘 and the turtle 🐢 ‼️
The book explores how modern Poland created a system of laws, policies, and institutions—such as IPN, with a $150 million annual budget—solely to whitewash the role of Polish citizens in the Holocaust and to shape Poland's image as the primary victim of WW2 utppublishing.com/doi/preview-...
UPD Following Nawrotcki's decision to strip Zelenskyy of the White Eagle Order, all living former Ukrainian presidents (Kuchma, Yuschenko, and Poroshenko) decided to renounce the same orders and return them to Poland.
I really do not know what Polish politicians were counting on in this case. The choice between dignity and Polish fashion jewelry is clear. Yet I am personally grateful to Mr. Nawrotski for reminding Ukrainians of the political marauders surrounding us. Zalenskyy & Nova Poshta are the Best

We definitely do not need yet another negotiator on the Russian side.
🇵🇱 Tusk: I made a clear declaration after discussions began about who could represent the European Union in potential negotiations with Russia. These will be decisions in which Poland must participate directly; otherwise, we will not respect any agreements.
🇺🇦❗️🇵🇱 FM Sybiha reacted to Nawrocki's decision regarding Zelensky's Order of the White Eagle and returns his own award to Poland "The decision to deprive the President of Ukraine of the Order of the White Eagle is a strategic mistake of the President of Poland, from which only Moscow benefits.
