  3. A polish minister is helping ruzzians to sell stolen Ukrainian grain in Europe. I ask: Shoul’t you a**hole start to act as normal human being?

  4. As far as I know, Ukraine has never asked for US or EU boots on the ground, only weapons. We are expending only treasure, not blood. So IMO that is an inappropriate question to ask that barber.

  5. “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”

    George Orwell, Animal Farm

  8. A frank and tense exchange. Ukraine and Poland are going to have to find common ground on historical accounts to move forward. What separates those who can move forward is the ability to realize the duality of people. They can do both great and hotrible things.

    American founders fought for independence and helped birth a new era of democracy that while flawed, moves us closer to a just world.

    They also committed genocide against natives and enslaved Africans.

    History can’t judge them for only one or the other, and their pictures and statues mean different things to different people, but it is in these differences we learn to value other perspectives and move forward together.

  9. I haven’t read the article yet but the question can be either appropriate or not depending on the tone and context of how it was asked.

  10. A disgrace to Poland.

    Im ashamed of having anything in common with him.

    Pierdoli głupoty na okrągło, pizda jebana.

  11. Why doesn’t he go on the frontline lmao

    Cool guy but weird ass thing to tell to your barber

  12. Nobody who is not themselves on the front, harboring Ukrainian refugees, or in any other way contributing directly to Ukraine’s fight, has any right to say this.

  14. > Ukraine almost 3 years in row have ENORMOUS decisit of all arms. Even few days ago Zelensky outright said that West promised weapons for 14 already trained brigades, but delivered for less than 4…

    > Western politicians 3 years in row talk about some abstract “soldiers shortage.”

  15. No, he did not ask him that. The context is wrong. Makes no sense. 

  16. Imo all the Eastern European countries should fight in Ukraine, because if they fall its double hard to fight russia then, when they come for us. If we do though, we lose article 5, but its a bit of treatorous towards Ukraine.
    That said Radoslaw should not throw stones when he lives in a glass house.

  17. Yeah, he may be defending Ukraine, and Poland (and other NATO countries) should be downing russian drones/missiles passing close or even inside their own air space instead of acting like chickens…

  18. I just flew from Warsaw to USA and half the plane was young healthy Ukrainian men who seem to be avoiding service. Ukraine can’t win a war if their young men continue to flee.

  19. I know the title is clickbaity, but Sikorski recently said that he has an idea which involves cutting social help for able bodied Ukrainian men who immigrated into Poland, in order to force them back to Ukraine so they fight. I’m from Poland and in no way do I support this or think that its even moral to do that.

  20. And he replies, “Shouldn’t you be defending Ukraine? You realize Poland is next, right?”

  21. A stupid, crass comment. Perhaps the barber is involved in raising aid for Ukraine and shipping drones to the front line. Unless you know shut the fuck up you stupid, stupid Foreign Minister. 

  22. I was in a war. Infantry for 5 years and got out. I understand people not wanting to be in a war. It will affect you the rest of your life.

    Ukraine is in a tough position.

  24. It’s kind of wrong to expect every Ukrainian man to fight in this war. Also, many Ukrainians who live abroad right now are supporting the army in other ways such as financially or sending gear and equipment from west to Ukraine. These people are just as vital as frontline soldiers. Without these people, Ukraine wouldn’t have such an effective and large drone army. Also, this is a very brutal war, the chances of dying or getting seriously wounded are very high. It’s one thing if you survive or die, but what if you lose your limbs and survive, and now you have to rely on someone to wipe your ass for the rest of your life. During the middle eastern wars, the French foreign legion had the highest casualty rates from all Nato units. During a 5 year contract, your chances of dying were 10%. In this current war, the chances of dying are over 50%

  25. I fly a a Ukrainian flag on my boat around the UK canal network. Not surprisingly I get to speak to Ukrainian men who ask about it. They invariably fall into 2 categories. They are refugees looking after their children because their wife, the children’s mother, has been killed in the war, or they have served already and been demobilised. Whilst not the case for everyone, just cutting benefits is definitely not the answer.

  26. I’ll be sure to ask my Ukrainian friends here the same dumb question.

  30. You know what the doctor says…

    25 full busses of dead Russian soldiers a day keeps the Kremlin away.

  31. He probably doesn’t want to pay a fair price so he gets his hair cut by a refugee

  32. Ukrainians need to volunteer for their nation. It might cost them their lives, but it’s the only way to preserve your country.

  34. Clickbait title. I just CTRL+F, typed “barber”, read the story and left. Had it been titled “Polish FM interview about Ukraine” I may have read it fully.

  35. if he is so brave, why are they afraid to shoot down russian missiles that even cross into their territory?

  36. I’m to my shame medically disqualified from further infantry service after my time in the U.S. army. I’ve tried to make up for it via donation, and urging others to donate. Putin and his like cannot win this, if they do than it will only lead to more widespread suffering. I praise Ukraine and its people. They have demonstrated fortitude that is nothing short of legendary.

    I feel ashamed of the US right now, I do not understand why we hamper the defense in such a way, I am not alone in feeling this way. I agree with most everything else with the executive but not this. restricting Ukraines use of arms is a colossal mistake that will have consequences,

  37. Not everyone wants to fight a war and I think that’s fine. People should have a choice but should also live with the consequences.
