As if those populists were relevant outside of Poland.
I’m sure it hard for Poland, on one hand not liking Russians but on the other hand having to help out a country like Ukraine that celebrates Nazi collaborators
This is what putin is good at. Head games! He’s a joke as a commander and chief but is trying to break NATO. We can not let him succeed, wake the fuck up people. Ukraine is just the start, Taiwan is next as putin and xi are partners. Eventually this will start a world war with nuclear power. Stop this bullshit now, and give Ukraine everything. Push Russia out of it’s territory now before more civilians are killed, more Ukrainian children are abducted and groomed, and sons and father’s are killed needlessly. This needs to end in Ukraine, or my sons could end up in a preventable war.
Germany is our punching bag for 1050 years by now BTW
Polish elections are wild. Suddenly Germany and Ukraine became evil adversaries overnight for no fucking reason whatsoever. I get it, a fairly moderate party in power trying to ponder to far-right cooks for votes so Slovakia bullshit won’t happen, but really hope this madness ends after the 15th.
Last year I was in Poznań for an academic conference on ancient empires and imperialism, everything was going normally, then out of nowhere this one Polish guy in the audience began shouting and accusing Germany and EU of being the latest examples of imperialistic oppression, with many joining him in applause – we had to pause the schedule before a brawl breaks out (several of the presenters were German and they weren’t pleased at all). It was quite an eye-opener for me since I had no idea how deep and prevalent this rhetoric of Polish-German antagonism ran; it was also super ironic because not only did the institute we were in partially funded by EU money, even the podium and projector in that very room were donated by Germany.
Polish government is such a shit show now. If they win this time I’m worried that poland will start ww3. They see the enemy in everyone…
