The recipient, who has a sordid history of glorifying those who genocided Poles during World War II, threatened to kill a presidential candidate after he condemned Ukraine’s cult of Bandera while in Lvov.
“The latest scandal in Polish-Ukrainian relations isn’t over grain, the Volhynia Genocide dispute, or the question of dispatching peacekeepers there, but over Poland’s earlier funding of a Ukrainian blogger. Vakhtiang Kipiani, a Ukrainian of Georgian heritage, threatened on Facebook that populist-nationalist Polish presidential candidate Slawomir Mentzen will meet the fate of an interwar Polish minister who was infamously assassinated by the “Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists” (OUN) on Bandera’s orders.
Mentzen had earlier recorded a video during his recent trip to Lvov where he stood in front of a Bandera statue and condemned him as a terrorist. He then responded to Kipiani’s threat by pointing out how he was awarded the Order of Stepan Bandera and even the Medal of Gratitude from the European Solidarity Centre in Gdansk. Mentzen also called on Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski to react to this egregious provocation against a presidential candidate as well as to Ukraine’s glorification of Bandera.”
Sounds a little like our USAID funding scandals in which US dollars meant to promote US national interests and to influence others to become friendly to the U.S. instead went to groups utterly hostile to the USA.
The problem was that USAID was recruiting people for its offices that were not friendly to the USA. Even if they had US citizenship. The underlying root is that US schools and universities simply teach hostility to the US state. Obviously that can happen in Poland too. But not in Russia anymore.
These smaller, weaker nations were constantly looking for a place under the sun, searching for useful geopolitical associations. North Korea aligned with communism early and substantially profited from Soviet and Chinese help as a result. Was it not for the Chinese armies North Korea could not have remained independent after the early 1950s. Hungary aligned with Germany after she was deprived of two third of her territories in 1922. In the late 1930s a strengthening cooperation with Hitler afforded the country a chance to regain some of the lost lands for a limited time. As Stalin’s position has solidified by around 1930 the Ukraine situation became an existential struggle and nationalists were grabbing for an opportunity when the German armies showed up in their backyards. They suffered horrifying losses during the early 1930s and were searching for a way to secure their independence from the Soviet State. Similar scenarios played out in the Baltic States during WWII. What I am trying to say is when you push a smaller nation to the wall they will grab any opportunity to struggle. Regardless, I am of the opinion that Ukraine had the opportunity and should have made a deal with Russia before and even after February 24 of 2022. Instead, they opted for an aggressive, dangerous and risky path, for the very unlikely scenario of winning a conflict against Russia. As an experience social scientist with very detailed studies in Soviet/Russian history it was clear to me from day one of this war that there were only two possible outcomes; A Russian victory or a nuclear conflict and either way, Ukraine was looking at the worst consequences. I kind of learned to take this communist/national socialist orientation with a grain of salt in many situations. My guess is that the Russian leadership will be looking at population trades after the war and will not try to permanently occupy and incorporate larger Ukrainian population groups.
The “Deep State” is doing its best to keep the Globalists in power and it’s backfiring all over Europe. They are being sought and broken up here in the US and now Poland sees what they’ve been up against for many years. The Globalists want power for themselves as they try and placate the masses to give up their personal freedoms. It’s been happening all over the world and recent elections show that NOBODY wants what they are selling. I’d expect Poland’s election to end with its right wing party winning. Poland needs to make sure that the EU doesn’t come in and void its election and results because they aren’t going to go the globalists way. What would be very useful is an investigation to where this money comes from. I’m not sure it actually would conclude that it comes from one central person but if I was a betting man Soros would be behind all these shenanigans. The Deep State is being found out and once it has its mask pulled off it’s met with a resounding NO. This is a glorious time in the history of the world.
I don't understand why you think that this backfired. The polish government knows perfectly well that the "freedom fighters" it promotes do not exactly love poles, sort of like how I.V. Kolomoiskii was well aware that the nazi paramilitaries he funded hated Jews like himself.
Lie with pigs and all that.
Or in this case: Lie with fascists, don’t be surprised to get fascism all over your fancy, globalist suit.
From the excellent article:
“The latest scandal in Polish-Ukrainian relations isn’t over grain, the Volhynia Genocide dispute, or the question of dispatching peacekeepers there, but over Poland’s earlier funding of a Ukrainian blogger.

I wonder if the Poles would do a more thorough job of cleaning out the Banderalists now when compared to how Russians would do it.
Obviously Polish People like that ukrabanderites urinating and spitting on them. This must be penis elenski Numero 5 (like CC No: 5).
