Andrew, this is terrible. I’m appalled, and once again you were right (maybe I should stop contradicting you). Yesterday, Macron was in Poland with Tusk, laying out exactly what you had predicted regarding what he plans to put in place in terms of nuclear protection. It’s horrifying. French aircraft carrying French nuclear bombs stationed in Poland—horrifying. Most of the serious press is so dismayed that they aren’t even talking about it. Only the pro-Macron regional press is praising it as something fantastic. As far as I know, there has been no political reaction. It’s terrifying. Weren’t 1812 and 1940 enough for these fools?

I’m furious.

I know Putin has a feline kind of caution, but this… seriously… how could the Russians possibly tolerate jets carrying nuclear bombs in Poland? Especially when they launched the war in Ukraine largely because of the U.S. Aegis systems in Poland and Romania, which were only potentially capable of being nuclear-armed.

Have the stubborn idiots who govern us, by repeatedly crossing Russian red lines with impunity, sunk into such hubris that they’re incapable of seeing that this would be a genuine casus belli, very likely to trigger an official and irreversible ultimatum from Russia—with all the consequences that would entail?

The same narrow-minded French arrogance as in 1812, which drove Caulaincourt to despair? Already largely because of Poland and because of contempt for the Russians.

The same reckless, blustering foolishness of 1940, again over Poland. The two worst disasters in our history. Madness.

Oh, but the combination of French and Polish arrogance can only be sublime...

Yes, Berezina 1812, Sedan 1940. Sublime.

Perhaps the answer is far more simple. The people running the West are seeking Armageddon rather than trying to avoid it. They are Satanic.

The West's Salvation will come from the East and with it fire and brimstone.

The fued between Ukrainians & Poles has been going on for 800 years. Both sided have committed horrible crimes AGAINST EACH OTHER . It is 2026 , time to reconsile & get back to civil behavior.

Nope. Ukrainians lived kind of in peace under the Polish rule until Khmelnitzki in mid-17th century or so. It was oppressive, but then, it was oppressive everywhere across the world then.

I highly recommend documentary by Polish Institute of National Remembrance about Volhynia Genocide committed by Ukrainians on Poles. It is on youtube under tiltle: Zmarłych pogrzebać – film dokumentalny o Zbrodni Wołyńskiej (English subtitles) You just need to turn the English subtitles.

The Ukrainians, just like the Mexicans in the US , will never assimilate because of the close proximity of their own country. They can just travel back and forth and get the " best of both worlds". Additionally, if enough Ukrainians, just like the Mexicans, settled near the Ukrainian border they will demand some type of autonomy or union with Ukraine. They need to be forced out of Poland immediately.

The Poles have no choice. They are comitted to their anti-Russian stance, so they will swallow the Ukrainian claims, even though disgusted. It was the same with the US after WW2 - they needed to accommodate Western Germany, so they released every Nazi criminal still in detention after 1950.

I am a bit sceptical though if Ukrainian action against Poland as the whole rises to the level of genocide unlike that with Jews. Ethnic cleansing accompanied with mass massacres would be more objective. After all, lots of Poles could flee to Poland. After WW2 Poles themselves also did a lot of ethnic cleansing. Not just against the Germans in East Prussia, Silesia and Pommerania, but also against Ukrainians, Belorussians and of course the few remaining Jews. For example the well-researched massacre in Kielce in 1946.

" For example the well-researched massacre in Kielce in 1946. "

Dont just stop there, research what the ((( communists ))) in the Polish government did after the war ended.

It should be painfully obvious that many of the EU's leaders are fascists, just like the Banderites.

It should also be obvious that it will again be up to Russia to defend the world against these animals.

If by "fascist" you mean National Socialist then look closer into what kind of system China currently has. If it quacks like a duck , ...........................
