Yes yes. East Europe. Tribalism and revenge for centuries old disputes. Let Europe deal with Europe.
Poland-Ukraine
Poland-Germany
Germany-France
They all used to hate each other. Then they all saw what happened if they don’t unite to keep out the Russians.
That sort of threat builds friendships very quickly.
The MERGING of what’s left of Ukraine with Poland, combined with the liberation of the Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine, pretty much means the end of what was Ukraine - and much better stability in that part of the world.
“ the massacres of some 100,000 Poles by Ukrainian nationalists during the 1940s”
Now remind me, what was the name of their leader?
Meh. They had one bad episode when Bandera’s people massacred a lot of ethnic Poles in western Ukraine in WWII. In 1919 they fought together against the Red Army. The interwar Polish government screwed that up by trying to suppress Ukrainian in schools and at the University in Lwow. When I was in Lviv several years ago all the locals swore the accusations against the Banderites were Soviet propaganda.
Polands making A LOT of money on this war....and that’s the only reason they’re supporting Ukraine.
The AP is saying let’s not let Poland and Ukriane outlive their past, live beyond their past rivalries and obtain peaceful cooperation on mutually beneficial terms. That premise also tries to ignore that modern day Poland has also taken in more refugees from Ukriane than any other counrtry in Europe. But, no the AP seems to want to keep old differences as more important than cooperation today.
I am not sure what Duda is trying to accomplish. He does not look good posing with a guy in a track suit.
This will not end well.
Ain’t that the truth
Ukraine sided with Nazi Germany against Russia. Local police and civilians murdered millions of their own jews without batting an eye
