From its very beginning, the EU was, and continues to be, controlled by the communist globalist community...

For the benefits of free trade, all these countries had to do was give up their basic freedoms of thought, speech, national identity, national election control, national policy, and foreign policy...

Come to think about it, that’s precisely what the American citizens did in the 1960s & 1970s...

they’re being punished because they didn’t allow their countries to be overrun by Middle Easterners and Africans. The fact that they are taking in white Ukrainians is outraging the EU.

The last thing the EU or NATO should do is to alienate Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania, especially if Russia conquers Ukraine. Putin has claimed that the U.S. and NATO promised not to extend the alliance east of Germany. If his goal is to push NATO back to its Cold War borders, angering what would be front line States is the height of foolishness.

There are old boundary disputes in Eastern Europe that, assuming Russia wins, could be used as enticements to have these countries leave the NATO and EU alliances. By nullifying Stalin's 1945 annexation of the Lvov area, Ruthenia, and Moldova, and returning them to Poland, Slovakia, and Romania, respectively, Putin could build up some good will.

However, Ukraine may accept Russian terms or may even successfully resist the invasion.

This is what Ukraine has to look forward to if they “win”—getting turned into a third world/pervert infested wasteland.

With “friends” like that who needs enemies.

Free Trade would have been nice. But the EU turned to be a anti-competitive quota union.

Think 'roach motel'.

Maybe the best result is if Russia gets rid of Putin, and all the Slavic people finally unite and tell the EU to FOAD!

The Western European elites are mad at them for not accepting the right kind of “immigrants”. That being military age muslim males.....the very ones Germany stupidly let come in the millions and then were desperate to offload some of.

Poland and Hungary have been perfectly willing to welcome REAL refugees from a fellow European country. But of course, taking in other Europeans who if they settled in those countries would quickly assimilate is not at all what Soros and the globalists want.

The EU is punishing Poland more than they are punishing Russia.

That would be a great outcome, but of course the Western plutocrats would fight an independent Eastern Europe tooth and nail.

The Bill Clinton war in Yugoslavia showed that the Russians have no monopoly on savage attacks on civilians.

Yes indeed... You are quite correct...
That was the long-term, albeit unspoken, goal of the EU concept...

If I were Poland I couldn’t care less. 17,000 of ATGMs and MANPADs, tens of thousands of soldiers of fortune transiting through their territory without any accountability is the real problem.
Expect the airliner to go down in MANPAD very shortly.

Poland is being punished because they please Polish law above EU law. Just like all other EU nations do whenever it suits them. But Poland is right-winged so the EU lefties hate them.
