Poland no longer arming Ukraine: Polish PM

Poland said Wednesday it will no longer arm Ukraine and instead focus on its own defense, as the two allies clashed at a key moment in Kyiv's fightback against invasion by Russia.

In a mounting row over grain exports from Ukraine, Poland summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to protest remarks at the UN by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Ukrainian leader said some countries were only pretending to support his nation as it wages a counteroffensive to retake land taken by Russia. Warsaw took offense at this.

The architect of containment strategy himself, George Kennan, warned that expanding NATO to Russia's doorstep would lead to war and that no Russian government would ever accept a Ukraine military allied to the West.

Turning Ukraine into a Victoria Nuland-inspired cash cow for Democrat donors/State Department flunkies has been first and foremost in a cascading series of missteps and miscalculations that have led us down this road.

US foreign policy needs to be based in realism and restraint. Once you begin meddling in the internal politics of a country, the only sure bet is there will be unforeseen consequences and blowback.

Remaking Ukraine in Victoria Nuland's image was a costly mistake, and ultimately it's the Ukrainians who are paying the price.

This is actually an excellent solution. Maybe you should run for office. (no sarcasm).

We have no leaders in Washington, just arm chair generals and warmongers.

And what if they don’t head west? Then what? Maybe he will. Maybe he won’t.

You seem to know quite a bit.

Must be all that intel you’ve obtained from being in the fight over there.

Oh wait, you just keyboard commando as if you know everything.

Thank you for the kind words. But I ran for class treasurer in the 7th grade. I was beaten in a brutal contest that involved personal slurs and crayon-throwing.

So I have forever sworn off running for office. But I am still open to leading a military coup at a later date.

And then Russia retaliates with the same and absolutely devastates Ukraine.

Great plan.

Look at the reaction of the U.S. when the Soviets decided to setup missiles in Cuba.

It’s just like a big row of dominos....

Does anybody make some sort of blue and yellow toilet paper??

Oh, come on. The US alone could easily spare a couple hundred F-16’s, and the stocks of compatible ATG missiles are huge. NATO has almost 3,400 fighter jets. How many HIMARS have been sent vs. what is available, and how many are being added to US and allied inventory just this year? Have you bothered to look it up?

Ukraine doesn’t need to reduce Russia to rubble. A very doable objective with a few more (50?) easily spared F-16’s and armaments plus maybe 100 ATACMS is cut off logistics to Crimea and sink or heavily damage the remaining larger Russian ships in the Black Sea. Then Pooty has a really big headache.

Hogwash. That's delusional propaganda from the usual warmongers in Washington who are the real aggressors, over and over and over and over.

More likely Poland is thinking in terms of a land grab in Galicia itself though.

I would like to see links to citations that Putin is planning to take over Europe.

It used to be Poland that was spit roasted by Germany and Russia, now Ukraine will be spit roasted by Poland and Russia LOL

Oops.......that was not very bright.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Bad news for Ukraine! Zelensky better watch it!

[xzins]

Obviously, the Centralized EU fudged grain import numbers, and Poland caught them at it. So the choice is to deny their own people or deny ukraine. Sounds like the profits were funding the war effort. Wonder whose hands they go through in corrupt ukraine???

[SisterK]

Poland comes to its senses
wish we would do the same

There is more, just search.

I love these "Who's the Fed" and "Who's the plant" threads.

If we wanted Russia defeated it would have been done in 2 weeks, perhaps 2 months tops. President Trump had them by the balls and we had peace. This is all intentional.

[Timber Rattler]

And here it comes. The discredited Dominio Theory. I haven't seen this nonsense since William Westmorland.

You're not paying attention, as usual.

Russian general says Ukraine just ‘stepping stone’ to invade Europe: ‘Won’t stop'

People who say “Pooty” are just coming out for Pride month…
