I have a pretty close Polish friend, and honestly most of waht I hear implies that Poland never was anything close to “based”. Their government is on a whole new level of stupidity and cringe that other countries can only dream of. Always expect them to do the opposite of what is reasonable.
Our president already proved that he has ability to make someone curl their fingers out of cringe.
Just piss party things
Poland’s politics are both fascinating and horrifying to watch.
It’s kinda obviously the PIS party just being fucking stupid
“Intends to focus on its own defense”
Defense from what?! The fuck they think ukraine was doing all this time?
It’s elections next week. As soon as those are over they’ll be based af again
it’s the (cash-for-)visa
incidentscandal isn’t itWhat happened?
The thing I mentioned was about Cash-for-visa scandal
Poland banned imports of Ukrainian grain and does not intend to deliver more weapons to Ukraine.
Kompromat…
Get ready for the Polish government to become buddies with Russia.
No Kompromat needed, just PiS doing PiS things. Poland banned imports of Ukrainian grain (because PiS has a largely rural support base and the farmers don’t appreciate the competition), Ukraine filed a complaint with the World Trade Organisation, so now the Polish government is throwing what in political science is called a tamper tantrum.
Poland will have to pantomime anti-Russian rhetoric for domestic consumption, even if it aligns 100% with the Putinists. They can ramp up anti-German rhetoric (reopening the war reparations issue, making noises about “gender ideology” and “cultural Marxism” coming from across the border) and make the woke godless Germans the primary enemy of Holy Poland, though they still have to pretend to maintain defensive hostilities against the great bear to the east, even as they adopt the same policies and attitudes.
Don’t forget the always popular narrative of the EU being just Germany’s 4th Reich trying to destroy Poland as the only hurdle in their way to share control over Europe between them and their Russian buddies…
(Yes, I’m not exaggerating. That’s all from actual quotes in the last 12 or so months…)
Among the neighbours of Germany, Poland is just the most annoying (remember, Fr🤮nce is also a neighbour).
If they weren’t enemies they’d already be best buddies. They share the same ideological hatred.
Poland has never been based on anything, it’s a country
based on soil; based on europe; based on earth
