Hand: Poland and Russia – the inevitable escalation?

Paradoxically, it seems that both the 3rd Polish Republic and the Russian Federation may depend on the "Stalin gave – Putin can take" impression. On the 1 hand, this fits perfectly in Poland's dominant propaganda of the increasing Russian threat.

At the same time, Russian politicians respond in this way to the social anticipation of a stronger consequence to the enemy of Russia policy of Warsaw. Therefore, Poland and Russia are on a collision course and escalation can only proceed. For the time being, these are fortunate declarations, but the approach of Polish troops to the border with Belarus does not bode well, threatening a violent transition into a full-sized armed conflict.

Cover Volyn with Katyn

Raising historical issues is an component of building a justification for specified a clash, and at the same time an crucial component of the pro-Kijów strategy of Warsaw. Prior to the fresh celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the Volhyna Rzezi Volyńska spindoctors of the main parties clearly recommended to counter on social media any mention to the crimes of the bander with 1 grep: “And Katyn?!”, precisely soas if the Katyn case had not been clarified and closed in Polish-Russian relations and as if the border and national environments were not previously in the forpost besides accounting russian crimes. Of course, just as the Polish-Russian war would be a terrible misfortune, so calling it supposedly for historical reasons would add to this tragedy a surreal element. Unfortunately, this is inactive a real scenario.

Poland another victim

Three Polish divisions are relocated to the Polish-Belarusian border, and let us remember that they will be flanked by an expanding German contingent in Lithuania, Canada, Latvia, with the British in the Estonian retreat. In turn, terrorists are trained in Ukraine all the time, ready to be utilized to destabilise Belarus. specified a mass of troops rushing against the Armed Forces of Belarus and these vasners is simply asking for the first shot. Besides, the full provocation with "defence of the Polish border", building a wall, constantly epatating opinions in Poland with stories about alleged persecutions of the Polish number in Belarus – all preparations that cannot be ignored. erstwhile The notorious Ukrainian counter-offensive is dying, erstwhile Kiev no longer has any reserves to throw on the front – beginning the next front seems to be the only logical solution for those curious in extending the war of decision-making Western circles. Unfortunately, in this script Poland is the function of the next victims of Anglo-Saxon military provocations in Ukraine.

Virtual restoration and real costs

Of course, in the media of the 3rd Polish Republic there is inactive a triumphalist line "Boscho is!", which is peculiarly humorous expression of the visions of billions which we will make on our part in the reconstruction of Ukraine. First, of course, this means costs, due to the fact that it will be a bureaucratic cost to operate noisy offices ‘Rebuilding service of Ukraine’. Local government authorities in Lublin are equally noisyly preparing to invest in the partnership of Lugansk and are already conversing with its Ukrainian "powers", of course besides generously co-financing them, and after all, the biggest pro-Kyovian optimists should have abandoned the thought of gaining Donbas. No money is spent as easy as taxpayers' money, hence more offices, funds, foundations, etc. organized to spend as much resources and waste during the current war. Poland, on the another hand, will not profit from rebuilding what will stay of Ukraine, due to the fact that in these matters (as well as now) stronger players will decide. Furthermore, Poland does not have the economical capacity to carry out an operation on specified a scale, nor does it itself control its own economy adequate to get specified funds. We are the same colony of the West as Ukraine. We're not colonizing, we're all colonized.

Punishment and reparation, alternatively of false apologies

Besides, the 3rd Republic of Poland turns out to be subordinate not only to the West but besides to the Kiev regime. We may have felt this painfully during the fresh celebrations of Bloody Sunday. Let us besides not be deceived that something can change for the better. Squad VolodymiraZelensky, nor will any more of the same farming, condemn the Volynian Rzezi, call it by name genocide, will separate itself from the ideological burden of Ukrainian Nazism. The full political identity of the current Ukrainian statehood is built on the foundation of hatred and chauvinismso there can be no exceptions or derogations from this line. The representatives of the Kiev authorities do not yet tell Poles that they consider killing our countrymen during the Second War to be appropriate and justified, but that is precisely what Ukrainian children teach, preparing another generation for the terrible function of successors StiepanFlags and RomaSchuchewyks.

In this situation, the Polish side should not aim for false apologies or pseudo-reconciliation. Since there is no repentance in Kiev, no regret for sins, no strong determination to improve, there can be no sincere repentance, no Polish forgiveness. On the contrary, Poland should stand consistently on legal ground, demanding a firm prosecution of inactive surviving perpetrators of genocide, especially UPA bandits. Poland besides has grounds to request Ukraine to respect bilateral agreements and global conventions guaranteeing the construction and protection of memorial sites of combat and martyrdom, as well as restitution of assets expelled from the Borders of Poles. The opposition of Kiev should origin Warsaw to draw out diplomatic and economical consequences. Kiev is on boards, we can and should dictate to Zelenski the ultimatum. The fact that we do not do this shows precisely the independency of the authorities in Poland, which are acting openly to the detriment of the Polish state and Polish national interest.
