Maybe it’s the Ukrainians making promises they fail to keep and then blaming the West, NATO, and the EU for their failures. They scream for the ball and then when it’s passed, don’t make a break for the hoop. At some point they are going to have to at least try. We were bombarded with reports that a counteroffensive is just weeks away. When that failed they blame Europe and America. People get tired of it. |
Yeah, this worries me. Slovakis is another one that might be turning. I can't believe Ukraine pissed off Poland over grain. They should've found a way to work this behind door, not get into a pissing match in public. Tide is turning for Ukraine which was Putin's plan from the beginning - playing the long game. |
Russian artillery completely leveled entire cities, like Aleppo. Anything but ludicrous Russian "surgical strike" claims, as if that were even a possibility given the antiquated blunt-force technology used by Russia. Infrastructure, residential areas targeted wholescale with complete reckless abandon, zero attempt to spare anyone. Zero discrimination or care as to whether there were civilians present |
Should this be handled behind closed doors? Absolutely. But, let's face it: Poland is completely out of line and is being utterly ridiculous. It's simply not credible on any level whatsoever for Poland to try and claim their grain farmers are somehow disadvantaged by Ukrainian grain. Try a reality check: Are Polish farmers being shot and bombed? Are their fields being set on fire by invaders? Are their fields being strewn indiscriminately with mines? Are their silos being deliberately targeted and bombed? Are their shipments being stolen? Are the railyards they use for shipping being bombed? Are the seaports they use being bombed? Are their seaports being blockaded, civilian cargo ships being threatened? No to all of these for Poland, but YES to all of these for Ukraine. |
Yep. See the comments for Germany. |
| Is it just me, or are others noticing that many of the Ukrainian flags are quietly coming down all around the DC Metro area? |
Its a lot of drama for grain that was supposedly going to Africa. I guess, like most things out of Ukraine, that was just a ruse? |
It's just you. |
The Polish are not out of line. They’ve contributed more than their fair share to Ukraine’s defense and Ukraine wants them to sacrifice more? No. Ukraine needs to put-up or shut-up. Poland is not at war. NATO is not at war. The EU is not at war. Ukraine is. |
Fly ‘em with Pride I say. I was just curious if I was being overly sensitive to noticing this. |
How can Poland make such a big deal out of money-grubbing grain deals during a time of crisis and war when they should be standing shoulder to shoulder with NATO against Putin’s tyranny?? |
Same. |
NATO is not standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. NATO is not at war. |
Yes all the republicans have now abandoned Ukraine. I have seen a lot more Russians flags with confederate flags. My MAGA neighbor made the change about a month ago. It’s really weird. I think it is some kind of right wing/conservative thing being pushed on the web. I have also seen the Russian flag with a black US flag. Maybe the pro Russian folks can chime in? |
What??? Please tell me you are joking. I did not see any of that around Washington or suburbs. What is the black USA flag?? |
