Poland's conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party is ramping up Ukraine-skeptic rhetoric ahead of upcoming elections, in what analysts say is a bid to win back far-right voters after its 2023 defeat. After pushing conservative Karol Nawrocki into the presidential palace, PiS tapped ex-Education Minister Przemyslaw Czarnek — a controversial hardliner — as its candidate for prime minister in next year's election. Czarnek has a track record of criticizing the Ukrainian leadership over historical

    How anyone sees value in working with Russia is a mystery. Russia exists to poison the future of humanity.

      Especially for a Polish person. It is as if they are completely oblivious to literally any part of Polish history.

        Good luck trying to understand the Polish electorate. They are as bad as the US electorate.

    And these Polish patriots would rather have a border with Russia?

      Uh, they already do, with Kaliningrad. But yeah, it would increase the border they share with Russia by a LOT.

      This would make a strip of like 1/4 of their border hostile, because there’s already belarus, which is russias little bitch. Would be hard to defend.

    I would suggest that for russia gaining sympathy in Poland is existentially necessary to make serious inroads in building out russia’s power in the region.

    The reason? Poland has a fuckload of tanks, they have a signicant number of all of the best tanks and heavy armor in the world pretty much… and their army is well trained on them.

    Poland has also purchased almost 100 Apache helicopters which themselves could singlehandedly throw a MASSIVE wrench in any plans for future wars russia might have in the region if Poland isn’t sympathetic enough to maintain relative neutrality towards russia.

    In short, I am not surprised the far right in Poland flirts with russia, russia must be flirting hard with the far right in Poland, they have to, if Poland decides to decisively join an opposing side against them in war, russia is fucked.

    Why would anyone hate the Ukraineans? Going to Poland and seeing this fellow Slavic hate was insane. They’re hated cuz they’re drinking, fighting and using welfare?
