Poland allowed the CIA to set up torture camps on their soil.
They don’t give a shit about the supposed “abuses” of Russia.
Apparently they do.
Poland has never gotten over Russia crushing their empire multiple times over, as I already pointed out. They lost the old Lithuanian lands, then the Soviets humiliated and defeated Piludski to the point where any sort of independent Poland surviving at all was a “miracle”.
Commemorating it together isn't putting it in the rear view mirror.
If Putin intended to “rebuild the USSR” why hasn’t he annexed Belarus?A more immediate concern is probably Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a part of Putin's effort to rebuild the USSR.
After all, and more recently, after WWII, I believe the Soviet Union controlled Poland, violating their popular sovreignty.
You can’t “pay tribute to the victims” while honoring the people who carried out the atrocities as national heroes.
If Putin intended to “rebuild the USSR” why hasn’t he annexed Belarus?
Or Kazakhstan and the other Central Asian nations which clung to the Soviet Union long after it had crumbled elsewhere?
Or South Ossetia and Abkhazia?
If his intention was to “rebuild the USSR” he could have made major progress without a shot fired long ago.
Poland was at least as sovereign under the Warsaw Pact as any of the US’ allies were, as Guatemala, Chile and Iran show.
He wouldn’t have had to fire a shot to annex most of these other countries.....so why hasn’t he?It my understanding he didn't think Ukraine would slow him down so much.

If he “wants to rebuild the USSR” he should be actually doing so and building momentum to encourage other nations to join.Maybe that's why he hasnt bothered, yet.

He’s done no such thing, because he isn’t interested in recreating the USSR.
The Russians have already displayed exponentially more fortitude than the US, who, for example, were chased out of Somalia after losing like twenty KIA.You might contact him. He hasn't handled the Ukraine invasion particularly well.
He would if they ever did something he really didn’t like.If Putin intended to “rebuild the USSR” why hasn’t he annexed Belarus?
So he’s not “rebuilding the USSR”, then. If he was it wouldn’t matter one way or another.He would if they ever did something he really didn’t like.

Why would you need to when the country has a leader who is subservient to you.So he’s not “rebuilding the USSR”, then. If he was it wouldn’t matter one way or another.
Yes I am aware of thatBelarus has an autocratic ruler who is one of Putin's closest allies. So that's probably not happening.

And Ukraine is pissed!

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine considers the decision of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland to establish 11 July as a Day of Remembrance for the victims of the so-called 'genocide committed by the OUN and UPA in the eastern territories of the Second Polish Republic' to fly in the face of the spirit of good neighbourly relations between Ukraine and Poland," read the statement issued by the Ukrainian ministry on Thursday.

Poland is going off script. Messing up all the hard work that had gone into shaping the narrative of the new world order. In this new script pushed by Bruxelles there are only angels and demons, and Europe is a Garden. A Garden of Eden as conceptualized by the Catalan Josep Borrell Fontelles. Beyond Europe is a jungle. Inhabited by demons. All of them Russian.
In the European script Ukrainians are angels. Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky is nothing short of Michael the Archangel. Ukraine a pearl of great price. The soul of Europe. Which brings us to the problem posed by the Polish Accusation. It is a Remembrance but also an Accusation. How can Europe be a Garden of Eden if its heart, Ukraine, is guilty of genocide?
Black Sunday
This was July 11th 1943. On this day the massacre of Poles by Bandera mobs reached its peak
Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia
The massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia (Polish language: rzeź wołyńska , literally: Volhynian slaughter; Ukrainian: Волинська трагедія, Volyn tragedy) were part of an ethnic cleansing operation carried out in Nazi Germany-occupied Poland by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA)'s...military-history.fandom.com
For the freedom of the disaffected ethnic Russian minorities of Donbass and Crimea
Large chunks of Ukraine, for starters.And for what?
Because if you want to “rebuild the USSR” you would it’s member states brought into the country, not merely subservient.Why would you need to when the country has a leader who is subservient to you.
I never said that. Are you an American spending your time bolstering Russia?Because if you want to “rebuild the USSR” you would it’s member states brought into the country, not merely subservient.
