I would say its the other way around. Polska is a long-term threat to Ukraine. The view that it is actually
their property is more widespread that most people would think.
Correct. Silesia used to be Polish land. It was taken from them during the Partition of Poland, given to Prussia, then taken by Russia. If it ever had the option to regain its historic lands it would. Same with Romania and the huge swaths of lands Hungary took from them.
The guy who fucked a Chinese spy has never recommended Chinks be mass deported or Syrian rapefugees for having pro ISIS/jihadist views. The Afghan 'refugees' were never deported despite their pro Taliban leanings.
Oh that's right. *They aren't white.*
It's not hard to guess. Putin's intention is to use scare tactics, hoping the opposition will surrender asap when they see the tanks, as it has always worked in his own country. He also believes that he has Nato tied up since they are on his gas. It's essentially the bullies "I'll beat you up if you tell your parents". Their logic is always driven by ego.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect an entire country to fight it out, which means it's not fast and easy. And he also didn't realize that globally, everyone hates that, and that Nato is willing to sanction almost everything else, including SWIFT(hopefully).
Then what do you expect him to do, retreat due to rising costs? Nah, ego, war must go on. Retreat and ask for all the sanctions to be reverted? Nah, ego, war must go on.
Now the best thing he can get is totally destroying Ukraine, and claim victory even at the cost of everything else. Anything short of that is a total humiliation for him.
Uh, they are. Germany is 50% or more reliant on Russian gas. Trump told them as much and they mocked him. If Europe was more energy independent these sanctions would have meaning. They don't as Russia has all the resource and energy power the EU needs. Once EU citizens, not Russians, begin paying more for gas, electricity, and everything as the cost of living goes up, their dominion is going to crack like an egg.
The SWIFT decision, again, means nothing. Russian oligarchs aren't even Russian; they are all Jewish. So they'll all be cozying up in Tel Aviv with their funds when things blow up or over. Russia has prepared for this and China has already indicated it is willing to work with them every step of the way.
NATO has been told for decades to leave Ukraine as a neutral state, but under US leadership it has kept encroaching closer and closer to drag Russia into a war. This is not me sucking Russia's cock, this is history and fact.
You can piss off of a Ukrainian.
And then he'll wail for you to give him his grain back. Wait until Russia (and China) yank the fertilizer exports.
Then you're back to 1930s Holodomor.
"NATO protect the sky" Yes all these Boomers wanting a No Fly Zone are really asking for a full scale war. They are just that fucking ignorant.
Supposedly the train station in Lvov, Ukraine

The trains are being packed so tight they have to leave their stuff behind.
Don't you love clogging up train tracks with your clothes?
