Poland said on Tuesday it was rushing troops to its eastern border after accusing Belarus, Russia's closest ally, of violating its airspace with military helicopters.
The Belarusian military denied any such violation and accused NATO member Poland, one of Ukraine's most fervent backers in its conflict with Russia, of making up the accusation to justify a buildup of its troops.
Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko had earlier taunted Poland over the presence of Russian Wagner mercenaries near their joint border.
Poland's Defence Ministry said it was sending "additional forces and resources, including combat helicopters". It said it had informed NATO of the border violation and Belarus' charge d'affaires had been summoned to provide an explanation.

Poland wants Lvov back and is maneuvering to carve its chunk out of Ukraine. Sure Poland wants to bring its troops to Western Ukraine to “help” the Ukes. Smart, very smart by the Poles unless they get nuked like the rest of us.

You have a real hard on for WW3. You are probably above draft age.

There you go threatening with mods like a lefty screaming from a college safe space. Disgusting behavior.

Either you have no idea what war propaganda looks like, or you are spouting it because you are an agent.

Seems to be the case, no? It is important to be able to recognize agents provocateur.

There you go threatening with mods like a lefty screaming from a college safe space. Disgusting behavior. You anti-Ukraine posters were the ones who demanded that the site owner crack down on the insults, trolling, taunting, and name calling.
Remember?
Is it so hard to follow those rules?

If you know a bit about the sarcasm and use in replies then you would know that I have never threatened anyone with a suspension or brought the mods into a conversation. Unlike most leftist posters I am a grown man with thick skin and do not need a safe space.

They might have to ask Ukraine for some of their ammunition back. I think Putin is holding so many troops in reserve because he is expecting a false flag attack from Poland and Nato. That's their standard operating procedure. Ukraine must be close to collapsing if they are trying this right now.

Ukraine now has some unfinished business with Belarus. Poland should get in on it.

hardspunned - you have been told over and over again that you are lying through your teeth when you write about “Poland wants Lvov back and is maneuvering to carve its chunk out of Ukraine”
Neither the Polish people nor the Polish government want to “carve out a chunk of Ukraine” - we don’t want a hostile population.
Yet you, hardspunned, keep repeating the lie.
Why are you, hardspunned, keeping on repeating lies?
