Ukraine Again Falling Out With Allies Over Perceived Lack of Gratitude For Support
Breitbart ^ | 08/02/2023 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 08/02/2023 4:52:54 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Ukraine has summoned the Polish ambassador over “unacceptable” comments made about Kyiv’s gratitude — or rather, a perceived lack thereof — for the considerable military and fiscal support given to the nation to help it fight Russia.

The Polish President’s international policy chief Marcin Przydacz said Monday that: “Ukraine has really received a lot of support from Poland. I think it would be worth them starting to appreciate the role that Poland has played for Ukraine in recent months and years.” According to a report in Wprost magazine, when pressed he doubled down on the point, saying in Warsaw: “…we must stand firmly in the interest of the Polish state here, and Ukraine should start appreciating what Poland does for it.”

I’m against this war and have been from the beginning and hope it gets settled soon and stops the needless killing.

However, there is a line from the movie Animal House that goes like this, “You F’d Up, you trusted us”...

I think Ukraine has realized that the USA and the West are using them for bigger goals, and they don’t care about how many Ukrainians have to die in the process, while also accepting millions in bribes and lining up companies like Black Rock to sweep in and make billions rebuilding the country.

The west keeps telling Ukraine, attack, attack, attack in this offensive and the results so far have been the same, Ukraine shows little to no progress and a bunch of their soldiers get killed.
,
Meanwhile the west, says yes we will give you F-16s which has not happened, we will give you M1 Abrams tanks which hasn’t happened, throughout this entire war whatever Ukraine has ask for the initial reaction is NO, then later YES and ultimately, they get what they asked for only way to late to make any real difference.

There are several things at play here. Drowning people are not as polite as people who are not drowning. “Hey, I threw you a rope and you’re angry it took so long to do it.” That’s because his kid died while he floundered waiting for the rope. There’s no getting away from the overload of emotion on the one side and the complete lack of urgency on the other.

Another aspect may be cultural. I worked at an Israeli company with Israelis born in Israel and Israelis who were also citizens of the US and born here. Both cultures seemed angry and did a lot of in-your-face, raised voice discussion. It seemed super angry to Americans. Except the American/Israelis could turn it off and the Israeli born employees could not. But the moment the argument/discussion was over their personality transformed into whatever was next...like getting on with the job. They weren’t really angry. As the president said, “If you aren’t passionate about what you say, nobody will listen.”

That was after the president had wasted half a million dollars based on an Israeli yelling louder than me. I told him, “I gave you the actual data. You chose to go with the slap-shot from the hip answer because he yelled it. I’m not going to bust an artery when the actual data says I’m right. “ He said, “You should have argued with me.” I said, “You run the company. It’s your money. If you decide to piss it away, who am I to say no?”

What I’m telling you is, different cultures have different expectations and actions meant to be the same seem the opposite. Oh, and they’re dying. We aren’t.

Ukraine bought Hunter and the 'big buy'... and Poland didn't...

Tough luck Poland.

The US is a corrupt banana republic under a the power of a thug and if you want support you gotta pay the boss man's drug addicted whore-monger son.

“Perceived” lack of gratitude

What kind of talk is this, Breitbart?

And how much of the billions of dollars sent to Ukraine have ended up in secret bank accounts in Switzerland and the Cayman’s. Zelensky and his buddies don’t want this war to ever end. They don’t care how many peasants die as long as their bank accounts keep growing.

Certainly, Zelensky is on the deal, I wonder when this things wraps up, will Zelensky die a glorious death, fighting until the end or will millions in the bank getting out of town just before the end.

The Western powers can’t allow Zelensky just to walk away with millions and live the rest of his life, in a Caribbean Resort.

No, but he'll spend a lot of time recuperating there, between his many trips to various capitols and The Hague where he will shed crocodile tears and constantly beat the drum for Ukrainian 'freedom'. He can join the old talk circuit built by all those African despots some years ago.

I sure hope Taiwan is paying close attention to this Ukraine fiasco. They may learn something.

There really is something badly wrong there. I’ve said this before. Ukraine has vast agricultural and mineral wealth, a large industrial base, a population larger than Canada. They should be in the G7, yet they are the poorest country in Europe.
