Poland to double troops number at border with Belarus, accuses it of organizing illegal migration
The Associated Press ^ | August 9, 2023 | Staff Report

The Polish government announced Wednesday that it is planning to deploy an additional 2,000 troops to its border with Belarus, twice the number the Border Guard agency had requested, as fears of illegal migration rise.

In an interview with state news agency PAP, a deputy interior minister, Maciej Wasik announced the decision and accused the Belarusian authorities of organizing illegal migration.

He said migration pressure on the Polish-Belarusian border area is growing, although it cannot compare to the situation two years ago.

At the time, large numbers of migrants from the Middle East and Africa arrived at the border, their travel there facilitated by flights and visas provided by the Minsk government — something Warsaw considered to be a form of “hybrid warfare.”

Poland significantly beefing up its border.

Beefing? More like hamburger sprinkled with Polish Kielbasa.

Please keep Cheering on Biden. There is more killing to be done.

Why are you more concerned about European borders than the US’ borders?

Poland is going to be punished by our Globalist Overlords for publicly admitting that the “migrants from the Middle East and Africa” are a component of hybrid warfare.

Poland is also rightly concerned about Russian forces hopping the border. Best to have armed soldiers on the border ready to kill the Russians if they try to play at being Little Green Men again.

--- "Poland to double troops number at border with Belarus, accuses it of organizing illegal migration"

And a variant ---

--- "Biden weakens border with Mexico, and NEVER accuses it of organizing illegal migration"

--- It is so interesting how the rules change in a "rules-based" order, and how illiberal Poland can be in a "liberal world order" proving thereby that there are no rules, only political interests which morph from place to place.

It comes down to "whose ox is getting gored."

Let's all cheer for those who gore the oxen. Unless we are the oxen....

Maybe if those migrants were white, they would be more welcome

There are likely to be both unwelcome migrants AND “little green men”. Generally not the same, unless the little green men sneak in as migrants.

Interesting question. If the people coming in from Mexico were white, would you be as unhappy about that?

Lol…migrant border incursions into Poland make me neither happy nor unhappy.
Just get the topic right to comment on this article.

We did see the warm welcome Poland gave the Africans trying to leave Ukraine!
Maybe they should speak to their NATO pal Erdogan about the middle east invasion

When logic fails, resort to insults.

Meanwhile, read the article. Poland is concerned about Belarus pushing 3d world migrants across the border

That is the recent Russian propaganda line.

Which they seem to have abandoned as Wagner is on its way out of Belarus.
