Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has told Volodymyr Zelensky never to “insult Poles again” after the Ukrainian president suggested his neighbor was putting on a show over their disputes on grain exports.

The Polish leader fired back at Zelensky after the Ukrainian leader offered a veiled criticism of Poland at the United Nations’ general assembly this week, saying the dispute was “political theater” and that “some of our friends in Europe” have “made a thriller from the grain.”

On Friday, at a rally in Swidnik, Poland, Morawiecki hit back.

“I want to tell President Zelensky never to insult Poles again, as he did recently during his speech at the UN,” he said.

“The Polish people will never allow this to happen, and defending the good name of Poland is not only my duty and honor, but also the most important task of the Polish government,” the Polish prime minister added.

“Stupid chit Zeepers still cling and worship his leadership along with Biden.”

************

Some even continue to support the policies of the guy who is selling off our STRATEGIC Petroleum Reserves, depleting our own stockpiles of weapons and munitions, and putting us on the edge of a direct conflict with Russia. He’s also the same guy who horribly botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan and did nothing as Chinese intel balloons flew across our country. How anyone can have any degree of confidence in Biden’s policies is mystifying.

Eastern Galicia and Volhynia were inhabited by Ukrainians, Poles, and Jews for centuries. Although Ukrainians made up the majority of the population in these two regions, they were less present in cities such as Lviv than in villages and small towns. Before the Second World War, Jews made up in both regions about 10 percent of all inhabitants, Poles about 25 percent in eastern Galicia and 15 percent in Volhynia, and Ukrainians 60 percent in eastern Galicia and 70 percent in Volhynia.2 As a result of the first and second partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1772 and 1793, eastern Galicia was incorporated into the Habsburg Empire and Volhynia into the Russian Empire, that also held the south, central, and eastern Ukrainian territories and regarded them as parts of Russia. This geopolitical order changed only after the First World War. In November 1917, Ukrainians proclaimed a state in Kiev and in November 1918 in Lviv, but they did not succeed in keeping either of them. In 1921, eastern Galicia and Volhynia were officially incorporated into the Second Polish Republic, and almost all other Ukrainian territories constituted the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.3

Did Zelenskyy call Polish PM Morawiecki an anti-ZZZemite?

Zelensky started out “too big for his Tutu” because Biden and the NATO poweratti told him they’d help, not because of altruistic motives, but out of power and greed and corruption IMO.

He’s worn out his welcome and unfortunately it is Ukraine that will suffer because of his arrogance and condemnation of other countries. If Ukraine wants to get worldwide support back then the best thing they can do is overthrow him.

I stopped having anything to do with Polish jokes way back when Lech Walesa came on the scene. An admirable country in my opinion.

Maybe the Mayor of Kyiv. He was a former boxer.

Poland is very conservative and welcomed Trump with open arms.

They have recently increased their standing military to 300K. Methinks they will just take their old terf back by themselves, after Russia has finished destroying the 3rd Ukrainian army.

Do you know why Poles got the reputation for being stupid?

After successfully defeating multiple armies over the centuries, Poland was eventually crushed when 3 different countries invaded at the same time, all angling to plunder her resources.

They stripped her bare and left her destitute. She would eventually rebuild.

When the Germans rolled in to Poland, everyone, including farmers, took up whatever weapons they had. They were mocked as stupid for charging at tanks with farm tools.

In fact, they were incredibly brave.

No. Poland recognizes that a key reason for her current era of strength and prosperity is being ethnically and culturally homogenous. A postwar slice of Ukraine would involve the unappealing prospect of ruling over millions of unhappy Ukrainians.

The Texans got beat at the Alamo for a very good reason. When those 5000 Mexicans showed up, the Texans thought they were there to pour concrete.

Times change. Poles are the most numerous nationality recognized in Israel as "Righteous Among the Nations" protecting Jews from the Nazis. A few years ago, a cousin of mine and her husband were visiting rural Poland for a couple of days. They happened to meet a small Israeli tour group also looking for traces of their ancestors.

Deep in the Polish countryside, the Israelis were astonished and gratified to find themselves well-received and that the local Jewish community killed by the Nazis was memorialized with an impressive stone monument. It was paid for and erected by local Poles and flowers were regularly placed there in recognition of Jewish holidays.
