MAJOR ESCALATION Russia threatens Poland after ‘killing 80 foreign fighters’ amid calls for NATO reinforcements to halt Vlad’s troops-(Souvlaki Gap)

The warning comes amid soaring tensions with the Nato-member country after Moscow claimed it has removed a Polish flag from a memorial site commemorating the killing of thousands of Poles in the Soviet Union.

Russia's defence ministry says its troops have killed "up to 80" Polish fighters in "precision strikes" in the eastern Donetsk region.

It said in a statement: "Up to 80 Polish mercenaries, 20 armoured combat vehicles and eight Grad multiple rocket launchers were destroyed in precision strikes on the Megatex zinc factory in Konstantinovka".

And the mayor of Smolensk, where the Polish flag was removed Andrei Borisov, confirmed the saying: "There cannot be Polish flags on Russian monuments.

"Even less so after the frankly anti-Russian comments by Polish political leaders.

"The culture ministry of the Russian Federation made the right decision by removing the Polish flag. Katyn is a Russian memorial."

Meanwhile, tensions between Russia and the West have reached a boiling state after Lithuania's announcement to ban sanctioned goods crossing from the Russian mainland via its territory to Kaliningrad.

As a result, Poland has called on Nato backup in the Suwalki Gap the stretch of land that separates the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad from Belarus.

Speaking at a news conference in Brussels, the country's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said: "We are going to seek the reinforcement of this corridor... in our talks with our partners from NATO.".

Feel free to find me any Fake News on RT. I’ve challenged others, and all they could say was Russian!, Russian!, Russian!, Russian!, Russian!.

...but not a SINGLE article of Fake News.

By the way, did the Ghost of Kiev help with the Mariupol ‘evacuation’? CNN never said either way.

Feel free to point out to us any Fake News on RT.Com.

By the way, how’s the Ghost of Kiev doing these days?

“Communists love using the term neocon on everyone who opposes Russian imperialism.”

Check your history: Russia didn’t bomb Serbia, start the Syrian War, start the Libya War, start the Gulf War, and didn’t start the Ukraine War.

So, try again!

Ukraine did not invite them in.

No, Ukraine dared them to come in. They kept pushing harder and harder, as Russia was saying that's a red line for them. Sometimes people mean exactly what they are saying. Of course here in America, that's an outdated practice. Russia don't play that shit.

Yep. They want to pretend that the Soviet NKVD, at Stalin’s direction, did not murder all those Polish officers.

Calling it a Russian memorial just because it is in Russia is like calling Auschwitz a Polish memorial because it is in Poland.

I don’t know why people keep misrepresenting how this military conflict started. Yes, Russia was “invited in.” The two separatists republics had begged Russia for help for 7 years and after Russia recognized the two groups in early 2022 they formally asked Russia to intervene.

KYIV/DONETSK, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Separatists in Ukraine asked Moscow to help repel “aggression” on Wednesday and explosions rocked the breakaway eastern city of Donetsk as the United States warned everything is in place for a major attack by Russia on its neighbor.

Hours after the breakaway regions issued their plea, at least five explosions were heard in the separatist-held eastern Ukraine city of Donetsk on Thursday morning, a Reuters witness said. Four military trucks were seen heading to the scene.

George Washington and the Barbary Coast Pirates
Before 1785 the United States under the Articles of Confederation had few concerns about attacks from the Barbary Coast pirates. In that year, Spain and Algiers signed a truce, which meant that Spanish ships would no longer patrol the Strait of Gibraltar to keep the Barbary corsairs trapped in the Mediterranean Sea. One consequence of this was an increase in piracy in the Atlantic Ocean, and on 25 July 1785 Algerian pirates captured the Maria off the coast of Portugal, taking its crew as hostages. On 30 July in nearby waters other pirates overtook the Dauphin, captained by Richard O’Bryen. Each American ship had a crew of twenty-one. ...
As the United States changed its form of government and George Washington’s first administration began, O’Bryen and his comrades got lost in the shuffle. Many died in a plague that swept through Algiers in 1787-1788, and some died of other diseases soon thereafter. By 1792 only ten of O’Bryen’s crew were left alive.

The piracy/ slavery problem was only resolved later, after Washington left office, and then by using military force, too late for the American sailors.

Biden's goons were IN UKRAINE with reporters telling the Ukrainian people War was starting soon...and we laughed at them for not believing them.

Why the hell weren't we working out a peace plan with Russia at that point? Putin didn't want NATO at his door. OK, we could deal with that...what were the other problems?

Instead Joe - our corrupt President and his whore monger drug addicted son wanted to 'help' one of the top money laundering countries of the world. Why was that important? Why was it more important that seeing if a deal could be made for peace?

Something is rotten in Denmark.

Every day it just gets better and better under the Biden occupation. And just think: He’s not even halfway through his first term. That’s still a loooooong 7 months away and then we start again with another 2 years which I shudder to think what will be going on by then. And this SCOTUS releasing all these decisions now. Good going morons, you couldn’t wait till after the midterms, right? You just gave democrats endless ammunition for the next 4 to 5 months which they and their Marxist propaganda media will twist into a pretzel until they have Republicans polling 50 points behind. But hey, it’s only at the cost of this countries future right? An economic depression, a continued foreign invasion and nuclear war with China and Russia is a small price to pay for releasing those decisions now.

How about that ole Biden and his fourth maybe fifth aneurysm, since the DemonRats stole the election of 2020 presidential election. They just love to tell lies and campaign accordingly.

It is correct that the Media is 100% for the DemonRat party.

If this mid term election is not overly red then I suspect DemonRat cheats/frauds on those election returns.

I think I’ve seen references to “Auschwitz, a Polish concentration camp”.
