Why is it that poland always plays the victim card? Their weaponizing it in order to excert control.
It is one of the numerous attempts by the PiS president to stir up shit because his party no longer rules Poland.
Victim card pullers are inspired by Israël, who have pioneered weaponizing their cultural suffering into a throne of exceptionalism.
They’ve proven that no matter how stupendous the suffering, there is an amount of hypocrisy that will erode all the goodwill gained by it.
My brother in science, Poland is and long was the Christ of nations.
“In light of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s consent to name one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ‘Heroes of the UPA’… I have decided to revoke the Order of the White Eagle from the President of Ukraine,” Nawrocki said in a statement.
“At this point, I would like to emphasise: This decision is not directed against the Ukrainian people. It does not signify a change in the strategic direction of Polish security policy.”
Smart move by Nawrocki. I’m sure Zelensky is trying to keep a firm hold of power by gathering influence from different factions, but it’s foolish to think that should extend to the intolerant.
No its not.
The trick is, that the UPA genocides are ommitted in Ukrainian history lessons, same as Polish genocides against Ukrainians, Germans, annexation of Czechoslovakia and eastern slavery are in Polish history lessons. A lot of people really do not know, and so UPA are treated as some lovely independence fighters, which maybe some of them might have been, when not collaborating with the Nazis. OFC Zepensky should have known better, as should Nawrocki use this as leverage in whatever negotiations rather than a useless symbolic spat, which only Russian propaganda benefits from.
Nawrocki and the entire PiS are keen to side with Russia as is Targowica’s custom.
edit: typo
That’s fair, but I was referring more to Nawrocki’s statement that this does not and will not impact Polish support of Ukrainian defence and cooperation with NATO allies.
