Poland Unwisely Escalates Ukraine War Toward WW3…But Why?

Can anyone at VT remember a time when the US moved into a country on a rescue mission, where it was deemed by American media as an ‘invasion’? I can’t, but I am getting old.

So what we are seeing here is exactly what the US Pentagon chief said was the goal, that the plan had been to bait Russia into eventually coming into the Donbass region to rescue the Russian people there, and then use the camel sticking its nose in his owner’s tent during the sandstorm until he took over the inside and threw the owner out.

Part two of this fiasco, leaving out the various possibilities that the disaster scenario could take, we can already see that the rest of the world is going to suffer a huge economic blow, and one that could continue for some years.

NATO is not the majority vote for the citizens of the world, yet it seems to have assumed that role to itself. Even the Baltic countries who could have sat it out have exposed themselves to going down the toilet after one NATO flush.

Some would view this as a rogue element doing this solely for its own benefit. I doubt we would find anything in the UN charter that would give such a grouping of countries the right to do this. So who is really the threat to us all here?

When all that is needed is for Ukraine to be a neutral country and all of this looming disaster would not be coming at us like a freight train with a stroked out engineer slumped over the controls.

For all of you out there in the public, if you just sit back watching all of this, and think it is not your problem, I can promise you that it is. Your butts are on the line, even if you can’t or don’t want to see it.

For those of us in the US, submersed in this tragi-comedy of stupidity and leadership failure, we will be enjoying our parallel political war meltdown at the same time. It looks to me like the perfect storm that some group organized so that when the smoke cleared, they would be running whatever was left of the situation, and a reduced world population.

Silly me, I view that as a really unnecessary and bad thing. America is morphing into something we might not recognize when this is over. We are already allied with the neo-Nazis in this, something that mass media pretends it does not see. For you younger people, you will be living with the fallout for a long time.

Let me know what you think in the comments. You might as well have some say in this while you still can… Jim W. Dean ]

President Andrzej Duda has announced the common future for Poland and Ukraine, calling it not an occupation, but “the erasure of borders.”

“There will be no more border between our countries — Poland and Ukraine. There will be no such border! So that we live together on this earth, building and rebuilding together our common happiness and common strength, which will allow us to repel any danger or any possible threat,” Duda said.

However, the Polish president did not explain what exactly is meant by the elimination of borders. Ukraine welcomed such claims of the Polish leader. In his turn, President Zelensky did not comment on the Polish plans.

Mr. Zelensky has previously expressed a similar idea, meaning the increased Polish military support to Ukraine.  As for Kiev, the elimination of borders between the two countries means the unlimited supplies of weapons and military equipment to the Ukrainian Army.

In fact, the political leadership of Poland is preparing the population for the introduction of troops into Ukraine and the upcoming war with the Russian Federation on the Ukrainian soil.

Duda’s claims are the public declaration of the de facto annexation by Poland of the territories of Western Ukraine under the quise of the military support against the Russian aggression. In this case, the Ukrainian statehood is doomed.

According to various estimations, NATO forces may be deployed in Ukraine as a “peacekeeping” contingent in the coming weeks. They will attempt to avoid the direct battles with Russian forces. At the same time, such a maneuver will allow the transfer of additional units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from western Ukraine to the eastern front lines, where the Ukrainian army is suffering heavy losses.

Duda’s claims were made amid the large scale military exercises near the Ukrainian border.

Defender Europe and Swift Response maneuvers were launched on the territory of Poland and eight other countries on May 1. They will last until May 26. 18 thousand servicemen from more than 20 states are take involved. Defender Europe exercises are held under the command of the 5th Corps of the US Army.

The Polish Defense Ministry announced “intensive movement of columns with equipment in the north and east of the country” from May 1 until the end of the month. Military exercises are indicated as the official reason.
