  • Probably just that. Poland also did this during Trump first term, they organised very hostile conference about Iran which had basically zero points or actions beside US vassals loudly proclaiming their allegiance. Iran treated it seriously though and it basically completely ruined Polish-Iranian trade deals (which were not very significant but they did existed) and relation (which were traditionally good).

    Bonus points for first-class comedy though when the bumbling fool Pompeo gathered entire room of Polish PiS officials (usually antisemites) and illegally demanded Poland pays reparations for WW2 to some Jews in USA, which make them both enraged and realised they can’t do shit since they just at the same day loudly proclaimed their allegiance to USA (nothing real came out from this too).


  • I don’t think scantions work.

    They certainly never achieve the intended objective, that is, change the system and government to US compradors, but they do work greatly in causing horrible humanitary effects. That’s about US sanctions, who up till recently basically controlled global financial system, and also like to bomb, invade, sabotage and incite riots in sanctioned countries to make things worse. For sanctions like Canadian, they aren’t very impactful, more of a political statement.

    You immediately throw yourself to add the vErY iMpOrTaNt cOnTexT that the countries voting against combating the glorification of nazism voted as such not only because they happen to currently support country where glorification of nazism is officially supported, but they also did it because they are being so petty to vote just because they oppose the country presenting the resolution.

    Especially completely shameful for country like Poland which lost 6 million people to nazi murderers.





  • They are all like “socialist economy was so backwards we just had to destroy it” then ignore that Poland was at some point 10th economy in the world and probably higher since it was real economy and not financial tricks, and that selling and pillaging that “backwards” economy (for pennies on pound) kept Poland afloat for 15 years until EU started pumping money into the country.
