dostał baty, ale teraz czuje, jakby miał upper hand w tym starciu w postaci Ormuz. podtrzymuje uparcie, że żeby rozmawiać o pokoju, US muszą poluzować sankcje, odblokować zamrożone aktywa, uspokoić Izrael w Libanie, a Ormuz i tak pozostanie pod nadzorem irańskim i będzie płatny... ile jeszcze wytrzyma Trump z blokadą i czy przyniesie efekty?

Volhynia was polish from 1385... Lviv the same. after the partitions Poland got these lands back n it was either us or the Russians who wanted to make u Russians n thwart any signs of ukrainian identity... ethnic cleansing is not fighting against colonization - it's etchnic cleansing done in a nazi way... slaughtering Poles this beastly way? read a piece abt the situation back then after 1918 written by one of our professors 👇

Józef Piłsudski - whom some Ukrainian commentators now blame for the failure of Ukrainian independence a century ago - believed in an independent Ukraine more than many Ukrainians did at the time. That conviction led him to support Symon Petliura and launch the 1920 campaign toward Kyiv despite immense political and military risks for Poland.

What is often overlooked is that in 1919 Piłsudski rejected General Denikin’s proposal for an alliance against the Bolsheviks because Denikin demanded that Poland abandon support for an independent Ukraine separate from Russia. Piłsudski refused. Poland relinquished that position only later, in the Treaty of Riga in 1921, when the Bolsheviks made renunciation of Ukrainian independence a condition for ending the war.

By then Poland was nearly exhausted by fighting over Ukraine. It lacked both the military capacity and political leverage to continue. Nor was there sufficient support among Ukrainians themselves for a state independent from Russia.

The uncomfortable truth is that one hundred years ago too few Ukrainians were willing to fight and die for a Ukrainian Kyiv. For many, it made little difference who ruled it.

narcyzm i megalomania to nie choroby, a zaburzenia osobowości. takie Trump ponad wszelką wątpliwość ma - nie ma co ukrywać. zobaczymy, co z programem proliferacji, ale uderzenie na Iran to strategiczny fuckup, z którego nie może teraz wybrnąć. tam zabrakło chłodnej oceny potencjalnego rozwoju w dłuższej perspektywie

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

the notion i get is that u despise us... the more i talk to Ukrainians the more that i see that... the conclusion is we r just unfriendly nations n as i had been a staunch Ukraine supporter we need to switch our politics paradigm towards Ukraine to realpolitik what means a pure transactional one... no point in using our railway n airports to be a main logistics chain for the weaponry deliveries

by the way - tell me abt those earlier ethnic-based killings between our nations abt the scale of it - i will check it out very eagerly n try to read abt them to broaden my knowdledge

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

how i could be lying whereas several members of my family were killed by UPA? part of my grandpa's family escaped Pidkamin (they were affraid they would be killed anyway) but several of them chose to stay n took shelter in the Monastery but they didn't make it anyway. after all of that madness the ppl in Podkamin were speaking about several hundreds killed in the Monastery n this matches the findings of our historians (400-600) so how can i be lying? i heard that from my father n my father from the grandpa n other older members of the family who settled in Western Poland... we were a really large family back then. there is no need to whitewash history. we were no angels as well (operation Vistula after WWII) but nobody whitewashes this...

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

n several members of my family killed by UPA as well r on this list (it is more than 5 names on this list killed by UPA)... i was innacurate writing too fast - i meant my father's father younger sister (my grandpa's Mieczyslaw sister) of course... by the way we have in Wroclaw the famous painting of the Virgin Lady from Podkamien which was taken with the displaced Poles to Western Poland... as my father would always telling me (he was a super religious person) this painting was extremely famous in the region n ppl from all over Pidkamin n Podole were visiting the Monastery to pray to the Virgin Lady from Podkamien from the late 1600s...

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

Pidkamin was a tiny city from what i've been told... n everyone knows what had happened out there. part of my family went back there after the massacres got USSR passports then ukrainian n lived there until the end of their days... my father was visiting Pidkamin many times from 2000 as there was his auntie living (one my father's sisters) living until she died so u can call me whatever u want pal... on this list u had several of my family members https://t.co/z4elfiWjfN

it were polish lands back then so i wasn't colonization as there there was simply not enough will amongst the Ukrainians themselves (1920s) to fight for the ukrainian Kiev (cuz Russia was fighting for these lands with Poles) n repeating abt polish imperial ambitions - a medium-size european country, a poor one. what imperial ambitions that country could have had? Poles were fighting for these lands to not fall under russian rule. Read one of our proukrainian historian:

"Józef Piłsudski - whom some Ukrainian commentators now blame for the failure of Ukrainian independence a century ago - believed in an independent Ukraine more than many Ukrainians did at the time. That conviction led him to support Symon Petliura and launch the 1920 campaign toward Kyiv despite immense political and military risks for Poland.

The uncomfortable truth is that one hundred years ago too few Ukrainians were willing to fight and die for a Ukrainian Kyiv. For many, it made little difference who ruled it."

u need to learn when AK started those retaliatory actions... after the Volhynia slaughter had started. there was no particular order - it was just a rage-driven decision sadly after UPA had slaughtered many Poles. in my grandpa's village it was 500 ppl (Pidkamin). the ppl took shelter in the monastery but UPA entered n start killing. that is what i know the term Rizun from...

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

multiethnic ofc... Ukrainians n Poles na Jews were living mostly in harmony before WW2 in 1939... there were no scuffles etc. they would marry each other etc before the UPA pll started agitating that to establish an independent Ukraine Poles must be cleansed to spook other Poles n make them flee "n settle on the other side of Vistula river". that was the upa's selling slogan...

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

nobody is blackmailing u. the antiukrainian moods r rising cuz ppl like u offending Poles n this is gonna end up with changing the polish politics paradigm towards Ukraine for so called realpolitik n realpolitik is simply transactional by nature - u want smth from us u need to deliver smth on your end of the bargain. the reality is there was just Poland back then (as there was no big enough mobilization n will to form an ukrainian state - read the tweet i attached below) over there n as to the fact that AK was murdering the Ukrainians - it's true but after the Volhynia slaughter (my family is from Pidkamin - 500 ppl was murdered there at the hand of UPA n one unit of SS when they took shelter in the old monastery) started as a retaliatory act. yes it still shouldn't have happened as a bloody revenge is not the proper reaction but this is the chronology. u should read a good piece from our proukrainian professor - https://t.co/ubUfNCPqHf

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

we did nth Volhynia. our ppl were living with the Ukrainians in harmony. u don't even know basic history as the choice was simple back in the day - either Poland or Russia which was wanting to conquer these lands... this is why we went go war with the Bolsheviks cuz they claimed u were ethnically Russians

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

there was no occupied territories back then - there was Poland. if not Poland - Russia wanted to conquer these lands n that's why there was a polish war with the bolsheviks... n the Bolsheviks were forcing Pilsudzki to promise that there will be no independent Ukraine (they thought this is Russia n they would sometime in the future conquer these lands eventually) in the treaty of Riga (the settlement of the war). u still r equating Poles to Russians... keep on doing this n the weaponry deliveries will be going with slovakian r hungarian railway not polish n the airport in Bratyslava or Budapest as ppl down here in Poland r growing really infuriated with u constantly offending us 🤷

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

n she's mostly right cuz Yanukovych killed the UE accession talks at Putin's behest (he wanted the country to remain in Russia's sphere of influence)... that's why they named it Euromaidan cuz they got pissed off as they had seen the EU as a way to a better living...

as to Crimea - wasn't it annexed with the so called little green man (russian soldiers without distinctions) being in fact russian soldiers? that's a fact which u cannot rebuke (everyone saw that) n the referendum was conducted after the military seizure of the peninsula so how could it be considered anyhow legitimate? we all know Putin's modus operandi 🤷

u call her "cunt" but remember that we don't give a single fuck how the Russians call anyone of us as we see u as humans of 2nd category...🤷 this is what it means to be a citizen of a pariah state pal. deal with it

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

u don't believe in harmony in those villiges yet our grandpas were telling us there was harmony... why it wouldn't have been? why actually don't u believe it? on what grounds? cuz it would have reflected poorly on UPA, right?

these ppl lived next to each other n they were getting married very often. ridiculous? the people of UPA were going from a village to a village n agitating... the narrative was - to eastablish an independent Ukraine we need to cleanse those villiages to spook the Poles so they won't ever come back here n "settle on the other side of the Vistula river"... n in fact they generally succeeded yet for instance part of my family after taking shelter in Lviv came back to Pidkamin r lived there to the end of their days 🤷

[Rafo 🇹🇼 @rafwroc]

@johnnyjmils the Russians have to turn to their leader who dragged their country into this mess at his own whim n make it literally a pariah state. he wanted to make Ukraine a buffer zone before the eastern NATO border in the old barbaric soviet style so there is no point in whining now 🤷
