Poland has given Ukraine virtually all of its military equipment and is pausing giving away whatever scraps it has left, as it is now rebuilding its own military. They are not, in any way, abandoning or otherwise backing off on Ukraine. This spin is coming from the far right once more, trying to show "cracks in the alliance". Fuck CNN for promoting these ideas and creating that headline. It is not true.

They are dead wrong.

Poland is 10,000 percent behind ukraine in the war against russia.

The dispute is 100% over grain, and the spillover is performative only. Poland has an election coming up, and farmers are a huge voting block. It wouldn't surprise me if ukraine and poland were conspiring to make poland look tough on the grain embargo.

But they are not going to with hold arms from ukraine. Poland knows what a defeated ukraine would mean to their security. Ain't gonna happen. F' CNN if that's what they are reporting.

but something is fishy about the world thing. I tend to believe otherwise.

Poland is 100% with Ukraine, but alas we do have effed up corporate media.
