64% of #Polish people say #Germany should pay reparations for the damage it caused to #Poland during #WWII according to a new Social Changes opinion poll (source: @wPolityce_pl, Sept 4)
To put this into perspective, let's consider a family 2+2 with 1 living grandparent. In the case of ๐ต๐ฑ this means that by the end of #WWII ๐จ๐ง๐ family member would have been killed by either a ๐ฉ๐ช or a ๐ท๐บโผ๏ธ
A truly ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฒ and the next step to reaching ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐! ๐ต๐ฑ
During #WWII ๐ต๐ฑsuffered the greatest personal&material losses out of all ๐ช๐บ. >5mln ๐ต๐ฑ lost their lives. ๐ต๐ฑ lost huge opportunities for development. Experts est. losses at $1.3t. These losses have never been compensated
"๐ต๐ฑ's #WWII losses are estimated to be $1.5 mln (as of Dec 2021) and are subject to revaluation. It is thus in ๐ฉ๐ช's best interest to settle the this debt ASAP so to avoid paying interest & late fees"

We cannot allow Donald Tusk to fool ๐ช๐บ. Internet has no mercy, truth always comes out
After Crimea, instead of calling for sanctions Tusk preferred business as usual with Putin, see for yourself๐๐ป
๐จ๐ฆ medics are providing surgical care to war casualties from ๐บ๐ฆ at a hospital in the southern ๐ต๐ฑ city of Czeladลบ. The initiative is part of the ๐จ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฆ Surgical Aid Programme (CUSAP)
Based at the Czeladลบ hospital, 30 volunteer nurses, anesthesiologists & surgeon specialists from ๐จ๐ฆ are treating ๐บ๐ฆ soldiers as well as civilians who have become casualties of the war. The ๐จ๐ฆ team is supported by ๐ต๐ฑ& ๐จ๐ฆ medical professionals, including ๐บ๐ฆ doctors who speak ๐ต๐ฑ&๐ฌ๐ง
The Czeladลบ hospital currently houses the first group of 18 ๐บ๐ฆpatients.
Prof Antonyshyn from the @UofT, who leads the ๐จ๐ฆ medical team, told @PAP_eng that the patients had โhorrible injuriesโ from ๐ท๐บ gun fire or bomb explosions.
In June, ๐บ๐ฆ gov't signed a $65mln contract with ๐ต๐ฑ for 72 ๐ฆ Krab howitzers, of which the first 18 have been "donated" ๐. In August @CNN reported that the Polish Krabs play a significant role in ๐บ๐ฆ defense, showing ๐บ๐ฆ soldiers praising the accuracy & modernity of the ๐ฆs.
#Poland announced that it would like to purchase 96 AH-64E Apache helicopters from ๐บ๐ธ. The whopping, near-triple digit order would replace the countryโs fleet of Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunships and would also make ๐ต๐ฑ the largest #Apache operator besides the ๐บ๐ธ Army. #BeLikePoland
Aย statement from @BoeingDefense said that they were "honored the Government of ๐ต๐ฑ has selected the AH-64E Apache for the #Polish Armed Forcesโ new attack helicopter fleet."
It added that โan Apache selection strengthens ๐บ๐ธ๐ต๐ฑ military ties by enhancing interoperability and cooperation between ๐ต๐ฑ, ๐บ๐ธ Army & NATO nations. During the procurement process, Boeing established significant cooperative partnerships across ๐ต๐ฑ government & industry...
Jerzy Popieลuszko was born #OTD in 1947 to a farming family in Okopy, a village in eastern #Poland bordering modern-day #Ukraine. While #WWII had ended, the regime of the Communist Party had taken place of the ๐ฉ๐ช and ๐ท๐บ occupants and ruled ๐ต๐ฑ at the time.
As a young man, Popieลuszko served his required time in the army before completing seminary studies and becoming a priest for the Archdiocese of Warsaw. He was ordained on May 28, 1972 at the age of 24.
"We agreed with #Putin that @Gas in ๐ต๐ฑ-๐ท๐บ relations should be a well-understood common interest rather than a subject of politics."

*just to clarify:
this "magnanimous consensus" took place "soon after ๐ท๐บ invaded #Georgia and the construction ๐ฉ๐ช๐ท๐บ #NordStream pipeline began" and not the other way around โผ๏ธ
