The Poles were first to appease Hitler, not the Russians.

In 1934, Nazi Germany and Poland signed the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact in the First European deal with Hitlers Germany.

On January 26, 1934, the Polish Ambassador Józef Lipski and German Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurath signed the "Declaration on the Non-Use of Force Between Germany and Poland" in Berlin. It had a 10 year term. Both sides commited to resolve all disputes peacefully and "renounce aggression against each other"

Again, This is the first non aggression pact any European state signs with Nazi Germany, exactly one year after Hitler became Chancellor, and literally years before the Soviets signed a similar deal.Image Poland, led by Marshal Józef Piłsudski, sought to selfishly secure its western border while remaining hostile to the Soviet Union. The pact was to neutralise Germany as an immediate threat but it allows Hitler to focus on rearmament without any worry on his eastern flank.
Whays less know is that a flourishing Trade agreement follows quickly.

Also an inconvienitn reminder, Hitler sends "personal condolences" and a wreath to Piłsudski’s funeral in May 1935, its a rare public gesture of affection from the Nazi Dictator. He also This was the only time that Fuhrer attended a mass in Berlin dedicated to Pudsulski, one of the only times as a leader of the Third Reich and probably one of the last times when he was in a church.Image

What do you really know about 17th century Europe? Well, I'm reading about the "30 years War" and what strikes me is the massive often forgotten levels of destruction and human suffering it left in its wake. So, here's a (simplified) explainer. Image The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) killed 8 million people, including 20–50% of Germany’s population. It Began as a Protestant-Catholic dispute in Bohemia and ended reshaping Europe forever.

A Warning from History.

A year after WW1 ended, A French Pilot, Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, flew an Airship from the Belgian coast to the devastated battlefields of France where millions died.

Lost for decades this is part of what he saw remastered in color and HD. So why an airship and not a plane?
well in 1919 aircraft couldn’t loiter for 2 hours, Airships could.
They became the first strategic reconnaissance drones, silent, terrifying, untouchable. The irony? Germany built them to bomb London.
France used them to survey the destruction.

The private polling company, "Kiev institute of sociology" which Western media quotes as source of Zelenskys "57%" popularity, is owned and operated by a Zelensky ally and State employee (at the National Univeristy of Kiev) Volodymyr Paniotto

It's also indirectly funded by USAID, NED and Soros foundationImage
Image
"The Kiev institute" counts German State media, @dwnews, Radio Free Europe, the OSCE and other EU and US Ngo funded media as "Clients"

The actual question asked of 2,000 Ukrainians living in a police state, bereft of elections, with citizens being g dragged off the streets by Zelenskys governemnt was

"Do you support President Zelensky"

The respondents were called personally on their mobile phones by the "institute"Image

In Bryansk, Russia

Russian special forces tracked ambushed and wiped out a team of western saboteurs working under the Ukrainian flag who infiltrated the Border.

They are US and Canadian. Tattos clearly show they are current or ex US special forces, exceptionally well equipped. More daylight footage clearly shows US military insignia tattoos.

A demonstration of how Irish and Western Media lies to you about Russian Strikes in Ukraine.

The headline on Irelands State media website is clear "Russian strikes kill 6 in Kharkov" The truth is quite different and purposefully misrepresented by @rte and here's the irrefutable evidence.

In the video you can see the Russian Iskander missile striking a Czech made Vampire MLRS rocket launcher used to strike civilian targets in Belgorod. The strike is precise and destroys the launcher and it's crew.

In the Second video filmed by Ukrainian recovery teams, the hulk of the targeted and destroyed MLRS launcher is patently clear, however, RTE chose to insure the destroyed military vehicles are kept out of shot. (They would be just to the left in the RTE photo)

This is blatant dishonesty and disinformation, peddled by the pro Ukrainian media across the west.

The evidence attached is undeniable.

They are lying to you, they have been lying and they will continue to lie.

Beware.Image Here is the full Ukrainian video clearly showing the destroyed Rocket launcher destroyed by the Russian Strike.

A thread. What did the U.S. State department think of #Ukraine 2 years ago? A bastion of freedom and democracy? Let’s explore what they said in their report in 2021 just prior to the escalation of the conflict, it’s a long one so stick with it. You maybe be surprised “Significant”human rights issues included credible reports of: unlawful or arbitrary killings, including extrajudicial killings by the government or its agents; torture and cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment of detainees by law enforcement personnel

Between January and November 2022 the #Irish State issued 286,168 PPS (Tax Numbers)

Only 64,721 of these were issued to Irish People with #Ukrainians making up the largest group receiving 65,380 granting access the full gambit of welfare , healthcare and housing supports. As the Irish healthcare system falls apart, the Housing and rental sector collapses, our streets become less and less safe for our young and old people, how can any elected politician seriously suggest that this State can receive and care for any more Refugees at this time?
