Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has urged the EU to reinforce its military presence on the country’s borders with Russia and Belarus amid ongoing Ukraine ceasefire negotiations.
Tusk made the statement on Thursday after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, urging him to play a key role in any potential peace process.
According to the Polish prime minister, the two discussed reinforcing the military capabilities on Poland’s border with Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave and Belarus, which is “also the border of NATO and the EU.”
“I have obtained full understanding from our Turkish partner that the duty of the Polish army is to guard the eastern flank…” the Polish prime minister stated, as quoted by local media.
Tusk told reporters that Poland would invest heavily in “securing” its eastern frontier, deploying drones and other military assets. He said the responsibility for strengthening the region’s military capabilities should be shared by the EU and NATO.
“After all, we are not talking about a common European army,” Tusk said, “but a very specific problem, namely securing Poland’s eastern border, the border with Russia and Belarus.”
According to Tusk, it’s in the interest of the EU and NATO countries to treat the Polish border as a “common” one, because it will be “easier for us to finance and organize this.”
Tusk has repeatedly alleged that Russia poses a threat to Europe, claiming Moscow could launch a “full-scale operation” against a “larger” target than Ukraine within three to four years. The Kremlin has dismissed the allegations as unfounded. Tusk argues that Poland must serve as a “bastion” to protect NATO’s eastern border and should expand its military capabilities.
Addressing the Polish Parliament last week, Tusk unveiled plans to more than double the size of the country’s military to 500,000, saying Poland must be prepared for future conflicts.
The Kremlin has criticized Tusk’s rhetoric as confrontational and militaristic. Moscow has rejected accusations that it poses a military threat to Europe, with Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissing the claims as “nonsense” designed to justify increased military budgets.
The EU had earlier announced a major military spending plan to address a perceived Russian threat. The REARM plan, introduced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, includes €150 billion ($163 billion) in loans to EU governments for defense spending and fiscal exemptions, potentially lending up to €800 billion ($870 billion) over the next four years.
The Kremlin condemned the bloc’s “militarization” plan, calling it a path towards confrontation that undermines peace efforts in the Ukraine conflict.

Polish president urges US to deploy nuclear weapons in Poland
It’s been reported the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) paid Trump’s government $100billion in a deal that’s murky and it’s still not really clear who owns it now, but Taiwan’s opposition party has called it a protection fee to ‘save it from China’. And the mafia USA claims China’s the threat? No doubt if China complains about this shady deal that will constitute the threat the US talks about?

LOL..
You have to laugh…
“I have obtained full understanding from our Turkish partner that the duty of the Polish army is to guard the eastern flank…” the Polish prime minister stated, as quoted by local media.
It was of course the Poles and it’s King John Sobieski 3rd that saved ‘Christendom’ from the Ottomans in the 17th century..
Now of course the Turks are ‘trusted partners’ because that’s what slow Slavs call all their enemies..which by the way, is probably a grave mistake ..
one of many.. and an unfortunate habit for the Poles..and Lithuanians..
just another chabad commie puppet
A real Poland would think Christian and Slavic, not Turkey
The Poles are forever convinced that they are more important in the world than it is possible for them to be. Here they go again! Tusk wants the EU to:
‘… reinforce its military presence on the country’s borders with Russia and Belarus …’
Eh? Why? Does Tusk fear that the Poles want to get out? Possibly: There is much better food in both Russia and Belarus.
Man fined for keeping politician as a pet
Story by Telegraph reporters
A man who kept an unlicensed labour politician in his back garden has been ordered to pay nearly £1,000 in fines and costs.
Ashley Betts, 32, housed Cliff the politician in a purpose-built outhouse for more than a year before he was found and seized by police. The labour reptile was discovered on July 11 last year when officers who were visiting his home in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on a separate matter asked to see his licence for keeping a politician in his shed
Sheffield magistrates’ court heard how Betts “did not know” he needed papers to keep the politician
He pleaded guilty to breaching the Keeping Dangerous Animals Act.
When asked later by police where he got the animal, Betts said he knocked on my door talking bullshit a year before – so he kidnapped him
The court heard Cliff was seized by inspectors from Rotherham borough council However, the court heard Betts is now working to get his former pet back who worked as a scarecrow in his garden
His defence counsel, James Gray, told the court: “Mr Betts is not being prosecuted for neglect or mistreatment.
“What he is hoping to achieve is, by working with the appropriate departments of the council, he can one day obtain a licence and apply to get the scarecrow politician back.”During sentencing, the court heard there was “no suggestion” the politician was being kept poorly, or in a way that was unsafe to other people.
The judge said it was a good idea to use labour politicians as scarecrows as they were sod all good for anything else
Betts was fined £333, ordered to pay a £133 surcharge and £468 in costs.
As in 1939, the arrogant, stupid Poles are going to be used to start a world war. Only this time, Poland won’t survive.
good point here
all labour politicians should be stood in fields as scare crows

There go the Poles again, confirming the stereotypes are true. They really are stupid as hell, but they come second to Ukrainians.
If Poland was smart they’d quit Nato and the EU and make an alliance with Russia.
They could get cheap natural gas and get regular transit fees from the Germans from a pipeline, as well as gain territory up to and beyond Lviv while carving up Ukraine and getting even with Bandera.
Being independent again they could return to their traditions as well as throw out migrants and shut down the pride march’s.
A total win win.
But only a nationalist would do such a thing, you know, stand up for their nations real interests.
Poland! The world’s second biggest Polish joke!
What’s the first biggest Polish joke?
Ukraine.
