The head of the European Council refused a trip to Poland to events in memory of the beginning of WWII

83
A series of refusals by politicians from around the world to come to Poland to the memorial ceremony dedicated to the 80 anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War (WWII) continued. Recall that the presidents of Belarus, the USA and representatives of the Armenian authorities refused to arrive in Warsaw earlier.

The head of the European Council refused a trip to Poland to events in memory of the beginning of WWII




Today it became known that the President of the European Council Donald Tusk is also refusing to travel to Poland. It turns out that this is the second Donald who refuses the trip ...

At one time, this man served as the Polish prime minister, and now, as the head of the European Council, he accuses the current Polish authorities of usurping power and persecuting freedom of speech.

On the air of one of the European channels, Donald Tusk said that he was not going to come to Warsaw for events related to the outbreak of World War II. According to Tusk, in Warsaw everything was done in such a way that he did not appear at the ceremony.

Tusk:

If the Polish authorities want to see guests at this ceremony, then my advice is: you need to (take guests) seriously.

The events themselves will be held in Velun on 1 September. This city is considered the first settlement in Poland to fall under German bombing. In total, about 40 foreign delegations are expected in Velun. It should be reminded that the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, the Polish authorities decided not to invite to these events. Also, the Polish authorities did not invite delegations from Kazakhstan and other Central Asian states to the ceremony.

                It is clear that Donald did not go because Donald did not go. But officially, some other reason should be voiced.
                And then "they did not take the guests seriously" - this is somehow frivolous.
                What exactly is the essence of "frivolity"? On the menu mussels along with red wine approved?

          So here's the thing. In Poland, the "corrosion of democracy" began.
          WASHINGTON, August 31, 2019 02:34 p.m. - REGNUM The head of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, Democrat Eliot Engel, and Republican Party representative Michael McCall sent a letter to the head of the Polish government, Mateusz Moravecki, expressing concern over the state of democracy in the republic. This is stated in the statement of the committee.

        Most likely another.
        Joke.
        A man in the courtyard of an apartment building knocks out a carpet. Suddenly a beautiful topless woman appears in the window of the second floor and a devil man beckons. He succumbed to the spell, will rise to her apartment. There, unexpectedly, a hefty "LGBT activist" attacks the poor fellow with all that it implies.
        The next day, the same peasant takes out another carpet and begins to knock it out. Again the "devil" appears in the window and beckons the man. The unhappy one asks about her "friend" with signs, she turns her head negatively, saying that he is not there. A peasant cautiously enters the beauty's apartment. De ja vu ....!
        On the third day, the man takes out another carpet to be knocked out, and again the devil beckons. The man asks with gestures: "And" this one "is there? To which the beauty shakes her head negatively." Is that for sure? "The man asks again." Yes, yes "the beauty nods in the affirmative!" And then what will I do there ?! " ...

          Yes, everything is simple, the Germans want to bring the situation with the "celebration" of the beginning of the Second World War to the point of absurdity, in order to look like victims in this bad performance. They say that we, the Germans, also suffered from the aggression of Stalin and Hitler, because how many people died in Germany (remark: "crocodile tears are shedding"). What kind of "Teutonic genius" is there, where does he come from, if this has never happened? I don't believe the Germans. Their script does not change. It seems that they started all this in order to rewrite history in their favor, to distort it, to alter it so that people would forget about the atrocities of their ancestors and crimes against humanity. But this will not happen!

In fact, the first Ukrainian officer entered. Well, then it started the unwinding of the Ukrainian liberators. So history is being rewritten actively.

Moreover, those who have suffered the most are not invited to Poland. Most likely, this is a commemoration for the failed greatness in 2.

      Recall that the presidents of Belarus, the USA and representatives of the Armenian authorities refused to arrive in Warsaw earlier.
      But the first was "Batko" ...
      The events themselves will be held in Velun on 1 September.
      It’s strange that it’s not on Westerplatte

      They will probably prefer to forget again how the Nazis pulled Czechoslovakia.

      Good words were said in the program "Military Secret" today (Vladimir Putin or something).
      -If they so want to reconsider the Second World War. Then we can show them to them ...

      What a good response to Greater Poland’s ambition from his fellow countryman, although this is most likely an intrusion of disassembly. But the picture turns out to be funny. Those who started the war and attacked Poland, but those who liberated, there are no heads of state of the republics of the former USSR and Russia. Yes, and the allies who threw the Poles in 1939 France and Britain welcome guests, and Ukraine will also represent the OUN and UPA who also freed the lands of Ukraine from the Poles. hi

        Suppose, during the cleansing of the Warsaw ghetto, a company of Ukrainian policemen was present.

        Hitler-Chamberlain pact forgot. The agreement between Germany and Poland on the unhindered passage of German troops to the eastern border of Poland was also.
        The Poles wanted to go with Hitler to Moscow. Yes Ribentrop with Molotov stacked, and violinist Poland was not needed.

      Spit Poles right in their insolent face. Such things are useful for general well-being, when the concept of decency and conscience is strained.

      Putin was not invited to Poland, Lukashenko refused to go in protest. Upon learning that Lukashenko was not traveling, Trump refused the trip, and if Trump did not go, Tusk would be sad there too ... In short, the Poles with the Germans will mark the anniversary of the start of WWII. They began to celebrate. wassat

      It is clear that Donald did not go because Donald did not go. But officially, some other reason should be voiced.
      And then "they did not take the guests seriously" - this is somehow frivolous.
      What exactly is the essence of "frivolity"? On the menu mussels along with red wine approved?

      Unclear?
      To think if, then everything becomes clear.
      The Pole could not accuse Poland of bias in the conduct of this event.
      Blame YOURSELF for Nazism? That's too much.
      Therefore, a reason was invented that gently caresses against the coat.

      Strange ... Are the Poles celebrating the start of the war? Guests are also invited? It turns out that they were happy with Hitler’s attack? Now I understand why the Poles RUSSIA consider the aggressor ..
