Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.
Weren’t there Nazi marches in Poland already? I distinctly recall photos of some brownshirt weirdos a couple of years ago
That’s ONR, most open christonazis here. So far pretty marginal.
Much bigger threat are the “sanation” types polofash nationalists, they can move tons of people and have an actual ruling political party behind them, PiS. When shit hits the fan they will slide toward full fascism pretty fast.
What does “sanation” mean in this context?
Piłsudski’s political faction main political slogan was “moral sanation of state and society”, therefore it’s commonly called just “Sanacja” in Poland. PiS openly appeal to that and don’t hide that they see themselves as the political scions of that faction.
I’m guessing by “moral sanation” they mean extermination of everything “deviant”, starting with socialism?
Yup, though it was rather on a less severe range of fascism, mostly due to weakness of communists in Poland.
If I remember historically, not so less severe as German fascism since right sanationists had no problem collaborating with the kraut bastards in antagonizing the Soviets and getting their slice of Czechoslovakia during the inter-war period
More similar to Salazar regime than Hitler one.
PiS boys
