A bit of intrigue going on between Poland, Russia, and Belarus. Apparently, Wagner has been conducting exercises close to the Polish border with Belarus, so Poland has increased their military presence along the Poland/Belarus border. Russia has used this increased military presence to push the notion that Poland is threatening Belarus with an attack to reclaim historical Polish areas. It is of course nonsense that Poland would attack Belarus, but I wouldn't put it past Wagner to try something against Poland to try and draw a response. Russia has stated that an attack on Belarus would be considered an attack on Russia.

I think Poland would be wise enough not to fall for these types of shenanigans, but something to keep an eye on anyway. It wasn't that long ago that Belarus tried to manufacture a migrant refugee crisis in Poland, so you know they aren't against antagonizing Poland to see what they do.



I think the most infuriating part of that video is when Putin says that Poland was abandoned by Western allies during WW2 and then freed by the Soviet Union. Yes, Western abandonment after WW2 was a real thing for Central and Eastern Europe, but the Soviets invaded Poland with the intention to partition it with Nazi Germany and killed hundred of thousands of Poles in the process and then installed a brutal dictatorship after the war. The USSR was bad for Poland just like the the Nazis were.
