Ermmm... what?

The genuine irony is how Poland, my home country, within 24hrs went from telling the EU to go stuff itself to begging for help, and seemingly even without noticing the contradiction.

For the journalist, I feel very sorry (I don’t know much about him tbh but death penalty is excessive for any crime, even more so for one imagined by Lukashenko). This doesn’t preclude making a wider observation.

But surely, this is what my Russian masters told me to say on the major geopolitical forum that is HN. Da svidania.

I am not sure I see the contradiction here at all. If the two issues are related, it is in a very tangential manner. I mean no offense, but it sounds like a talking points and not like an actual argument.

The contradiction is asking for help from the EU on the one hand while not accepting the EU's rulings on the other hand.

What GP is criticizing is this attitude of trying to get representation without taxation, to put it in US terms.

Ok, thanks for pointing why I got flagged and -2 points. Just for your record, Sasha is not Polish name at all, but is one of most popular russian one, that already shows some attitude at least and in conjunction to fuzzying discussion by introducing new focus elements and or discrediting actions by pointing to non related actions, that all is to me VERY suspecious. And need to point that too - all of it can be purely accidental. It is just too often it is not, that led me to try to save you from that crap. Will not do it again, sorry.
