Putin claims without evidence that Poland is seeking to invade Belarus

Vladimir Putin has said Russia would use 'all means at its disposal' to defend Belarus after claiming without evidence that Poland was seeking to invade the Russian ally.

Poland and other EU countries have expressed concern over training sessions held by the Wagner group for Belarusian troops in western Belarus, near the border with Poland. On Friday, Poland’s security committee said it would move troops toward the east in response to the deployment of the Russian paramilitaries near their border.

Speaking during a Kremlin security council meeting on Friday, the Russian president said Poland was 'dreaming of Belarusian lands' and 'unleashing aggression against Belarus would mean aggression against the Russian Federation'.

It's funny how Putin says Poland was invaded by Germany but failed to mention that Russia also invaded Poland as a pact was made with Germany. But I guess Russia can pick and choose what is real history.

[kriskrisSILESIA]

Well, lets go further, Moscow was once under Polish rule

As a pole I dream day and night of getting these beautiful potato fields

Poland actually LOST substantial land to the Soviet Union. Inter-war Poland in 1939 had a land area of 389, 720 square kilometres. Post war after, the Soviets had annexed eastern Poland after invading alongside Germany. Poland was left with 312, 677 square kilometres of land at the post war peace conference. Putin claims the USSR helped Poland to gain land but the only clear evidence is that they occupied 201, 015 square kilometres.

"taking back historic lands" is something literally only Putin thinks about

[christopherwhittaker]

He’s insane. Literally.
Totally lost the plot.

[prisonmike]

How delusional do you want to be?
Putin: да!

[curtish.]

This man is living in a long foregone past. Imagine your mind being stuck in a time that simply doesn't exist anymore. The world has passed him by.

[nostro]

*The Soviets invaded Poland on 17 September of 1939* and here is Putin blaming the Germans HAHAHAHA

[jozefmasny]

When you are so obsessed with invasions that you assume everyone is as crazy as you.

[jcfur]

Poor thing. The Russian garden dwarf is definitively living in his Soviet-Union 2.0 dream.

[TheAllMightyGodofCod]

He does know we all know about the Molotov Ribbentrop pact and how the invasion of Poland really went in 1939, does he?

[alejandrosotomartin]

As we say in Spain " the thief thinks that everyone is of his same condition".

[ingi]

It's funny because in my history books, the USSR invaded Poland together with the German war machine in 1939. Maybe Putin is the one who needs a reminder.

[lkg]

Basically, Putin is saying "Belarus belongs to Russia"

[JanKowalski-jwiz]

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin seems to have forgotten that Russia and Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and occupied it until 1989.

[ServiceSprint]

Yeah as a Pole I confirm, we want to colonize Russia, Usa, England we already did as same as Germany and Netherlands. Our brave carpenters and welders rule these lands. Next on our schedule is the moon, solar system and in the next decade Alpha Centauri.

Rule number 1 of every dictator: accuse everyone else of something you would do yourself

[stephenjwprior]

🤣 Stalin did mass executions of nearly 22, 000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union

[pjhgerlach]

If Putin accuses you of doing something than you know he's going to do it.
