Polish authorities voiced grave concerns Wednesday after slogans praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and his war against Ukraine appeared at Polish farmers’ protests.

The Foreign Ministry said it believed that extreme groups were trying to take over the farmers’ protest movement “perhaps under the influence of Russian agents.”

On Tuesday, one tractor at a protest in the southern region of Silesia carried a Soviet flag and a banner that said: "“Putin, put things in order with Ukraine, Brussels, and our rulers.”

Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski called the banner “scandalous,” and said that it was immediately secured by police, and that prosecutors were also investigating.

    Wait what?

    *“Putin said the Poles forced Hitler to attack them in 1939.”

    "Hitler just wanted to ‘realize his plans’ and Poland was ‘uncooperative’ and ‘forced’ Hitler to attack and start World War II, Putin said.

    Lololol

      Because they didn’t give Nazi Germany a concession and “forced” Germany to invade them. This is the face Tucker gave Putin when he said it and Tucker replied “Exactly”

        Also, during the interview, Putin kept repeating “Poland, this” and “Poland, that”.

        Poland is next on his invade list

          I’d guess the Baltics & Suwalki gap first, maybe with an “integration” of Belarus too, to get full control over it (more fresh meat to throw into the front).

          WWIII baby! You know what that means…nuclear annihilation! Put your best suit on so when the next civilization finds you they’ll say, “Damn, this was one fly ass motherfucker, getting dressed up for a nuclear explosion.”

            He’ll wait until he has man Trump back in. Then NATO can’t be counted on.

        Didn’t know Hitler was a taoist.

        if the folk needs Lebensraum and the way is to reach for it, then we’ll reach for it

        All makes sense now!

      The biggest joke about this delusional history lesson is that Putin basically compared himself to Hitler.
