farmers' protests against poisoned food from Ukraine

Oh, it's "poisoned" now? Only yesterday it was "too cheap". 🤡

Clown world.

PS. The whole situation stems from the idiotic recommendation by Poland's minister of agro for Polish farmers to hold off selling their grain because at the time Pukin's fleet was blocading Black Sea ports and "everybody knew" the price had nowhere to go but up. When the Red fleet collapsed under USV and missile strikes so did the blockade and prices had fallen too.

PPS. What's even more funny is that grain imports from USSR into Poland has doubled compared to 2022 levels while Ukrainian imports are currently back to 2022 levels. Yet these supposedly "independent" protesters/farmers are displaying Pukin's portraits... "Coincidence? Don't think so"

Poland outlines new rules for use of firearms at border amid escalating migration crisis.

Poland’s government has proposed new rules for the use of firearms by uniformed officers amid an escalation of the security crisis at the border with Belarus. Prime Minister Donald Tusk ordered them to be prepared following the death of a soldier who was stabbed while trying to stop migrants from crossing.

The measures would remove criminal liability for the use of weapons in certain cases when officers are acting in self-defence or repelling “attacks on the border”.

“The deteriorating security situation means that the armed forces are and should be used more and more often for operational, reconnaissance and deterrence purposes,” wrote the defence ministry, which was responsible for preparing the bill.

“This means that soldiers should be equipped with personal weapons during these activities and, more importantly, should have the authority to use, if necessary, means of direct coercion and weapons,” they added, quoted by the Rzeczpospolita daily.

WHY DID THEY PROVOKE THE BEST FRIEND OF OUR GREAT CHRISTIAN LEADER?

Yup. Foreign sheep dipped secret agent man Blinken didn't pull the wool over Poland's eyes for his neocon bullshit.

Poland overtakes Russia in value of exports for first time

Poland has surpassed Russia in terms of the value of exports for the first time on record, new World Bank data for 2023 show. They also reveal that Poland has risen to become the 19th largest exporter in the world.

Poland’s exports of goods and services reached $469 billion last year (up from $433.7 billion in 2022), compared to $466.6 billion in sanctions-hit Russia (down from $640.9 billion in 2022).

The size of Russia’s economy ($2.02 trillion in 2023) remains over twice as large as Poland’s ($811.23 billion) and the Russian population (144 million) is almost four times larger than Poland’s (37 million).

However, Russia has seen its exports slump since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the resultant international sanctions placed on it, while Poland’s long-term rise in exports has accelerated since 2020.

Both countries’ exports began to grow rapidly in the early 2000s, boosted by global economic growth. While Poland’s rose fairly steadily, Russia’s figures have been more bumpy as they are largely based on oil and gas exports, commodities with high price volatility.

Russia’s rise halted for several years after 2014, when it annexed Crimea. Later, its exports briefly peaked at $640.9 billion in 2022, likely due to increased purchases by buyers who wanted to obtain Russian raw materials before the sanctions imposed on the country after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine took full effect.

Poland has been one of Ukraine’s closest allies during the war and also one of the strongest advocates for implementing tougher sanctions on Russia.

Last year, the world’s biggest exporter was China ($3.5 trillion), followed by the United States ($3.1 trillion) and Germany ($2.1 trillion). Poland ranked 19th, just behind Belgium ($535 billion) and Spain ($616 billion).

What a load of statistical shit.

People in countries like Egypt and Pakistan would literally starve without Russian wheat keeping prices down because of its 'valueless' exports of the stuff. Plus other crops. Plus fertilizers other nations need to grow their own crops domestically.

Then there's minerals like titanium and nickel. Rare Earth's, too.

So German industry upped their production in Poland and that is somehow 'more valuable'.

Having been to Poland last year, I can confirm that their economy is doing extremely well lately.

That fits with my impression of Poland's economy. It was clearly doing very well and expanding rapidly.

Given Poland's history of getting invaded from both sides, this is a good idea.
