| #16 I don't think Vlad wants to flatten Kiev. Chemical Warfare would empty the city. What's in the 40 mile long truck convoy that just sits there ? |

| #15 Hungary and Poland are enthusiastically pro-US. That alone puts them at odds with the Euro's. |

| #14 Why are we allied with these jerks? How can they be doing this to an ally on the front lines who's taking in millions of refugees? |

| #13 The EUrines are punishing the Poles and Hungarians because of their supposedly cruel persecution of the sacred alphabet people. When the Poles are taking in millions of refugees. Wow. Meanwhile, a top Polish court ruled on Thursday that the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) could not question the appointment of Polish judges in a verdict which could further strain Warsaw's relations with the EU. Poland's conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party is now calling for European solidarity and EU funds to help deal with the influx of refugees. |

| #12 Oh my god ... it's not a joke . They actually voted to punish Poland and Hungary just now. For real. Toxic issue at heart of EU laid bare by Ukraine war as Poland hit with major sanction THE EUROPEAN UNION has been criticised after MEPs voted to sanction Poland and Hungary where more than one million refugees have found sanctuary from the war in Ukraine. By JON KING 19:23, Thu, Mar 10, 2022 More than two million people have fled Ukraine after Russia's invasion, with 1.4 million welcomed by Poland and 214,000 by Hungary up to March 9, according to the United Nations. But that did not stop 478 MEPs voting on Thursday in favour of punishing both countries. |

| #11 I'm confused too... I thought Poland was part of the West. NATO and EU member. Can someone please explain why the West is sanctioning Poland? Is it April 1st according to some EU calendar we're not aware of? |

| #10 America is not the EU, Mr. No. You’re overdue for today’s valium pill. |

| #8 EU just sanctioned Poland so that's more complicated. |

| #7 ^ As planned. No US administration could possibly be so incompetent as this. The economic, political diplomatic blowback was totally predictable. The point of sanctions is obviously to reduce our influence in the world and make us poorer. |

| #6 If stuff sent to Poland ends up pointed at the west, I'd say NATO is finished. |

| #5 Hopefully we don't see those missiles aimed at our guys when this is over. Same for the manpads. Ukraine is corrupt as hell. |

| #2 The Russian stance has always been that defensive systems, especially missile defenses, are "destabilizing," because they blunt the Russian offensive threat. |
