Boyan on Polish "news": war with Russia and WWII reparation demands

“On the Barricades” s05e32

In this special release of “On the Barricades,” we have some solo commentary from host Boyan Stanislavski responding to recent news concerning Poland. Boyan discusses two cases of incredibly ridiculous news items coming from the Law and Justice Party, part of their efforts to divert public attention from the deteriorating economic conditions, energy crisis, etc. in Poland.

The first is a made-up, baseless thesis from Deputy Defense Minister Marcin Ociepa that “There is a significant risk of war with Russia which we will face in the next 10 years,” and that “We must make the most of this time to rearm the Polish military.” Boyan explains why there is no sense to this hypothesis.

Boyan also answers a question asked by some of our viewers about the news of the Polish government’s demand to Germany for 1.3 trillion Euros in WWII reparations. What is the background making this, too, nothing more than a ludicrous move from the Law and Justice party meant to further aggravate the Polish population, while irritating both German and Russian powers?
