@Snowshadow my friends at the front-lines can't get military supplies. I'm in the middle of a #Boycott of #Polish products, as everyone should around the world.
@jonn I added it to my OP.
@Snowshadow @jonn - it is about EU farmers and truckers losing their livelihoods to unfair competition. They have been complaining for a long time and Zelensky did not care. Instead the Ukrainian government sued Poland, Hungary, Slovakia in the WTO and put pressure on them through the EU. The result is the rise in anti-Ukrainian, anti-EU sentiment in Poland and anti-Polish sentiment in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Polish gov. keeps delivering and repairing weapons, Poles keep hosting Ukrainians.
@tom_andraszek @jonn I did some checking. Polish farmers are having a hissy fit over a 5% exported food from Ukraine, at a time when Ukraine is fighting for it's life and democracy of Europe. Please take your "Polish farmers are losing their livilihoods" exaggerated comments somewhere else.
@Snowshadow @jonn -
1. I don't watch Sky News.
2. The 5% number was given as a share of Ukrainian exports, not a share of what Ukrainian imports are in the Polish market. Do more checking.
3. How would you feel if you had no earnings for a year and had no prospects of finding a job in your field ever?
@tom_andraszek
1) That's good you don't watch sky news.
2)I am aware of the numbers.
3)Temporary unemployment vs the deaths of innocent civilians?
4)Temporary unemployment vs the death of democracy in Europe?
5) That is a very tough choice for you, eh?
@Snowshadow I thought Sky News is something where they discuss #Formula1!
Implied reputation explains why they employ racists to comment on races (uh, I swear to everything that is sacred, there was no pun intended whatsoever).
@jonn Notice he never got back to me? I guess I made my point.

funny! The guy can't come to terms with the fact that border protests are #kremlin-orchestrated to a degree when different #Ukraine support groups independently start to #BoycottPolishProducts, he sees a conspiracy to "make the situation worse".
@jonn Aaahhhcckk. Just ignore him. Let him stew in his own juices. People like that can't be convinced despite what proof you present or how many people disagree. Not worth getting upset over. block him.
