Nothing ever went bad after someone invaded Poland
Many thanks to the Dutch pilots defending our airspace.
Soon Poland will be blamed for defending itself
Just Russia testing Polands air defence
As a Pole I would like to thank Dutch, German and Italian pilots for their show of true Solidarity. "In the name of God, for our freedom and yours!"
Wake up Europe!
Q: what do you think Putin is up to? A: Yes.
Love the polish I've worked with polish people here in England and will never forget there pilots flew for the RAF during the second world war all us English stand with you Poland ❤
This wasn't an accident. 19 is a big number to be an accident. That's an aggression act. You don't take a car and drive into a crowd, and then to say it's an accident. No, no, no. It's deliberate.
I live in eastern Poland, in Chełm. I have heard one of them drones about 2am thinking it is a regular plane, and soon after for up to 30 mins jets were flying over and over. The next day I realised what actually happened.
