powdering the corpse Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2022-05-06 22:30:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Prawdziwych przyjaciół poznaje się w biedzie – mówi stare przysłowie. Rosyjski atak na Ukrainę to bieda, w której możemy przekonać się o tym, ile wart jest sojusz Polski i Węgier, który jest dzieckiem polskiej prawicy a szczególnie Prawa i Sprawiedliwości i jego prezesa Jarosława Kaczyńskiego. Premier Mateusz Morawiecki próbował jeszcze w piątek pudrować tego trupa, jakim stał się ten sojusz przekonując w Polsat News, że skoro Wiktor Orban poparł sankcje, to uważa, że Rosja jest winna ataku na Ukrainę. - https://www.rp.pl/opinie-polityczno-spoleczne/art35811381-mi... ==== Suldrzynski recalls the old adage, “A true friend is in trouble.” According to him, there is a problem now, as Russia has attacked Ukraine, and now it is worth how much the Polish right, namely the Law and Justice Party and its president, is worth, Jaroslaw Kaczynski alliance with the Hungarians. According to the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the RP, the Polish Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki he tried to save what could be saved (“powdering the corpse” – if we literally translate Suldrzynski) and in his statement on Friday that Viktor Orbán had joined the sanctions against Russia. But according to the Polish journalist, the problem is not whether Orbán supported the sanctions. But it is spreading the fake Russian version of the events of recent days that threatens Poland’s raison d’état. - https://fresno24.com/he-stabs-poland-in-the-back-with-a-rust... |
