NATO Fractures: In U-Turn, Poland Announces It Will No Longer Arm Ukraine
• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden"Poland will no longer arm Ukraine to focus on its own defense," Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced just hours after Warsaw summoned Ukraine's ambassador related to a fresh war of words and spat over blocked grain, according to the AFP. Warsaw has throughout more than a year-and-a-half of the Ukraine-Russia war been Kiev's staunchest and most outspoken supporter.
Will this massive and hugely significant about-face mark the beginning of the end? Are peace negotiations and ceding of territory in the Donbas inevitable at this point?
Within the last 48 hours relations between Poland and Ukraine quickly spiraled to their lowest point since the Russian invasion, and it is directly related to Warsaw leading a handful of EU countries to extend a grain export ban on Ukraine, amid continuing anger and outrage from Polish farmers who are suffering due to their country being flooded with cheap Ukrainian wheat.

The headline is incredibly misleading. There is no crack in the alliance. Poland was among the first to contribute weapons, and they did so until it hurt. They are simply out of extra stuff to give. As well, Poland is also keenly aware that they are next on Russia's list, so they have been rapidly accelerating their own up-arming. In order to be prepared for the expected conflict through Belarus, Poland has to switch all their focus to fortifying. Their pile of physical stuff is not as big as the rest of NATO, and in holding nothing back, they have depleted it. But the political myopic wishful thinking that this somehow means Poland has given up on supporting Ukraine is purely fake news political spin attempting to sway the weak-minded.
