Join us as we explore the enduring consequences of Ukraine, Poland, and Russia's troubled past and how it continues to impact modern politics. From centuries-long conflicts to shifting borders and power struggles, their intertwined destinies have left an indelible mark on the present-day political stage. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the historical context that underlies the current tensions among these nations, as we uncover the lasting effects of past events. Discover how these countries' tumultuous past continues to influence diplomatic relations, regional alliances, and the pursuit of national interests. We shed light on significant factors such as territorial disputes, cultural divisions, and conflicting ideologies.
One of the topics we will bring to light is a grim chapter from history that shakes very foundation of Polish-Ukrainian relations. It's a wound that festers, even after decades: the brutal massacre of as many as 200,000 ethnic Poles, an act orchestrated by Ukraine's controversial figure, Stepan Bandera.

Really great discussion. I know little about poland and everything was well explained and presented. Truely interesting and understandable while giving a historical geopolitical picture.

Many thanks Dr.Oul. and to your guess M.Krupa very good choice , an incentive for your great followers to continue in search of real and authentic story and history .

[@conniekeshet]

Also i must say great questions, covering a variety of topics that were answered amazingly.

[@alhassangangu4357]

Mile Krupa is very knowledgeable and very articulate. I didn't know Mike speaks Italian that well.

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

He's indeed!!

[@elenayoung4609]

A great interview with Michal - packed with information, for the first time Poland's position, recent moves and prospects re: Ukraine became clear. Thank you!

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

Indeed! Very informative! Will definitely have Mike back!!

[@sepam82]

I believe that the people must rise up and topple their warrior leaders who love to fight for their "freedom"and "sovereignty". If They want to fight let them do so without their citizens.There are reasonable leaders who care for their people and we love these leaders

[@per-hakanjohansson7641]

Very interesting listening to Krupa, and you, as always. ❤

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

thank you! He's very informed!!!

Great interview & interesting shift by Poland - seems the same will occur w the US as the war amnesia kicks in as it always does

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

thanks!!!

[@rashmigupta9]

Thanks. Its always good to hear insights from Mike.

[@kazdziamka4927]

Trudno jest z Tobą, Mike, bardziej się zgodzić. Mam nadzieje, że masz coraz większą popularność w Polsce.

[@georgel7222]

Great segment!

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Dr is a good interviewer because he keeps silent and listens. This allows the guest to go uninterrupted

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

Thank you!

[@user-ed9so2rb4k]

Very good interview of the earlier histories of those nations involved. National politics based on race is really a dangerous ingredient to fulfill national aspirations.

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

thank you!!

[@jk5042]

Thank you for this interview

[@michelledenis9146]

Thank you for enlightening me

[@loktom4068]

It's so good to see the other side of the story. Instead of someone's twisted fake news.

[@joegoh1968]

It is amazing that the US is behind so many shit that's going on.

[@timothylee8552]

Excellent discussion, everyone should watch and learn from Mike

[@onosnow6500]

Wow... this is very interesting! I agreed with Mark about the peace talk without inviting Russia... I never thought of it...

[@titanictechno]

Jestem pod milym wrazeniem bardzo dobrego J. Angielskiego pana dr.Krupy. Pozdrawiam z Australii.

[@g.m.8360]

Wow 👍

[@Zbyt_Dociekliwa]

Great interview, thanks a lot. We need more unbiased facts as Mike presented, instead of propaganda, especialy in Poland. The sad reality is, that we need to use YT to be fairly informed. All the best from Warsaw. Looking forward to see both of You together soon.

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

You're welcome and appreciate you sharing your perspective!!

[@Keine_Macht_fuer_Niemand]

Michal is a great guest. There where many wars between Poland an Russia. For example while the russian civilwar almost all now called western countries tried to invade russia. Poland through Belarus, US trough Vladivostok and Arhangelsk, the British in the baltic sea. Several decades ago a survivor told me while that times Polish and Ukrainian forces killed several ten thousand jews. That was long before Bandera. Till nowadeys the polish government denys that it ever happened. That was yust one less known war if many. Both sides have many reasons to dislike and distrust each other but that attitude wont solve any problem. Slavic people could be such a powerful tribe but it seems they prefer war. Sad.

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

He's indeed and very informative!!

[@prestonyoung3807]

I didn't even know this till Mike said it. Thank you for showcasing the ugliness of the Poles and Ukrainians western media wants to whitewash.

[@Frank-xn8bs]

That survivor lied to you.

[@miguelmolina1147]

I’m glad to finally hear smart and honest guest speak the truth on what’s going on that part of the world. Nothing but propaganda news from the 3 letter news Chanel’s in the USA. New subscriber, 😊

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

Spot on, Miguel!! Glad to have you join our community!!

[@far5675]

Since when Poland is a Rottweiler!?Poland was a Chihuahua of German’s in WWII and nowChihuahua of Americans no threat to a Grizzly 😅😅😅😅

[@rashmigupta9]

I think Churchill called Poland the hyenas of Europe.

[@johnnykrauze]

Right, Poland will not invade Russia and capture Moscow again.

[@morrisdyer9560]

Thanks 👍👍👍

[@piotrweydmann3345]

The best you can get, about current situation on Poland and so called Eastern Flank Take care Michal

Mike is a sharp shooter.

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

Keep in mind most of what’s being sent over to natoKraine is merely being lended not gifted

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

Good point!!

[@fedinvestment]

Great interview

[@kbaz3720]

Q: How come the polish suffered all these Ukrainian barbarism and still support the Kiev regime??? There must be bribes given to the high ranking officials or they are threatened or they are an extension of the Banderas team

[@rashmigupta9]

Hatred for Russia and urge to please US.

[@Kiss_MyAss]

The Poles are ordered by their masters, the evil USA regime, to throw away their dignity and respect to help their Ukrainian N@zi murderers in this US proxy war!

[@johnnykrauze]

Russian troll/bot

[@sonarbangla8711]

I was not aware of the tragic history of the Poles, I find this account very descriptive, but I am aware of the muddled history of the western Ukraine, a perfect example of 'civilization at the expense of barbarism', no wonder Putin's de-Nazification seems appropriate, opposing it will need a war 10 times more severe. David has produced the best solution to an impossible situation.

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

now you do!!

[@spuntsofnewyork]

1 .Pope John Paul. 2.Ronald Reagan. 3.Mik Gorbachev. Even if Poland wanted to execute a Peace Plan, one person with Reagan’s caliber was missing. Putin would fit in perfectly for Gorbachev, even though they disagreed on many issues.

[@nowhere474]

WONDER WHAT IMPACT THE PRUSSIAN ELEMENT WITHIN POLISH POLITICS, HAVE ANY ROLE IN THIS CONFLICT??

[@GeopoliticsInConflict]

Great question!!! Mike is in a much better position to answer this question than I do!!

[@jerzy1551]

Ukrainian nationalism has many parallels with 'Jewish' nationalism. I do not believe that the incorporation of Crimea into Bolshevik Ukraine is a whim or the result of alcoholic intoxication.

[@holeef...v2994]

That was set up, ticking bomb. Long story anyway

[@holyhang7835]

That western part was Galicia and Kievan-Russ was mas made capitalof PrinceOleg son ofRurik kingdom. The Ukraine was only createdby LeninandtheBolsheviks from the Russian word "ukr" meaning borderland or edge in around 1918.

[@Ripley201]

Mike, get some sleep. You look exhausted 😩

[@mindmybusynassm1645]

🤔 Guess what Mike's brisk mind expressions are beyond any doubts.clear and fresh enough that makes people like you sound sarcastic.

Poland should promote peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

18:20 It's not just about what they did to us in the past, but what they still do. They glorify the perpetrators of this genocide and do not allow exhumations while Germany continues to exhume Wehrmacht soldiers even during the war. They make boorish provocations. They greet our politicians with Bandera flags, they hung a bust/plaque of Shukhevych on the Polish school in Lviv. "Ukraine Makes Birthday of Nazi Collaborator a National Holiday and Bans Book Critical of Anti-Semitic Leader" "Sondaż: Gwałtowny wzrost sympatii dla OUN-UPA i Bandery wśród Ukraińców" "Poll: Surge of support for OUN-UPA and Bandera among Ukrainians" "Lwów: popiersie banderowskiego zbrodniarza wisi na polskiej szkole" (Lviv: the bust of the Bandera criminal hangs on a Polish school) "Flaga ukraińskich nacjonalistów podczas wizyty Niedzielskiego. Resort zdrowia komentuje" (The flag of Ukrainian nationalists during Niedzielski's visit. The Ministry of Health comments) "Polscy dyplomaci powitani flagą banderowską!" (Polish diplomats welcomed with the Bandera flag!) "Na Ukrainie trwają ekshumacje niemieckich żołnierzy z II wojny światowej. Ekshumacji ofiar Rzezi Wołyńskiej nadal brak" (Exhumations of German soldiers from World War II are ongoing in Ukraine. There are still no exhumations of the victims of the Volhynian Massacre) Most of these articles are in Polish, you'll have to use an online translator.

[@Lorenzo-ew6so]

Look you can disagree with me but I say this with all good intentions for Ukraine, listen to Russia declare yourself a neutral country, Kick all the foreign soldiers out and become a country again, and I am sure the Russians will treat you better than you expected, because it's not so much the Russians you have to fear as the ones who really want your land and Zelensky is willing to give it to them for a price. 💀☠💀☠💀☠💀☠
