Poland’s ‘Sanctions-Worthy’ Use of Water Cannons Against Freezing Migrants The crisis on the border between Belarus and Poland took a turn for the worse on Tuesday, with Polish border forces using water cannons against thousands of migrants concentrated on the frontier. The crisis began in July, and escalated last week after thousands of people looking to make their way into the European Union amassed in the border area. The border guards’ actions may constitute a violation of Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights rules, which state that such non-lethal weapons “should only be used in situations of serious public disorder where there is a significant likelihood of loss of life, serious injury or the widespread destruction of property.” It’s not clear what threat unarmed and freezing migrants concentrated at the border pose.
Sputnik LOL Aren't the Ruskies/Belarussians weaponizing the migrants? As in giving them weapons and telling them have at it? Looks like they learned a thing or two from GOP PACs south of our border
It's fucked up if true, but consider the source. If true, consider who sent them to be political cannon fodder
Poles are on average tiresome jerks, Turks as well. They have bad manners and are poorly educated generally. With exceptions. They could be impressive, but can't escape cultural backwards shit. The US with the endless war in the middle East policy created nearly all of this mess back to the start of the cold war. The Arabs were becoming nicely secular and civilized except for the House of Saud who the US blindly backed as the Kings don't like the communists. Well, 6th century Islam bullshit got a massive boost instead and it's never ended.
