I watched the short clip and went looking for the full conversation. Polish Member of the European Parliament Dominik Tarczyński is telling Patrick Bet-David that the migrant pressure on Poland’s border with Belarus was not a spontaneous humanitarian emergency. It was engineered. [VIDEO]
In the longer sit-down Tarczyński walks through the sequence he describes. Migrants arrived in organized groups, mostly young men. Detainees carried Russian tourist visas. The route, in his account, ran from places such as Syria through Russia to Belarus and then to the Polish line. He calls it hybrid warfare: a tool used by Russia (and Iran) to distract attention from Ukraine, drain Polish resources on hotels and services, and pressure the European Union. When Poland changed the law so that illegal crossings and attacks on soldiers could be met with lethal force, the numbers dropped. He says the message reached Arabic-language forums: do not go to Poland.
