The irony here just churns my stomach...
- It's only bad if you genocide white people
- It's even weirder, as he apparently did not intended to visit.
Remember when South Africa said they would arrest Putin if he came there to visit the 2023 BRICS summit? They upheld international law at a high cost. Now the Poland flushes it down the toilet.
- Specifically, the opposition party Diet Apartheid said they would arrest Putin to appease the
  knowingly in contravention of the South African government.
  South Africa of course warned Putin not to arrive in Johannesburg for the BRICS summit due to potential security risks from compradors and threats of much more punitive sanctions than before.
"The UN is toothless", they cry.
And then they pull this shit.
Wasn't it two days ago that they were complaining that ICC member Mongolia didn't arrest Putin when he has a warrant out for him?
Maybe he's not going there to pay respect, but to learn from mistakes of the other fascists?
News apart, why did I always assume that Auschwitz was in Austria?! I guess I'm just dumb
- Auschwitz is the German version of the name of Polish town Oświęcim where the camp is located. Poles and many other people too specifically says "Oświęcim" when it's about town and "Auschwitz" when it's about camp, to signify who's responsible for the camp.
  Also fun fact, the Polish name means "we will sanctify" in archaic Polish
