World leaders mark 80th anniversary of start of World War II

Leaders from a number of countries are gathering in Poland on Sunday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II. The ceremonies started early in Wielun, the first city to be bombarded by the German Luftwaffe on September 1, 1939, with speeches by Polish President Andrzej Duda and his German counterpart, Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The presidents, local officials and residents — among them survivors of the bombings — observed a minute of silence in memory of an estimated 2,000 victims.

In his speech, Polish President Duda thanked Steinmeier for his presence at the painful anniversary.

"Eighty years ago, at this very moment, all hell rained down on Wielun — fuelled by German racist barbarity and the desire to annihilate," said Steinmeier. The German president also asked for Polish forgiveness. "I bow before the Polish victims of German tyranny, and I ask for your forgiveness."

Minutes later, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and the deputy head of the European Commission Frans Timmermans led observances at Westerplatte Peninsula, on the Baltic coast, the site of the war's first battle as Polish troops put up resistance.

1. Herr Drumpf was not interested

So he made the excuse that he had to monitor the storm, then headed off to the golf course, which is where he wanted to go.
And we all know he could not monitor the storm from Poland (snark)

2. They're back.

We put them down. They were an existential threat to civilization. And now we’ve let them back in.
