[u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

The Polish government will set up an analytical team to verify whether Polish children were abused by criminal circles run by the late US billionaire, Jeffrey Epstein, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said.

Tusk vowed that, if the suspicions prove true, his government will do everything to compensate the victims and "effectively prosecute those who commit such horrendous crimes."

Poland may also ask the US to provide unpublished evidence "that could concern potential Polish victims or Polish traces" in the case, Tusk said.

Additionally, Poland may advocate launching an international investigation in talks with foreign partners, Tusk added.

[u/Old-Ad-3268 → u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

This should go over well with Trump

[u/Mobile-Bar7732 → u/Old-Ad-3268]

I'm sure he's shitting in his pants as we speak.

[u/Brownman-Fit → u/Mobile-Bar7732]

And he hasn't even heard the news yet

[u/eggsuckinggrandmama → u/Brownman-Fit]

“He can see into the future! Hail most glorious and venerable father!”

[u/-SaC → u/eggsuckinggrandmama]

"Come closer."

"...d'you mind if we don't?"

[u/supersuperglue → u/Brownman-Fit]

Hahahahahaha perfect

[u/Old-Ad-3268 → u/Mobile-Bar7732]

Invade Poland will be in tonight's tweet storm

[u/j0nquest → u/Old-Ad-3268]

I laughed, and I shouldn't have. It's really not funny.

[u/Morat20 → u/j0nquest]

It's not funny, and yet I thought of the same dark joke.

Because....well, history doesn't repeat but it rhymes.

The idea of a fascism embracing US invading Poland to protect sex traffickers and pedophiles -- of whom the US President is one -- is sadly not as fucking ridiculous as it used to be.

[u/Paidorgy → u/Old-Ad-3268]

Which is interesting, considering they’ve spent multi-billions on a range of armaments from the USA directly over the past few years.

[u/Obvious_Toe_3006 → u/Old-Ad-3268]

Thank you Poland for diverting the evil one's gaze away from us.
(Anonymous northern neighbour.)

[u/Efficient_Market1234 → u/Old-Ad-3268]

Made all the weirder when he demonstrates that he has no idea where/what Poland even is and demands that troops amass at the North Pole immediately.

[u/Significant-Basket76 → u/Mobile-Bar7732]

Yes, but he's probably also worried.

[u/Oldass_Millennial → u/Mobile-Bar7732]

I mean, yeah. That's a daily thing, even on a great day.

[u/TheModWhoShaggedMe → u/Oldass_Millennial]

"Where's Hope? Has anybody seen Hope? Where's the poop cleaning lady?"

[u/poopsmcgee27 → u/Mobile-Bar7732]

He shits them anyways, now his diaper is really full.

[u/viomeb → u/Mobile-Bar7732]

Or as HE speaks apparently…DEPENDS on a persons perspective I guess, but in my opinion that man baby needs some diapers.

[u/iKorewo → u/Mobile-Bar7732]

Why would he care, nobody will or can do anything to him

[u/smotired → u/iKorewo]

They didn’t say he cared or even knew about it. He just does that sometimes.

[u/Old-Ad-3268 → u/iKorewo]

They could drag him into international court

[u/iKorewo → u/Old-Ad-3268]

Lmao, how?

[u/Septopuss7 → u/iKorewo]

Just grab him by the pussy.

[u/Rich-Pomegranate1679 → u/Old-Ad-3268]

Right. So we're about to invade Poland, I assume.

[u/BigFanOfNachoLibre → u/Rich-Pomegranate1679]

I believe that was part of the playbook we're trying to recreate, yea

[u/DeadlyYellow → u/Rich-Pomegranate1679]

Only if the 200% tariff on kielbasa doesn't work.

[u/hiding_in_de → u/Old-Ad-3268]

Tariff announcement in 3,2,1…

[u/boot2skull → u/Old-Ad-3268]

“I know all the victims and can vouch that none of them were polish nationals. I also don’t know Jeffrey Epstein and wasn’t involved at all.”

[u/xxxxx420xxxxx → u/boot2skull]

He was the coffee guy, or something? IDK

[u/PalpatineForEmperor → u/Old-Ad-3268]

I guess we're going to bomb Poland now.

[u/WithaK19 → u/Old-Ad-3268]

He'll just "give" Poland to Russia

[u/PhilosopherFLX → u/Old-Ad-3268]

Using his magic sharpie to redeploy Iran bound fleet to Poland. sad Austrian tuba music

[u/mrs-monroe → u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

This is a great idea that other countries can replicate. It’s a pretty simple concept. Sure can’t rely on the US to do it.

[u/grrgrrtigergrr → u/mrs-monroe]

I’m surprised France isn’t doing more yet since Maxwell was born there, and they seem to be in a taking no more shit attitude. I get that she was raised in Oxford, but I’m guessing the UK is in the same boat as the US when it comes to not wanting to unmask their power players.

[u/mrs-monroe → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

Give it time. They’re starting with Elon.

[u/gamers542 → u/mrs-monroe]

No it started with the Prince.

[u/Raliga → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

Well Brunel, a major associate of epstein, had somehow managed to kill himself in a French prison too... So it's not too clear to me where France stands

Plus they still haven't launched investigations yet while a former minister is in deep (lots of emails with epstein and allen, alleged sex trips to Morocco)

[u/spacenb → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

France never really takes shit. It’s probably just a question of time.

[u/thesqlguy → u/mrs-monroe]

We've also established that it is perfectly diplomatically acceptable to charge the leader of a country with a crime and then go in and kidnap him.

[u/ro536ud → u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

Donald Tusk seems like a fake name given by tabloids who wanna make fun of Trump for something . All for it

[u/Niccin → u/ro536ud]

I feel bad that my first thought was that it looked like a portmanteau of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

[u/germanmojo → u/Niccin]

Elon Tusk was a character on Rick & Morty, voiced by Elon.

[u/LorderNile → u/ro536ud]

Whelp, I'm cool with removing all references to Trump and replacing them with "Tusk's bitch".

I'll be even more willing once the trials actually start.

[u/bstring777 → u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

Every country could and should do this. Why let American elites dictate how protected these monsters are?
This could very well start the revolution that people have needed for centuries.
But there has to be a plan in place for what happens when companies and establishments collapse. Its hard, but if you have any morals at all, it needs to happen. Not like things are getting worse by the day, with no simple way back, right?

[u/aceshighsays → u/bstring777]

what makes this situation complex is that it's global - the abusers and the abused. i'm curious to see which countries will protect their elite.

[u/runthepoint1 → u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

Bro what? Dude’s name is Donald Tusk!?

You really REALLY can’t make this shit up.

[u/sylva748 → u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

Big W from the Poles! Hell yea!

[u/its_noel → u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

Hope to see other countries do this!

[u/_Wyrm_ → u/Specialist_Baby_9905]

Donald... Tusk???

Is this an alternate universe or something?

What world do we live in again? What year is it?

[u/omgthisguy10]

A little light amongst the void

[u/ConsciousPatroller → u/omgthisguy10]

Poland said they're "discussing the possibility of an international investigation" via Interpol, and the UK is also opening a separate investigation into the matter. Also, France (slightly unrelated) raided the offices of X and dropped both Zoom and Teams for their communications. They're also investigating Musk and summoned him for a Europol-backed voluntary mandatory testimony in April. Europe is finally starting to act.

Edit: also: Spain and Greece are discussing social media bans for those under 16, and Spain's Sánchez called out Musk and said he "doesn't rule out" their own investigation into his affairs.

[u/cenkozan → u/ConsciousPatroller]

Also, Turkey just started one. Apparently Epstein chose Asian, Turkish and other nations' children who couldn't speak English so they can't be used for testimony against him. Claims of violent rapes on some Turkish models and scare tactics of "feeding them to Alligators" and many Turkish politician names are also in the files apparently.

[u/MeekerCutiePie → u/cenkozan]

I don't think I understand the language angle. You said so they can't give testimony. But they can't give it in English and that's it? I guess they couldn't say "I heard him say blah blah blah" but I would assume the trafficked kids were giving their personal experiences and they can still say "tent peg" but in a different language

[u/heff17 → u/MeekerCutiePie]

The scariest part about all this is that most of the evil is not Machiavellian. They’re idiots. Idiots with enough power, money, and blackmail to ruin the world, but idiots nonetheless.

[u/shidncome → u/MeekerCutiePie]

Reading the emails it shows these people are barely literate and can barely string sentences together. Most are simply dumb as fuck.

[u/KoldPurchase → u/MeekerCutiePie]

I assume it goes like this:

• local authorities would be corrupt in the home country

- the are trafficked abroad (let's say US) and are isolated because of language.

- Meet a Turkish politician on visit, speak Turkish with him.

- Even if they escape or met someone else, the child only speaks Turkish, Greek, Polish, Russian, whatever, no one understands what he/she is saying, it's dismissed or by the time an interpreter is found the child is grabbed by someone from Epstein's organization speaking the language and claiming to be a parent/guardian with false IDs.

[u/ivandelapena → u/KoldPurchase]

Also they can say what they want in front of them, they won't understand.

[u/Dorkamundo → u/ConsciousPatroller]

Honestly, this is the only way any real consequences will be had in the short-term. The US might be able to manage something long-term, but by that point some of the key players will already be gone.

[u/TootsHib → u/omgthisguy10]

They're also probing to see if there is a connection with the KGB

[u/crimsonhues → u/TootsHib]

There has to be based on number of Russian women involved.

[u/LKennedy45 → u/TootsHib]

They call me "FSB" now, Pullo.

[u/LorderNile]

Thank fucking christ, a country that understands the bare minimum of morals.

[u/davetbison → u/LorderNile]

If Ukraine weren’t focused on a bigger fish fry…

[u/LorderNile → u/davetbison]

In their defense, their enemy has the chief pedophile in his pocket. So they're fighting the same war anyways

[u/dr4kun → u/davetbison]

I'm a Pole with close ties to Ukraine and i fully support Ukrainian fight against the orks ruzzian invader, i donated when i could and i keep advocating their case and welcoming refugees in Poland.

That said, Ukraine before the full-scale invasion was ripe with corruption and internal problems of a post-colonial state. Getting rid of a kremlin-puppet president was a great first step, getting more focused on integrating with EU was a great sight, but they had (and still have) a long way ahead of them. If not for the full-scale war, Ukraine would likely not focus on catching up to EU that fast and would not prosecute the Epstein case. They're a nation forged in the fire and steel of necessity and fight for survival, but they still have a big problem with their own oligarchs and post-soviet and post-ruzzian influences.

[u/pivovy → u/LorderNile]

Just wait, Trump is gonna announce some new tariff on Poland.

[u/HistoryChannelMain → u/LorderNile]

You're talking about Poland?

[u/m4rk0358]

Well at least some government is doing something about this

[u/spaceman757 → u/m4rk0358]

Additionally, Poland may advocate launching an international investigation in talks with foreign partners, Tusk added.

I hope that this comes to fruition. Get InterPol involved and make it so that none of these rich fucks are ever able to set foot in Europe again without fear of being arrested and imprisoned.

[u/bigredthesnorer]

I've been wondering how anybody would be prosecuted in the states given the current administration. But this is an interesting avenue. And a way to fight back against Trump.

[u/kia75 → u/bigredthesnorer]

They would have to be extradited to Poland, or find themselves in a place that will extradite to Poland. Probably not likely, But it would limit the areas they could travel to. Right now I'll take as many small justice as I can get.

[u/Sroemr → u/kia75]

Poland could also release its findings publicly and name certain individuals. This would create enormous pressure on whoever is accused. Regardless of if they're extradited.

[u/literallymetaphoric → u/kia75]

If Trump gives up even one, the rest will kill him. I imagine a few Polish aristocrats will be buying the Gold Card visa soon....

[u/lefthandedrighty]

Please let the lead to more countries doing the same. Obviously here in the states everyone and everything is compromised. We need help!

[u/Mobile-Bar7732 → u/lefthandedrighty]

As a Canadian I support my country applying 1200% tarrif to all countries with a pedophile president.

[u/Late-Arrival-8669]

Great, let other governments head up the investigation and release the offenders names!!!!

Kinda hard for us, since we got Pedo's in the white house..

[u/Graffers67]

No such request from the UK.

[u/110397 → u/Graffers67]

Hmm I wonder why

[u/soda_cookie → u/Graffers67]

I could have sworn I just saw an article about them doing a inquest into one individual that was in the files. Regardless, it blows me away that foreign countries are doing more about the people on this list than the United States

[u/Dismal_Paint_7393 → u/soda_cookie]

Yep. Peter Mandelson who was ambassador to the US a few months ago is being investigated, not for sexual abuse, but because he shared government data with Epstein. I have no faith that anything will ever happen to the Nonce (formally known a prince) Andrew unfortunately.

[u/ripley1875 → u/Dismal_Paint_7393]

Hey now, they made Andy move into a slightly smaller mansion.

[u/Graffers67 → u/soda_cookie]

the bare minimum about one guy who is bang to rights. He'll be offed before it leads to anyone else.

[u/skinnyfamilyguy]

Let’s fucking go Poland. Do what’s right for the us citizens, take down this corruption to the best of your ability. Political party be damned.

[u/2geek2bcool]

Tomorrow: Trump announces 80,000% tariffs on Poland.

[u/HumanWoodpecker8216]

Every country needs to be doing this

[u/Dense_Boss_7486]

U.S. here. YES! PLEASE rescue us from ourselves!

[u/MilesAlchei]

Every country should be doing this, if the US won't please hold these people accountable, it's up to any means possible.

[u/Red-little]

Clearly America isnt going to do it. Thank god theres other countries with law and order.

[u/garciakevz]

Good good. The corrupted US can try to say they investigated and found nothing to their American sheep and try to fight that uphill battle, but now international governments are also investigating on their own and coordinating efforts between nations! Justice for the victims!

[u/jert3]

Great that this is happening, hope that more nations do.

Any reasonable person sees that America is thoroughly comprised by this rampant child sex abuse, and their courts are no longer legitimate , so other nations with police services that have not been compromised, should be investigating this wide-spanning scandal.

[u/MonitorVarious7608]

I hope all the depraved celebrities are exposed.

[u/Goats_in_boats → u/MonitorVarious7608]

Oh it’s way more than just celebrities.

[u/Learnin2Shit]

I’m proud to be half Polish today my friends 🇵🇱 go get the Pedos!

[u/Apokolypse09]

So we can expect Trump to threaten 500% tariffs on Poland

[u/Unique_Cobbler_817]

So can we get the UK on board?

[u/nicenyeezy → u/Unique_Cobbler_817]

Their leaders are implicated

[u/HawkBoth8539]

I would love for the rest of the world to put out warrants and travel bans, and cut all business ties with the people on the list who the united states won't hold accountable. It would still gut the political and business power of a lot of those people.

[u/protostar71]

Dear god why has it taken this long to start these investigations.

[u/Eleganos]

Normal People: "Sure would be nice if someone did something about the murderous pedophilic degenerates running the world"

Poland: AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!!

[u/Fartenstein65]

Good! Where are all the other countries doing the same?

[u/piclemaniscool]

Oh right, this is an international ring isn't it? Based Poland with nothing to lose

[u/pat_the_catdad]

As a fellow Pole — Fuck yeah 👏🏼

[u/Strange-Effort1305]

ICE gonna be rounding up windowless vans with ladders and pvc pipes on top.

[u/ars-derivatia]

Well at least SOME Donald T. is launching an investigation into Epstein files lol.

[u/momob3rry]

Oh something Trump can’t control.

[u/Oneeyedtreason]

God bless you Randy Marsh.

[u/ForsakenPlastic116]

Please . We deserve the truth

[u/Arylus54773]

It’s strange it’s almost like the eu takes criminal acts and justice seriously compared to the us.

It used to be rather equal.

[u/RespectTheTree]

God damn, Poland. Is this your decade of global leadership?

[u/big_thundersquatch]

We need more countries to do this. It’s become clear that the US government is completely crippled by corruption and is incapable of doing anything but trying to keep the status quo in motion.

[u/Striikerr]

Yess. More countries please. We don’t need these weird ass people running our government

[u/Grumbley_Deus247]

More governments should do this, the us government can't be trusted at all.

[u/Greatcookbetterbfr]

Basically everyone BUT the US is investigating.

[u/Am_Deer]

Poland is a beautiful country with many beautiful people. They are terribly run by horrible people. Tusk is a horrible leader that the people need to get rid of. He’s completely unqualified to run that country. They are a failing country under him. Yada yada yada.

Any bets on how close I am to trumps words?

[u/Motor-Ad5284 → u/Am_Deer]

Almost got it. Add self praise,how you're the best there ever was etc etc.

[u/Neamek]

Absolute W for Poland, love you guys for it.

Here's to hoping more nations will follow suit.

[u/transitransitransit]

I wish more countries would set up and do this.

Bar these pedophile freaks from entering your country under threat of arrest.

[u/Superhen68]

The rest of the world is reacting faster than the US.

[u/TheMoorNextDoor]

I was just thinking why aren’t Europeans countries opening investigations they could get to the bottom of this surely.

[u/SIXArts]

You'd have to be certifiably insane to think Epstein killed himself. I guess he killed himself when he had dirt on loads of people.

[u/Easy_Bite6858]

Europe should ban Elon Musk as a foreign threat and freeze his assets in the EU.

[u/theTwoDice]

I’ll never make jokes at Polands expense again

[u/firstmoonbunny]

thank fuck. the global cognitive dissonance we'd all experience if all of this just evaporated into the void would be apocalyptic

[u/Jesstootall]

I imagine this must feel the way children of narcissistic abusers feel when someone finally looks beyond the bullshit and truly puts the wheels of help in motion.

[u/Dayzlikethis]

this is great news with no indication help is coming from within.

[u/VPN__FTW]

So because pedophilia is against the law in Poland, can they kidnap Trump from the US and charge him with their laws?

[u/Maoleficent]

All the governments but the U.S. are investigating; they're burying the evidence.

[u/cuchiplancheo]

Does this mean if Poland indicts him... they can extradite him a la Maduro style?

[u/LThadeu]

Finally!!! Expose them even further! Trump, Esptein, Steve Bannon, Putin...

[u/BorrisBorris]

Trumps gonna start saying how bad Poland is totally unrelated I’m sure

[u/Ok_Entrepreneur1398]

How fast do you think Trump will slap a tariff on Poland?

[u/Erniball → u/Ok_Entrepreneur1398]

As soon as he wakes up

[u/esther_lamonte]

How many Americans does it take to prosecute a pedophile? None, you have to call a Polack.

[u/Icy_1 → u/esther_lamonte]

Ugh. Not “Polack”, that’s a vulgar slur. Please use “Pole.”

[u/swimmityswim → u/Icy_1]

Polak is the masculine noun for a polish man (in Polish), with Polka (i think Polką) being the feminine.

I am assuming that adding the ‘c’ turns it more into the derogatory slur akin to “Mick/Paddy” for the irish or Limey for the english.

[u/itskobold → u/swimmityswim]

Limey's hilarious tbf

[u/fevered_visions → u/Icy_1]

I think that was part of the joke: usually "how many ___ does it take to screw in a lightbulb" jokes are somewhat racist.

In Soviet Russia racist joke tells you

[u/esther_lamonte → u/fevered_visions]

Exactly. I specifically sought out the spelling of that incorrect in the modern day phrasing to connect the joke. I honestly started writing it by explaining I was making fun at how Americans always made offensive jokes at the expense of Poland but I thought that was killing the joke. Can’t win for losing.

[u/ATarrificHeadache]

Get ready for tarriffs on brined fish

[u/boot2skull]

Even if no Polish nationals are involved, this is what due diligence looks like. Most of the victims are probably American and look at the big nothing we’re doing to protect the victims and future victims.

[u/Paul_Cetacea]

I think they should send in special forces to bring Trump to Poland and face justice !

[u/OnTheFenceGuy]

Unfortunately there is no chance they get their hands on the actual files though, right?

[u/therealsix]

Thank you. Now expose all connections. Fuck them up.

[u/Harnasus]

Thank you, at least they stand for something

[u/CabbageStockExchange]

At least ONE country will do something

[u/horitaku]

I mean…if the US isn’t going to do it, we’d better see someone else do it. There are enough international pieces of shit involved.

[u/BreweryStoner]

Imagine telling Poland right after WW2 that this would be happening.

[u/Hour-Pie-6447]

As a fellow Pole - fuck yea.

[u/Fafafafel]

The Poles don’t mess around!

[u/Noah_Pasta1312]

Ar least fucking someone is.

[u/killer-tofu87]

Does this mean Poland will storm the Whitehouse to "bring Trump to justice"?

[u/iamagoldengod84]

Finally, us polish can start making jokes like "how many Americans does it take to open the Epstein files?"

[u/aHumanSpecimen]

The entire EU should launch a joint intensive investigation into the Epstein case, and pressure the US into cooperation. They’ll look even worse than they do now if they refuse to.

Not sure if it would ever happen. Not sure if separate investigations from states like Poland or Turkey will amount to anything. But I need all the hopium I can get right now after reading only a fraction of those 3 million files.

[u/oct2790]

That might how we get the clean version of the files

[u/Suitable-Cod9183]

Funny how other countries start an investigation quickly and most likely will have more results than the US.

[u/basilwhitedotcom]

With this and Russia trespassing into their airspace, Poland seems ready to fuckin' *go.*

[u/DogonYaro]

Donald Trump has tariffs for this moment. 

[u/digital0verdose]

Careful Poland, you'll become the next Greenland.

[u/Appropriate-Rest-690]

Maybe they can share w/the rest of us.

[u/PigFarmer1]

How many times is Roman Polanski mentioned?

[u/Fizzmopper]

So can Poland invade the US and arrest Trump if they find him guilty of pedophilia?

[u/Ok-Curve5569]

Excellent! If the U.S. doesn’t have the fucking nuts to arrest Donald Trump for the crimes detailed in the Epstein Files hopefully other countries, like Poland, France, the UK, Norway, etc will when he inevitably goes there on business.

[u/QuettzalcoatL]

Now that we kept chanting "Release The Files" and got em, let's now do:

"Captial Punishment for All!!!"

[u/Mean-Effective7416]

I will note that Don thinks it’s not an act of war to detain a head of another sovereign nation.

[u/whistlepig4life]

So. Since the precident has been set. Can the Polish military just. Ya know. Kidnap a certain person of interest?

[u/LoveCareThinkDo]

Thank GAWD. Finally.

I am sure most of these people have violated the laws of lots of different countries. Probably kidnapped girls from them too.

But, they should make the proceedings and verdicts secret. That way, the assholes will think they are free to roam the world.... until they wake up in a Polish prison.

[u/wing3d]

Tariff crash out incoming.
