commotiocordisPolish pianist stops show with anti-US tirade
Obama insisted the shield was part of a defensive posture against Iran, not Russia, and that he intended to remove it as soon as the threat from Iran subsided. But many Poles have accused the US of wanting to mount a military occupation of their country, and fear the shield could make them a target of Russian aggression.
Seriously? What do they have that we want? I mean, I can come up with nothing worthwhile in Poland that would make us go to the trouble of mounting a military occupation.
Though go, pianist dude:
Shortly after 9/11, his piano was confiscated by customs officials at New York's JFK airport, who thought the glue smelled funny. They subsequently destroyed the instrument.
Holy shit, I'd be pissed too. That was probably in the hundreds of thousands of dollars we're talking here.
Oh, and the ideological stuff was on, as well. But the piano!
