Rubber Bullets vs. Stones – Modern Hospitality at the Border.
They climb over the fence, throw stones, attack a border guard — and we apologize for using a rubber bullet? The world has lost its mind. Intruders scream about rights, while those defending the border face blame. Something is deeply wrong.
I was just scrolling through the news and came across an article from Poland: a few Afghans climbed over the fence on the Belarusian border, started throwing stones at border guards, and even attacked one directly. The soldier ended up in the hospital. Just another regular Friday night, right?
And what did the soldier do?
He drew his weapon… and fired.
But wait for it!
It was a rubber bullet!
Oh no. How brutal. What if the poor intruder got a bruise?
And now comes the plot twist:
A wave of solidarity.
With the soldier? Nope.
With the state? Haha, of course not.
With the intruders themselves. Because obviously — they’re the victims, right? Just climbing fences, throwing rocks, assaulting armed personnel… business as usual.
Human Rights Watch
They defend human rights — except for those just doing their jobs.
The border guard? Too bad. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, wearing the wrong uniform.
The Guardian
The British moral authority, always ready to preach, while happily ignoring its own collapsing streets.
A country where gangs rule neighborhoods feels entitled to scold Poland for defending its own border.
Al Jazeera
Truly touching — a TV network from a region where women are still considered semi-property tries to lecture Europe on human rights.

And what about the state?
Some politicians actually stood up for the soldier. Bravo. Applause.
Too bad that’s not considered normal anymore. And that the army feels the need to apologize for firing rubber rounds. Maybe next time, soldiers should be issued teapots and picnic blankets. And signs that say "We Welcome You Kindly!"
Let’s imagine the scene:
The Afghans climb the fence, throw rocks.
The border guard, bleeding, thinks to himself:
"Stay calm, don’t hurt them. What if Human Rights Watch gets upset?"
Then he fires… rubber.
And the reward? Media condemnation and NGO scolding.
I’m just wondering… those rocks they threw… were they ethically sourced? Not too hard, hopefully?
Back in my day…
If you crossed a border and laid a hand on an armed guard, you’d end up in a grave, not in a full-service detention center.
And that was perfectly fine by everyone.
But today?
Today, the aggressor gets a blanket, sympathy, and a lawyer.
And the defender?
He has to apologize for even existing.
In conclusion:
A world where the border guard feels guilty for not being friendly enough,
and the intruder complains the fence was too uncomfortable,
is not a world that protects itself. It’s a world heading for collapse.
And if you think I’m exaggerating... give it a few years.
Someone might knock on your door.
No rubber.
No apology.
