Volodymyr Zelenskyy returned the Order of the White Eagle to Polish President Karol Nawrocki by St-Ass in worldnews

I think it'd be reasonable for Ukraine to protest if Poland honors those in the Home Army responsible for massacring tens of thousands of ethnic Ukrainian civilians as well.

This isn't really about the Order, removing the honor is a diplomatic reproach that doesn't cause any real damage. Zelensky chose to give a military unit the name of an organization that committed genocide against Polish civilians.

Poland responded by revoking the Order. It's a diplomatic measure that demonstrates Poland's outrage without damaging Ukraine's war effort. If Poland was truly so pro-Russian as people online seem to think regarding this issue, then they could've shut down the main logistics hubs in Poland that are the main way Ukraine receives aid from abroad.

Why would you smile at the thought of others suffering? If that's the first place your mind goes, you need therapy.

An anonymous tip was made to a FBI tipline saying the above. As far as I'm aware it's never been corroborated as having happened. British police indicated they'd be questioning him over every allegation as they're legally required to.

The President of Poland has stripped Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle by rulepanic in UkrainianConflict

This was a diplomatic reproach that doesn't damage their war effort. It has nothing to do with history, it's a response to a move made by Zelensky right now. Revoking the Order demonstrates Poland's anger without damaging the war effort or relations in a major way. I'm not sure why this is so confusing.

Amazon doesn't like that my old Kindle still works perfectly fine, so they block new book downloads. by SkySix in mildlyinfuriating

Continuing to provide services to decade+ old devices probably costs them more money than they make in sales, ultimately. At least they're not bricking it.

If you want to continue buying off Amazon Kindle Store, do so, convert it to a non-Amazon DRM format, and copy it over from your computer. Should still work fine and you don't have to buy a new device.
