LOAD OF ANTI-TANK MINES MISTAKENLY LEFT AT IKEA WAREHOUSE

A Polish general was fired last week after misplacing 1,000 tons of anti-tank mines that were later found in an IKEA warehouse. In June 2024, a train carrying more than 1,000 tons of explosives was traveling around the country making deliveries, and at one point the anti-tank mines were eventually offloaded in the IKEA warehouse. Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. Artur Kępczyński kept the mishap from his superiors while falsifying supply reports. It all worked fine – until an IKEA warehouse worker called military officials and inquired about “when they would collect their mines.”
* Was this the same IKEA worker who told the train people “Sure, I’ll sign for those. Put ’em in the back.”?
* IKEA did promise to provide assembly instructions and an Allen wrench.
* One slip and everybody in the IKEA warehouse would have turned into a Swedish meatball.
* Poland… tons of anti-tank mines… It’s been 85 years – are they still nervous about being invaded?
* In the meantime, there’s a Polish platoon somewhere trying to assemble a trainload of designer bookshelves.
