Life / News on driving in Poland [57]

Luxury Aston Martin crashed into a tractor which was turning left:

"The police determined that the agricultural tractor, which was turning left by a 74-year-old from Nakło Śląskie, was hit by an Aston Martin driven by a 37-year-old from Piekary Śląskie," the police reported.

The officers analyzed the course of the incident, using recordings from nearby surveillance cameras as a support. Ultimately, they determined that both drivers were at fault. "While maneuvering the agricultural tractor, the man did not exercise due caution, and the driver of the passenger car overtook other vehicles, ultimately hitting the turning Ursus," the police reported.

Amasing theories by a Polish expert in international relations. The Chinese will replace Putin sooner or later!

- We can pull the wool over our eyes, talking about the all-powerful Putin, but Russia is ruled by China today. In every aspect, I think - says Dr. Sokała.

- The weaker the ruble becomes, the more power the Chinese gain, mainly in the provinces in the east, but not only because they have hard currency, an argument that is understood in every corner of Russia. They are also the only ones who can guarantee security to the bureaucratic and military apparatus in Russia today. Putin's power will no longer provide this security. And the officials and governors served the regime in Russia solely because they believed in its efficiency. They stopped believing because this regime proved ineffective.

- They are now looking for a new guarantor of security, and that is precisely China. And I would not be surprised if the Chinese already had a plan to replace Putin with a "new model". Not right away, because they started by exchanging loyalty vectors among governors and officials. And they have built or are building a channel of "friendly communication" with the generals of the Russian army. They are striving for the entire bureaucratic apparatus - the machine that actually governs Russia - to recognize that China is a better guarantor of the continuity of their power and their security than the Kremlin. This is precisely what Putin must face, who after the Ukrainian offensive is rapidly losing the trust of both his people and the bureaucratic apparatus - sums up Dr. Sokała.

News / Britain - problem for Poland and Poles? [167]


A problem which Poles/Polesses are able to deal with.

E.g, recently a Pole staged amasing defence against street muggers.

The incident happened last week in broad daylight as Rafał Kalinowski, who has lived in the UK for 10 years and works as a warehouseman , was returning home from work .

The attackers pushed the riding Pole off the road onto the sidewalk so that he fell off his bike, but before they could take it away, Kalinowski pulled out a red self-defense spray can from his backpack, which he usually carries with him. He also began to curse at them in Polish, which further confused the perpetrators.

Thanks to this, the very next day after the case was reported, Kalinowski was summoned to the police station to compare traces of paint on the clothes of those detained with his spray.

News / If Russia liberate Scotland, what would happen with Polish workers in Britain? [60]


Russia can`t liberate Scotland in Ukrainian style coz the UK possesses nukes. Do Russians want to leave their radiation polluted cities and live in the Siberian forests in freezing temps???
