News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 20 [1576]

Trump makes a deal with Ukraine, and then the inteligence sharing starts back up immediately. See how that works? Now, Vlad will get a chance to look at the terms and he will either agree, negotiate a little, or not agree. Just as I predicted. Now if Vlad agrees, we have a cease fire, and the war ends pretty quickly after that. Same with a little negotiation on his part. But if he disagrees, then I suspect Trump will load Ukraine with so many missiles that Russians will not be able to withstand the pressure on the front lines, and Trump will completely cut Russia off by imposing sanctions on other countries that do business with Russia, not more sanctions on Russia. This is the exact way to pressure people who only understand pressure.

Vlad knows the time to end this war is now. He wont look good ignoring a cease fire agreement. His own soldiers will start to question his leadership, and every Russian person will start to question things. Russia needs an out, almost as much as Ukraine needs one. Again, this thing is over by the end of June.

I agree, and expect orders for US weapons to decline. But, every NATO country would have to completely re-arm itself to get rid of US made weapons, and this would take decades. It might happen, but it is a long time off, and by then this war will be a distant memory.

@Korvinus
Of course, every government has some mob flavor to it. Biden's sure did with all the mass firings over vaccine refusals, and the censorship to name two. Plenty of that mob mentality in the UK with its censorship, and arresting people for saying things others disagree with. Taxation itself in many countries is a mob like scheme of paying for protection.

Catching up on the arguments presented by people each morning really is quite facinating. On one side you have arguments from rational people trying to make rational and well thought out points, and on the other side you have irrational emotional name calling. Calling Putin, Trump or Russia names just makes the arguments trying to be made laughable. Can Putin be Trusted? No. Can Trump? No. Can Zelensky? No. No politician or leader of a country can be trusted, and none should be. Will Putin and Trump make a deal? More than likely. Will zelensky accept the deal? More than likely. Will Russia at some point break the deal? Who knows. The bottom line is the dying needs to end. A deal is the only thing that makes it happen. And it doesnt matter if anyone here on PF or in the EU likes the deal because Ukraine is not part of NATO or the EU.

If your host is rude, or dresses poorly that does not relieve the guest from his obligation to not be rude, or dress inappropriately. Z is a rude beggar who said in the White House that soon America would feel pain. To that he should be told to fvck off, get out and you are cut off. Same I would do to anyone coming into my office asking for money or anything else.

Now imagine at these meetings that Ukraine says yes to the mineral deal, and yes to elections once there is a cease fire. Trump calls up Vlad and tells him the news. Vlad accepts the deal and negotiations begin. Or Vlad doesnt accept the deal and Trump says ok, now Ukraine will get their intelligence back and all the missles they will need to decimate your men on the front lines. Imagine the bloodbath and imagine how Putin then looks to his own people. Or imagine Ukraine says no to the deal, and then Russia continues the slaughter in Kursk and across the front lines. Ukraine would eventually collapse.

The thought of the EU being able to build up production of items needs for self defense is pretty funny. Poland with all the empty factories and buildings in this country just ordered more tanks from South Korea. We have had three years to develop a tank factory, and nothing.

Elon Musk is not the American government. He owns Starlink. Anyone thinking he cares about 50 million from Poland cent see that being the richest man on earth or one of the richest, gives him the ability to not gaf.

Now Trumps demands are becoming clearer. No more money or weapons until the mineral deal is done, elections are agreed to, or Z steps down. That is called democracy for all the democracy defenders. Free elections, nearly a year over due will either be a part of the deal, or Ukraine will be on its own. Given the developments in Kursk with Russia surrounding Ukraine, Ukraine cannot survive without the US intelligence, money and weapons. Looking pretty good for thei war to be over by the end of June as I predicted.

I do business in Canada every day. The CAD is down 20% on USD since May of 2021. Canadian inflation makes it much much worse because their PM is a fvcking idiot.

@mafketis
Trumps job is to give Americans what they want, and they want an end to the war and to stop financing it. If Russia gets anything out of it Americans dont care because it wont effect them.

Now our brilliant Minister Sikorski had to get in a spat with Musk and Rubio and be told where to fall in line. If he think Musk gaves one fvck about what Poland pays for Starlink in Ukraine then he understands how Musk thinks about as much as how PF Poles understand Americans. Stupid people with mouths should learn when to keep them closed. An I liked this guy too until he showed his lack of intelligence.

Ok fvcktard, I have an office in Canada, and the Candian dollar is garbage. The Canadian dollar is down more than 20% on the USD since Biden took office. You are the one who has not only been wrong about everything but will be proven wrong about whats to come. Dislike the US all you want but dont ask them to protect you any more. You are the perfect example of why the US should say fvck the EU.

Sanctions havent done anything with the Russian shadow oil fleet selling billions every month and the EU buying refined oil and gas from India that came from Russia. Russia is a gas station and always will be. The EU will never give up on low prices for Ukraine that isnt even a member of the EU.

When the US has a strong president, Trump, Bush and others, Russia has always played ball. With weak presidents, Biden and Obama, Russia takes advantage of weakness.

@pawian
Do you even read what you write? Seriously. Russians are vacationing in Turkey and Cypress just like before. They are coming to Europe by way of Turkey, still shopping and doing what ever they want. If you think that Europe sanctioning Russia without US sanctions is going to hurt Russia you really have your eyes closed. Russian Visa's are being processed every day, so all the hurt Russia talk makes no sense.

Russia can break any deal it doesn't like. Just as the US broke the deal not to expand NATO.

But lets just ignore that little historical fact and lets wait for the "if" Russia breaks the next deal.

And you just $hit the bed. The war did not start until after Biden took office. The American people did not vote him in to support Ukraine because the support wasnt even needed at the time. Get your timeline straight. The American people voted Biden in because Trump was too strong. Then they voted Biden out when he was not only too weak but had dementia.

@Torq
Money and weapons dictate the peace talks and the US has both. Ukraine will do what it is told, or they will disappear. Russia will make a deal or their economy could actually collapse.

@cms neuf
There is no one in US business other than car makers that are afraid of any trade war. Canada put tariffs on US goods when the Canadian dollar is worth about a fart, and is squeezing its own people.

Of course Ukraine has the right to self defense. I agree and support that right. The key word is "self". Note it does not say Ukraine has the right to US defense, weapons and an endless supply of cash.

@cms neuf
Canada will always side with the US, this little trade spat will be worked out shortly because Canada cant win. Japan is not going anywhere either, Honda just stopped plans for a car plant in Mexico to announce one in Indiana. Korea? They cant afford to lose the US car market or military, not going anywhere. Europe? They should have been on their own 30 years ago. And what about the decades of EU countries not making the required payments to NATO?

The American people did not agree to support Ukraine. Biden with obvious dementia agreed to it. Trump ran on and won the popular vote in part because he wants to end the war. Thats what the American people want, and they dont care what Europe thinks. You and others like you calling Trump names, calling Russia names and saying the US will be weaker are just more of the blue haired democrats who were sreaming into the abys in the last election. The woke globalist agenda is dead, unfortunately it has left some zombies still screaming until they find a new agenda to jump on with their verbal activism.

Whats funny is that all the lefties who support Ukraine continuing to fight are upset that the US wants no part of it. Yet at the same time they want to make up names and call people names in the US if they dont continue supporting the dying. And the same people who want the US to continue to fund the death machine want the US out of Europe now, when its been the US who has protected Europe for nearly 80 years while Europe was asleep at the wheel and not spending its agreed money on NATO.

Meanwhile at meetings this week, the US will dictate the peace terms or Russia could sweep through Ukraine and end up on the Polish border. Its better for Poland and Europe to get a peace deal done, yet the lefties dont want it. Brilliant.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 14 [563]

Your economy doesn't seem to be loving all that unpredictability though.

Any stock fluctuations or small increases in inflation mean nothing to most Americans. Most Americans do not invest in stocks because they cant afford to. They cant afford to buy homes. The United States is not the pretty picture that Hollywood presented to Europe and that many Poles still believe is real life. And if you think wealthy people gavie a $hit about dips in the market or small inflation, then you dont understand truly wealthy people. The middle class in America has been squeezed and reduced to a point that they are the ones who suffer, only there isnt many of them now. Because of policies of the past, America is the land of the haves and have nots. This is what Trump is trying to fix. Europeans will never understand the reasoning behind Trumps mandate.

@Paulina
As an update on the Ukraine demonstrators in Krakow, last night they were back in a smaller number. This time protected by about a dozen police officers with three vans of backup officers parked on the street. While I didnt witness any Poles saying anything, I did ask the bartender I know well and he said it was out of control the night before and that old women and others were telling the Ukraine demonstrators to go home and did throw some things at them.

@Ironside
The majority of people on PF who either dont live in the US, or have not lived in the US the majority of their lives do not know how most Americans think. I dont preseume to understand how Poles think either. There are tremendous differences in values, expressions, and other items that make my understanding Poles as well as another Pole almost impossible. The same goes for Poles understanding Americans. I think it all starts with language and speech. Americans are very direct, Poles are more polite and take more time to ensure that speech is more formal. My direct communication style does not go well with Poles, and honestly I dont care, and thats going to be something most Americans will be comfortable with. Poles on the other hand from an American point of view, slow communication down with too much political correctness or politeness. The United States is not the land of political correct speech, and it is not a place where endless meetings are held, and endless documents must be presented and stamped and stored. Americans want decisions, good or bad, but decisions, and directness. Americans feel no obligation to anyone other than their families. This can be seen in how they handle Canada and Mexico. Europe has benefited from Americans lack of unique identity because the United States is a land of immigrants. As my screen name represents, Americans look for something to connect them to the "old country" and neighborhoods in many communities are still formed in this way. Europeans couldnt understand this because their identities are firmly rooted in thousands of years of history. Thats the basic point of view, though I could go on for a long time.

Meanwhile, Trump now talking about essentially shuting Russia out of all banking if they do not come to the table with serious proposals next week. He says he has information as to why Russia needs to end the war. What it is, no one knows.

My wife showed me a video on facebook of the standoff. I am heading to Rynek in a few, so I will see if they are still there.

I know whats going on better than most. I work in Europe and the US, own property in Poland and the US, and pay taxes in both. People here on PF really do not understand Americans at all. You think you do, but you dont know how we think. The idea that a president who was tossed out of the election by his own party, and then his VP got her a$$ kicked, is an endorsement by the American people to fund Ukraine is simply a joke. No Americans want more forever wars, and we are tired of paying for all the worlds policing. Time to clean up the mess at home thats been created with this globalist agenda.

@cms neuf
This is where I dont think you understand Americans. The American people did not, not once, promise to stand by Ukraine forever. In fact, as soon as Biden made these statements his ratings went in the toilet. I believe as someone who has concerns in both countries, that if Z would have been a little more polite and ask a little less of the American people that he would have gotten more support and more sympathy. As an American he rubs me the wrong way and he has a poor attitude. I completely disagree with how he has run his country for the last 2.5 years.

@Korvinus
Trump has not betrayed Ukraine, he has kept the faith with the American citizens who want out of the war. They is the only people he needs to be concerned with. You dont have to like him, but you have to respect that he is keeping his promises. Trump doesnt want to leave Europe, he just doesnt want the US to be the main protector of Europe. Even Tusk said that the EU with 500 million people asking the US with 350 million people to protect it from Russia with 140 million people is not even reasonable. And Tusk is an EU mouthpiece.

But for argument sake, say the US does leave the EU. Who does it effect? Not the US. The EU will still want to trade. Does the EU want to invite China (communism) into the EU in any way? I dont think so. Remember that 90% of Americans will never leave the United States, and less than 5% will ever travel to Europe. The 5% that do come will still come because they can afford it, the rest will go to Mexico. People forget the US is a very big country with different climates, and lots of things to see. I can see most of Poland in two weeks, you cant even cover the north east effectively in two weeks in the US.

Not for you to decide!!!

Correct. It would have happened under PiS if it was going to happen in my opinion. I dont see Poland developing a nuke on their own for one big reason. There is no place to test it. There is also a lack of Uranium due to USSR taking almost everything in the 40's and 50's for their own nukes. Dont underestimate the US loyalty to Poland. As fvcked up as the US is on a lot of things, Poland has always been respected, and the number of Americans with Polish ancestry is pretty large. The Solidarity movement was a serious thing in the US when it came about, and no one born in that time would ever be ok with the US not protecting Poland. That is the largest voting block in the country and the group with the most wealth.

All the name calling continues here while Ukraine will meet with the US next week in Saudi Arabia. Z knows he fvcked up, and now he will do a deal. All the tough talk from the EU is pretty pointless because it will take years for the EU to put together armies and munitions for another war. France's nukes wont be protecting Europe they will continue to protect France only. The UK nukes wont protect Europe either so that reason and they only have a few hundred on submarines.

The US and Russia will come to some agreements and everyone else will fall in line or get told to FO. Poland is playing this game pretty well. Duda is keeping Poland in Trumps good graces, and Tusk has said its crazy for Europe to ask the US to defend Europe. Common sense with facts, not feelings.

PF can be operated in a new format with modern hosting and software for about $40 US per month. If you have the right hosting and software that updates itself, it is minimal effort to maintain. The only issue is migrating all the old posts and topics to new software, not all if any will likely transfer. This is a data driven site, and the import functions on new software may not work with this. Hosting contracts with the right companies are monthly at best and annually at worst. Moderators should be volunteer, and noe should have access to any persons identifying information. PF has a long way to go to meet higher standards in many respects.

Poland didn't follow Fauci's advice

You have no idea. Nearly word for word, and with nearly identical timing both health ministers repeated Fauci, and duplicated the US actions concerning COVID. Every country was following the US lead on it. It is after all where the vaccine funding, and two of the three vaccines came from. The CDC and WHO followed nearly everything Fauci put into the public that was absolute bvllshit. Social distancing, masks, no socializing in groups, wearing masks outisde are just examples of things Fauci made up on his own with no science to back him that the world followed. He has even admitted these things now. I hope he gets charged in every State and country possible.

Fauci was the worlds most outspoken lockdown and vaccine proponent. He is the one person that every other country, outside of Sweden, followed advice from. He was profiting off of every word he spoke. He lied every day. More people died from being treated improperly in the hospitals than did from covid. Remember the discovery that laying people on their backs while on a ventilator was what was killing them? All the testing that we all had to pay for was a scam. People lost their jobs because they wouldnt get vacinated. Trump just restored military people to their positions who lost their jobs because they wouldnt get the experimental vaccine. This isnt some small thing that should be forgotten or pushed under the rug.

Lets be clear. Trump did NOT create the vaccines. He fast tracked them, and nothing more. The Lockdown under Trump was based on the guidance of FAUCI, the WHO and CDC. All of whom had no science backing any of their fvcked up claims. All Fauci and the others had were "ideas", nothing based on testing or scientific fact. Fauci and the others all lied when saying the vaccines would keep you from getting covid, then it was reduced to keep you from getting really bad covid, then it went to keep you from dying, then it went to it wont keep you from spreacding, getting infected, or dying. It was all a fvcking joke and Fauci and the others profited from it. Anyone supporting any of these people of organizations now is a fvcking moron.

If you spent 2 weeks in Canada you dont understand Canadians. 4 years in the US does not make you an expert either. Like I am not an expert on Poland after six years. Do you know how many Canadians already own property in the US? How many Americans own Canadian property? These two countries could easily merge, and Canadians would be a lot better off for it. Canadians get destroyed on the exchange rates, pay much higher taxes, and have much higher inflation. Put it to a vote, and it wouold be pretty close. 5K in crypto is a lot more than I expected from you. I have been trading crypto for years, trading is different than holding or investing.
