News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [252]

They started some time ago already.

What? Talking about it? They sure can talk. In reality, they are doing nothing or at best very little.

That's where allies can come in handy for the time being.

The problem is that those allies do not have a solution to dornes at hand. We would have to ask Ukrainians. The US is in the process of testing prototypes.

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [252]

And what do we have allies for?

Who expects us to be capable and able to hold our own, at the very least, able to deal with a few drones? After all, we are the first line of NATO, next to the war, and that war has been conducted for over three years. There was plenty of time for all necessary arrangements and preparations.
Allies are there to support; expecting that they will come to the rescue is incorrect thinking.

What needs to be done. What should have been done a long time ago: Prepare proper anti-drone defences, which means organization and people. There is no point in discussing it further. How to respond. Send a few drones over Kaliningrad airspace and one drone halfway to Minsk. A one in Belarus, not that one in Mazowieckie.

Also, get rid of the Russian asset in the Polish govermnat.

I would also add that this was to be expected. I didn't talk about it much, but I believe I made my position clear on PF a long time ago. Supporting Ukraine in the war with Russia will inevitably lead to escalation and retaliation from Russia. It is so obvious and simple, and yet those in charge are focusing on trivial matters rather than doing their jobs. Extreme incompetence is equivalent to diversion, sabotage, and betrayal-they should be kicked out very soon.

An optimal course of action would be to take over Kaliningrad and dismantle the regime in Minsk using so-called little green men.

That would be the best option. Unfortunately, both the politicians and the organizations responsible, as well as the functions of Polish services that should be able to carry it out, are not up to par with what is needed. I believe keeping those incompetent dimwits in charge endangers the entire Republic, and it is simply unacceptable. Enough is enough.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1442]

Socialism doesn't have to be 'GDR' style.

Socialism, in any form, is a scourge on society and stifles growth. Whether in the long term or short term, socialism leads to disaster. Once its resources are depleted, it often resorts to totalitarianism. Whoever advocates for socialism is a misguided individual with delusions of grandeur.

I have a more plausible explanation. Since you alienated almost everyone here, no one wants to talk to you. They are especially bored with your never-ending questions. You are not Socrates.

It doesn't work as you think it does. Don't try it at home. Look, if you are stupid you are stupid. I can't help you. Nobody can. The only remedy is to know your place; there is some wisdom in that.

News / Trump and Nawrocki [23]

Here are some highlights from the Polish perspective:

Trump is bluffing.
He wants something for very little or nothing.
The only security for Poland can be achieved by Poland, by making Poland stronger with the support of some close allies. Expecting others to carry our security substantially is folly. Je suis bouleversée de la profondeur des Polish expectations, hopes and naivité.

How did Austria manage to stay safe

It is a hilly, small country in Europe nobody gives a F about. Away from major geopolitical strife.
All those domestic geniuses with their homespun philosophy tend to overlook the obvious, Poland's geopolitical place in the world./

Within their pack...their group....their nation, yes!

There will be a lot of fighting for scarce resources.

I doubt it. It is a British obsession, dating back to Malthus, who, in his time, estimated the population of the islands to be about four million people, whereas now it is approximately 60 million.

Hard to know why he did it.

Simply, it must be a relative of Count 'Buc' Komorowski.

You can find all kinds of Twitter. It's irrelevant; the point is that Ukrainian politicians are incompetent. They can't handle such an easy job as a relationship with Poland. Nawrocki has done something that should have been done from the start.

Wondering why not "Wesley."

Probably, he doesn't know such a name exists, or it sounds too close to 'weasel' for his comfort.

Thanks for the confirmation. If you say something, the opposite is the truth.
