In summary: the Kremlin trip of Witkoff and the son-in-law-to-everything was preceded by a trip to Moscow by the head of the CIA, during which the USA was supposed to warn Russia not to overdo it, meaning a Trump-style presentation of the stick and the carrot, ended with a Russian overreach and requests from Trump to (translated)

To summarize: the Kremlin's trip by Witkoff and son-in-law Jared was preceded by a trip to Moscow by the head of the CIA, in which the USA was supposed to warn Russia not to go too far, meaning the Trumpian presentation of the stick and carrot, ended with Russian overreach and requests from Trump for Ukraine.

Those who on one hand do not wish for a "flood of Ukrainians" in Poland, and on the other hand wish for Russia's success in the war with Ukraine, should decide what they want, because these two things mutually exclude each other. (translated)

For about 2005 (last year was a round anniversary, two decades) I have been forced by the political situation to take seriously people who espouse extremely idiotic views, whether religious, conspiratorial, or simply anti-intellectual. And if the situation... (translated)

One of your main generals is a neonazi. - And you have Braun, Confederation, etc.! - But I'm not defending them 🤷‍♂️ (translated)

It's a pity that Ukrainian identity is increasingly associated with right-wing sentiments. I thought that over time this would somehow start to dissolve, but instead, it is hardening. On one hand, Putin has integrated Ukrainians; yes, he has made this nation stronger and definitively separated it from Russia. (translated)

It's a terrible shame that Ukrainian identity is increasingly associated with right-wing politics. I thought this would somehow fade over time, but it is hardening. On one hand, Putin has integrated Ukrainians; indeed, he has made this nation mature and definitively detach from Russia. (translated)

So theoretically, as they say, it's an intellectual game: maybe instead of waiting for a Russian false flag operation against NATO using Ukrainian drones, some unknown perpetrators could carry out a very broad attack on key segments of Russia. (translated)

Maybe instead of waiting for a Russian false flag operation directed against NATO using Ukrainian drones, some unknown perpetrators could carry out a very wide-ranging attack on key segments of Russian critical infrastructure using drones with Belarusian symbols? Or (translated)

This is very interesting how this is changing. Until now, if you were tinkering with the construction of nationalism, an ethnic state, and were understanding of the needs of neighbors, you were seen by the right as a leftist without honor, a scoundrel without principles, and a traitor to Polishness. Now, when Russia attacked... (translated)

This is no longer democracy. An irresponsible, lying, quarrelsome politician who starts wars without a plan and conflicts without a purpose, who harms his country and the world and wants to stay afloat by buying votes. And the system can't do anything about it. It was not created for this. (translated)

Braun says that today, "under Brussels," Poland is not sovereign and is threatened by war. Aha. Because in a world without Brussels, NATO, and the EU, between imperialist Russia and pro-Russian, relativizing World War II Germany, there will be a sovereign and safe Poland :) Just like in 1939. And 10% of Poles. (translated)

For those who claim that "Ukraine is an artificial state," because "this state only created Ukrainians" (regardless of whether this is true or not, and it is not true, it has at most very much expanded the concept of the nation to those who were not necessarily Ukrainians before) (translated)

Poles were asked whether Poland should help the Baltic states if they are attacked. Definitely yes - 47.5%. Rather yes - 30.3%. Rather no - 9.8%. Definitely not - 6.3%. I don't know / it's hard to say - 6.1%. (translated)

If this is true, it looks like Russia will want to obtain the rest of Donbas in exchange for renouncing claims to the parts of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions occupied by itself. Who knows, maybe Zelensky will be forced to go for this deal. (translated)

We have not yet had an independent and significant Ukraine as a geopolitical neighbor. We do not have experience with it. It would be good to have someone like the Hungarians historically were for us, and not someone like Russia. And Hungary was our ally, or at least favorable. (translated)

The Calhoun experiment, or Universe 25, involved confining 4 pairs of mice in a cage with unlimited food and no threats. The researcher wanted to test the effects of overpopulation in conditions of utopian prosperity. The effect: the population completely. Due to congestion, the social structure collapsed. (translated)

We are living longer. The average life expectancy in the world was about 32 years in 1900; in 2021 it exceeded 70. And it is not just a statistical effect of saving infants — mortality has decreased practically in all age groups. Wars are (translated)

In our broadcast "Ruritania", which we conduct together with Marta Szostkiewicz on @RadioKrakow, we talk this time about what Russia might be planning and what the head of the CIA wanted to dissuade it from during a mysterious visit to Moscow. (translated)

How good it is that we are no longer between Germany and Russia, but that Russia is between NATO and Japan. (translated)
