It is worth recalling Ceferin's words from April 2023: I cannot comment on the Negreira case directly for two reasons: first, because we have an independent disciplinary committee for that, and second, because I have not dealt with this matter in detail. However, I can say that it is one of the most serious things I have seen in football. I have been informed, and the situation is extremely serious. At the level of the Spanish league, the case has obviously expired and cannot have sporting consequences, but as far as UEFA is concerned, nothing has expired. (translated)

„Znając historię Polski to powinno być oczywiste dla wszystkich, że powinniśmy mieć wypracowaną w konsensusie społecznym, jakąś formę powszechnego przeszkolenia wojskowego.

The park ranger shot at the car in which a couple was sitting, the media thunder. However, there is also a second, much less publicized version of events in this story. According to Kampinos National Park, park rangers were on duty in a two-person patrol and were driving a marked vehicle. They intervened with a car that was in an area where private vehicles were not allowed. The park ranger's report states that the driver did not comply with issued orders and then suddenly accelerated the car towards the ranger, nearly hitting him. Only then did the ranger fire a shot aimed downwards. The bullet damaged the vehicle's radiator. This is significant because park rangers do not carry weapons "for decoration." They have legal authority to use it, and one of the legally provided cases is the necessity to stop a vehicle whose actions threaten the life or health of the officer or another person. Kampinos National Park has filed a notice in this matter concerning the suspicion of active assault on an officer. The ranger himself has many years of experience, appropriate training, and qualifications required to carry a weapon. Of course, it is ultimately the prosecutor who will determine which version of events corresponds to the actual course of the intervention and whether the use of the weapon was correct. However, it is worth remembering these circumstances before turning the ranger protecting the park into a person who "shot at tourists" for no reason. We wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that they simply wanted to flee to avoid responsibility for driving into the woods, and encountered a ranger who knows his rights and performed his duties excellently.

We have the ability to overinterpret. The Tu-95MS disaster caused a lot of speculation. Meanwhile, there is no point in speculating. We shouldn't attribute any intentions to people suggesting things, as legends then circulate. Operational commander, Maj. Gen. pilot Ireneusz Nowak, sarcastically wrote that "Perhaps this particular one was the carrier of the Ch-101, which ended its flight near Tarnawa!" Just that, and that is enough. I am lucky to personally know General Nowak; he is from the old guard of the F-16, people trained in the USA, pilots often retrained by veterans of American military actions, mentally shaped as "tactical minded." Among this group were the first base commanders, division generals Darek Malinowski and Czarek Wiśniewski, along with Jacek Pszczoła, also a division general, a laid-back person who cannot be ruffled, and at the door of his office in Łask, there was at one time a sticker with a large wasp. They are exceptionally competent people, calm but capable of making quick decisions and unafraid of the responsibility for them. Another characteristic feature is truly outstanding intelligence. Why am I writing about this? Because people at this intellectual level often fall into the trap that what is clear and obvious to them is incomprehensible to others, and their minds drift into fascinating directions, to places that make one’s hair stand on end, wondering how it is even possible. That was the case this time as well. The flood of comments is overwhelming; personally, I was stunned. Scholars of the holy scripture wrote that the general suggests it was Polish saboteurs from Kedyw-bis. What can drop on a person's head, drops (in my case, my jaw, both hands, and the other leg). Maj. Gen. Ireneusz Nowak DOES NOT SUGGEST ANYTHING LIKE THAT. This is a gross overinterpretation. He only wrote that it may have been this Tu-95MS that fired the Ch-101 missile, which landed in Poland, as established as a result of deliberate action, not a mistake (such an impact point was in the navigational system’s memory, the only chance for a mistake being incorrect input of coordinates, which is very unlikely). Additionally, the missile did perform a classic "bump" with a vertical attack, driving into the ground almost at a right angle to it, executing the attack at the programmed location. Since the Tu-95MS belonging to the 22nd Guards Donbas Heavy Bomber Division from Engels (now Olenia) and to the 326th Tarnopol Heavy Bomber Division from Ukraine rotate to Engels or, less frequently, to Akhtubinsk to fire the Ch-101 at Ukraine for several hours, it is theoretically possible that this aircraft launched that missile (about 1 in 40 odds, as there are that many of them). What Maj. Gen. Ireneusz Nowak REALLY suggested, Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, somewhat more directly stated. The experienced politician knows that you have to lay it on the line for the simpletons because they will twist everything. They will make things up, add remarks, and generally go off in the wrong direction. Mark Rutte said several really important things: "Vladimir Putin knows he can never win against NATO; NATO is so strong that Russia has no chance of overcoming it." What does this mean? That NATO MUST BE UNITARY. WE MUST NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE DIVIDED. He added: "NATO will defend every square kilometer of its territory. There is no doubt about it, and Putin knows this (...) If anything happens, we are ready to respond." “Well, first, about the word 'hybrid' – I have said this many times already. It sounds a bit too mild, almost cozy. In reality, we are talking about aggressive tactics in the gray zone. What we are dealing with is hostile drones, acts of diversion, sabotage, and even massive cyberattacks." "But I want to make it clear: we have all the response options we need. You will not always see them publicly. They will not always be symmetrical. It will not always operate on a 'tit for tat' basis, but I assure you that we have the tools for effective response, and the Russians know this perfectly well." THIS IS KEY. NATO IS NOT PASSIVE. NATO has many different tools for hybrid responses to Russia's hybrid attacks. And if Maj. Gen. Nowak suggested anything, IT WAS JUST THAT. You just need to understand it, know the context, listen to the statements of leading NATO politicians, and everything will become clear. And further Mark Rutte: “I do not claim that these malicious actions in the gray zone do not affect us. They do affect us, and sometimes it is very evident. However, our response can be multidimensional. Let’s look at the past. When, at the end of 2025, an underwater cable between Finland and Estonia was damaged, we launched Operation Baltic Sentry to protect our critical dilatory infrastructure. This was an example of a symmetrical response. But what happens next is asymmetric actions. More and more allies, such as Sweden, the United Kingdom, Belgium, or France, are taking coordinated steps to maximize the disruption of the Russian 'shadow fleet'. We are doing everything to make those rusted tankers stop generating the profits the Kremlin uses to fund its war machine." "Yesterday, the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (SACEUR) stated plainly: 'Whenever you are able, when you are almost certain that the Russians stand behind an attack, publicly assign them the blame.' Just like Estonia did today. I fully support this and encourage it. Share all intelligence information with NATO and SHAPE structures. Russia continues its reckless campaign of hostile actions against NATO, trying to weaken our resolve and force us to stop supporting Kyiv. But it is failing. Our message to Moscow is clear: in response to any actions in the gray zone, we will do even more for Ukraine, not less. Because ultimately their only goal is to divide us so we lose focus and start arguing among ourselves." NATO is responding. NATO is providing Ukraine with a lot of ammunition. And Ukraine sends it further, to where it needs to land with a bang. NATO makes it harder for the shadow fleet to operate. It combats Russian spy networks; since the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022, NATO member states have expelled around 750 Russian diplomats: Bulgaria 83, Germany 80, Romania 52, Poland 45, France 40. How many "one-time saboteurs" are recruited in Russia for pennies remains a sweet mystery. But there, strangely enough, many different failures occur: trains derail, various things catch fire, blackouts appear, etc. Much of this is done by Ukrainians, but is it all? Who knows, who knows... Today, such saboteurs are rented online for pennies, massively, like cheap drones. They do it, and can we? And how do you know that there are no other intrigues? For example, discreet info in Kremlin circles that one is conspiring against another. Therefore, NATO has tools and can respond, which it is doing. Mainly in the field of cyberattacks that Russia is feeling. As for the Tu-95MS itself - if three engines go out at once, assuming it is true, in most cases it is due to fuel issues, either a break in fuel supply to the engines or fuel contamination, blocked filters, etc. Ukraine has seriously damaged the refineries producing aviation fuel. Often this production has been taken over by other refineries when technically possible. You can easily guess the quality of this fuel. So there could have been "not enough kerosene in the kerosene." Another issue is that the intensive use, these long hours of flights from Ukraine or Olenia to Engels, suspending missiles, and flying to launch over the Caspian Sea (if something goes wrong, the missile falls into the water), and then returning to the home base is about resources, resources, resources... Old bombers and their engines are wearing out at an accelerated pace. How do you think maintenance, spare parts, and technical servicing levels are? Well, exactly, the Russian bomber fleet is systematically degrading, and this can only be pleasing. Because we don't need those bombers for anything. In the picture, a "noisy cricket," the Tu-95MS, code-named "Bear" by NATO. Phot.

If someone has the time and willingness to read - I encourage you. If not, that's fine too - there are plenty of other interesting things to dedicate that time to. We do not expect logical actions or coherent interpretations of the regulations, but we have decided to once again demonstrate how flawed the licensing regulations are. Of course, we know these regulations well ourselves and have many ideas on how to use them efficiently, or even circumvent them. But, dear friends, in all of this, the most important thing is the intentions. Winning is one thing, but beating someone is another. The latter does not give any long-term satisfaction. (translated)

The sequel to the comedy: Donald Trump announced "Great triumph: after 12 years, Americans are withdrawing from Iraq." This is an obvious triumph for Iran, 1/3 of Iraq is controlled by Shia militias. Americans abandoned the Kurds in Syria back in 2019. It's worth it for Polish "politicians" to occasionally remember this. (translated)

A fatal idea was to even get involved in the KPO - the decision of Mr. Morawiecki and of course also Mr. Kaczyński. The program is ENTIRELY funded by a loan, and the annex to the KPO is full of scandalous conditions and milestones agreed upon in mysterious circumstances, which continue to have repercussions to this day. For example, hastily made general plans that unexpectedly deprive hundreds of thousands of people of the possibility to build on their own land, that's the KPO. A disastrous PIP reform - KPO. Clean transport zones - KPO. And one could go on like this. Let us not forget that all of this is the doing of PiS and Mr. @MorawieckiM. (translated)

One ends his career with the national team, winning the World Championship and at the age of 39, he almost single-handedly led Argentina to the World Cup final. The second, at the age of 41, runs away from the training camp because they put him on the bench after a poor match. And this is the best summary of this rivalry. I recommend opening your eyes.

Mr. Wójcik, I think you are adding too much to a single court ruling. Firstly – we do not yet know the full written justification. From public reports, it appears that the court at this stage did not notice any fear of tampering and deemed the issuance of a travel ban appropriate. That is not the same as erasing the entire procedural history of Mr. Romanowski. Secondly – you are contrasting the explanation of the case with the position of the prosecutor's office. However, the prosecutor's office is currently conducting proceedings to clarify this matter. The dispute is not about whether to clarify it, but under what conditions the suspect should participate in the proceedings 🤔 And finally – can we really say today without any qualification that there is no fear of hiding, aside from the wanted list, the EAW, the many months spent outside Poland, and the current course of the proceedings? In my opinion, no, of course, the court may conclude that the grounds currently look different. That is the court's role. But that does not yet support your narrative that the court wants to clarify the matter, while the prosecution merely wants to chase. The prosecution is pursuing the suspect precisely so that the proceedings can be conducted and the matter clarified 🤷‍♂️ Do you really not see a problem with the logic here? (translated)

Seven years ago, my Father left this world. For many, he was primarily one of the most important figures of the independence opposition, the founder and chairman of Fighting Solidarity, and the senior marshal of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland in its eighth term. For me, of course, he was above all a beloved Father. One of the closest people to me, who—when I was thirteen years old—the communist regime took away from me, forcing him to hide, then keeping him in prison, sentencing him to exile. From the age of thirteen to twenty, I only had contact with my Father through correspondence, and later through prison bars. Both before and after those most difficult years, he taught me a great deal, although we also often debated. It does not change the fact that he was always an authority and a Hero to me. The more time passes since his death, the more I realize how much I owe him. And how much Poland owes him as well. And also how often he was completely right about a multitude of Polish matters... In how much and how urgently we need to do for Poland. Dear Dad! I know very well what you expect from me and what you would like to hear from me. That’s why I swear to you that as long as I live, I will give absolutely everything of myself to realize your dreams and plans. Plans aimed at building the strength, position, prestige, security, and happiness of our beloved Fatherland and friendship between nations. (translated)

"AI Constitution". It's worth immediately dispelling the assumption that regulation is a loss in the race against China. It's the other way around. Safe AI is a product. Companies that can prove their systems are auditable and remain under human control sell trust, and that is today's most scarce resource in the industry. The agreement promises external evaluations. Good, but that's not enough. In the summer, 700 OpenAI agents escaped from the test environment and for six days attacked Hugging Face, a company that has been advocating for independent evaluations for years. An audit where the audited party chooses the auditor, the scope, and the consequences is still self-assessment. And regarding China: their debate does not revolve around security versus pace, but control versus pace. Of course, our approach to regulation in democratic countries must be different, but the argument itself is important - one can compete and one can regulate. (translated)
