Yes, to THEIR (PiS) survival, but not all Poles and democratic world survival.
They already made a mess trying to force US to give us F-35 for an exchange of MIG-29. They are endangering the world peace. They are idiots and know nothing about diplomacy. I am really afraid of their actions.
Just seen this anounced live on sky news:
Potentially very significant breaking news coming from the UN, where Russia has reportedly called for a UN Security Council vote on what it describes as a "humanitarian" resolution to the war in Ukraine.
Edit: they have just added the following, so nothing new really...
Answering a reporter's question, Moscow's ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, also said Russia would stop its invasion when the goals of what he described as its "special military operation" were achieved in Ukraine, including demilitarisation.
I answered already 3 times.
THEY've claimed they represent EU
Five young captured conscripts describing the shambolic nature of the Russian invasion. Even if we take into account they are being used for propaganda purposes, their accounts tally with everything we have heard about the disastrous problems on the Russian side ; equipment frequently breaking down, food shortages, heavy losses.
Up to 20,000 civilians feared dead in Ukrainian city Mariupol, says official....Petro Andryushchenko said the situation in the Ukrainian city was “catastrophic” and warned the death toll would approach 350,000 if residents did not leave in time.

Quite the fleet of confiscated super yachts building up. How about strapping a few explosives on them and drone pilot them into the Russian warships.
Your can have Nationalism that's not imperialistic in nature (Facist Spain) and Imperialism that's not Nationalistic in nature (British Empire, Soviet Union)
Usual pinch of salt, but badass if true
Modern Russia managing to look worse than 1984 day by day
Great, hopefully they can liquidise all this stuff later to raise funds to rebuild Ukraine.
Spanish authorities have detained a yacht owned by Russian oligarch Alexander Mikheyev, who is under European Union sanctions, according to a police source.
The yacht, called “Lady Anastasia”, cannot leave the marina of Port Adriano in Mallorca, where it is now moored, the source told Reuters.
On Monday, Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez said authorities had temporarily seized a Russian oligarch’s £108m yacht in Barcelona.
Sánchez told La Sexta television:
Today we seized – the technical term is provisionally immobilised – a yacht belonging to one of the principal oligarchs.
Looks like a Russian David Mitchell
@[Deleted User] - "Nationalism" and "nationalism" are not the same.
That's a capital way of putting it.
Ok so Jo
Hopefully it won't come to standing on the front line.
I wouldn't fancy you having my back if it's down to which political parties you support.
This guy looks like he is a computer generated image…..
UK are some shower. Fair enough if they don't want to let in whoever, but to be feckin' trying to gain credit for Irish accepting refugees is a bit too much. The Ukrainian girl fairly set her straight!
It is no way to live. What a waste of resources and human capital doing needless stupid tasks like checking senseless meaningless irrelevant documents. No wonder the Ukrainians are fighting to the death in this war.
I think its a brilliant idea. Let's send loads of politicians from right across europe and the wider world to act as a de facto humanitarian shield for Kyiv. Especially those politicians who are prone to talk the talk.
I lived there for awhile under the communist rule, and by God, the place was grim!!!, if you went into the "foreigners only hard currency Shop" in Moscow, you could actually feel the resentment in the looks of ordinary Muscovites as they passed by on the street. Fast forward a few years, after the fall of communism, and it was hard to recognize the place.....incredible how fast they became "westernized". Gone were the "Foreigner Shops" and GUM stores, where you had 3 or 4 assistants working behind one counter, with mainly empty shelves behind them. But even so, it was a heavily policed state. At one point I travelled to Europe with some Russian colleagues, and they were perplexed by the lack of visible policing...made them feel uncomfortable!!! But normality was quickly restored on arrival back at Sheremetyevo Airport, while walking outside the arrival building, 5 mins after arrival, we were stopped by the Police with the old refrain " Documents". Back to normal ( or as they say there " Normalno".) Whatever they think about the system, they are very carefull who they will share their true feelings with. Throwback to communist times, when even thought's were regulated, and reported on. I still remember the Babushkas stationed on each floor of the hotels, recording who entered and left, and the times...all written down in the book. And also on one occasion ( under the communists) while having a drink in the hotel bar, and just enjoying buzz, when two men entered. The place went quiet as these two, dressed in ordinary garb, went from person to person checking their document's, and in some cases taking notes. It was a while after they left before the air of normality returned. But do you think that anyone made a fuss? Asked them for identification? Asked what they were doing and why? No one made a peep, so ingrained is it in their psyche.
Short answer: f***k no.
I think that some of the instruments have fallback provisions to allow payment in roubles under certain circumstances. If that is the case, there are going to be a lot of PMs nursing sore heads.
Maybe they aren't in to buying a way out of a problem, think that standing up to Russia is vital to their survival. Which they would be correct in
It's a much easier differentation to make once you realise that there are two seperate words for each definition, the other word you're looking for is "imperialism".
Job done.
They are already sending aid and taking in millions of refugees. Instead of sitting in a comfortable office, these leaders are taking a risk, showing solidarity with Zelensky and Ukraine, and sending a strong message to Russia.
When did the leaders of European Nations need to have their diaries approved by unelected commissoners (which is an interestingly soviet power structure)
You guys are talking about two very different things - "Nationalism" and "nationalism" are not the same. The latter is expressed when there is a desire within a country for independent nationhood for distinct group within a , imperial or otherwise, or when there is a tangible external threat to the continued Independence of a nation. The former is the expression of superiority of an already secure nation state, often with threat that is created to demonise an "other" within the nation or within surrounding nations in an attempt to justify often reprehensible actions. Zelensky is a nationalist. Putin is a Nationalist
Hard enough to get planting with the scarcity of fuel and fertiliser, let alone having to worry about being be blown up by a Russian jet and dealing with corpses. I listened to a farm programme a few days ago that was on a local station. A Ukrainian pig farmer was on. With the way pigs can't be processed so they are processing the pigs on the farm and using it to feed the Ukrainian army and people(I can't find the link).
As I said THEY claimed it was a delegation from EU.
I would return, if Poland would win freedom and be ruled by democratic forces later. For sure I wouldn't to fight to keep Putinesque government in power... because it would be not freedom at all....
