And then published in one of the most respectable and globally-circulated newspapers.

This wouldn’t be first nor 1000th time when Times is uncritically reposting nonsense from UA sources.

Those wasn’t their nukes, and they did, no chance of something like that being kept in secret for so many years during so much political voltas.

Mandarin or Chinese

Are they implying Mandarin is not Chinese?

You’re probably right. And this replacement deal was even real? I can recall that Poland offered to send F-16 and Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine if NATO proved replacements even back in 2022 or 2023 but USA did straight up denied.

Huh i thought that the tank deal was cancelled and the only thing that’s arriving were the planes. That’s very worrying honestly that Poland after 35 years finally signed a big weapon deal that don’t seem to be a complete fuckup, and that they dared to buy something not in USA or Germany.

Non socialist Poland should not be decently armed, ever.

That was pretty easy considering Poland have basically no new weapons, mostly old junk. Also he only do this when the internal little war seems to finally start in Poland, PO wants to trial several prominent PiS politicians but seems to wait for presidental election next year because Dupa will just pardon them otherwise, so he did this to spite them. Another reason might be that even a moron like him see the writing on the wall for Ukraine, especially considering the turmoil in Washington.

There is only one party in Polish mainstream politics that is nominally against or at least neutral for war in Ukraine and it is sadly the libertarian/nazi/monarchist Konfederacja, last elections in 2023 they got 1 547 364 votes, that is 7,16% which is 18 seats in sejm (on 460). In previous election 2019 they got 1 256 953 vots that is 6,81%, 11 seats.

New one in Poland is every bit as much proukrainian as the previous one though.

How about making darkly-red, red again?

while the war has definitely been more 2 sided than expected

Depend by whom. Ukrainian army was probably the second strongest army in Europe in 2022, they have been building up greatly since 2014 and was armed by NATO. Ever since the 2022 escalation they lost and rebuild their army 2 times and NATO countries were even stripping their own line units to arm AFU. So not counting soldiers (and even that can be arguable as a lot of foreign mecenaries and “volunteers” were and still are there, and i’m not talking about reddit cannon fodder but possibly even regular forces) it is two sided war because one side is Ukraine+NATO.

I agree that ultimately it don’t matter since we will get the truth in some years or decades or maybe never, but you must admit USA have long list of false flag attacks or provocations perfectly fitting “qui bono” question and coincidental with their contemporary political line. And it also have a very long tradition to promoting conspiracy theories to obfuscate what’s really happened. And at the same time turning legit theories into conspiracy ones, remember everything about Korea and Vietnam that was later proven?

And where they should get answers if not here? On some sites where they will hear that UFO did it? If you don’t know the answer or it does not interest you at least don’t bash people for searching.

Comrade you can’t just call someone conspiracy theorist and then answer “stop caring” on the good faith question about one of most important and impactful event of the century.

Theres a chance the west ends up being some sort of buffer neutral zone between EU and Russia.

That would alo require installing compliant government. Last few decades proven that Russia can live with neutral or fencesitting neighbours but anything except prorussian cabinet would get couped or taken over fast.

“This film is decicated to brave banderite fighters of Ukraine”

Liczne przykłady w historiografii, i to nie tylko u nas. Materializm historyczny jest tak przełomowym narzędziem historyka że każda metoda uprawiana wcześniej wygląda przy nim jak wróżenie z fusów. Dlatego właściwie każdy historyk warty swojej biblioteki będzie ją stosował i Polska nie jest wyjątkiem. Tylko że żeby opublikować książkę w Polsce trzeba jak wspomniałem wyżej, dokonać rytualnego odegnania demona komunizmu, a potem można już bez większych przeszkód uprawiać materializm historyczny.

Moje ulubione przykłady do sprawdzenia dla każdego anglojęzycznego czytelnika bo w popularnych książkach to “Historia społeczna starożytnego Rzymu” Gezy Alfoldyego gdzie autor najpierw stanowczo odżegnuje się of marksizmu a potem daje chyba najlepszy i wciąż aktualny marksistowski wykład tematu; i Paxtona “Anatomia faszyzmu” gdzie autor również stanowczo zaprzecza marksistowskiej definicji faszyzmu po czym dwa razy przy różnych okazjach i tokach rozumowania (!) samodzielnie do niej dochodzi w swoich rozważaniach.

Tamten komentarz jest smutnym efektem 35 lat bańki informacyjnej. To co ona napisała to jest właśnie jak “lewacka ideologia” rozumie i opisuje historię. Ludzie w Polsce chcą i potrzebują socjalizmu ale są uwarunkowani jak pies Pawłowa na ślepe odrzucanie wszystkiego co zostaje zidentyfikowane jako postawa na lewo od balcerowicza.

I never ever heard anyone calling it Meta in rl.

I just assume i need one and have occasional arr moment. Not much real viruses and malware threat. Oh and of course communist posting which can get me in trouble in Poland.

yes windows. I currently have Mac Afee subscription which i got from friend so i use it but i don’t like the tons of false alarms it produce, and it does have inbuild VPN so i thought it’s the standard now. I used windows defender before and didn’t had any problems. So i guess i would have to rephrase it to just good VPN?
