The author agreed with an unnamed person, arguing that many Europeans had become accustomed to treating the US military presence in Europe as a reason to neglect their responsibilities as states and allies. The author said Europeans knew Article 5 by heart, while few outside expert circles knew Article 3. #Europa #Alianzas #Defensa #US #EU

The author argued that internalised postmodernism erased the distinction between good and evil by portraying aggression as an ordinary feature of great-power behaviour, citing Hitler’s Germany’s invasion of Poland and Putin’s Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. #Postmodernism #Aggression #GreatPowers #DE #PL #RU #UA

The author of the entry wrote that the end of the "history" of peace in the world has awakened not only Poles from a beautiful dream. He pointed out that Poland borders Russia, and in his opinion, this awakening should mean an urgent return to mandatory military service and responsibility for defending one's own country. #pokój #obrona #Polska #PL #RU (translated)

The author pointed out that in the ongoing discussion in Poland about reinstating compulsory military service, the majority of accounts fueling emotions and conflicts are anonymous. He hypothesized that the Russian operation aimed at weakening Poland's defense potential is already underway, and the debate is part of it. #Polska #wojsko #bezpieczeństwo #PL #RU (translated)

The author of the post pointed out that in the discussion about reinstating mandatory military service in Poland, the majority of accounts fueling emotions and conflicts were anonymous.

The introduction of mandatory military service for those turning 18 and 19 means the establishment of an entire legal framework. The system will encourage the regulation of relations to military service. Lack of compliance may cause various life difficulties - lack of a passport, state-related issues. #służbawojskowa #prawo #młodzież #PL (translated)

The author wrote that Moscow may have believed it could carry out sabotage across NATO territory, commit arson, attempt to derail trains and attack targets near Polish–Ukrainian border crossings without consequences. They said two signals should make it reconsider, citing NATO warnings about military targets. #NATO #Moscow #Security #PL #UA #RU #NATO

Europe faces a political dilemma: whether - and how - to talk to Russia while the Americans are already talking to Putin’s regime. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have made repeated trips to Moscow; CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently visited too. The concern is also the #Europe #Russia #Diplomacy #RU #US

Abuse of power in Poland takes many forms. Using public office to rewrite history is one of them. Nearly twenty years ago, historians Sławomir Cenckiewicz and Piotr Gontarczyk assembled evidence identifying Lech Wałęsa as “Bolek”, a secret informant for the communist Security #Poland #History #AbuseOfPower #PL

I suspect these attempts to portray Poland, Lithuania and Finland as just more “colonial empires” are no coincidence. The logic is convenient: if everyone is just like Russia, then Russia is no different from anyone else. A neat way to normalise Russian imperialism - and #Russia #Imperialism #Colonialism #PL #LT #FI

If Russia is preparing to intensify hybrid attacks and sabotage across Europe, Moscow should be explicitly warned that its actions may trigger restrictions on Russian trade through the Danish Straits. The stakes are enormous: in 2025, Russia’s Baltic terminals handled 47% of its #Russia #HybridWarfare #TradeRestrictions #RU #DK #EU

Po niespełna dwóch latach od powołania na stanowisko dyrektora @PISM_Poland dr hab. Jarosław @JCwiekKarpowicz został wczoraj odwołany przez premiera Donalda Tuska na wniosek ministra Radosława Sikorskiego. Tego samego ministra, który wcześniej wnioskował o jego powołanie. #Polska #PISM #DonaldTusk #PL

“The glory days of D-Day and Market Garden-sized airborne operations are no more.

Takie spotkanie powinno być standardową procedurą operacyjną każdego rządu w obliczu zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa państwa. Rząd zawsze ma przewagę informacyjną nad opozycją. Zawsze może więc pojawić się podejrzenie, że wykorzystuje ją nieuczciwie: buduje poparcie dla siebie, #bezpieczeństwo #rząd #opozycja #PL

“The Department of Justice announced today the unsealing of charges against five individuals working for the intelligence services of the Russian Federation to conduct attacks and murders around the world, including in the United States. As detailed in the unsealed indictment, #JusticeDepartment #Russia #Indictment #RU #US

Kolejne takie spotkanie odbyło się w listopadzie 2021, po wizycie w Polsce Avril Haines, dyrektor Wywiadu Narodowego USA. Przyjechała ona do Warszawy, aby przekazać informację, że Rosja przygotowuje się do wznowienia wojny z Ukrainą i będzie dążyć do zdobycia Kijowa. Premier #wojna #Ukraina #Polska #PL #US #RU #UA
