Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz wrote that during the Warsaw Security Forum he had several meetings, including with the defense ministers of the Netherlands, Hungary, Norway, Lithuania, and Belgium. He informed that top military commanders from many NATO countries also participated in it. He stated that in his conversation with General Alexus Grynkewich, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), he raised issues of security on NATO's eastern flank and the future of the Alliance. The discussions also covered the development of European armies and their preparation for the modern battlefield and new threats. Kosiniak-Kamysz pointed out that drones, advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, and low-cost effectors are crucial for the effectiveness of NATO forces. In the face of Russian escalation in Europe, a strong Alliance, as he wrote, requires a common vision, real capabilities, and readiness for decisive action. #Bezpieczeństwo #NATO #Współpraca (translated)

Arkadikuss wrote that numerous studies from academies and research teams indicated that games—even violent ones—did not influence actual aggression. He referenced the position of the American Psychological Association, which stated that there was insufficient evidence for a causal link between violent games and serious violence, although the organization recognized a slight connection with some aggressive behaviors. He also pointed to a study published in "Royal Society Open Science" in 2020, involving 28 trials and about 21,000 young people, which found no convincing evidence of a significant long-term impact of violent games on aggression, as well as a study from 2024, described as "Internet & society," involving over 3,000 teenagers observed in four waves. As he wrote, it did not demonstrate that games caused "desensitization" leading to an increase in aggression. The author also addressed the view attributed to Dave Grossman, author of the book "On Killing," that games and media might amplify behaviors of individuals with psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies and also shape similar behaviors in others. Arkadikuss considered this argument doubtful and wrote that a person attacking someone under the influence of a game or film should not be described as "normal." He added that, in his opinion, television, journalism, and journalists could be identified as greater sources of aggression than games. Writing about Roblox, Arkadikuss acknowledged that the platform has shortcomings but assessed that the arguments against it are also weak. He claimed that the issue is not the games themselves but rather the people who may behave improperly in various places. He compared blaming games to banning knives in schools due to the threat they may pose and advocated for parental control instead of placing all responsibility on the games. #gry #agresja #badania (translated)

I am not ready to talk with Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski. Why? Because conversations with him regarding ambassadors have no significance. Why should I talk to a minister who is not in control of the situation? I can talk to Minister Sikorski's boss, that is, Prime Minister Tusk. When asked if he himself would first reach out to Donald Tusk, Karol Nawrocki replied that he is doing so precisely through the conversation published in "Rzeczpospolita." #nominacje #KarolNawrocki #RadosławSikorski (translated)
