The author of the post criticized European leaders, arguing that their fear of Donald Trump's reaction was preventing them from firmly defending Europe's interests. He cited examples such as Venezuela, Greenland, economic pressure on European allies, strategic fuel reserves, interest in Russian oil assets, and decisions regarding Russia and Ukraine. The author emphasized that he understood the importance of the American military presence for Poland's security, but questioned the value of assurances to maintain or expand bases if economic interests or ad hoc political calculations could outweigh commitments to allies. He also assessed that Europe remained too dependent on the United States and Trump's decisions. He stressed that solidarity with Ukraine requires action, not just declarations. He called for open debate in Europe and greater independence on security issues. #Polityka #Europa #Bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Piotr Cymcyk wrote that the last day showed how socially harmful media commentators' statements can be, including Gwiazdowski's, who compare the stock market to a casino. He argued that in a casino, the mathematical advantage belongs to the casino, while in the broad stock market, a longer horizon works in favor of the investor. As he argued, shareholders become co-owners of companies that conduct business, achieve profits, reinvest them, pay out dividends, and buy back their own shares. The growth of productivity in the economy and company profits, in his opinion, means that long-term investing in the broad market has a positive expected value. Cymcyk pointed out that one can behave like a gambler in the stock market, for example, by using excessive leverage, buying meme coins, or betting on options movements after the release of quarterly results, but that does not make the stock exchange itself a casino. He compared it to stating that the ability to drive a Ferrari into a family at a bus stop does not mean that the car is a killing machine. He also criticized the lack, as he wrote, of educational television material on investing a portion of savings in productive assets and using compound interest, while there is a frequent media presence of individuals whose statements he described as pseudo-wise. He added that Poland should build a strong capital market and increase its participation in it in order to catch up with the West economically, instead of being satisfied with current accounts at 0.1 percent. #giełda #inwestowanie #ekonomia (translated)

Auchan, Metro, Nestlé tracą kontrolę nad swoimi aktywami w Rosji, objętymi przymusowym zarządem. Putin nie szanuje cudzych granic. Skąd pomysł, że uszanuje cudzą własność?

Litewski ekspert ds. bezpieczeństwa, Vaidotas Malinionis, ocenia, że Rosja unika pełnoskalowego konfliktu z NATO, koncentrując się na działaniu w szarej strefie, co ma na celu podważenie jedności Sojuszu i uniemożliwienie aktywacji artykułu 5. Traktatu Północnoatlantyckiego. #Kreml #NATO #bezpieczeństwo
