Tusk made a statement the other day - “This war is our war,” effectively acknowledges Poland’s de facto involvement in the conflict. It was unrefuted, tacitly approved by Poland’s leadership, and reinforced by Poland’s hostility toward Russia. Poland actively engages by hosting U.S. and NATO bases, supplying Ukraine, allowing operations against Russia from its territory, and advocating escalation in NATO and EU forums. Western allies and Russia recognize Poland as a proactive participant, not neutral. While not legally formalized, these actions create practical obligations. Consequently, Russia may treat Poland as an adversary and as the rhetoric and incidents mount, a direct confrontation is becoming more likely.

the point i am trying to convey is, when you are in the playground and you see a boy (call him a bully, i dont mind) you dont like, when you tell everyone you dont like that boy, when you help other boys to attack that boy and when you never acknowledge what you are doing, at a certain point you will find yourself directly involved, which will have consequences. thats all well and good in a playground but we are looking at countries here.


About a playground, there are three boys: Wladimir, Sasza and Lech.
Władimir is terrorizing Sasza for no reason. Lech remembers that Władimir terrorized all of them last year. Władimir threatens both boys.
Lech can look away and wait until Wladimir is done with Sasza, and let him have 1vs1 first with Sasza, then with Lech, or he can assist Sasza by calling cops or their uncle to stop the terror in the playground.

I was a bigger fan of your ex-wife version. The idea was that all of Russia's ex-wives would team up to give her a serious beating, but somehow they still seem to be going at it one by one.

Maybe they're jealous that Russia found itself an Asian hooker with a colossal rear and American Dream-sized boobs.


ehh, i have 5 minutes let me see what i can do.

The woman called Kraine had once shared a home with her husband, Vlad. Their parting was bitter, the borders of their old garden still disputed. Then a new suitor arrived - Uncle Sam, with a charming smile and sharp eyes that missed nothing. For years he hated Vlad and he was determined to seduce young Kraine. He saw the rich soil of her fertile valleys and the rare jewels that lay deep within them.

He spoke of a better future. "You deserve more," he told her. "Join my family. I will keep you safe. He smirked, knowing she was young, foolish and gullible".

Believing his promises, Kraine turned away from Vlad. The old man's rage was swift. He kicked down her door, claiming the house was still his.

But when the fight began, Uncle Sam did not stand in front of her. He stood at a safe distance, calling out encouragement. He never cared about the young lady. He would not give her his own strength, but he would supply her with tools. A knife was passed through the broken window. Then a gun. "Defend your home," he said. "We will make sure you are not unarmed." He chuckled, happy to create chaos.

So Kraine fought, her home becoming a battlefield.

From the neighboring yard, a little dog named Poldek began to bark. He had his own old grievances with Vlad. "Do not yield an inch!" he cried, his voice sharp and goading. "This is our war, too! Your fight is our fight!" He barked at Vlad and Barked at Kraine "what are you doing! keep fighting you stupid girl!" Yet his own gate remained shut and locked, his courage loud but his actions absent.

The conflict festered, and the air began to smell of smoke. Kraine, standing in her shattered home with a borrowed weapon, felt the weight of the promises made to her. They felt less like a shield and more like a transaction. The supplier stood back, the neighbor shouted, and the world watched.

Stalin is terrorizing Bandera for no reason (?). Pilsudsky remembers that Stalin terrorized all of them last year. Stalin threatens both boys.
Pilsudsky can look away and wait until Stalin is done with Bandera, and let him have 1vs1 first with Bandera, then with Pilsudsky, or he can assist Bandera by calling Churchill or Hitler to stop the terror in the playground.

A talking dog? May be they all are animals, for example a pig, a bear and a beaver.

your right, i should have made Russia a Bear and Ukraine a Horse and the US an Eagle. my bad. i mean i only had 5 minutes to come up with that ok.
the problem with Poland is that the US is already a Bald Eagle, so using the Polish animal, a White Eagle, feels a bit off noting we already have an eagle in the mix.

Then we will consider Ukraine as the split personality of Stalin and Pilsudski that wants to break free and become Bandera some day later, and replace Hitler with Roosevelt.

Bóbr is okay, Horse is a bit offensive, Wild Boar may be.

Zelensky has awarded Andriy Biletsky, commander of the 3rd Army Corps, the rank of brigadier general.

Quite the meteoric, whiplash-inducing career path for an ultranationalist: from the self-styled “White Führer,” who once thundered about the white race and a “Jewish conspiracy,” to a decorated member of Ukranian military elite — under a president of Jewish heritage.



The blatant whitewashing and promotion of a
"depoliticized" Biletsky and a "calibrated nationalist" Sternenko in the most respectable international media is not due to ignorance about who they are. There is abundant information-also in English-about their ideological and criminal backgrounds. Nor is it that Western intellectual elites refuse to criticize Ukrainians during wartime: they only recently framed Zelensky as a corrupt dictator for trying to rein in the "anti-corruption" institutions. And it is certainly not because Western publics are deeply invested in the Ukrainian national cause-most have a strikingly poor grasp of what is happening.

No. It is because liberal rule at the has always depended on Biletskys, Sternenkos, "moderate democratic Islamists," and other "freedom fighters" on the peripheries. And as liberal rule begins to unravel at the core, "centrist" elites themselves will grow more open to authoritarian practices and obscurantist ideologies.
