Can anybody explain the Polish perspective on the Ukraine war?
I went to Poland and it looked like what Western Europe should look like. The urban areas were clean and seemingly safe. Indeed the people living there are mostly European or Slavic.
My understanding is that most of the tsunami of African or Middle-Eastern immigrants of the 2000s would rather go to Western Europe or Scandinavia for better welfare or economic prospects.
Still, Poland used to get in trouble with the EU for not wanting to take in a certain amount of them.
Moreover, Poland has also faced reprimand from the same union for their policies toward non-heterosexuals.
Why did Poland even join the EU? Did they really need the money so badly at the time?
Now it seems that Poland is going toward ever more alignment with the EU and US.
Are they really so scared of Russia that they would drink the corn syrup and give up on whatever is left of their culture/sovereignty/demographics?
Is anybody of relevance in Poland even attempting to contradict the pro-Western turn?

That young people had a need to turn themselves into GMO experiment.
-injections do not protect from getting the disease
-have negative side effects in a % of the pop, including fertility (imaging wanting children in the future and submitting to a potentially sterilizing procedure)
-below a certain age the disease itself is basically not deadly
-governments prevented travel from pure humans but that's over
-colleges prevented attending but that's on the way out
-some companies prevented holding a job, probably over and plenty of companies did not
In summary, injection was unnecessary, harmful to health, and not taking it relatively easy to avoid for presumably smart people

To anyone who has discussed the issue with pro-Ukraine people.
Why do people support Ukraine fighting against Russia, with a strange militaristic fervor, instead of supporting surrendering / negotiating peace?
-the war is severely impoverishing Europe due to high energy costs
-the war is destroying Ukraine ( population + territory / infrastructures / institutions)
-continuing the war increases the chances of a world war
Is it cheering for the possible destruction of Russia?
Something to do with the current leadership of Russia, anti-LGBTQ, pro-family policies?
Is it about the 1991 borders of Ukraine, issues with post-Soviet Union border disputes?
Notion that 'if we don't stop Putin now he will never stop no matter what'? Is it something about broadly standing up against aggression of one state vs another, supporting the 'underdog'?
The issue with that one which seems to be central to Alexander's March 22 post is that there isn't much that seems capable of stopping Russia.
Sending another 100k Ukrainians to the meatgrinder for that end seems a little bit harsh coming from people with very little skin in the game.
Just signaling what they are told is the correct opinion?
Is it about saving face, sunk cost at this point?
What would be the best case scenario for a Ukraine/State Department victory?
To my understanding, Putin is not the most radical or dangerous politician in Russia, and an implosion into ethnicity-based sub-regions would cause similar problems to the 'Arab Spring'. Chechens for example would not appear very West-friendly once 'liberated' from Russia.
Not only that, but economic crisis in Europe could generate additional security risks.

I do not believe anyone who suggests Ukraine should surrender is honestly concerned about Ukrainian lives. And if they are, then I would expect them to let the Ukrainians make that decision.
Ukrainians can't really control whether America is going to dump boatloads of weapons to their leader who is pushing them to the frontline with a gun to their back, can they?
Or since they're not revolting and murdering Zelensky and his Azov buddies then we must assume that they consent to taking part in the CIA's proxy wars?

If EU and US drop their support, the war will end as Ukraine's leadership get captured.
This will prevent Ukraine's leadership from rounding up and forcing more men to die in the war, and if the sanctions are loosened, Europeans will afford cheaper heating and power, and possibly still keep some industry in the future.
The only winner if the war keeps going on and on is the American military-industrial complex and its deep state affiliates.
If you have a lot of shares of Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman or LNG companies then you will definitely profit.
Perhaps if like Andrew Tate you're invested in the adult entertainment industry then access to cheap Ukrainian / Russian workforce would also interest you.
Or perhaps you are involved in the international child adoption business, and would really like to see Russia reopen its orphanages to international customers... Who knows?

I think Russia made an ultimatum based on the Minsk agreement right before the war, telling Ukraine to stop their little game of seeking favors with the West or else.
Ukraine also had the option of not bombing civilians for years in Eastern Ukraine and they chose not to. From the perspective of civilians in the Eastern Ukraine, Russia has only joined a war that Ukraine was waging against them for years.
There is no realistic path for an independent Ukraine victory in my opinion, it's a matter of Americans and Europeans deciding that tanking their own economy is not worth preserving the borders of some random post-soviet state.
From Ukraines perspective it’s better to win or lose now.
From the Ukrainian man's perspective, it's better to see their leadership surrender than to get sent to the die in a war that they have nothing to gain from.

Do you suppose the Taliban poses any threat to the System?
I think it does in a way, in a cosmic justice way. What comes around goes around.
Who knows if the next big international influencer won't be some kid who saw Americans first come in and destroy his country then send blue-haired gender studies operatives to remodel it, then just shut down and disappear?
If the Taliban consistently protect their population from say, Pfizer products for the next n iterations of 'global pandemic' they might become a decisive demographic, somehow.
I don't know your reasons for leaving Russia, maybe they're really good who knows.
Perhaps your assessment of the state of the Russian military and economy are completely correct and Russia is on the verge of collapse.
I like these direct accounts much better than the overt propaganda found everywhere else.
Well, back in March, in Sheremetyevo airport, was the first time in my life I've seen so many decent-looking, middle-to-upper-class ethnic Russians with lots of kids – and lots of luggage on heavy carts, frantically saving their families from a lifetime in squalor... or worse.
I don't blame them, but where are they going?
Are they really getting a better existence for their families? Or are they just looking for things of this world?
Russia is purifying itself from the materialist type, the engineers, the thinkers, the cowards, the revolutionaries maybe... Who knows where this is all going. Worst case, return of the Golden Horde.
No matter how you try to distance yourself from your political enemies, you're still an obese consumerist with a taste for HFCS in matters of flesh and spirit alike, going for the quick and easy hit of gratification.
You still aren't willing to see how alone and outmatched you are. Russia won't save you.
I'm not looking for Russia to save me. That would be someone else.
What do you mean by alone and outmatched? From a political pov? As in the whole world is becoming globohomo it's over or something?
Luckily a lot of the alt-right is just becoming straight-up religious extremist. Revenge of the Taliban, so to speak.

Isn't it worth it to start conscription when the US are attacking you in a proxy war?
My understanding of the Russian situation is that Russians as a people have a very high level of resilience.
Life in Russia generally sucks, it sucking a little bit more than usual is a common, accepted occurrence.
On the other hand the EU are made up of a bunch of individuals looking to increase their own personal comfort and who are really inconvenienced by energy prices going up.
Russia can still cut its fertilizer exports if they decide that they really want to go all out against the rest of the world.
It's possible that Russia will suddenly collapse in a hundred internal revolutions or something, but that does not strike me as a good outcome for somebody that values the overall safety of the world.

If you really believe someone supports Ukraine because they have shares in Lockheed Martin
Is that really such an outlandish claim?
This is pretty common stuff on alt-left outlets isn't it? Talking Jimmy Dore for ex
Here's a list of US representatives with money officially invested in defense stocks
Here's a list of the Rep Congressmen that did not vote for Ukraine aid (they're not on the previous list afaik)
they want to traffic in Ukrainian and Russian prostitutes or children
Hard to prove that one, human traffickers are a little bit more shy on their political affiliations.
It would make sense for a human trafficker to want a war to go as long as possible.
Thank you for answering the question!
From the Polish perspective joining NATO defangs the German threat while pissing off their ancient rivals/enemies, the Muskovites, as far as they're concerned it's all win.
Seems a little bit careless. The Eternal Germ will not let them get away with it.
Sure the duplicitous Germans and and effete Belgians can whinge about immigration policy but what are they actually gonna do, Poland is part of the Schengen Zone baby and they've been pulling the DeSantis trick of sending unwanted immigrants to the hometowns of politicians who promote immigration for years now.
But now they're submerged in Ukrainian immigrants. It's not the end of it either.
It seems to me that their only saving grace is their unique language, for now.
Once they have the Americans 'helping out' with the Russian threat and the Germans 'advising' and the British 'training' they'll find out that their younger generations only want to speak English.
+if/when NATO finally takes out Russia, I imagine Poland would be in the runner-up for the next 'disturbingly native-looking' country in what remains of Europe then.
If anything, Russia is a good distraction from their little DeSantis tricks, it's not in their best long-term interest to have the Ukraine wedge take out the bear.

They do, but so do Germany and Poland, or even USA and Poland, let's not forget the Lend-Lease that helped the USSR conquer Poland in the first place.
Why are the Poles so afraid of Russia?
Or are they afraid that they will lose their sovereignty and be forced to do horrible things, like welcoming people they do not like and allowing disgusting acts to be carried out on their countrymen?
Are they afraid that the Russians will replace the Polish population with an indistinguishable mix of ethnicities and cultures that have no bearing to the original Polish people and culture?

Ukraine has been bombing civilians in the Eastern parts of the country, and is forcing men within its borders to join its armies, it's not exactly a model of 'consent to be governed'.
Russia is doing this with their invasion and allowing Russia to be reward for breaking this rule sets an unacceptable precedent.
Here is on the other hand John Bolton bragging about overtaking other countries' governments.
Why do I somehow doubt the people on the side of John Bolton when they tell me that Russia has no good reason to be wary of their next-door neighbor inviting John Bolton and his buddies to build up military installations on their border?
But they learned from the Nazi days that appeasement doesn't work and expansionist tyrants can only be adequately answered with absolutely no tolerance.
Expansionist tyrants like the ones attacking North Africa, the Middle-East, setting up puppet regimes in South America for decades...?

mRNA vaccines do not modify your genome.
The Reuters 'fact-checker' quotes Mark Lynas who is merely speculating:
"It does not enter the (cell) nucleus and cannot interact with your DNA or cause any changes to the genome (here)”.
Then this other source:
'In an explainer about COVID-19 vaccines, Oxford University’s Vaccine Knowledge Project rebukes misinformation about mRNA with equal force: “there is no way for human DNA to be altered by an mRNA vaccine.” (here).'
They are asserting this claim without evidence.
Until this is actually tested, it is possible.
Here's a few contradicting evidences :
We know the certain viruses like HIV are able to insert their genomes of RNA into the human genome but only after they have converted it into DNA. This is accomplished via a virus enzyme called reverse transcriptase – an enzyme humans don't have. So the upshot is we don't have a way for mRNA vaccines to be inserted into our genomes. SO current vaccines are safe.
Basically it is established that RNA can be turned into DNA and integrated into the genome.
This is a well-known phenomenon.
The point of contention is whether or not what is in the injection can do the same thing.
Until there is a study coming out to prove in a large sample that this does not happen, it remains a possibility, no matter what fact-checkers say, as this is something that happens in nature.
Here's one in-vitro study that found DNA integration of the injection product
Here is the commentary on that study that says 'vaccines are safe but actually that study makes a good point'
Fourth, retroviruses in particular are known to reverse-transcribe intracellularly and have the ability to be integrated into the host genome. There is some evidence in support of SARS-CoV-2’s ability to integrate some of its genetic sequences into the DNA of the host cells [7]; however, unlike retroviruses, the infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus could not be reproduced from the integrated subgenomic sequences.
The mechanism exists in nature but we need to know whether or not it happens in injected humans.
Issues have to do with whether or not the injection reaches the cell nucleus, and whether or not the RNA gets reverse-transcribed, and what dose is needed, etc.
The FDA itself did not have even specify an actual dose on its emergency authorization if I recall correctly.
They are not controlling how much of the RNA mixture each injection delivers, as far as I know.
Here's one of your previous Fact-chunkers describing some of the side effects.
Regarding fertility, I'm basing it on the widely reported complaints about menstruation issues from women who were injected and some other anecdotes.
Even if it did not make one sterile, it still would not make sense for young people to take it.
If you look at excess death counts Covid starts clearly showing up in the 25-44 age group; not kids, but not exactly great-grandma either.
A lot of unhealthy people in that age range that could use some more obvious remedies before dipping into transhumanism; for example watching their diet or avoiding paraphilia associated with sexually-transmitted diseases.

The alternative to expensive heating is maintaining a substantial military that occasionally kills an appreciable portion of your workforce. Europeans of the future will count this as an unmitigated win.
Expensive heating and expensive power. The kind of stuff you need to run factories that would help you equip an army when you inevitably come to need one.
In what universe does successfully defeating your rivals and preserving the sovereignty of not even allies harm one's credibility?
Successfully defeating your rivals? First they could start by successfully defeating the Taliban.
Are you actually able to look at the Russia Ukraine conflict and conclude that nations should strive to be on the Russian side of the equation?
At least the Russians have the balls to resist American commands. I imagine a number of Eastern-Europeans would understand that.
If you're an Eastern European country watching this go down you'd trade just about anything to be in the good graces of uncle Sam.
Yes just like the Poles strove to be on the good side of Britain and France, how'd that work out for them at the time?
Maybe they should remember that the Soviet conquest of Poland was possible thanks to the American lend-lease?

From the worth/value model, the best worth response remaining is to cut losses, which in the context of Ukraine would mean withdrawing from Ukrainian territory.
Withdrawing from Ukraine would mean that Russia is essentially allowing NATO to forever expand and threaten its borders, and also that genociding Russian minorities on Russia's borders is not a big deal.
That's not cutting losses.
Accepting the gains of a nuclear armed power conducting a war of territorial conquest against one of the few countries in the world to have actually given up nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees by said power is considerably worse.
Sounds like head cannon from the same people that came up with WMD in Iraq for what? To a lot of countries the problem of nuclear proliferation is probably not whether or not it's happening but who is holding the nukes above their head.
Western intelligence unilaterally deciding that such or such 'aggression' is worth 'sanctioning' or not a given country does not make it an absolute moral rule.
Go tell the Donbass civilans they gotta keep taking the bombs because otherwise nuclear proliferation bad.

Anglin is not 100% right about every prediction, that's a given, but he's been pretty good about Covid.
His analysis of current events is head and shoulders above any mainstream media coverage.
As an alt-right leader he told his followers not to go to events like Charlottesville or J6.
He saw the crackdown coming.
and the obvious fact that Ukraine plus the System are winning, and the winning party tends not to give up mid-war (except if you're Russia in WWI, and that didn't go well). But this is the world-historical one, as I see it.
The System is winning but not against the Taliban. The System is 'winning' where the System says it's winning, in the eyes of the followers of the System. All of the good followers of the System like you are fleeing from Russia.
Is this weakening Russia? Are they losing out when all their atheist, gay activists, anti-family subversives are fleeing?
Are they losing when the American fast food companies are shutting down and no longer reliably and consistently poisoning their population?
More importantly, they can reason through the pic related. Can you?
Wars are not bi-dimensional problems and Moloch did not save the Romans from what happened 300 years later, with the emergence of a class of people that would align Death > Slavery > Freedom in some cases. Not that this is predictive of anything regarding the Ukraine v Russia situation.

History is written by the victors, that's true. Russia looks like an aggressor to you but everyone else sees their behavior as restrained compared to US hegemony.
US might win that game, at the cost of destroying all their Western European allies.
Nobody else cares about Putin invading his neighbor.
If anything else, every other country is going to be even more distrustful of the US, as they can just break all rules of international trade and blockade you for minor border disputes.

Why are you unable to understand that people have different views on armed invasion versus voluntary association and the travails of dealing with migrants
I just find it odd that 'nationalists' would run from the Russian Empire to immediately jump into the Western EU Empire.
Either way, the Ukrainian people is not going to be in charge of its destiny. If you abhor the Russian language, wait until you see what they speak.
voluntary association
Haha yes 'voluntary'. We just choose to go along the propaganda. How lucky we are to suddenly have a desire for transgenders and gay marriage and open borders!
migrants (who have not, to date, prioritized going to the poorer eastern countries over richer parts of Europe)
It's inevitable. These Ukrainians are apparently attempting to become wealthier. With wealth comes migrants.
Unless by this statement, the brave Ukrainian soldier means that he wants to be like Poland and refuse to take in the refugees that the EU asked them to:

Why would anyone be arguing that Ukraine should surrender?
To preserve Ukrainian lives.
So far, the only peace proposal on offer from Russia seems to be "Let us keep everything we've taken so far, with no promise that we won't try to finish the job once we've had time to regroup."
I think Putin announced the objectives of the operation, to neutralize the threat that Ukraine created by attacking civilians in its Eastern regions and so on. As long as Russia is willing to fight that war and complete these objectives, they have no reason to stop doing so as they have more capacity than Ukraine does.
The EU and US are unable to stop the conflict as they are unwilling to directly send in their own troops against Russia, so all they can do is escalate it by fueling it with weapons and other support.
It seems that Americans and Europeans are more than willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.
I'm an American. The proliferation of America's military power does not threaten me.
So you do not identify with the BLM crowd 'hands up don't shoot' or the J6 protesters 'please stop detaining me without a trial'?
What about Rittenhouse? Good boy watching his neighborhood or one of these evil gun-havers that needs to be disarmed by the military kicking down everybody's door?
This all comes off as a distraction anyway. But I think even independent of my pro-America bias, it's very hard to spin the US as being as destructive of an influence as Russia. Far harder to defend the victim's of America's "wars of aggression," at least.
Hard to argue with that. We can start with Russia never dropping nukes on 2 cities full of civilians perhaps.
Not necessarily. I understand that many Western Euros don't actually like clean and safe cities that much. Otherwise they wouldn't be so tolerant of all these immigrants...
Clearly there is something, perhaps 'Prussian' in Poland, that makes them enjoy their cleanliness, and their peace.
Why then get ever tighter with the aforementioned Western Euros + Americans who do not?
White nationalism seems foolish at this point as there are so many internal divisions within the species. Indeed most of the enemies of the continued survival of a certain type of European are European themselves.
As I see it, the future of that species is with an unification across borders. While TikTok and other online propaganda apparatuses are rapidly conquering masses across the planet, the resistance is becoming more and more diverse itself. Anybody with an ounce of interest in traditional culture and living can join, with regional differences fading as the enemy is global and common. The biggest obstacle being language, but this should resolve itself soon enough.
