What again? 😆👌

By refusing to play by the European Union’s restrictive climate rules, Poland has begun to build one of Europe’s most energy-secure economies. While much of the bloc marches in lockstep toward a self-inflicted economic wound called “net zero,”
At the heart of Poland’s defiance is a steadfast refusal to abandon coal, the bedrock of its energy system. In 2024, coal, oil, and natural gas accounted for more than 85% of total primary energy supply, the highest share in the EU. Coal alone generated 55% of the nation’s electricity in 2024, powering homes, factories, and businesses.
Maciej Bando, Poland’s deputy climate minister, has been unequivocal on this point: “I have no doubt that coal units will be needed in the system until they are naturally replaced by nuclear power plants.”
The idea that you can power a modern industrial economy with intermittent and unreliable sources of energy like wind and solar is a dangerous fantasy. Poland must be careful to not follow the examples of Germany and the United Kingdom, where domination of power grids by wind and solar has resulted in unstable power supplies, surging imports, and unaffordable power prices.
The green deal fantasies of the EU would have been quite disastrous for Poland. I am glad they have the balls to defy the EU, at least somebody in this region has some common sense. I wonder if they will be able to build few nuclear reactors. But they built autobahn everywhere, so I am optimistic.
So, everybody is rejoicing that Poland did not allow the Slovaks to fly over their territory…
That will show them!

But nobody asks why Czechia, Germany, Sweden and Latvia had no issues with this? Also, I don’t understand the hysteria generated by the Slovaks talking to Putin, to whom are they a traitor? Good relations with Russia are in the economic interest of Eastern European countries.
Today’s Poland is a total cuckold country…
Guys, you might have heard about the rapid development of Poland in recent years. This was all thanks to massive transfers of funds by the EU. Poland is the biggest recipient of EU money of all member countries. Some say, the EU created a display case out of Poland to act as a magnet for the people of Belarus and Ukraine. So Poland is completely beholden to the EU, opposition to Brussels is almost unheard of in that country (it is even greater in Czechia).
But now, the EU has gone bonkers. The Green Deal is threatening to close coal power plants, and has introduced modern day indulgences, so called carbon credits. This a tax on carbon dioxide generating industries, which the latter have to pay for being so dirty. And Poland is very dirty, Poland does not have any legacy nuclear power plants, their Commie government did not bother to build any. Poland burns coal! Of course Poland would not import cheap gas from Russia, let alone let the Russians build nuclear power plants. They are planning future nuclear built by Americans in 2030s. But by then, electricity will be very expensive.
Modern economy runs on electricity, all this manufacturing, computers, AI need electricity, lots of it, and it ought to be cheap, or your products and services will not be competitive. So I think Poland is kinda cooked…


So there has been a bit of a talk about Poland reclaiming its lost territories in Western Ukraine. I find this hardly believable. First off, what would Banderashits in Canada or the US say about it? And I do not believe Russia would allow these NATO hyenas to claim anything from Ukraine.

Although, seeing Polaks rampaging through Western Ukraine and removing Banderashits would be funny as well, and the squeal from Nazis would be even better…
So, these photos are making rounds around the internet, these Ukrainian women on the racy photos offer child care, nannying, and house work on a Polish site.
I can’t say if this is real…



Oh the horror…
From the Grauniad:
But even as most Russian citizens are unwelcome in Poland, the Russian language is heard ever more frequently in the country. By now, Warsaw has become probably the most Russian-speaking city outside the countries formerly part of the Soviet Union.
This is nothing surprising, if you read this blog regularly, you would be aware that Russian is the most dominant language in Ukraine. Ukrainian nationalists would erroneously claim this is because of centuries of brutal Russification but this is not the case. The language of the “constitution” of “Pylyp” Orlyk is Russian, so is the language of the Istoria Rusov, or the works of Bantysh-Kamensky.
There is a high level of artificiality to the Ukrainian language because Ukraine is fake and also gay. There are areas of Ukraine which are erroneously thought of as Ukrainian speaking but these are local creole dialects like Surzhyk and Hvara. Pure Ukrainian is spoken on TV and in presidential speeches, it is a all a façade, a spectacle.
I have a working knowledge of Polish, and can understand it, especially in written form. But any intricacies of the language are foreign to me.

I don’t know how genuine problem this is but the ethnonym “Ukrainian” has entered circulation rather recently, and it comes from Polish. The first to speak of Ukrainian nation (украинская народность) was the historian Nikolai Kostomarov in an essay titled “Two Russian nationalities.” Where he said there are two branches of Russians, Greater Russians and Ukrainians. This however cannot be considered the first use of the ethnonym Украинец.
The latter was adopted by some circles by the end of the nineteenth century but remained widespread among political activists and intellectuals only. By the outbreak of the First World War and especially towards its end, this identification got more currency. (See my posts here and here and here). I recall Oles’ Buzyna saying that the ethnonym “Ukrainian” was first officially used in the Austro-Hungarian military in 1916, on the orders of Emperor Karl I.
Otherwise it took root in 1920s during Soviet Korenizatsiya…

The map above suggests Western Ukrainian should go away to their former owners. This is why I’m against it, and why it wouldn’t likely happen.
QUICK NEWS: The new, US president Joe Biden froze Trump’s plan to withdraw US troops from Germany and install them in Poland.
