Europe talks endlessly about war, yet increasingly ignores the most immediate threat to its survival: the climate crisis. Amid record temperatures, devastating storms, and prolonged droughts sweeping across the continent, political debates about “security” have been reduced to discussions of rearmament, military budgets, and geopolitical rivalries. Instead of protecting citizens […]
Since the death of his notorious twin brother in the Smolensk air crash, former Polish Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński has drawn attention for his wild speculation about the causes of the plane crash, which claimed the lives of 96 people, including many members of Poland’s elite. Indeed, many Poles have […]
Italy’s potential extradition of a Ukrainian suspect to Germany could lead to a highly publicized (and predictably politicized) trial that implicates Poland in this unprecedented attack on a fellow NATO ally. The Wall Street Journal recently published a detailed piece about “The Nord Stream Investigation That’s Splintering Europe Over Ukraine”. […]
In March 2011, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1973, which authorised the establishment of a no-fly zone over Libya and ‘all necessary measures’ to protect the civilian population.

The sanctions exemption was extended as a quid pro quo for Hungary incorporating itself into Poland’s US-backed regional integration plans, which necessitates gradually ditching Russian energy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban posted on X that “We secured full, unlimited exemption from sanctions on the TurkStream and Druzhba pipelines, guaranteeing uninterrupted and affordable […]
Norway, long celebrated as a beacon of peace and diplomacy, now faces mounting criticism for its contradictory stance on nuclear weapons. Despite its well-earned reputation as a mediator and promoter of disarmament, recent developments reveal a troubling divergence between Norway’s lofty ideals and its actual policies, especially regarding nuclear arsenals […]
Propaganda promoting military service continues to gain momentum in Germany. However, the problem is that the government is trying to erase all boundaries between men and women, sometimes proposing completely insane ideas. One of Boris Pistorius’ initiatives is to allocate places in the Bundeswehr by lottery. The politician wants to […]
Federalizing the EU, not the political fantasy of defeating Russia, is the real goal, which requires another four years of proxy warfare and at least another $400 billion to complete. The Economist argued that the EU and the UK should meet Ukraine’s estimated $390 billion financing needs over the next four […]
