Recent information “New York Times” about 12 secret CIA bases in Ukraine, from which Russia was spy on, is not a subject of interest and comment by Polish politicians who firmly believe in anything “unprovoked” assault of this hostile country on a “innocent” neighbour.
Many Poles realize the seriousness of the situation, but there is small they can do. Many people are simply indifferent, ignoring the danger either due to intellectual “expulsion” or intimidation. Those who see the real but hidden intentions of the authorities proceed to be solely liable for Putin’s current state of war. Even erstwhile Americans themselves begin to uncover information about their co-conspirators and co-responsibility, political leaders and media officials behave like “barans known for slaughter”, trusting their “gentlemen” from over the Vistula, Dniepr, Spree, Seines, Thames and Potomac until the last minute.
There are crucial differences in the degree of outrage with respect to the loud event in Russia and the humanitarian disaster in Palestine. What a wave of accusations spread in the West to Putin after an unnecessary death Alexey Navalny! A Julia Navalna is already being created as the “ heir to the throne”.
But why is not at the same time accused Benjamin Netanjah For the deaths of thousands of innocent Palestinians? Where are any consistent criteria for judgment? In all clear-minded man, there is simply a natural cognitive dissonance. Not everyone, however, can afford to decently admit who fuels the atmosphere of hostility to Russia and who manipulates our consciousness in specified a way that the death of 1 oppositionist in Russia is more crucial than the victims of tens of thousands of people in the mediate East.
Poland “Retorial War”
The silence of uncomfortable truths has become a regular of politics and mainstream media. However, it is worse that Poland has besides become the most militant supporter of NATO's military entry to Ukraine in fresh weeks. Polish politicians have for many months been in a "retoratory war" with Russia and Putin, and the scale of "language disinvolvement" exceeds the limits of imagination. Society does not want to realize which way this policy of hostility is heading. This is no longer "peaceful haze", it is blindness and cognitive deafness and acting against its own harm. It is simply a mindless policy to build shelters (someone has aired the business again!), without wondering what is the point of condemning people to war. In full war, those who die from the first atomic blow will be happy. To whom, then, do the authorities cook absurd vegetation in shelters and for how long?
Polish publishers are based on news from the front, transmitted exclusively by the Ukrainian side, which distorts the image of war and leads to a dead end. The vocation of information by the president and the Government of Ukraine, even if it concerns individual war losses, is openly disavowed by the US services, which show much more tragic effects. To whom then?
Without referring anything to the heroism of Ukrainian soldiers, questions about the sense of bleeding out a nation subjected to specified cruel experience are increasingly raised. The example of Ukraine clearly shows that the rulers can compromise the interests of their own people, knowing their power in narrowly understood and besides inspired from outside interests.
In Poland, all forecasts and predictions of Ukrainian representatives are accepted as a good coin, who do not know on what basis and according to which rules of analysis of reality foretell how Russia will behave erstwhile winning the war. The ominous visions of the flood of Europe by the Russian army are intended to scare and mobilise help. They have no rational value but fear. Among the Polish politicians, there is not a single voice that would dispel these crazy forecasts, unsupported by any analyses. Is this the consequence of ignorance, indifference or cowardice? How about a cynical game to make people live in panic, make supplies, and go into horrific dementia?
“Puck” Simon Holovnia
The show of deficiency of political discretion was given by the talker of the Sejm, who is 1 of the most crucial state officials. His megalomania and exuberant “ego showman” caused that the loving phase aplause of the politician had completely sizzled. Young people would say that he "went away." It is simply a “famous” message that “Putina will be crushed into the ground.”
One might ask how specified a message is held liable by the policy of this rank for the effects of its speeches. alternatively of being discreet and critical about himself, he creates himself as a “false” statesman, utilizing slogans and emotional rhetorical grasps alternatively than a calm knowing in reality. 1 could sigh: God, for what sins must the Polish nation endure vanity, ignorance, and foolish advances of politicians?
On the canteen of the episode of Marshal Holownia 1 can categorically say that there is no absolute freedom of expression for politicians, even the highest rank. It is limited by the possible of responsibilities and responsibilities in relation to its function and the function played by the public. State officials are, on the 1 hand, active in carrying out the tasks resulting from the political process (the rationality of decisions and the effectiveness of actions). On the another hand, they form public opinion, which, after all, mostly succumbs to its feelings and reactions to indications coming from the mouth of political leaders.
Any verbal exclusion, difamation and stigmatization of aliens in global relations leads to sinister hatred and the implementation of the Hobbs imagination of "war of all." They provoke revenge and revenge. Hatred politicians do not realize that specified a "emotional jungle" retreat is virtually impossible.
Polish Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk erstwhile pointed out the negative effects of "a severe illness of literalness" and "literalism", which are expressed in the deficiency of the ability to realize the specificity and complexity of phenomena explained in a given language. There is simply a common tendency to issue sharp, hasty valuation courts, mostly with negative colour, misunderstanding of the function of metaphor and ambiguity in conveying crucial content.
Most public broadcasters do not He realizes his blunders and mistakes. For this reason, General Charles de Gaulle observed that even the top improvisations during public appearances require solid thought and preparation. Another large Frenchman Charles M. Talleyrand He appreciated the succinctness and simplicity of speech, appropriate to the situation: "To say well means to say what is essential and to say only what is necessary, not to make mistakes and talk at the right time."
The language of force and harassment harms all human relationships. You must not “talk what spits on your tongue”. It's wiser not to talk nonsense. However, politicians, wishing to delight their electorate, scope out to defamatory language, shorten distance with primitive humor, fall into a trap of rallying and populism. Their statements are subject to the satisfaction of the audience’s emotional and immediate expectations. They besides do so by conducting blogs, recording podcasts and commenting on every, even the most embarrassing information. Social media uncover primitive instincts and embarrassing level of argument.
Politicians of the highest rank in the country are subjected to “tunnel thinking” and “cognitive closure”, meaning that their planet becomes one-dimensional, non-reflective and black-and-white. Under the influence of emotion, any "moral gallantry" disappears. Diplomatic rudeness, expressed at least in a “handlessness” to a typical of a country accredited in the host country, is simply a origin of false pride and a sign of infantilism. Many politicians seem to be able to usage the same "insolence" in global relations as on the national stage.
Participation in the ‘selection policy’ does not justify a drastic deficiency of common sense in addressing another states and their leaders. To justice whether individual is simply a criminal or a murderer belongs inactive in Western civilization to specialized tribunals, not to narcissistic politicians. All the more reason for senile old men or undereducated celebrities. Similarly, the call for the seizure and confiscation of property abroad with the omission of the judicial way reverses Western civilization to medieval practices of looting and property abuse.
Hostages of a War Lie
NATO countries and the European Union (except Hungary and Slovakia) have become “blind” hostages of a war lie, adopting for many years the hegemonic strategy of the United States to build a “peace by force” and an anti-Russian obsessive crusade. The expression of intellectual infection was the slogans “building up”, “restore”, “carrying” or “reconstruction” of peace in various parts of the world. With peace, the era of liberal democracy would come. However, aggressiveness and lawlessness were behind the peaceful slogans. The story of a demonic tyrant in the Kremlin is in turn to justify another U.S. escapade on Ukraine, from where most effective action could be taken and local human possible utilized to attack.
Thinker and diplomat of the Florentine Signoria Niccolo Machiavelli He was celebrated for the diagnosis of policy measures, among which various moral wrongs are allowed: intrigues, threats, lies, deception, innuendos and manipulation. The political goal justifies, in his opinion, any, even the most reprehensible, means. Since the publication of the Prince (1532), the notion of “makiawelism” means the usage of any situation to gain control over the conduct of others; the usage of any grasp to accomplish its objectives; cynicism and deficiency of scruples.
Politicians and diplomats in all age mention to an arsenal of morally questionable means, to specify their interests, to measure the other party, to choice arguments or to get and usage information harmful to the another party. That is why it is so crucial to have an intuitive sense of verbal boundaries, which should not be exceeded in order not to break the rudimentary foundations of common trust.
However, adopting the presumption of common hostility leads to increasing distrust, suspicion, and even aggression. The behaviour of conflicted pages is marked by antipathy and aversion, aversion and disgust, harassment, aggravating and plain meanness. The festival of specified emotions accompanies the Russian-Ukrainian war against the West in the background.
We give birth to politicians, regardless of their perfect provenance, a culture that has nothing to do with Christian mercy or the pragmatic doctrine of peace. Structural and cultural violence, about which the celebrated Norwegian irenologist wrote (a peace researcher), Johan Galtung, died on February 17, 2024, deep in the minds of the post-war generation of politicians. Putting ourselves in a dominant position, ideological mission and belief in the mission of civilization are a driving force for building asymmetrical bonds, based on superiority and subordination. Competing and fighting, negating and striving to destruct the enemy – these are the characteristics of the global strategies of the Atlantic countries.
With the eager participation of mad war politicians, full societies and nations are alienated from each other. Confused by lying propaganda leads people to express suicide tendencies, readiness to do specified feats that no 1 can predict. In front of our eyes, the achievements of global dialog (plurilogue) were lost, all the rules of building trust and credibility (good faith) were broken, reaching for violent vocabulary and atavistic hostility.
Faced with the collapse of Ukraine's resistance, catastrophic scenarios of the open engagement of NATO troops in this war are emerging. All hope remains in the awakening of American public opinion, which openly and demonstrably begins to appeal for a "debellification" of relations with Russia and the end of the conflict. There are a number of symptoms that propose that behind the Atlantic there is simply a sober assessment that the current cost balance is in favour of extinguishing it.
Americans can well read Russia's war doctrine, which clearly states that in the event of an external attack, even with conventional weapons only, the power can scope for atomic weapons. No demonstrations of forces on the side of the West will aid in the situation of the “nuclear pact”. MAD lever (acronim virtually means ‘crazy’, after improvement Mutual Assured Destruction) is translated as mutually guaranteed destruction. In the event of a war transition to the atomic conflict phase, each organization will be destroyed. alternatively than tame people with the hazard of a catastrophic apocalypse, it is essential to call loudly and collectively for leaders of atomic powers to self-limitation and abstinence. The price is to save everyone from the fire.
Stop inciting!
Since the last election run in Poland, all political forces have advocated an escalation of war, but they are silent about the state of preparations for the Polish army and the usefulness of non-combatable weapons. It will not aid to keep Parliament's proceedings secret. Secret, it was the advice of the king, not the deliberations of the representatives of the people, who should always be public and transparent!
Many signals from military experts and specialists show that the Polish army is in a state of deep method and organisational collapse. So he is not fit to face a stronger enemy than himself. Why, then, all the pro-war tromtarization and recourse to allied, never-tested commitments? Counting allies, even for the Nordic countries, only gives false well-being, but does not warrant any effective assistance if necessary. It is certain that in “zero hour” no 1 will want to “die for Warsaw”. So it is time to quit incitement to clash with Russia, due to the fact that the effects of confrontation will be mournful for society. The rulers will most likely find their “Cuts and Zaleszczyki” again.
By the time the West mobilizes politically, and NATO organises a military combined action, Poland will already be dead. Who's gonna push around to dig her out of radioactive ash? Dear Prime Ministers and Presidents, the “cozaking” ministers, so start to reason in terms of a courageous escape from the disaster, not a thoughtless push for it “with specified indiscriminate, irresponsible and disarming recklessness.”
I am afraid that the war on Russia is needed by many Western countries to reset all the problems brought by the crises of liberal democracy and globalised capitalism. possibly the Polish ruling class would besides be able to “compensate” various interior settlements with a disaster that would aid to consolidate the nation again, fill political divisions and make fresh martyrdom and heroic myths. In the flash of the Russian rocket explosion, all social, besides anti-Ukrainian protests will fade. The higher power (vis maior) will become the defence of the homeland and universal mobilization. For nothing stimulates conventional Polishness like the cry: “Let Poland know what kind of sons it has”. So, money, Moskal!
