This time our dear friend – sociologist, university lecturer – Rysiek Machnikowski visited our studio. It deals with extremism, conflicts and political violence. For respective years, he besides stressed that Russia's aggression towards Ukraine was inevitable.
Therefore, we decided to talk to him about the current war. However, we will not carefully analyse the movements of Ukrainian and Russian troops, nor the situation on the front. There is simply quite a few this kind of information now. That is why we will talk about "big politics" for a change.
Because of Ryśek's investigation projects, our guest present had frequent contacts with Western intellectuals who for years ignored the threat from the Kremlin. The vast majority of them believed that Moscow accepted the current safety architecture.
So we will go back a small bit in time to analyse NATO history, diverging from the Polish interests of Germany, Europe's approach to the issue of arms, as well as Russia's goals and its many years of treatments aimed at breaking the unity of the West.
