His Nobel price is for a literary work of fiction. His "Gulag Archipelago" is a part of high school curriculum in Russia today. Will you get a clue already?

There is nothing interesting left in your precious Constitution.

You are really ought to not be entitled to opinions that are entirely ill-informed and bigoted. Why don't you go and say shit about say, somebody black. Chicken? I distinctly remember you berating myself for being insufficiently respectful of Mexicans. Yet, you somehow see it fit to be grossly offensive to Russians? Where is the logic in that? Or are you only capable of being polite withing the scope of American libel laws? You call my Motherland fascist, I call you fascist. Bigoted and proud of it.

And no, speaking your mind is not actually permitted in USA. Like I said, I dare you say something as offensive about any minority of woke significance. Grossly offending Russians or Chinese, is legal of course, but that's the thing - you are just going on to demonstrate how unjust the fascist USA is. All of your laws are applied selectively and in ad hoc fashion (mostly, according to your wallet size) Therefore, you've got no laws of all. Your system is entirely lawless, get it? What could be shittier that this?

Personally, out of my own conviction, when I see the level of insanity in the Polish net  Russophobia in exhilaration, reaching even attitudes such as "Banderites are cool because they are against Russia", I feel contempt and hatred for some of my own countrymen.

And I feel bad being in one nation with idiots.

Every single day I am especially blown away by the fact that many people do not seem to understand what country they live in and what propaganda they live in.

Is it really so difficult to realize that we have a dominance of narrative, propaganda and anti-Russian ideology in Poland and in theWest?

I am talking about the anti-Russian ideology, because it is not only about direct anti-Russianness, but also about idealizing and attributing similarities to Poles to groups in conflict with Russia. In a way, it is a system of values where the determinant of good and bad is how one feels about Russia.

What sense does it make for people who are too stupid to speak about other countries and are unable find out what propaganda is dominant in their own country and to take a correction for it, and not mindlessly succumb to it?

They do not understand their own country, and are the strangers supposed to understand Russia/China/USA?

Of course, Russia is a oligarchic countrywill lower living standards than in developed countries  also with many pathologies, etc. etc.

It's just that real Russia with its real pathologies is something different than the image of Russia in Polish or Western anti-Russian propaganda.

Many users of polish  forum who often and densely express their very authoritarian opinions about Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, who, unlike me, have never been there, and who write, for example than people from  Ukraine, even those from ultranationalistic Galicia are mentally closer to Poles than to Russians are plainly stupid.

Just like the heroic Georgians, Chechens, or whom us Poles were supporting with our anti-Russian attitude.

If we keep being caught up in the silly dichotomy of “the collapse of the USSR was a horrible catastrophe” and “the collapse of the USSR was the happiest event ever”, we will never begin to learn what possibly was the most important historical lesson in recent generations.

Of course Soviet Union is alive and kicking in East European politics, where Brezhnevian authoritarianism is being recreated under the banners of nationalism and conservatism in many post soviet countries.

It is also yet to collapse in the heads of Cold War dinosaurs in the US who brag about Red Army and KGB.

Russian threat is solely the only reason to not disband NATO and why US puppet countries in Europe spend so much money on weapons

The collapse of the USSR was, above all, a tragedy for the ordinary blind eater.

And soon I will explain to you why - as soon as the Eastern Bloc began to weaken and the fear of the rival disappeared, there was a triumphant neoliberalism come to dominance that was a contradiction of 20th century liberalism.

Classic XX Century liberalism is concept of Welfare State  first found in Great Britain but not neoliberalism. Its actually not a liberalism at all.

And from that moment on, an ordinary eater of bread got the ass all over the world, though to a different degree

China serves dog?  I can guarantee you a fact: nowhere in mainland China is dog served; not in residences, not in restaurants. 

Here is the problem; how to prove a negative?   I have never seen dogs sold for food.

A positive can be proved.  So, if and when you visit mainland China, and you find dog on the menu, please do provide proof. I can assure you the authorities will stop the sale of dog immediately, and bring the sellers to account.

Where you will find dog on menus is South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia. All of which are supported by Americans. So you support the consumption of dogs?

Peace Bro. The message is good: peace on Earth, goodwill to men.  But I suppose these days in America, men must be replaced with something else?

[Tomasz + 1,608]

This year you can clearly see something that is professionally called the so-called Kindlerberger trap.

This is the most important geopolitical event. The hegemon to date is at risk of suffering from chronic, severe disease.

It is time for real inflation in the US. What you have been waiting for a long time, what was about to happen, has finally happened. Until 2021, the US was able to prevent rapid inflation with financial instruments, which resulted in the export of inflation to other countries. But this year they had to print too many bits and pieces, and as a result inflation has gone out of control;

- Increase in energy prices against the backdrop of resource depletion. The second logical consequence of inflation was the increase in energy prices, but this is not the only reason - more importantly, the natural wealth is shrinking and becoming more difficult to access.

Of course, if it were not for the inflation, the increase in prices would not be so significant, because in a healthy economy, thanks to printing money, new projects are created, factories are built, that is, money goes into the production of goods. In a sick economy, there is no longer any commodity behind printed money, only inflation is rising.

What we are observing at the moment.

- Increase in production in Russia. And this is thanks to the most important factor - Russia is absolutely not affected by the problem of depletion of natural resources in the world. so far it only benefits from being self-sufficient in energy resources.

- Increase in production in China. The Chinese economy has long overtaken the United States in terms of size. Since I did not study economics at Western universities, but clasic economy, I measure the size of the economy by real goods produced, which is much more correct than measuring output only in dollars.

Because in China, building a 5 km bridge costs in dollars less than building a pedestrian cage over a river in the US, 500 meters long.

So China has finally overtaken the US. And every year passing by the size of the Chinese economy grows by the size of the economy of, say, Poland.

And the detachment from the US continues to grow. So time is working in favor of Russia and China not USA.

Meanwhile, Russia, which after the end of the Cold War was treated as the German Reich in the Versailles Treaty, probably a bit on the basis of the upcoming comodity boom and the problems of the USA, felt blood and strikes back.

I think that in the Russia-China tandem, Russia is testing the US strength / weakness more directly, and the Chinese chew on the US less spectacularly but even far more effectively in real terms.

The Americans are probably aware that USA is clearly weakening, but they also know that they cannot show it until the situation becomes dramatic because it is a bit like a boxer in the ring damaged by a harsh  blow

The United States has been weakening for a long time at least since 2000  especially against the background of China, but in the passing year it has become very clearly visible that the United States is losing its position and will soon begin to leave areas that it will not be able to control further - this its called Kindlerberger trap.

Of course, not everyone sees it, but it is a long process that has already been started and probably nothing can reverse it now.

Poland should be fighting for its future security in region just right now and do not completely relying on the weakening United States.
