Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I wonder how long they're gonna be able to keep the charade going.
They will just stop at some point and relegate it to past tense. Polish information bubble is way tighter than even USA one.
Fun and games will starts if:
Indeed, west Ukraine would be a poison pill for Poland, and I suspect current Polish regime is dumb enough to go for it.
I seriously have no idea. I mean they do look fucking stupid and it surely is true for the most of govt but the current dictator Donald Tusk mostly just look like an idiot, but in reality he's probably the shrewdest politician Poland seen for decades. Thing is, he might be only shrewdest for the internal political guerilla and "do upon you but faster 101" and still ride us into this complete catastrophe.
I think the decision will be made in Washington anyway.
I agree, nothing is likely to be done without US approval in the end. I also expect there's going to be a huge fallout for the current political mainstream in Europe once Trump gets in. These people basically banked on US supporting the war to the bitter end, and then providing security for Europe after. When Trump abandons Europe, as he's most likely to do, I think there going to be a lot of uncomfortable questions coming to the surface. There's going to be economic devastation to answer for, and the threat of angry Russia next door.
