Paweł Sokala. Poorly educated, backward, small town CEE dweller weaving personal nodes of memory. I don't respond well to being lectured to by hypocrites.

Ten fragment przemówienia Prezydenta RP nt. antypaństwowej działalności koterii znanej jako Konferencja Ambasadorów odbił się moim zdaniem w przestrzeni publicznej zbyt słabym echem. A personalia osób, które wzięły w 2021 r. udział w ataku hybrydowym na Polskę przygotowującym grunt pod inwazję Ukrainy realizując cele służb Federacji Rosyjskiej i Białorusi nie powinny zostać zapomniane.

Określanie obrony polskich granic jako "zbrodni międzynarodowej", wezwanie żołnierzy i funkcjonariuszy Straży Granicznej do odmowy wykonania rozkazów w trakcie ataku na nasz kraj i kierowanie pod ich adresem gróźb - wszystko to było aktem wojny hybrydowej wymierzonej w nas wszystkich. Dlatego bez względu na to, czy robili to jako świadomi płatni zaprzańcy, czy jako pożyteczni idioci Putina - każdy z nich bez wyjątku okazał się asem w talii zagrywek służb specjalnych Federacji Rosyjskiej i w związku z tym zasługuje na uwiecznienie spersonalizowaną kartą zasługi.

Rozpoczynam więc mini cykl - w🧵 nitce poniżej ⤵️ ukazywać się będzie jedna karta dziennie. /1 Ryszard Marian Schnepf. 26 sierpnia 2024 objął kierownictwo Ambasady w Rzymie jako chargé d’affaires. W nagrodę za wsparcie rosyjskiego ataku na Polskę - o zgrozo - Premier chciał uczynić go naszym Ambasadorem we Włoszech. /2 Image

DW o projekcie 🇩🇪Domu Polskiego w Berlinie. O wszystkim tam jest. O 6 mln zamordowanych Europejskich Żydów, o krzywdzących stereotypach, o Wiośnie Ludów... A wiecie czego tam nie ma? Słowa nie ma o milionach pomordowanych 🇵🇱, za zbrodnie na których nikt w 🇩🇪 nie został skazany./1 Image Projekt to łaskawa odpowiedź na podnoszoną przez 🇵🇱 od dekady kwestię braku upamiętnienia w 🇩🇪ludobójstwa na Polakach. W Berlinie istnieją pomniki przypominające los Żydów, Sinti i Roma, homoseksualistów, a nawet osób niepełnosprawnych. Polaków pamiętać się odmawia. Dlaczego? /2 Image

Ten cel, co uświęca środki...🧵
Ludzie oglądający telewizję donoszą, że był Lider z bardzo szczęśliwym małym chłopcem pod choinką. Wprawdzie jeszcze nie ze szczytu góry Pektu, ale z prawdziwie europejskim uśmiechem na ustach wspinamy się w jego kierunku. Bitwy o PAP nie było. /1 Image Czwarty dzień już nie ma cienia informacji o tym, że Polska puściła wstępny kompromis w sprawie paktu migracyjnego. Jak wiadomo, kwestia imigracji i kwot przymusowych relokacji w naszym kraju emocji nie budzi... Pomijają sprawę zapewne w interesie społecznym. Ważnym. /2 Image

This👇 nostalgic piece on history of the Jamal pipeline construction in Berliner Zeitung will really make you underst... no(!) - FEEL, how big waste it is for the magnificent feat of engineering to lay idle.
(Warning - irony dense❗️ 🇩🇪 reset prep propaganda is in full swing)🧵 /1 Image You'll feel how the pipelines connecting 🇩🇪&🇷🇺 represent not only enormous material value, but also work ethic, hard labor and entire biographies of the whole generation of once young, adventurous Germans. And you'll empathize with their pain caused by the pipeline shutdown./2 Image

We all suspected Gerhard Schröder was in Putin's pocket long before stepping down from the Chancellor's office (2005). Now ARD's Moscow correspondent Udo Lielischkies reveals Gazprom(‼️) offered him to do a "homestory" (positive publicity) piece on Schröder in 2004(‼️). /1
Image Lielischkies refused, because: "It became clear that Gazprom and the Kremlin wanted to control the material." But the mantle was ultimately picked up by... no other than Hubert Seipel, recently revealed to have received rich subsidy from the Kremlin.👇 /2

In my old🧵on German strategic culture👇 I tried to pin down a certain mental map carried by German statesmen in relation to CEE & Russia. I couldn't ask for a better illustration of my concept than this 2017 statement by Wolfgang Ischinger. 1/4 It holds so much more than just an incidental, strictly contextualized, historical value. Ischinger held such notable posts as a Deputy MoFA, ambassador to US & UK, and chairman of the Munich Security Conference. He is a quintessential example of a 🇩🇪 diplomat/ strategist. 2/4

A truly HISTORIC(!) day for 🇵🇱 defense. We don't know the worth of all the deals made, but the total value is no doubt significantly over record level of 100bln PLN (24bln USD). More contracts expected tomorrow. Few examples in the 🧵:

The Battle of Warsaw began.
The Red Army preparing to storm the city and establish the 🇵🇱 Soviet Republic gets shattered by a decisive 🇵🇱 counterattack. Victory secured the independence of 🇵🇱 & the Baltic states and stopped the westward march of communism. /1 Image It's a surprisingly little known fact, that the battle of Warsaw, which decided fate of interwar CEE and shaped the future of Soviet communism, was won in large part thanks to 🇵🇱 ingenuity and advantage worked out not on the field of battle, but by... cryptography... /2 Image

OTD - June 26, 1945
Signing ceremony of the 🇺🇳 Charter in San Francisco took place. A virtuoso pianist was invited to celebrate the occasion. He began by performing The Star-Spangled Banner (obligatory before every concert in 🇺🇸).
What followed was an act of political protest. /1 The artist - Arthur Rubinstein - stood up, and addressed the audience in an angry voice:
"In this hall, where the great nations gather to make a better world, I miss the flag of 🇵🇱 for which this cruel war has been fought. And so I shall play the 🇵🇱 national anthem.” /2

1990, Intelligence Cryptogram, IPN /1 ImageImage The document was released by Prof. Bogdan Musiał who commented: "🇩🇪 government at that time was interested in sowing political divisions in 🇵🇱 so that no stable, strong political parties would emerge, that could alternate turns in power, as was the case in 🇩🇪." /2

Today leaders of the Weimar🔼 - 🇵🇱🇩🇪🇫🇷 - are going to meet in Paris to discuss the upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius. Originally 🇵🇱 was pressing to hold this meeting in Kyiv jointly with 🇺🇦 President Zelensky. Olaf Scholz decisively blocked the initiative./1
wiadomosci.dziennik.pl/swiat/artykuly… It's wort noting that the recent track record of the Weimar format meetings is not encouraging. In Feb 2022, just before the launch of 🇷🇺 invasion, 🇵🇱President tried to urge leaders of 🇩🇪and🇫🇷 to help 🇺🇦 to prepare. He was dismissed. 🇩🇪 wanted Minsk 3. /2

Dzień dobry. Są takie momenty, kiedy najbardziej nawet wysublimowane formy hipokryzji gubią się w swej pysze. Nieświadomie zrzucają listek figowy najlepiej nawet pozorowanego obiektywizmu. Wyziera banalność politycznych motywacji i ideologiczne zakłamanie. /1 Warszawscy rezydenci niemieckich fundacji harują na co dzień w pocie czoła na rzecz interwencji "starej Europy" w w obronie demokracji w Polsce. Są więc zazwyczaj zbyt zmęczeni, by zajmować się naruszeniami praw człowieka w krajach fundujących ich biura. /2

This 👇 is illustrative of a certain strand of strategic thinking in Germany these days. It's reckless. The US does not HAVE TO be engaged military in Europe. It can choose to extricate itself from it, if it refuses to contribute enough to offset the cost of maintained presence/1 Meanwhile, is was primarily the Federal Republic of Germany that has consistently pursued policies driving a wedge between allies. And not just itself and US. Its strategic drift towards partnership with Putin's imperial autocracy nearly broke EU itself apart. /2

"German government’s reluctance to the 3 Seas Initiative and agnosticism on the Baltic Pipe... suggests that rather than simple economic motives, this approach reflected Berlin’s geopolitical attitudes toward Moscow and Washington."
And to CEE countries - one should add. /1 To any Central European - the interpretation of Ostpolitik presented in this text will be natural, self evident, and so painfully obvious, that almost bordering on banal. The value of the text is that it is not written by one of them. And that matters a great deal. Why? /2

"Of course 🇵🇱 would prefer to move in concert with others... it hopes to set a precedent and draw other states along. Because so far the West is doing just enough not to let 🇺🇦 lose, but not enough to help it win."

🇨🇿 President Petr Pavel began his 2 day visit in 🇵🇱 today. Friendly relations got extra boost recently due to shared leadership in providing heavy weaponry to 🇺🇦. Expansion of cooperation in areas of security, infrastructure, and trade are on the agenda of talks in Warsaw./1 It's worth noting 🇨🇿 PM Fiala visited 🇵🇱 3 times in the last 12 months. Providing 🇨🇿 with access to expanding capacity of 🇵🇱 coastal LNG infrastructure seems to be the next step in expanding the strategic character of 🇨🇿-🇵🇱 ties./2

In light of completion of delivery of 14🇵🇱Leo to 🇺🇦, it is worth noting, that by original agreement between 🇵🇱and🇩🇪, 🇵🇱 was responsible for organizing a 31 tanks strong Leo2A4 battalion. It's now 36 (likely 40 if 🇪🇸 delivers) + 7 support vehicles on Leo2 chassis (4🇳🇴 + 3🇫🇮). /1 Moreover, 🇵🇱 has granted allies open access to its specialized Leo training facility in Świętoszów, where international team of trainers prepared 🇺🇦 crews. /2

"🇷🇺 wants to negotiate!"
