Day 1196
Andriy is reportedly en route to Washington, D.C. to brief US officials about the latest op and pick up tickets to Donald’s military parade on June 14.
We hope he is bringing along a translator.
Obliterating Team Russia’s center of gravity (Shwerpunkt) has been a priority for Team Ukraine since, er, at least September 2022, when former Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny said so.1
That it took so long to figure out how to reliably obliterate strategic targets in Team Russia’s rear could be a result of bad advice from our fidgety partners or faintheartedness by Ukraine’s leaders, or maybe a combination of both.
Unimaginitiveness and sloppiness are the traits of today’s MAGA warrior class, and we should def keep Pete and his brother out of the loop about future ops. The crybaby-politician caste of confused ex-US military crusaders is unhelpful.
The second round of talks on June 2 in Istanbul between Team Ukraine and Team Russia made zero — zilch, none, 0 — progress on ending the war. The sides agreed instead to talk about humanitarian issues, e.g. prisoner swaps, corpse removal and the return of abducted children.
The “peace memorandum” of Team Russia presented calls for Team Ukraine’s surrender. That’s not progress. Donald should sack Keith and Steven the hockey puck, because they have spent four months making the war more deadly and telling us the opposite.
Which brings me to Poland.
Of course, we respect the right of Poles to elect whomever they want. Ukrainians elected Z, after all, and we were forgiving. Americans picked Donald, and Poland’s new president Karol is also popular in a similar way.
[…] Nawrocki is a Roman Catholic with culturally conservative views and accused the ruling coalition and LGBT groups of "sexualizing children", demonstratively throwing a copy of the cover of Gender Queer: A Memoir into a paper shredder during the 2025 campaign.[57][58] Nawrocki supports maintaining close ties between the Catholic Church in Poland and the Polish government, the broad criminalization of abortion, and opposition to the legalization of same-sex marriage, civil unions or extending legal rights to people in same-sex relationships, citing Catholic sexual ethics.[57][59] Geopolitically, he supports further strengthening Polish ties to the United States and NATO while opposing European integration.[27]
He stresses his commitment to Polish patriotism, Christian values and national sovereignty, and has declared the need to defend traditional social values.[60] He has stated his strong opposition to removal of crosses from state buildings.[61] He holds anti-communist views, and has criticized the Polish education system, claiming that Polish education is controlled by the "post-communist party environment". He was responsible for removing several Red Army monuments in Poland, considered a criminal act by Russia, which put him on its national wanted list. He has described cursed soldiers as national heroes of Poland, and praised Law and Justice for implementing a national remembrance day in their honour.[60]
Karol will def attend Donald’s beano this month.
