Romania’s George Simion and Poland’s Karol Nawrocki have vowed to oppose Brussels’ policies and build stronger ties with Donald Trump’s America
If Poland votes in a conservative president, it could be a huge problem for the EU’s open borders and green agenda
The EU would have a major headache if a Polish conservative won the presidency on June 1
A victory for Karol Nawrocki, the conservative Law and Justice (PIS) presidential candidate, would be a huge problem for the European Union and Germany. Nawrocki is expected to block the EU migration pact, the Green Deal and the Mercosur free trade agreement, believes MP Zbigniew Ziobro, the former Polish minister of justice.
Finally, more signs of the global conservative counter-revolution. Sky News ran the story yesterday, headlined, “Trump-inspired candidate Karol Nawrocki wins Poland's presidential election.” The sub-headline explained, “Karol Nawrocki had positioned himself as a defender of traditional Polish values, aligning himself with US conservatives, including Donald Trump, and showing scepticism towards the EU.”
For context, Nawrocki is a conservative historian. His opponent, Rafal Trzaskowski, 53, ran on a platform of expanding abortion rights, introducing LGBT+ civil unions, and promoting “constructive ties” with EU partners.
Poland might seem like a remote jurisdiction, but it punches far above its geopolitical weight. It sits all along Ukraine’s western border and is the key entry point for NATO supplies to the Proxy War. It also votes with the 27 other EU members on key initiatives in that conflict.
You will not be surprised that the EU’s voter surveys predicted Nawkrocki’s loss right through the exit polls. What would we do without polls?
Throughout the Cold War period, Polish people were courageous anti-communists even while squirming under the Soviet boot. Never count the Poles out. The conservative counter-revolution marches on.
I visited back then. Commie cigarettes smelled like wet socks.
"Why can't we do that?"
This is the Polish PM taking down an LGBT display. This is what leadership looks like.

The NATO summit in The Hague could mark the end of the European Union. The President of the United States has announced that he may no longer be responsible for the EU’s security. If this were the case, there would be an urgent need to reorganize the stability of the European continent. Washington already has its solution: replacing the current German-based structure with a structure centered around Poland. ...
Let’s return to the hypothesis of withdrawing US protection for the 17 states that do not respect the 5% requirement. Donald Trump makes no secret of the fact that while the EU was formed under a secret clause of the Marshall Plan, it is now part of the “American Empire,” which he rejects. In practice, it only harms the United States (which he considers independent of the “American Empire”). Similarly, Donald Trump makes no secret of his support for the “Three Seas Initiative,” that is, the reorganization of the European continent, no longer around a reunified Germany (and therefore the EU), but around Poland and Lithuania.
This view of things corresponds to history. From the 16th to the 18th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland constituted the “Republic of the Two Nations.” This binational state managed to protect its subjects from attacks by the Teutonic Order, the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Swedish Empire. However, due to the opposition of a section of the Polish nobility and its alliance with the Tsarist Empire, the Kingdom of the Two Nations was dismantled. However, during the interwar period, General Józef Piłsudski (Polish Head of State, later President of the Council of Ministers) imagined reviving the Republic of the Two Nations. This is the concept of “Intermarium” and now “Three Seas Initiative.” This intergovernmental body comprises thirteen states: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic. Moldova and Ukraine are associate members, but it is clear that Poland would only want northeastern Ukraine, that is, eastern Galicia.
Donald Trump, who participated in the 2017 summit of the “Three Seas Initiative”, also makes no secret of his desire for this organization to succeed the EU.
The long game for the neocon crazies has been to use NATO as the instrument to break up Russia and gain control of its resources. This was after Secretary of State James Baker told Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, in discussions over German reunification, that “not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.” Starting in 1999 with the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, sixteen additional nations were induced to join NATO, encroaching on Russia’s borders, with new military bases and missiles. It was a stupid game.
And it failed. Ukraine was the final gambit. The US destabilized it on purpose in 2014, installed a series of governments we could control, made it a ward of US taxpayers, sprinkled it with bio-weapons labs and money laundries, and gave Mr. Zelenskyy the go-ahead to start shelling the Donbas provinces adjacent to Russia. After years of that, Mr. Putin moved to stop it in 2022.
America did not promise that NATO will not expand to the East. I can not find any vote or any official document about it. However, America did promise that, after Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, it will protect Ukrainian territorial integrity. I can give a link to this formalized promise.

Show me the Treaty the Senate voted on, otherwise it is just someone saying that.
while western europe stagnates, you can see the east exploding in growth. to be sure, some of this is because the base was so low after the ravages of soviet rule, but in many such places the output is rising to rich-world levels.
poland is about to overtake japan. (so is lithuania)
About to? Looks like it already did.

"It's time for President Trump to see that Putin is making fun of him. Instead of the ceasefire that was hoped for before the Alaska summit and serious peace talks, Putin is just launching more and more drones - first against Ukraine, and now against NATO.
So I hope that at the end of this process we will see serious coordinated action to make President Putin realize that his exotic project of reviving the Russian Empire has no chance.
Common sense says that Russia did not attack Poland - it was Ukraine
because false flag attacks are a Globalist specialty.
A Polish judge has refused to extradite a Ukrainian citizen – suspected by Germany of sabotaging the Nord Stream gas pipelines in September 2022 – arguing that if Ukraine was responsible for the attack, then it was a "just" act.
...
Extradition cases within the EU are usually quick and straightforward, but the Nord Stream case is proving to be very different.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whose government is a key ally of war-torn Ukraine, immediately posted on X that the ruling was right.
"Case closed," he wrote.
...
Judge Lubowski announced his decision to the suspect, his family and legal team – and a large cluster of TV cameras.
In a long and passionate speech, he said he was considering only the request to send Mr Zhuravlyov to Germany, not the substance of the case itself. But he was clear that the context of the war in Ukraine was critical.
The judge described Russia's invasion as "a bloody and genocidal attack" and argued, quoting Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas, that Ukraine had the legal right to defend itself.
"If Ukraine and its special forces… organised an armed mission to destroy enemy pipelines – which the court does not prejudge – then these actions were not unlawful.
"On the contrary, they were justified, rational and just," he told the court.
Foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Poland “cannot guarantee” the Paper Tiger president’s safety if he dares to fly over its territory.
“I cannot guarantee that an independent Polish court won’t order the government to escort such an aircraft down to hand the suspect to the court in The Hague,” Sikorski told Polish broadcaster Radio Rodzina.
