Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites"

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year.
The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.

True leadership means respect for partners and allies. Even for the smaller and weaker ones. Never arrogance. Dear friends, think about it.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Trump prohlásil, že Ukrajině nebude zaručena bezpečnost, dokud nebude uzavřena mírová dohoda, uvedl americký ministr zahraničí Rubio. Uvědomil si, co řekl? Nejprve je třeba vědět, jaké přesně budou garance před uzavřením míru.

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025.

President Petr Pavel:
What would be the value of an election held in a country that has been resisting aggression? How can elections be organized when a fifth of that country’s territory is occupied? To call the President of such a country a dictator requires a great deal of cynicism.

Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security, or else other global players will decide about our future. Not necessarily in line with our own interest. This plan must be prepared now. There’s no time to lose.

Václav Havel byl před 35 lety zvolen československým prezidentem, když před tím strávil několik let ve vězení pro své morálně pevné postoje. O 35 let později se už podruhé dere do čela vlady morálně zbankrotované individuum, které drze mluví o nové totalitě.

Máme u nás řadu politických podnikatelů, kteří založili svoji politiku na apokalyptickém vykreslování situace v ČR—zemi, kde se žije relativně dobře. Toto strašení se vyplácí. Pobírají poslanecké či europoslanecké platy, jejich strany milióny od státu. No nekupte to!

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.
