Piskorski: A logical string

The war in Ukraine can proceed for years to come. Today, we are little and little aware of its real causes. However, the ability to recognise causality is simply a prerequisite not only for ending this conflict, but besides for avoiding fresh ones in the future..

Therefore, never adequate to remind us of certain facts which we have consistently written about in the pages of “Polish Thoughts” for years. The current war is the consequence of American fraud. Let us remind that, even in the fresh months of the russian Union's existence, during the intense negotiations prior to the unification of Germany, the Americans have solemnly promised and repeatedly declared that their dominated North Atlantic Alliance will not grow even 1 inch east. The Secretary of State of Administration most frequently repeated this declaration George Bush an elder, James Baker. He did it publicly, talked about it in high-level meetings, including with Mikhail Gorbachev. In the following years, akin declarations were heard Boris Jelcin. They were so submitted not only to the leadership of the USSR, but besides to the Russian Federation.

Destroyed by neoliberal “reforms” and oligarchical capitalism, Russia did not have the will, strength and firmness to remind more powerfully of these oral commitments on the occasion of NATO's subsequent expansion to the east. 14 of the 30 associate states of the alliance should never join it. In his aforementioned book on the mission of the United States Ambassador to Russia, current CIA chief William Burns clearly states that Moscow was no longer able to accept the incorporation into structures dominated by Americans of post-missile countries, including Georgia and Ukraine. The reaction, including the military one, was so entirely predictable.

War is simply a consequence of lying or infirmity (it is not known what is worse) of the leading countries of the European Union. Let us remind that Germany and France were to be guarantors of the Minsk agreements concluded in 2015 to let a peaceful resolution of the Donbas conflict. They were publically rejected by the Ukrainian side; people Volodymyr Zelensky They openly acknowledged that they were not going to implement them. Earlier in 2014, it was Berlin, Paris and represented by Radosław Sikorski Warsaw was besides to implement a plan to avoid a coup in Kiev. Just after his announcement in Ukraine, the legally elected president was defeated. erstwhile German Chancellor Angela Merkel However, she late admitted that the Minsk arrangements actually served Kiev for military reinforcement and preparation for the conflict. Europe has deceived not only Russia, but besides the people of Donbas, for which this war began not on February 24, but in the distant year 2014.

We can argue about another issues. We will most likely never know what plans Kiev had on the eve of the Russian intervention. We will not know what concrete reasons prompted Moscow to start the next phase of the war that continues to this day. However, these examples of the alleged West are no secret – they concern public declarations. Appropriate statements and statements can be found on the net in a fewer minutes, on authoritative websites of ministries and offices, in recordings from press conferences. These are so hard facts with which it makes no sense. However, if it is impossible to question them, they can simply be silenced. And it is this silence that we witness. But silence does not invalidate the facts.

So-called. The West climbs the next levels of the escalation ladder. Together with him it is done by Poland, in the rhetorical layer 1 of the most aggressive states attached to the West. This is against simple logic. For it would seem that being a country neighbouring the conflict zone, it is the country that should care most about extinguishing the fire so that it does not decision to our lands. Meanwhile, around the fire burning in Ukraine were gathered joyfully shouting Polish scouts. They're throwing more wood scraps in it, and if they had gas, they'd be happy to fire a full canister.

Of course, their actions are limited, almost nothing. The fire, however, can get out of control at any minute and completely destruct their Boy Scout camp. possibly politicians in Boy Scout uniforms decided to jump into fire due to the fact that it seems to them an highly romanticist act. The problem, however, is that they did not ask fellow citizens if they besides wanted to commit suicide.
