- Unbelievably Poland was invaded by nazis again. - It was inside job this time 
- ruskies are not at the gate just yet. - Well, attacks can come from within with support from outside. 
- Kaliningrad… - Most of the forces from Kaliningrad are in Ukraine. - You know. If power hungry imperialistic NATO westoids wanted to grab it, now would be the time. Especially since there are nukes there. - But for some reason no one wants it. 
 
- But they did just elect a man who will throw open the gates when Russia is. 
 
 
- Is he going to repeat Macron’s masterful gambit from last year? - Allegedly, Tusk’s response to his protégé losing presidential election to a far-right gangster is making a universally disliked far-right lawyer his Secretary of Justice to replace a mediocre minister, but popular human rights activist. So even worse - Wow. 
 
- Scratch a Liberal and a Fascist bleeds. 
 
- Isn’t this a bit of an overreaction for an election that was decided by fewer than 400,000 votes? Why even look for symbolic support when the “loss” you suffered was within 1% of the other guy? - Yes and no. Current coalition government does not have enough votes to overturn presidential veto, making it impossible to pass any bill level laws that president does not agree to. - In my opinion he’s polling to see if they just want to wing it and submit the “popular” bills and blame all on the president if he vetoes. - They can also try and govern with lower level acts like decrees which do not require presidential signature and therefore are not subject to vetoes. - That has a drawback of affecting mostly cosmetic changes, and with parliamentary elections in 2 years might be deadly to the coalition. Especially with growing far right support, in the first round of the presidential election far right candidates got over 51% of the votes.
