Here you are not right I think. On multiple levels, actually. At first, we definitely do not support US as Polish govt. does. We refused US radar station in our country, Poland welcomed US military base (and suffers from it, of course). We're not in favor of sanctions and threats against Russia. Poles, with their "butthurt" feeling towards Russia are nothing but weak link within V4. Hungaria, Slovakia -  we have no problem with Russia. Poland, with their "Kaczinsky assassination" construct... yes, they are easily manipulated.

You can't even imagine how many people here disbelieve our secret service reporting that Russian agents were behind ammo depot explosion in Vrbětice. Even within the government there is not enough supporters of this fabrication. President included...

Afaik is there little to no difference between people and gov. in Poland. I know some who would defend USA with teeth and nails. How is this in the other countries? Here in Germany maybe less than 50 % pro USA/anti Russia.

There's quite strong panslavic movement in Poland that derives from modern neo paganism and they are not hostile towards them since its inclusive with the ideology. Also ordinary people not burdened with politics don't grow any particular hatred towards Russians. But like it was already said, the rivalry between these two is old. Slavs in general always find some nemesis among their own, its characteristic that derives from neighbor competition. For instance, Serbs vs Croats, is a good example.

Here in the Wild West of Germany, I hadn't heard any of the old stories. Of course, it may be that my observation is a speciality of Poles who have been living in Germany since shortly after 1990. This enthusiasm for the USA left me quite speechless. They tell themselves that all the shit there is chocolate. When the USA then issues slogans against Russia, that's a double reason.

I’m in full support of the troop withdrawal in Afghanistan,
but we are leaving the massive infrastructure that WE built with OUR money and NOTHING for America.
China is moving in & using what WE built for rare earth mineral mines.

WE should have those mining rights NOT China.

Court: 'You have a duty to protect children'
Aussie Environment minister: 'Nuh-uh' (lol... good luck with that defense.)

‘Pretty embarrassing’: Australia environment minister draws flak after stating she will challenge coal mine expansion court ruling
https://www.rt.com/news/528803-australia-environment-minister-appeal-coal-mine-ruling/



Court Decision
The court was told that the controversial expansion plans could see the release of an additional 100 million tons of carbon dioxide
roughly 20% of the entire country’s yearly climate footprint.

Describing the effects on climate change as “catastrophic,”
Judge Bromberg referenced the potential for heat stress-related death and deadly bushfires as he pronounced his ruling.

Australia is one of the world’s largest coal exporters and has not signed up to a zero emissions target by 2050. It also ranked amongst the worst performers in terms of action taken to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the UN’s recently released Sustainable Development Report 2021.

Responding to Ley’s statement, Anjali Sharma, the student listed as the primary plaintiff in the case, told Reuters she found it “pretty embarrassing” that the government would challenge the decision.

“Sussan Ley is now taking it to the courts to prove her right to harm the environment." (oops)

"New Zealand:
Covid isolation has severely weakened children's immune systems, extreme rise in acute RS virus infections

New Zealand is seeing an explosion in cases of children being admitted to hospitals with severe respiratory illnesses.

Experts attribute the increase to the isolation during the pandemic.

This has weakened people's immune systems. Especially small children are suffering."

I would bet that it is not only the children's immune systems that have been weakened.
The whole thing resembles a Medusa:
Cut off one head and two new ones grow.

What does it mean? Putin prefers to talk to plants than to Western politicians? It would be reasonable, plants may have some form of rudimentary intelligence.

@ Zambeezi

Are there already any reactions to the involvement of Russia, China and Iran in Afghanistan? Especially the possible reconstruction aid from China and the talks of the Iranians with both groups Taliban and "government" should be received with extreme " excitement" in the USA.

Or are they keeping quiet so that no one in the population finds out?
