Lech Walesa: Putin declares war on world. We must give proper answer

Former Polish president Lech Walesa said in the European Parliament that Russian president Vladimir Putin had declared war on the world, UNN reports with a link to Polskie Radio.

He raised his concerns about the situation in eastern Ukraine.

“When Ukraine handed over its nuclear weapons, powerful states guaranteed Ukraine's territorial integrity, but he [Putin] violated the agreements. He declared war on the world,” the ex-president said.

He is confident that Putin “uses illegal methods”.

“Europe and the world bear responsibility and try to prevent confrontation, while he uses his scrapped weapons. It is a very dangerous situation. We must show solidarity and give a proper answer,” Walesa said.

The 25th anniversary of free Poland was marked in the European Parliament.

Former Soviet States probably can see where Russia is headed these days.

Wrong. Russia has been secretly running WWII style animosity ever since the “end of the war”.

Which is what British Premier Chamberlain said. The millions killed in WW1 motivated him to be an anti-war appeaser. Hitler knew this, of course, and used it to his advantage. Result? 50 million people die, had Britain acted early on, it would have been nipped in the bud.

When you've got Hitler types about, better to pay attention to history...it does repeat itself.

“Russia has been secretly running WWII style animosity ever since the “end of the war”.”

I agree with this, but would expand this beyond Russia to include global Marxism. The fall of the USSR was not the end for them. It was just the signal to switch to plan B. If you want to predict your enemy’s actions, think about what you would do if in their position.

First, you would analyze why you lost the cold war. Conclusion - you lost because of the greater economic power of the West. So how do you counter this going forward? You use capitalism as a ‘controlled’ tool. China has done this exceptionally well. Russia, only to a point - fortunately.

At the same time you work to undermine American capitalism. In this you use counterintelligence people you’ve been working for decades to put in place in the US in positions of power that allow effective subversion.

The specifics are many, and IMHO we would be naive, at best, to discount this.

“russia will kick american ass”

I wouldn’t count on that. If America chooses to fight, russia won’t like the results.

They will kick American ass with what? Outdated equipment? A much smaller, and much less skilled and inexperienced force? With troops that have some of the lowest morale rates in the world? Putin can barely handle the Ukraine, if he messes with NATO then he will be finished. Even NATO troops on their worst day are better than the modern Russian troops on their best day.

Way to cheer for your own team, buddy!

It is indeed with a pang of stabbing pain that we see all this in mortal danger. A thousand years has served to form a state; an hour may lay it in dust.

What shall we do? Many people think that the best way to escape war is to dwell upon its horrors and to imprint them vividly upon the minds of the younger generation. They flaunt the grisly photograph before their eyes. They fill their ears with tales of carnage. They dilate upon the ineptitude of generals and admirals. They denounce the crime as insensate folly of human strife. Now, all this teaching ought to be very useful in preventing us from attacking or invading any other country, if anyone outside a madhouse wished to do so, but how would it help us if we were attacked or invaded ourselves that is the question we have to ask.

Would the invaders consent to hear Lord Beaverbrook’s exposition, or listen to the impassioned appeals of Mr. Lloyd George? Would they agree to meet that famous South African, General Smuts, and have their inferiority complex removed in friendly, reasonable debate? I doubt it. I have borne responsibility for the safety of this country in grievous times. I gravely doubt it.

But even if they did, I am not so sure we should convince them, and persuade them to go back quietly home. They might say, it seems to me, “you are rich; we are poor. You seem well fed; we are hungry. You have been victorious; we have been defeated. You have valuable colonies; we have none. You have your navy; where is ours? You have had the past; let us have the future.” Above all, I fear they would say, “you are weak and we are strong.”

-Winston Churchill November 16, 1934

Frankly, I am paying attention. I am quite heavily involved in turning people away from the darkside. I am just weary.

FWIW, i was shopping for a business to make some signs for me. I was in one about an hour ago. The owner was reading Mein Kamp and another book about whether the holcaust actually occurred. My business is going elsewhere.
