I love how such projects always have peak EU jargon names such as "improving the cultural and relaxation infrastructure of Sieraków county" but are simply nice spots where you can move your lakeside kiełbasa grill party when it starts raining. 11/10 use of EU funds, Hungary, watch and learn.

🇵🇱🇪🇺🚒 There's nothing like encountering a series of hobbit BBQ spots built using 7.5k EUR of EU funds by a local branch of volunteer fire guard. Makes you instantly feel much better about your German taxes.

Now this is way too three dimensional for Polonia Maior.

My bet is that if Dems win in 2028, Trump will invade Cuba just after the vote to repeat the Afghanistan situation and leave the new admin with a massive headache.

This is also probably a clear sign that Rubio won the game and JD Vance can already start drafting "Eulogy for a Hillbilly Veep - How I Thought I'm The Second Most Important Man in America".

It will be interesting what happens if the ICC survives, and the next Democratic administration will face the question of how to re-engage with the Court. In the meantime, I hope the ICC staff is already learning Linux and is prepared to live without Amazon and credit cards.

Of course, Democrats lost the mind games against GOP and decided to steer clear of the ICC and not move even an inch towards it, fearful that there might be some swing voter who will be swayed towards GOP if a Democratic admin endorses the court in any way.

The overarching narrative of the GOP has always been that the ICC is a threat because some innocent GI - sorry, DeathWarFighterxxx - might stand before NOT AN AMERICAN COURT someday. This danger was always bogus, given that the ICC's priorities were carefully steered away from the US military.

Trump's sanctioning of the ICC is funny, given that he was supposed to stop needless and wasteful American involvement abroad and instead is following almost every line of the neocon GOP foreign policy crusade. Go after Iran? Check. Infinite support for Israel forever? Check. Kill the ICC? Check.

With a lot of evidence pointing to this being the result of an online dare/challenge among teenagers, I suspect Poland will move quickly into a conversation about a social media ban for kids / school ban on smartphone use.

Hard to overstate how much of this situation, including a very real fear of parents and school pupils coupled with reinvigorated discussion on safety in schools and the impact of social media on children goes completely over my head due to not having kids.

Zelensky’s ex-press secretary Yulia Mendel, who says she’s taking revenge on the president "because I am Ukrainian,” sought out Tucker Carlson herself, then got an AfD platform in Strasbourg, with the far-right group covering her costs.
