@KenigsbArthur En tout cas, la presse polonaise pense que D. Tusk veut en faire son successeur. C'est objectivement le meilleur d'entre tous les ministre des affaires étrangères du pays. Il a par ailleurs été très adroit pour se coordonner avec Duda sur les questions internationales.

@KenigsbArthur Si on en crois le porte-parole du Gouvernement polonais, les discussions sont en cours entre le Premier ministre D. Tusk et la Présidence (Nawrocki). En lisant entre les lignes, ont comprends que D. Tusk aimerait bien envoyer le vice-PM R. Sikorski.

The West no longer wins wars.
NATO no longer wins war.

Why is that?
(Thread)

Here is the answer from French General Michel Yakovleff:

Because we (the West) are cowards and because we believe too much in science and technology.

[Yoann Thériaud @yoannt]

- We prioritize process over outcomes. We stick to our rational and methodical warfare even when we don't win, which makes our military strategies predictable.

- We believe that information dominance is necessary. This is not only untrue, it pushes us to delay action.

...Seen in this light, the flag adopted by the Belarusian democratic opposition gains all its historical significance!

History of Belarus here! ⬜️🟥⬜️

✍️ In a recent lecture, Timothy Snyder proposes an interesting date that could be seen as the birth of the Belarusian nation... 😀

[Yoann Thériaud @yoannt]

...That date is 1569, the Union of Lublin, which established the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów).

📚 It was the moment when the historical paths of the Ukrainian and Belarusian peoples began to diverge...
