Poland puts its WW2 losses at $1.3 trillion, demands German reparations

Poland estimates its World War Two losses caused by Germany at 6.2 trillion zlotys ($1.32 trillion), the leader of the country's ruling nationalists said on Thursday, and he said Warsaw would officially demand reparations.

Poland's new estimate tops the $850 billion estimate by a ruling party lawmaker from 2019. The ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has repeated calls for compensation several times since it took power in 2015, but Poland hasn't officially demanded reparations.

The combative stance towards Germany, often used by PiS to mobilize its constituency, has strained relations with Berlin. It intensified after Russia invaded Ukraine amid criticism of Berlin's dependence on Russian gas and its slowness in helping Kyiv.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary said: "Again, we see a majority of Americans who disagree, and so when you are not with what majority of Americans are, then you know, that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking."

So, where is the democracy in U.S? 🤔

AFU soldiers are gradually realizing that, according to the orders of Zelensky and his "foreign friends,"they will only be able to leave the front as KIA (Killed in Action) or WIA (Wounded in Action).

It emerged that Britons could be asked to limit energy use this winter to head off blackouts by avoiding using gas and electricity at peak times in a move that will hit every part of life.

At home people may be encouraged not to use washing machines, dishwashers and ovens between 2pm and 8pm while charging cars before 9pm is also not advised. Abandoning the family weekday dinner at 6pm or the Sunday roast at 5pm may be required and moved to after 8pm or swapped for a cold dinner or leftovers.

Schools have even discussed three-day weeks and classes could be combined to reduce the number of rooms that require heating each day.

Care homes are being forced to take drastic action to absorb soaring living costs such as reducing menu options, using washing machines less and cutting down on entertainment and outdoor trips for elderly and vulnerable residents.

Pubs are already turning out the lights as soaring energy bills hit the ailing hospitality sector - with last orders at 8.30pm and closing by 9pm.

September 3 - About 70,000 people, according to the police (100,000 according to the organisers), gathered in Wenceslas Square in central Prague for an anti-government rally.

The participants' demands were: aid for the population amid the energy crisis; liberation of industry from dependence on supranational corporations; conclusion of direct agreements with the suppliers of energy resources, primarily with Russia; the country's military neutrality; and the resignation of the cabinet in case their demands are not met. Prime Minister Fiala has already claimed that the action was allegedly organised by "pro-Russian forces".

Six in 10 British factories may close due to rising electricity prices, Bloomberg reports. According to the agency, nearly half of manufacturers have had their electricity bills rise by more than 100% in the past year.

Education in the USA is so harsh that you can't even imagine!

In response to the student's statement that there are only two genders in the world, a man and a woman, the teacher said that the the government differs. I don't care if this is nonsense.

It seems that the United States is preparing humanity for life together with aliens who are neither male nor female.

They say this student was expelled from school.

Oh, I've googled a little and found this article. That video was recorded in 2019. The incident happened in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. For me it doesn't matter where and when it happened, it's just awful (I believe only 2 genders exist). Thank you for your comments.

The EU has set up a "hub" for the wounded and sick evacuated from Ukraine. It is located near the Polish city of Rzeszów.

"The number of wounded in Ukraine is growing every day," EU Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarčič said at the hub's opening.

By "surprising coincidence", the creation of a "logistics hub" to distribute severely wounded AFU soldiers to hospitals in the Eurozone coincided with Zelenski's "counter-offensive" in the Kherson region.

It is no longer a secret to anyone that the number of wounded soldiers has exceeded the capacity of Ukrainian hospitals, so now Western countries have urgently launched this kind of programme, in an attempt to somehow remedy the situation.

This is a report by French television. The narrator tells of a boy who salutes every time a military truck passes.

But what a bummer, two girls have also been caught in the footage...

Hot meals for residents of Donbass. Volunteers of the “Food of Life” travel daily to places where people need help. Let the menu be simple, soup, porridge and bread, but volunteers distribute more than 100,000 hot meals a month.

An Australian artist will paint over his mural calling for peace on a city street in Melbourne, at the request of the Ukrainian Ambassador Vasyl Miroshnichenko. This was reported by the 9News TV channel on Monday.

A mural depicting soldiers of the Russian and Ukrainian armies hugging each other in friendship appeared in Melbourne on September 3. According to its creator Peter Seaton, the painting, which "called for peaceful negotiations as a way to avoid nuclear catastrophe", will be painted over and he himself "deeply apologises to the Ukrainian people".

Earlier, the Australian artist's drawing sparked outrage from the Ukrainian ambassador, who on his Twitter page called it "extremely offensive to all Ukrainians" and expressed disappointment that the mural "appeared without consultation with the Ukrainian community". According to the diplomat, the image "should be destroyed immediately".

"The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is drafting plans to suspend operations of its particle accelerators, including the Large Hadron Collider, due to the energy crisis in Europe", reports Serge Claudet, CERN’s energy coordinator, to The Wall Street Journal newspaper. Who could ever imagine in his right mind that a huge scientific object could be stopped due to the rise of electricity prices.

The official account of the national U.S. Libertarian Party retweets memes comparing the president of Ukraine to Adolf Hitler.

The Libertarian Party is the largest political party among "the third parties" in the USA.

Ghost of Kiev decided to take a break from piloting his plane... The worst thing is that Ukrainians believe in this bullshit

Artyom Bardin, military 'commandant' of Berdyansk, was seriously injured in a terrorist attack after terrorists blew up his car.

"As a result of the car bombing, the city commandant has been hospitalized in a serious condition. Doctors are providing him with the necessary medical assistance," said Vladimir Rogov, a representative of the Zaporozhye regional administration.

According to Bardin himself, the attack was carried out by "Ukrainian terrorists" in order to intimidate civilians in the city.

The Washington Post has published an article in which wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine talk about heavy losses during the counteroffensive in the Kherson area.

According to them, the Russians use all available means against them. For every 3 Ukrainian shells there are 20 Russian shells, and the losses in personnel are 5 to 1. In addition, the settlements reported captured by the AFU command are not named, and the authorities do not allow media to enter areas of the front lines.

The percentage of the territory of Ukrainian regions under Russian control at the moment:

Luhansk region - 100%
Kherson region - 94.3%
Zaporozhye region - 72.49%
Donetsk region - 60.29%
Kharkov region - 33.15%
Nikolaev region - 4.83%.

Fighting is taking place in 6 out of 25 regions of Ukraine.

A British TV show offered its viewers a spin wheel game, where one of the prizes was the TV company paying the winner's energy bills. One of the winners called the prize "fantastic" and said it was "a real relief".

Do you think it's a nice gesture, or rather making a mockery of the British people having to pay for their government's dumb politics?
