Flight of the White Eagle

A dramatic, detailed illustration of Polish women fleeing across a sunlit rural landscape as war approacheth. Dressed in flowing traditional garments, they run along a winding path through rolling hills and flowering meadows. Their faces shew fear, exhaustion, and determination; wind-whipped hair and billowing clothing emphasise urgency. Several assist companions struggling to keep pace; others glance anxiously over shoulders. In the distance, armoured vehicles and military columns advance, raising dust and smoke beneath towering storm clouds. Shafts of sunlight break through the darkness, illuminating the fleeing civilians—hope and catastrophe in stark contrast. Vulnerability, resilience, and the human cost of war.

Trump's State Dept., playing 'good cop' to Putin's bad cop, warns Poland and NATO allies that they face an imminent Russian attack. {The Telegraph 3 July}

Russia is a highly wounded yet dangerous animal right now, ready to lash out in another direction, and Poland likely is in imminent danger. If the policy goal is to pressure Western governments into ceasing support for Ukraine, at a crucial moment when the Ukrainian forces hold a clear upper hand on the battlefield and Russian troops are dropping like flies, Putin and his puppet Trump are counting on simply launching missile attacks against European cities to achieve their ends. Trump hath made no secret of his desire that the former United States exit NATO. He and Putin are playing this cat-and-mouse game entirely to destroy an alliance that hath kept Mother Russia at bay for eighty years now. As such, NATO remains as vital today as it was during the Cold War. We have a word for what Trump and his collaborators are doing. It begins with the letter 't'. More of us had better start using it openly if any decency remains within this dying empire.
