If somebody was a Russian puppet or Russian agent and took power in a foreign country because of Russian meddling in that country’s political systems, he would probably not have thousands of Poles shouting his name while many waved the flag of his country. But this is what happened to Donald Trump moments ago as he addressed a crowd of politicians and civilians in central Warsaw.
The Polish Sejm (Parliament) has just passed a law ordering the destruction of Soviet war memorials throughout Poland.
The Soviet Army liberated Poland after years of brutal Nazi occupation beginning in 1939. This is a fact of history seemingly lost on modern Polish politicians. Soviet war memorials appear in many countries where the Red Army helped to liberate occupied lands from the fascist aggressors. They stand as a tribute to the 27 million Soviet citizens who made the ultimate sacrifice in the war against Hitler’s wicked ideology.
Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko has been in Washington where his visit to the White House was uneventful to say the least.

It seems however, that Poroshenko’s visit to the Pentagon was a bit more dreamy.
Poroshenko talked about his long-time “dream” of visiting the Pentagon dating back to the 1980s when he was a private in the Soviet Red Army.
Poland is attempting to resurrect a dangerous plan from the early 20th century in order to attain more influence in Europe.
The so-called Three Seas Initiative is an attempt by Poland to create a working group of nations in central and eastern Europe to rival the traditional Franco-Germanic axis of modern EU power.
There is no substitute for on-the-ground reporting – in order to meet the people and observe the country firsthand, rather than relying on the half-truths, lies and innuendos so often peddled by the mainstream media.
But there is as much propaganda peddled about Russia, as with Syria. The following findings – from a recent American delegation to Russia – once again, demonstrate that what is portrayed in the Western media about Russia bears little resemblance to the reality.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy would have been 100 years old this week, had an assassin’s bullet still shrouded in mystery not taken his life in 1963.
As a child, Kennedy was something of both a haunting and a heroic figure to me. Everyone talked about the young, eloquent, scholarly President and how particularly unjust, unfair and utterly tragic his death was. Were I a Catholic, I’m sure I would feel there was even some Book of Job like test of faith involved in his death.
Richard Nixon had more foreign policy achievements that just about any modern American President. These achievements however, have generally been overshadowed by Nixon’s scandal plagued White House.
It was an election that pitted a challenge versus a tired status quo, opportunism versus seizing rising public moods in both France, Europe and the wider west, it was about patriotism versus globalism.
In each of these categories the former won. The embodiment of this victory is Emmanuel Macron, but that’s all he is: an embodiment.
To paraphrase T. S. Eliot, Macron is a hollow man, a stuffed man….a headpiece filled with straw.
Eliot’s poem ends with a ominous prophecy,
“This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper”.
In two days, on the 9th of May, Russians throughout the world and others who commemorate the defeat of fascism in 1945 will celebrate Victory Day.
However, Victory Day has been effectively banned in Ukraine, a former Soviet Republic that once celebrated on the 9th of May along with Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Serbia and others.

Oswald was eventually allowed to remain. But rather than keeping him in Moscow, the KGB shipped him 400 miles away to Minsk. He wrote to his brother Robert that "I feel I am at last with my own people." Or so he thought, or wanted to think. Oswald was plainly ignorant about the Soviet Union.
