> and Iran is losing its grip on Hormuz Remember this is a war that Iran has spent 40 years planning for. Netanyahu has been doing the same "two weeks away" stand-up comedy since 1992. Netanyahu asked every single US president. They all took advice and then went back with a polite "thanks, but no thanks". You don't need to have access to super-secret intel to know going into this frivolous war was a very stupid idea. You just need to look at a standard map and use your brain. Finally Mr Netanyahu found a stupid enough US president. And the problem with the current US president is he won't accept a loss. He is not the sort of person willing to accept he has bitten off more than he can chew. Nor is he the sort of person who is willing to sit down and have a proper negotiated discussion. Infact he's the very person who just tore up the JPCOA seemingly just because he doesn't like Obama. Nor is he the sort of person willing to learn from Iraq or Afghanistan. So we have a stalemate. And a US president who doesn't believe in diplomacy, old-school politics or anything else. And this stalemate is not one that is going to be resolved with more military firepower. Again, just look at the map....

I agree. My grandmother was not allowed to make decisions over her body, own a bank account, or work after marriage until the late 60s. For many of us, it's definitely a golden age of rights and possibilities.

Yeah I struggle to think of a time in the last three hundred years that Poland was in a better position than it is today. Maybe like 2019 or so? And that is basically still the same era.

> but it has proved that Russia is weak does anybody else wonders how this isn't a good old wishful thinking, when with 350+ billions of dollars in foreign aid to Ukraine, all sorts of intelligence and tech help, total and forced mobilization in Ukraine (while only one partial in Russia in 2022), all sanctions on Russia you can think of - even with all of that "weak Russia" after 4+ years of war still controls almost 20% of the Ukraine counting Crimea and it's not really changing? or maybe there is a difference between "not as strong as was thought" and "weak" after all?

golden age was precovid we are passed the peak even thought we got into G20 I suspect GDP increased a lot of because inflation. Been living a lot in SE Asia in the last 12 years but ever yeah in poland for few months. There has been really big inflation in the last 2-3 years and everybody notice it. Been twice this year in Italy, one time in alps and last week in puglia and there is a reason so many Poles go there for holiday - its cheaper or similar price but better than taking a holiday in poland.
