Maybe it is connected somehow to something that I've started to notice very strongly recently: hatred of Poles toward Poland. I must say that this is starting to be very noticeable, even started to observe this kind of behavior in my close family. For example, today's WhatsApp message that I received from a friend (a Pole). We were discussing Ukraine, and I wanted to subtly challenge his position about Polish nationalist organizations and Azov (which he thinks are the same, never mind modern weapons and NATO training):For me personally, it is shocking that Duda(Juda as we call him in Poland) is knowingly lying and pretending to the Poles as a patriot. He is aware of the alleged threat from Russia and is thoroughly aware of it. Who do you have to be to be able to lie in front of 38 million Poles in Poland and 12 million abroad and still count on an act of favor from the nation in case of a slip-up while collecting , "30 pieces of silver" every month for almost 4 years?

I can understand the propaganda part that the media are feeding him (and he's too lazy to search for information by himself, a MENSA member), but how he came to the conclusion that Poles are killing Europeans? And that wasn't the first message of his alluding to the fact that Poland is destroying Europe.I understand that these organized Ukrainian militias stole from Russian parents and transported to Ukraine at least a hundred children, just like yours or mine, they raped several infants to death (women are not even worth mentioning), so there was no choice but to respond at least with the same . I think that Poles are poisoning Europe, in reality hundreds of thousands of people die faster, so it would be best to start gassing them again with this logic. I hope you're not getting into politics

The other time I was discussing the startup scene in Poland, and that there is a "glass ceiling" regarding lack of financing and business connections compared to the rest of Europe (I was a shareholder in two startups and also knew the local startup scene). My interlocutors (with zero experience in the field) told me, that I'm totally wrong, and it is the problem of the "Polish mentality", nothing more. I can go on and on, but the thing is that you can observe a passive-aggressive hatred towards Poland and everything that is Polish in a large part of the population. This became very visible after a few years of the Law and Justice party's "divide and conquer" ruling strategy. Has anybody noticed something similar? Maybe that's why Duda is fine with lying - he simply contempts his voters.
EU parliament brands Russia ‘state sponsor of terrorism’
"It also urged EU members to initiate “a comprehensive international isolation” of Russia and “to swiftly complete its work on a ninth sanctions package.”

Authorities warn against alternative heat sources: 'If it goes wrong, it goes really wrong'
The head physician at Rigshospitalet's burns department fears that more people will be injured in the attempt to reduce the electricity bill.
Can you use the patio heater in the living room? Can you burn Euro pallets in the stove?
These are some of the questions that Danske Beredskaber must answer no to when people contact them. Because when the temperature drops and the price of energy rises, more people start to think about alternative methods of heating the home.
But not all methods are equally smart, says Bjarne Nigaard, head of the secretariat in Danske Beredskaber.
- At the moment, we get a lot of questions from people who want to think about alternatives to how they heat their home. Even though we are heading towards winter, it is not something we experience every year, he says.
We have some patients who are sedated, so we don't know what actually happened there.
RIKKE HOLMGAARD, CHIEF DOCTOR
According to Bjarne Nisgaard, there is no doubt that the high electricity prices are contributing to the many questions.
- It is something that a large part of those who contact us give us an insight into. You are trying to get through what must be said to be a cold time, he says.

Yes, Winter in Kharkov is cold and often humid. With a few degrees below zero, and 85 % relative humidity, even drying a towel would take time.In short, he's coping well enough, but he describes a demoralizing effect it's having on the population. I do sympathize with ordinary Ukrainians - of whatever political persuasion. It's going to be a hell of a winter for them.

It is the first time that images of the sabotage of Nord Stream 2 have been recorded in the Danish economic zone.
At the end of September, the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline was destroyed, and we are still waiting for a valid answer when it comes to the question of the reason behind it.
New images, which TV 2 Bornholm filmed on Thursday of the gas pipeline in the Danish economic zone, however, show that it is coordinated explosions that have sabotaged the gas pipeline.
This is what military analyst at the University of Copenhagen Jens Wenzel Kristoffersen assesses based on the recordings.

- If we remember the first pictures of the northern blasts (near Sweden, ed.), then it looks to me like it's something approximately the same. This may indicate that it is the same operator that has been at stake, he says.
It is the second time that pictures have been taken of the damaged gas line 80 meters below sea level in the Baltic Sea, but the first time from the Danish zone.
Jens Wenzel Kristoffersen's assessment agrees with similar images from the Swedish zone that were published barely a month and a half ago.
- There is no doubt whatsoever that this is sabotage. The explosion looks the same, and the Swedes have said that remnants of an explosive substance have been found on some of the remains that have been picked up and examined, he emphasizes.
The Danish Maritime Authority has given permission to film the area, located approximately 25 kilometers from Dueodde on Bornholm, as Danish authorities have completed their investigation on the seabed.
Investigation underway
However, who was behind the explosions on the two Russian Nord Stream pipelines to Germany and how they did it is still being investigated.
Responsibility for the investigation has been placed with the Copenhagen Police, which cooperates with German authorities, but they keep their cards close to their bodies - with good reason, says Jens Wenzel Kristoffersen.
- We are missing the smoking gun – this piece of fragment that finally proves that it is one or another kind of actor who is behind it. This is probably why nothing has been reported from the authorities, he says.
At first Sweden was also part of the investigation, but they withdrew out of fear for 'the security of the kingdom'. In October it was heard from the Swedes that there was sabotage on both Nord Stream 1 and 2.
And in mid-November, Sweden confirmed that they had found remnants of explosives and thus concluded that it was a deliberate act.
Russia itself asked for access to the investigations, and they themselves deny having a hand in the game.
Although before the election the Danish government officially refused to speculate on who might be behind the sabotage, the government still refused to let the Russians have access to the investigation.
TV 2's defense correspondent Anders Lomholt has previously said that people in the West believe that Russia is behind the explosions.
It has not been possible for TV 2 to get in touch with the Copenhagen Police on Thursday.
As if a comment to Gonzalo Lira, there was an FB post commenting on the situation in Kiev:In short, he's coping well enough, but he describes a demoralizing effect it's having on the population. I do sympathize with ordinary Ukrainians - of whatever political persuasion. It's going to be a hell of a winter for them.
Gonzalo Lira mentioned that he did not know what was going on, since there was no internet. I think his situation is one where a battery radio would be helpful. FM waves, if transmitted, can be received if there is electricity at the station, but the reception distance is usually low, so unless there is a generator there would be no signal. AM radio transmitters usually have a much larger reception distance, more so during the night due to reflection of the waves in the atmosphere.The picture from Kiev's home (no light and no heat for several hours). For 8 years, the inhabitants of Donbass had no light, heat, and they were bombed by the Ukrainian army. Now in Kiev there is no water, no heat and gas. Today, a Danish journalist from TV2 in Kiev answered the question of what Ukrainians now hope for: 'all Ukrainians are ready to hold out until the last.' That's what the Danish journalist thinks! But this is not true! Now the majority of people in Kiev that the war will end soon and if the Russians win, they will also accept it. And some will even be very happy that these Russians can free them from Zelensky and his junta. People in Kiev will live, they are afraid that be persecuted, and they will not tell the truth to a Danish journalist, who is just a fool, because it is senseless for a Ukrainian to die for NATO.
