Fun fact: John Wayne died from radiation incurred cancer he got when his beloved hollywood made a movie which was not only terrible, but they also filmed it in the fallout from atomic test. #LandOfTheFree(neutrons).
Warsaw. We would give it to anyone. Anyone? Pretty please, takeeeeeee iiiiiiit…
It is because the book is very controversial. Heinlein when he was alive had probably the wierdest rollercoaster of political ideologies ever, from communism to fascism and almost everything in between. So nobody is entirely sure this blatantly fascist book is satire or not (Poe’s law should be named Heinlein’s law), though most would rather said it is serious. But Verhoeven clearly either interpreted the book as satire or wanted to reinterpret it as satire. Just look at the recruitment scene (and many others), no chance it isn’t satire - even though we now live in the onion world where liberals are rapidly reaching that level of caricature, the movie was 25 years ago and back then it was absolutely obvious…
Poland after 1989. For the 1000 years of history we finally had a true state serving the people. Since 1989 it is demonised publicly 100% of the time.
Lol Poland offered to pass the MiGs to USA, not directly to Ukraine. USA refused. This was beautiful show of cowardly servilism and exposed both Poland and USA positions in the conflict for all to see.
That apparently was not US govt proposal though? It was at first mentioned as idea by Josep Borell and was about all postsocialist countries still having soviet planes, and then it was repeated by Zelensky. The polish command responded there is no such proposal and denied there is anything in it. Then PM Morawiecki said Poland will not pass the planes to Ukraine since they are not part of the war, but to the US, for which Pentagon replied it won’t be possible. They later asked Nuland about that and she said it was polish proposal.
