— IF POLAND DOES NOT JOIN REAL SECURITY GUARANTEES FOR UKRAINE TODAY, IN A FEW YEARS IT MAY HAVE RUSSIAN TROOPS ON ITS BORDER – JĘDRZEJ BIELECKI IN RZ: “For this reason too, election arguments must take a backseat. Let us admit, moreover: when Olaf Scholz invoked pacifist sentiments in German society in recent years, justifying Germany's delay in supporting Ukraine, almost everyone in Poland criticized him mercilessly. They believed that the current German government's party political interest did not justify hesitations towards Putin. Let us therefore apply the same measure to Poland today.”

— HOW MANY TIMES, AMIDST MURMURS OF DISCONTENT FROM KYIV, DID SCHOLZ OR MACRON CALL PUTIN DEMANDING PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS? – JAN ROKITA IN WSZYSTKO CO NAJWAŻNIEJSZE: “How many times, amidst murmurs of discontent from Kyiv, did Scholz or Macron call Putin demanding peaceful negotiations? And did it ever have any significance, beyond the fact that, as the German Chancellor honestly admitted himself, their efforts were futile?”

— DID EUROPE EVER HAVE ANY FRAMEWORK CONCEPT FOR ACHIEVING A TRUCE IN UKRAINE? IT DID NOT – JAN ROKITA CONTINUES: “And it is difficult to be surprised by this. Did Europe indeed ever have any framework concept for achieving a truce in Ukraine? It did not, beyond hollow assurances that 'it will help as long as it is needed,' meaning until the final annexation of Ukraine by the Muscovites. Did Europe, after February 24, 2022, make an effort to find the political and military strength enabling it to guarantee Ukraine's independence? Today, even the most 'pro-European' newspapers, such as 'The Guardian,' openly mock the supposedly groundbreaking 'European Strategic Compass' of 2022, which was meant to make Europe a security superpower. 'If the European Commission's photocopiers could win wars, Moscow would have surrendered long ago,' a sensible commentator for that newspaper now remarks sarcastically.”

— EUROPE CAN ONLY WATCH AND PETULANTLY SULK THAT IT IS NOT SITTING AT A TABLE IT IMAGINED FOR ITSELF – JAN ROKITA'S CONCLUSION: “No one knows today what consequences Trump's risky steps regarding peace in Ukraine will bring, in his style, starting with business-like flattery towards the Kremlin tyrant. But one thing is certain: it is America that arbitrarily, in a style befitting ancient imperial Rome, takes responsibility for their success or their entirely probable failure. Trump knows that the role of a great power also involves taking great risks. Europe can only watch and petulantly sulk that it is not sitting at a table it imagined for itself.”

— EUROPE HAS DROPPED TO THE THIRD LEAGUE. DONALD TRUMP IS RIGHT – BARTEK GODUSŁAWSKI IN BUSINESS INSIDER: “Over-regulated, focused on building a welfare state on credit, dependent on technology purchases from the US, handing over production to China, and defenseless not only against Russia's hybrid attacks, Europe has found itself perhaps at the most difficult moment since World War II. Donald Trump showed European leaders that they are not partners for him in solving any problems. He is right, and instead of being offended by the USA, it is time to take the future into our own hands. The alternative to playing in the league of superpowers is being a living museum, to which the Chinese, Arabs, or Americans will come for excursions.”

— WILL WE GET STUCK IN THE LOWER LEAGUE FOR YEARS? – GODUSŁAWSKI FURTHER IN BI: “For the United States, the world's first league is China and perhaps soon India. In the second league, for now, play the Arab sheikhs or Israel. Europe, on the other hand, has dropped to the third league, and Donald Trump wants us to pay him for security. The USA is transitioning from the role of a global policeman towards a private security agency. If Europe does not restore the competitiveness of its economy, does not focus on further integration, does not force EU financial institutions to finance modernization and the strengthening of the army and arms production, we will get stuck in a lower league for years. Our security and development will be decided in Washington, Riyadh, or Moscow. Donald Trump's policy is not the end of the world; it could be the beginning of a path for Europe to advance to the global elite league.”

— TRUMP'S NEGOTIATIONS WITH PUTIN WILL SHAKE THE POLISH LABOR MARKET – KRZYSZTOF A. KOWALCZYK IN RZ: “Lasting peace will encourage a significant portion of the 800,000 Ukrainians working in Poland to return. Unstable peace, with the risk of further war, will keep them here, but may prompt Polish authorities to reinstate conscription.”

— THE CHURCH INTERESTS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, THIS IS THE FIRST CONCLUSION FROM RESEARCH COMMISSIONED BY PO – ARKADIUSZ GRUSZCZYŃSKI IN GW: “The church interests absolutely no one. That is, people who will vote for us or are undecided on whom to cast their vote for in the elections, attend mass twice a year: on Christmas Eve and for Blessing of the Food,” one of the parliamentarians vividly describes. This is the first conclusion from research commissioned by PO – at this stage of the election campaign, Poles are not ignited by topics related to the Catholic Church.”

— THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC FOR UNDECIDED VOTERS IS THE ECONOMY – I HEAR FROM ONE OF THE KO POLITICIANS – GRUSZCZYŃSKI FURTHER IN GW: “We also surveyed the group of so-called swing voters, i.e., those who currently do not know who they will vote for in the first round, although they declare their participation in the presidential elections. This is a significant group: from 9 to 15 percent of voters. And the most important topic for them is the economy – I hear from one of the KO politicians.”

— TRZASKOWSKI IS TO PRESENT UP TO THREE NEW PROGRAM PROPOSALS IN THE COMING WEEKS. CAMPAIGN STAFFERS EXPECT THEM TO ACHIEVE THE SAME EFFECT AS THE 800PLUS POSTULATE FOR SELECTED UKRAINIANS – GRUSZCZYŃSKI FURTHER IN GW: “Rafał Trzaskowski is to present up to three new program proposals in the coming weeks. Campaign staffers expect them to achieve the same effect as the 800plus postulate for selected Ukrainians. – We want to set the agenda, dominate the narrative – Trzaskowski's campaign staffers reveal their strategy. It is said that the KO candidate will present his election program at the end of February.”
