Boris Johnson ‘tempting evil’ by revealing Ukrainian soldiers trained in Poland | Boris Johnson | The Guardian (Me: Boris’ bumbling bully act falling apart)

A former head of the Polish army has accused Boris Johnson of “tempting evil” by revealing that Ukrainian soldiers were being trained in Poland in how to use British anti-aircraft missiles before returning with them to Ukraine.

Gen Waldemar Skrzypczak, also a former junior defence minister, complained that a loose-lipped prime minister had revealed too much to the Russians and that his remarks risked the safety of the soldiers involved.

Speaking to Polish tabloid Fakt, Skrzypczak said that Johnson had revealed “a military secret” and that “bad words are on the lips” when he gave details of the Ukrainian training plan on a trip to India last week.

“Military training is a matter of the army, in such a situation secret. Let a man restrain himself and think before he says such things,” said the former general to the newspaper, which described his tone as irritated in an article from Friday.

“The prime minister may not be aware of it, but with such statements he puts the success of the entire military operation at risk, as well as the safety of the soldiers,” Skrzypczak said. “Such statements are tempting evil.”

On the visit, Johnson had revealed that Ukrainians were being taught how to use Nato-standard weapons in both Poland and the UK. “I can say that we are currently training Ukrainians in Poland in the use of anti-aircraft defence, and actually in the UK in the use of armoured vehicles,” he said.

Paulo Freire

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Em relação à educação libertadora, o aprendizado global refere-se ao uso da ação e reflexão para acabar com a desumanização do mundo como um todo, tendo sido esta a prática pedagógica dos ( as) proponentes da libertação no campo da pedagogia, desde o início dos anos 1970.

Educadores ( as) libertários procuram resistir à tensão entre o conhecimento e a ação de grupos específicos que, junto com eles ( as), partem em busca tanto de conhecimento e habilidades adicionais quanto de conhecimento universal, produtos, costumes e modalidade. O universal não é considerado superior ao local, ao contrário, o primeiro surge das diversas práticas locais e do processamento, ou seja, o local é redescoberto, modificado, enriquecido e adaptado em cada ato de recriação do conhecimento”.

Wicked Witch Of The West vs Jolly Ol’ Elf

Filosofa's Word

I wasn’t particularly surprised about Sarah Palin’s announcement a few weeks ago that she is running for the seat in the U.S. House of Representatives previously held by Don Young. Young died last month at the age of 88 … after serving in Congress since 1973, nearly 50 years!  Palin, who was briefly Governor of Alaska, and who was John McCain’s running mate in his failed bid for the presidency in 2008, faces quite a bit of competition … there are at least 48 people vying for the seat!  But one of her competitors surprised me … see if you can guess who it is by this picture …

If Palin thought name-recognition would hand her a victory in this race, I think this jolly ol’ guy has her beat, hands down.  Yep, you guessed it … his name, his legal name (though not his birth name), is Santa…

Wondering Wednesdays, Baby Floors, Chapter 9, section II. C., 3/4 of a map for the early years of Phase III

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post is  the rough draft of  Chapter 9, section II A of my non-fiction WiP, Baby Floors.   This part of chapter 9 will introduce the early years of mapping out a path to get there for Phase III.

The overall objective remains that of putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

Outlines for chapter 9 will attempt to match with each section, at the bottom of early years posts.

Once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases.  This chapter is part of showing what Phases I-IV could look like as potential roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us.  This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind  will eventually have each person’s basic needs  met, without taking…

EU triggers rule of law procedure against Hungary | News | DW | 27.04.2022

The mechanism allows Brussels to withhold funds from member states if the country in question commits violations including curtailing  judicial independence or eroding the separation of powers. However, those violations must also pose a threat to derail the flow of EU funds.

The EU Commission then has the option to submit a proposal to the European Council. At least 15 out of 27 EU countries, representing at least  65% of the bloc’s population must agree to the move for it to pass.

If the EU Commission secures enough support, Hungary could face major cuts in EU funding, although the procedure can take months before its complete.

The Wednesday announcement marks the first time the EU has ever used this legal option. The only went into force in January 2021 after facing resistance from Budapest and Warsaw.

Last summer, the EU suspended payments from its pandemic recovery funds to the tune of €7.2 billion ($7.9 billion) to both Hungary and Poland over widely perceived democratic backsliding and corruption.
