Wojtek Kucharski

W szokującym oświadczeniu włoska premier Giorgia Meloni otwarcie oświadczyła, że „wspieranie Ukrainy to nie tylko obowiązek moralny, ale także konieczność strategiczna, ponieważ w grze jest nie tylko godność, wolność i niepodległość Kijowa, ale także bezpieczeństwo Europy.”

@ANDRZEJKARPINS7 No … już to widzę … po takiej poradzie dzień później byłbym po rozwodzie 😅

Porada 🫡

Porucznik Józef Kosacki wynalazł przenośny wykrywacz min i oddał go za darmo, by ratować życie żołnierzy podczas II WŚ. Zrzekł się patentu i fortuny, bo liczyło się tylko zwycięstwo. Jego projekt służył armiom świata przez kolejne 50 lat (nawet podczas wojny w Zatoce Perskiej)!

Poland might have the worst indefensible geography in the middle of the great European plain, but invaders often forget that it’s inhabited by Poles

„Chce się zrobić z naszej młodzieży to samo, co chciał Hitler, by powstała masa bezwolna do pracy na niemieckich polach szparagowych” - bredził dziś na Jasnej Górze abp Jędraszewski. Fanatyzm, szaleństwo, nienawiść. Reakcja Episkopatu powinna być natychmiastowa i radykalna. Ten człowiek robi krzywdę przede wszystkim kościołowi.

@ANDRZEJKARPINS7 Nie ma takiej opcji … wszystko zostaje 👌

Jedno spadek

For two centuries, the Ottoman Empire had pushed westward, swallowing kingdoms whole. Vienna was on the brink of collapse, the gate to all of Europe was about to fall open. Then, over the ridge of the Kahlenberg hill, came the largest cavalry charge in recorded history. 🔸By 1683, the Ottoman Empire was the most powerful military force on earth. Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa marched with more than 150,000 soldiers toward Vienna, pulling with him over 300 cannons and a supply chain that stretched back to Constantinople. 🔸On July 14th, the Ottomans surrounded Vienna and began digging. They ran tunnels beneath the city walls, packed them with gunpowder, and detonated them one by one. The city's 12,000 - 15,000 defenders watched their walls crumble from the inside out. 🔸After two months under siege, Vienna was dying. Food had run out, disease was spreading through the streets, and the garrison had lost a third of its men. The city's commander, Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg, sent desperate messengers through enemy lines begging for relief. 🔸Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I had spent weeks negotiating one of the most unlikely alliances in European history. Catholic Austria, Protestant German princes, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth agreed to set aside their rivalries and march together. King Jan III Sobieski of Poland would lead them. 🔸Jan Sobieski was already a legend before Vienna. He had spent his career fighting the Ottomans on Poland's eastern frontier, and the Turks called him the "Lion of Lechistan." When the Pope personally wrote to him asking for help, Sobieski mobilized 74,000 men and began the march south. 🔸On the evening of September 11th, the allied commanders gathered on the Kahlenberg hill overlooking Vienna. Below them, the Ottoman camp stretched across the plain like a city of its own, with silk tents, horse herds, and cooking fires as far as the eye could see. Sobieski turned to his son and said: "Tomorrow we fight." 🔸The battle opened at dawn on September 12th with infantry clashing in the woods and ravines below the hill. For eight hours the fighting ground on, neither side breaking. Then, at around four in the afternoon, Sobieski ordered his cavalry to the ridge. 🔸The Polish Winged Hussars were the most feared heavy cavalry in the world. They rode massive warhorses, carried 16-foot lances, and wore wooden frames on their backs that held enormous eagle and ostrich feathers. At full gallop, the wings created a roaring sound that witnesses said was unlike anything they had ever heard. 🔸18,000 horsemen crested the hill and began riding downhill toward the Ottoman camp. Sobieski led from the front with 3,000 of his Polish Winged Hussars. The ground shook. The Ottoman lines, which had held all day, looked up to see a wall of horses, lances, and screaming wings descending on them at full speed. The formation collapsed almost immediately. 🔸The battle raged for 15 hours after which the Ottoman army was in full retreat. Kara Mustafa abandoned his command tent, his treasury, his artillery, and the green banner of the Prophet Muhammad. The Poles captured so much coffee from the Ottoman camp that it is credited with introducing the coffeehouse culture to Vienna. 🔸Kara Mustafa fled to Belgrade, where he was executed by order of the Sultan three months later. The Ottoman Empire never again threatened central Europe with the same force. The siege of Vienna is now considered the high-water mark of Ottoman expansion into the West. 🔸On the evening of the victory, Sobieski wrote a letter to the Pope. In it, he borrowed the words of Julius Caesar and wrote: "I came, I saw, God conquered." He had just saved Western Europe. He sent the letter before the bodies were even cleared from the field. 🔸The Winged Hussars charged for the last time at Vienna, and they won the most consequential cavalry battle in modern history. Within a generation, the age of mounted shock warfare would be over forever. Most people have never heard of the Battle of Vienna or of Jan Sobieski (he will receive his own card in due time). I believe it is vital you are now part of the group that does. History has a way of burying the moments that changed everything. Europe was about to fall. These men ensured it didn't. Thanks for sticking with me. Tomorrow I've got another fantastic story lined up for you.
