- Proszę zobaczyć, jaki jest dom biskupa, a biedni jedzą pod namiotem. To się musi zmienić. Ja mogę jeść tam, ale oni przyjdą do pałacu - powiedział nowy metropolita łódzki kard. Konrad Krajewski w rozmowie z reporterem @tvn24 @Piotr_Borowski. tvn24.pl/lodz/lodz-kard…
BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ. The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles. Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough. The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost. And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one. Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.” The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption. The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
Matko jedyna. Pan minister Błaszczak mówi, że prezydent Donald Trump przejdzie do historii, bo uratował cywilizację zachodnią, gdyż odrzucił religię klimatyczną i uznał, że mamy tylko dwie płcie. Po pierwsze, jestem przekonany, że prezydent Trump do historii przejdzie, ale nie wiem, czy akurat w tym kontekście. Po drugie, „odrzucenie religii klimatycznej” wygląda tak, że 90% nowych mocy postawionych w 2025 r. w USA to OZE, a w tym roku ma to być już 98% (z czego spora część stoi w Teksasie, który wyprzedził Kalifornię w tempie transformacji). Z kolei świat pobił kolejny rekord wydatków na technologie bezemisyjne, a w Chinach po raz pierwszy spadła emisja ze względu na dekarbonizację. Po trzecie, w sytuacji głębokiego pęknięcia na linii USA-UE, rosnących cen paliw wynikających z wojny w Iranie oraz historycznie niskich poziomów akceptacji prezydenta Trumpa w USA nie jestem pewien czy tego rodzaju laudacje to jest najlepsza strategia polityczna.
