All you can say in this site's defence is that it, rather than reality, occupies the warped minds of some of the planet's most twisted people; gods know what they would get up to if it wasn't here.  In these arguably insane times, any lessening or attenuation of madness is maybe something to be thankful for.

Pro-American Polish FM, "alliance with America worth nothing"

Well, this is unusually candid.  Not to mention stupid as fuck.

Backgrounder: Sikorski is the Polish Foreign Minister, known for being rabidly pro-American in a kind of "Central European Neocon" kinda way.  He's married to the noted conservative commentator and dingbat Anne Applebaum.  He's a noted proponent of NATO and his name has been mentioned as a potential future Secretary-General.

So this conversation is really quite striking.

QuoteSikorski: You know that the Polish-American alliance is worth nothing. It is therefore harmful, because it gives Poland a false sense of security.

Rostowski: Why?

Sikorski: Complete bullshit. We will get into conflicts with the Germans, with Russia, and we will think that everything is great because we have given the Americans a blowjob. Losers, complete losers.

QuoteAccording to the transcript, Sikorski described Warsaw's attitude towards the United States using the Polish word "murzynskosc."

That derives from the word "murzyn," which denotes a dark-skinned person and someone who does the work for somebody else, according to the PWN Polish language dictionary.
