🇵🇱 🇺🇸Poland annexes Luxembourg and gets closer to the Confederate States of Poland …

The Trump administration’s actions against Greenland have also forced Poland to revise its strategic plans and turn its attention to the possibility of annexing interesting territories. Apart from Madagascar (I once wrote about the options of Benin’s possession), Luxembourg is the most promising country to occupy. With a GDP of almost 90 billion and nearly 90,000 euros per capita (compared to less than 19,000 in Poland) and 1,000 defence force soldiers, it is a historical necessity, and we need Luxembourg. Poland’s rights to Luxembourg are undeniable and can be derived in short and long forms. The simplest way is directly from Sigismund of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia and Hungary, who applied for the Polish crown in 1382 (he was engaged to the daughter of Louis I of Hungary, the Polish king who died unexpectedly, leaving only daughters). Zygmunt comes from a family from the Duchy of Luxembourg, so his (and our) rights are indisputable. The slight problem is that Sigismund did not become Polish king (he was only a serious candidate) – he was not engaged to the late king’s daughter Maria and had to give way to Władysław Jagiełło (who married the second daughter Jadwiga – crowned queen in 1384 and then took over the sceptre). So if Luxembourg were to question the peaceful and legitimate invasion of our troops, it would be necessary to occupy the Czech Republic “round the clock” to begin with – because Sigismund of Luxembourg was, after all, the king of Bohemia, and that is simple because we remember that Bolesław Chrobry occupied Bohemia in 1003-1004 and assumed the title of Duke of Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia (however, he could not do so as a king because he did not receive the crown of Poland until 1025). Given the anniversary of this event, it would be fitting first to incorporate the Czech Republic and then Luxembourg, which would be just a step away from the Confederate States of Poland, where we would incorporate Madagascar, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, and then Lithuania, Latvia, Cameroon, part of Angola, the state of Rio Grande in Brazil and part of Antarctica. The least funny thing about this hypothetical story is that some sections of society and political parties would gladly agree with this surreal scenario.

🪑🔋Renaissance of queue jumpers? (licenses and connection conditions for RES and storage facilities) In the long-forgotten communist era, one of the forgotten professions was that of the so-called “queue jumpers” – people who stood in line for attractive goods. For younger people, it seems like some unfunny science fiction that some goods (actually all attractive ones – furniture, carpets, refrigerators, cars, electronics, gas stoves, vacuum cleaners, and even interesting books) were not available, as they say online in shops, but had to be “waited for” in long queues. Especially for larger items (such as furniture), queuing could take up to several days or weeks, and self-organizing queue committees checked the attendance lists several times a day. The market has, therefore, generated the “queue jumper” profession, who would stand in for someone and then collect the payment once the “queue has moved on” and the purchase was made. It turns out that this forgotten profession is doing well and has been reactivated in recent years in the activities of companies specializing in obtaining permits and connection conditions for investments in RES and storage facilities. These companies do not (and do not intend to) build anything, only reserve attractive locations and connection conditions from PSE and then resell them to real investors. Here, too, they are not really (target) investors. They are usually fast developers who build the farm and then immediately resell it at a profit to the target operator – usually a large energy company. So, the circle closes, and the communist model works without a problem. The question of why and for what purpose the “Stakhanovites” stand in line for permits and what they earn money for has remained unanswered for years. Now and then (also recently), there is an idea to shorten the period of permits (if you don’t build immediately, you lose) and to significantly increase the cost of permits (it is better to pay PSE than the scrapers), but somehow they have never been implemented. The free market and the availability of goods finished off the communist “Stacy” (scam artists), and the current problem of “Stacy” will ultimately finish off the development of the network and the simple path to obtaining investment opportunities.

₿⚡️ The energy market is like bitcoin. Cryptocurrency miners and speculators are massively switching to operations in the energy markets. The change in production profile (solar panels in periods of good weather) causes an avalanche-like increase in hours with hostile prices and records of these prices. A few days ago in Poland – there was almost a minimum of PLN 500/MWh, but that’s nothing. In Sweden, too recently, the balancing market hit a technical minimum – i.e. minus EUR 10,000/MWh. It is increasingly profitable to consume energy, so the more resourceful entrepreneurs build large energy receivers that will soon heat water in a home pond or river or turn windmills senselessly (against the wind!!) just to fill up the meter. The number of hours with hostile energy prices in the Nordic countries is already approaching 7-8%, and even more in Australia and California. So, if you have something that uses energy … get to work.

🐺🛷USA to activate NATO Article 5 in case of invasion of Greenland?

Tensions around the Danish-administered island are not abating. The US president … must have it. The US Vice President is visiting Greenland’s most extensive US base. Staff officers in the Pentagon are already working on offensive plans, weighing up the pros and cons – Greenland is almost 7 times the size of Poland but has 670 times fewer inhabitants. Greenland has no armed forces (Denmark ensures this) and consists of an observation plane and 12 dog sledges. This could be the biggest game changer – about 25,000 sledge dogs in Greenland, far exceeding US resources (and borrowing dogs from Canada is out of the question). The scenarios of a potential war are, therefore, ambiguous. Achieving the US objectives alone would take between 15 minutes and an hour. Still, a several-year stage of guerrilla warfare is possible (due to the rugged terrain and the dogs), in which case it would probably be necessary to resettle the entire population of Greenland (approx. 60,000 plus the dogs), possibly considering El Salvador. Unexpectedly, the whole of the strategic plan has to be revised because, during the Pentagon’s legal department analysis, it was proven that in the event of a hypothetical invasion, point 5 of the NATO treaty would be automatically activated (in the event of an attack on one country, all NATO countries are obliged to assist). Therefore, NATO troops stationed in Europe would have to immediately help Greenland in defence (which would significantly increase the number of soldiers on the front line). Given these considerations, the department responsible for the invasion would have to increase the force significantly, resulting in point 5 and more US soldiers in defence. For the time being, the plans have stalled at the deployment of 750,000 of their troops on both sides, which is stretching the capabilities of the US forces to the limit. The head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, has been asked to arbitrate, but so far, all that has happened is a dinner with beer. The fate of Greenland remains uncertain.
