Remarkable words from Poland's Radosław Sikorski at the UN Security Council today:
"To the representatives of Russia, I have this to say: we know you don't care for the international law and you're incapable of living in peace with your neighbours. Your insane nationalism contains a lust for domination that will not cease until you realize that the age of empires is over, and that your empire will not be rebuilt.
Every drone strike by the heroes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - may God bless them - brings this day closer. Your 'three-day Special Military Operation' can't even conquer Donbas for ten years now. But the potential for criminal, catastrophic Russian mistakes is still there.
By ordering mobilization in 1914, you precipitated the start of World War I, which bled Europe white, and led to your Bolshevik revolution. By signing the Hitler-Stalin pact, you helped launch World War II - the bloodiest in history. By sovietising central Europe, you caused the Cold War. Don't start another one.
We are peaceful democracies, who have studiously avoided actively joining your attempt to re-conquer Ukraine. But we will not be intimidated.
I have only one request to the Russian government: if another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission - deliberately or 'by mistake' - and gets shot down, and the wreckage falls on NATO territory, please don't come here to whine about it. You have been warned. Thank you."

Wow !
Remarkable indeed, and honestly very truthful.

It's even better in-person. Here's a video recording of the speech. It includes more details in a preamble to the above statements that are even more damning:

To be fair, had they not, Poland may not exist as it does today. For many in Poland, the First World War is more commonly referred to as the War of Independence. It is remembered as the conflict that allowed the rebirth of their state after 123 years of partition. Piłsudski's Legions and his symbolic return to Warsaw in November 1918 are central to the Polish narrative, and led to Poland securing its borders after the 1919-1920 Polish–Soviet War. Without Czar Nicolas II doing his part to spark the First World War, Poland would have remained split among Russia, Germany and Austria well into the 20th century.
So.... Sikorski might have been more apt if he'd prefaced his speech with... "While we recognize that Russia's precipitating the start of World War I war was a foundational step to Poland's independence, By ordering mobilization in 1914, you...."

I love the use of the word "whine". It captures their emotion perfectly.
