A diplomatic incident has stirred up controversy in Poland. It began when Thomas Rose, the US ambassador in Warsaw, announced on February 5 that he would sever all contact with the president of the lower house, Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, who leads the left-wing party Nowa Lewica (New Left). The role of marshal of the Sejm – the Polish title for president of the lower house – is regarded as the second most important position in the country, after the president.
What prompted this undiplomatic outburst on the social network X? Three days earlier, at a press conference, Czarzasty had refused to back Donald Trump’s candidature for the Nobel Peace Prize. “He does not deserve it,” the MP concluded, lamenting that the US president relied on the “use of force” that often “broke international law.” The US ambassador, who has held the post since November 2025, described these remarks on X as “outrageous insults” that “seriously” harmed the “excellent relations with Prime Minister [Donald] Tusk and his government.”
Tusk reacted quickly, reminding the diplomat that “allies should respect each other, not lecture each other.” Rose countered, calling Czarzasty’s comments “despicable, disrespectful and insulting.”

“Ambassador”, “diplomat” they are just meaningless words under Trump. We need new terms to reflect the new reality. I propose the free world refer to all American “Ambassadors” as Belligerent Politirapists. E.g.
“Thomas Rose, the American Belligerent Politirapist embarrased his country again by metaphoricaly smearing shit all over his face and removing any doubt that he is petty, cruel, stupid and incompetent.”
Fixers is probably the term
But have they fixed anything?
Cool, time to expel the US ambassador then.
Such a demonstratably false thing to take issue with too for the ambassador. The president has betrayed his america first promises, and been involved in wars or military action in venezuela, iran, yemen, lebanon, and syria, and nigeria. At a minimum. Then he’s restarting war with Iran so Israel can have their forever war that lasts until netanyahu can get popular enough to win and be pardoned for his crimes without admitting he made a mistake so he can continue to blame others for his failures.
He’s got the blackmail, and he’s using it, the US and UK are his bitch and we all know it.
But the party was never down with America First, and now the president has lost his mind, in his dotage they’ve been leading him around by the hand working to restart the latin american interferences of the cold war that saw us overthrow and interfere in basically all of their governments at one point or others. Like virtually all, except maybe costa rica, belize to a small degree, and one of the -guay countries. The rest coups, death squads of paramilitaries paid with drug and weapon sales money courtesy of cia black ops, and right wing dictatorships, often putting military leaders in charge after sponsoring them to overthrow civilian leadership. Which is what just happened in Venezuela in fact, if not in law, the military is the ruler there now, a client of the US, the civilian leadership is not a figurehead.
But cuba, colombia, canada, denmark are all threatened. To argue this president should receive the nobel prize is just beyond the pale even for these guys. America First is dead, the party wants to use this military as much as they can, to benefit themselves, kicking back and enjoying the favors of the connected rich that make money from our military operations. US taxpayers just get the bill, no benefit from it.
Seriously, this ambassador should be expelled.
