Dutch Patriot batteries to remain in Poland — Defence Minister confirms

Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed at the Ankara summit that Dutch Patriot air-defence batteries will remain stationed in Poland. The decision means the Netherlands will continue to support Poland's air-defence capabilities. The confirmation comes amid ongoing efforts to strengthen NATO's eastern flank.

Should Poland aim to replace the Dutch Patriots with its own air-defence systems?

Trump promised a foreign investment boom — obstacles are mounting

The Trump administration promised a surge in foreign direct investment into the United States, partly driven by tariff pressure pushing companies to produce locally. However, regulatory and political uncertainty are pushing capital away, making the promise harder to deliver. The overall picture is mixed: tariffs have drawn some investment, but broader conditions are deterring others.

Is Trump's tariff policy effectively attracting foreign investment to the US?

Olives support heart health — why you should add them to daily meals

Olives, often dismissed as mere garnish or a cheeseboard snack, contain compounds beneficial for heart and cardiovascular health. Eaten regularly, they fit naturally into the Mediterranean diet, widely regarded as one of the most heart-friendly eating patterns. They do not replace a balanced diet but are a valuable addition to everyday meals.

Should olives be a regular part of your daily diet?

How to adapt homes for heatwaves without air conditioning

Many European homes, particularly in Germany, were not built to cope with heatwaves, making adaptation increasingly urgent. Experts say air conditioning is not the best solution; instead, measures such as external blinds, night ventilation, thermal insulation and green roofs are recommended for existing buildings. Rethinking how homes are built and retrofitted has become a pressing issue as climate change intensifies.

Is air conditioning the wrong solution for keeping homes cool in heatwaves?

Stephen Wolfram argues computation, not physics, explains the universe

Mathematician and complexity theorist Stephen Wolfram argues that computation — not physics — is the fundamental explanation for reality. His framework claims to explain why evolution never gets stuck, how free will exists in a deterministic universe, and why the laws of physics take the form they do. The discussion is featured on Big Think.

Can computation replace physics as the fundamental explanation of the universe?

MEP Zajączkowska-Hernik spreads five false claims about HPV vaccine

Konfederacja MEP Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik claimed the HPV vaccine is a medical experiment that causes infertility and is banned in many countries. In reality, the HPV vaccine is approved and recommended by health authorities worldwide, and claims linking it to infertility are not supported by scientific evidence. The piece fact-checks and debunks five specific false or misleading statements made by the MEP.

Should MEPs be held accountable for spreading medical disinformation?

Poland's military aid to Ukraine was strategic — not scrap metal

Poland's military equipment deliveries to Ukraine in the early phase of the war were widely described in public discourse as "scrap metal," but the author argues they were a genuine strategic contribution. The hardware provided Ukraine with time, firepower and mobility during a critical period. By allowing this belittling narrative to dominate, Poland has undersold its own role in both Ukrainian and regional security.

Should Poland more actively promote its military contribution to Ukraine's defence?
