[Jaga]

This guy's views are so strange. He is on Russia's side, so Poland was not welcoming him.

Roger Waters Cancels Poland Concerts After War Remarks

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters has canceled concerts planned in Poland amid outrage over his stance on Russia’s war against Ukraine, Polish media reported Saturday (Sept. 24).

An official with the Tauron Arena in Krakow, where Waters was scheduled to perform two concerts in April, said they would no longer take place.

“Roger Waters’ manager decided to withdraw … without giving any reason,” Lukasz Pytko from Tauron Arena Krakow said Saturday in comments carried by Polish media outlets.

“Go sing in Moscow”: Kraków councillor seeks to stop Roger Waters concerts over Ukraine stance

A councillor in Kraków is seeking to prevent Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters from performing two concerts at an arena in the Polish city next year due to his stance on Russia’s war in Ukraine.

During his current tour, Waters has included Joe Biden in a montage of “war criminals”. He told CNN that the US president has been “fuelling the fire in Ukraine” and should instead “encourage [Volodymyr] Zelensky to negotiate” an end to the war, which is “basically about…NATO pushing right up to the Russian border”.

Waters then wrote to Zelensky’s wife, Olena, saying that her husband had “agreed to totalitarian, anti-democratic…forces of extreme nationalism” that have “crossed any number of red lines set out quite clearly by your neighbours the Russian Federation…and in consequence…set your country on the path to this disastrous war.”

Of this Mr. Roger Waters, a good reason for entertainers to stick with what they know best and stay out of politics. For who knows how may fans will leave for the reason of being offended.

Karl, yes. This is a sad story and Roger should should at least stay outside of politics. But he is the one who did a famous "the Wall" performance in Berlin, his performances always had a political and social meaning. This is just a sad thing that he went a wrong way.

Folks,

There is a Pro-Russian, National Rightwing Populist, Conspiracy theory and energy crisis using fringe in Western Europe politics and society which is quite influential today. Due to the energy crisis and self crisis in some area's in Europe the support for Ukraine is dropping, because some people think about themselves first and believe that Russian gas is more important than Ukraine. The latter is a fact. The extreme energy and food crisis brings problems to a lot of middle class and working class families. A lot of working families with low wages have huge propblems today surviving. Paying for the rent of their homes, their mortgages, their energy prices and food. Prizes of everything exploded in Europe and many working class and middle class families are panicking Jaga. They are seriously thinking; "How do I survive the winter". Some people turn of the heating or will go through the winter with low temperatures in their homes and will stay in their homes with a lot of winter clothes and winter jackets. The rich can survive, but the umeployed, working class people and lower middle class people are having a hard time. In hard times solidarity melts like snow in the spring. Unfortunately that is the reality Jaga and Karl.

In Italy a far right Fascist party became the largest one on the rightwing side (the largest of the righwing parties). Italy will probably have a Fascist Female prime minister, Giorgia Meloni of Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d'Italia). More and more former liberal democratic countries in Europe move into the direction of an Illiberal democracy, authoritarian presidency or being dominated by a far right National Populist and National Conservative party or coalitions of Nationalist parties (like in Poland; Prawo i Sprawiedliwość + Porozumienie + Solidarna Polska + Republikanie + Polskie Sprawy of Agnieszka Ścigaj + Independent rightwingers in the Second Cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki (Date formed 15 November 2019). ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Cabinet_of_Mateusz_Morawiecki ) Slovenia is hit hard by the energy crisis right now and the government threatens to nationalize private energy companies again. Even Germany has nationalized a private energy company to guaranthee, energy supplies for it's population.

Cheers,
Pieter

Reality does in deed raise its ugly head over emotional and unrealistic political feelings for this situation between Ukraine and Russia. There always of course, be the people with theories about such situations as of the present, but there is a reason for every thing and as yet to Western ears, this has not come about between Russia and Ukraine. For one, to think about it, why has the Ukrainians been fighting for eight years against those of Donbass? And, why would Russia want it? Those as many others of questions have not been provided by Western Media.

Then there is the question of Donetsk Peoples Republic a partially recognized state of Eastern Europe.
