Gościem najnowszego odcinka podcastu Raport Międzynarodowy jest Piotr Opaliński, były ambasador RP w Pakistanie, a wcześniej zastępca ambasadora Polski w Indiach i chargé d'affaires RP w Bangladeszu. Rozmowa poświęcona była rzecz jasna najnowszemu konfliktowi indyjsko-pakistańskiemu i próbie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy może on przekształcić się w pełnoskalową wojnę.   Prowadzący Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz rozpoczęli rozmowę od sprawy obowiązującego systemu politycznego w obu państwach. Ambasador Opaliński stwierdził, że Indii Nehru i Gandhiego już nie ma, poziom nacjonalizmu w tym kraju jest wprost niebywały. W wypadku Pakistanu, który podobnie jak Indie jest formalnie demokracją, rządzi tak naprawdę armia. Jak zauważył dyplomata, istnieje nawet powiedzenie, że są państwa, które mają armię, a w Pakistanie to armia ma państwo. W tym kontekście pojawiła się oczywiście też kwestia instytucji ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence), czyli pakistańskich służb specjalnych, które według wielu obserwatorów tak naprawdę są tą organizacją, która faktycznie nadaje ton polityce nie tylko zagranicznej, lecz także wewnętrznej.   Przy okazji rozmowy o systemie politycznym pojawiła się też kwestia stosunku klas wyższych do biedoty. Z wypowiedzi ambasadora Opalińskiego wynikało, że zarówno Indie, jak i Pakistan, pod tym względem fundamentalnie różnią się od państw europejskich. Prowadzący podcast pytali gościa, czy tradycyjny sposób patrzenia na Indie jako państwo bliskie Rosji, a Pakistan jako bliski Stanom Zjednoczonym, jest jeszcze aktualny. Piotr Opaliński stwierdził, że istotnie w Indiach czuje się sympatię w stosunku do Moskwy, ale ich polityka zagraniczna jest już typowa dla państwa aspirującego do roli co najmniej mocarstwa regionalnego. Nie można też zapominać o czynniku chińskim, który jest szczególnie istotny w przypadku Pakistanu. Opisując praprzyczyny konfliktu o Kaszmir, Piotr Opaliński odnotował ekstremizm politycznych skrajnych ugrupowań hinduistycznych, które w istocie prześladują muzułmanów w Indiach, ale też fundamentalistów muzułmańskich w Pakistanie, którzy za wroga uważają nie tylko Indie, lecz także samo państwo pakistańskie.   W dalszej części podcastu Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz pytali Piotra Opalińskiego, czy obecny konflikt będzie taki jak pierwsze trzy wojny Indii z Pakistanem, czy też skończy się jak w przypadku wojny Kargilskiej – na ograniczonej w skali wymianie ciosów? Piotr Opaliński wskazał na podstawowy problem jakichkolwiek potyczek zbrojnych między rzeczonymi państwami, jakim jest fakt, iż kraje te dysponują bronią nuklearną, przy czym próg jej użycia jest niestety dość niski. Pozostając w temacie nuklearnego arsenału, Zbigniew Parafianowicz spytał o bezpieczeństwo broni jądrowej w rękach Indii i Pakistanu. Czy możliwe jest, że w razie kryzysu państwa pakistańskiego mogłaby ona wpaść w ręce ugrupowań fundamentalistycznych?

✨ Shadowbinders Pin Set Campaign - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nydaria/shadowbinders-steampunk-fantasy-hard-enamel-pin-set-series-1 The times, they are a changing. The 'black face' episode of Community, "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons", has quietly been returned to streaming. This after the media made a HUGE deal about the episode being yanked off Netflix and Hulu because of Chang cosplaying as a Drow. The return of controversial episodes from "Community" and Dungeons & Dragons to streaming platforms highlights the ongoing debate over racial representation, humor, and the impact of censorship in media. 00:00 The controversial "blackface" episode of Community and a Dungeons and Dragons episode, both previously removed for racism, have returned to streaming on Peacock amid claims they were intended as jokes. 02:14 Chang's character's use of blackface in a Dungeons & Dragons episode sparked controversy, highlighting a shift in perceptions of racial representation in gaming from acceptance to offense. 03:17 The video critiques the shift in humor and diversity in shows like "Community" and discusses a Kickstarter while condemning Wizards of the Coast for changing Dungeons & Dragons due to racism accusations. 04:56 The speaker critiques inauthentic portrayals of elves while discussing the reversal of media overcorrection as banned episodes return to streaming. 06:30 A controversial episode of the cult classic sitcom "Community," known for its boundary-pushing humor, has returned to streaming despite past bans. 07:41 Controversy erupts over a Dungeons & Dragons character in face paint, leading to its removal from streaming for alleged blackface despite comedic intent. 09:18 The removal of the Beloved Community episode underscores bullying and censorship issues in Dungeons & Dragons, as companies may reverse their overcorrections from the woke era without admitting errors. 10:57 The episode faced backlash for perceived racism, overshadowing its diversity and anti-bullying messages, but remains available on Peacock and promotes the Shadow Binders Kickstarter campaign. The episode faced backlash over perceived racism, but the show's inherent diversity and the lessons on bullying were overlooked in the rush to address the controversy. The episode can be watched repeatedly on Peacock despite attempts to suppress it, and viewers are encouraged to check out the Shadow Binders campaign on Kickstarter.

Everything is changing -- FAST. After five years, Hasbro-owned Wizards of the Coast has stopped bankrolling a group for "marginalized genders" in Magic the Gathering. Then we talk about author Ben Riggs, who is convinced the Drow are stand-ins for African Americans despite the OG TSR creators repeatedly stating they were based on evil fairies from folklore. Will Wizards drop the woke to save their own butts? Wizards of the Coast abruptly terminated funding for the VML program, which supported marginalized genders in Magic: The Gathering, despite previous commitments to diversity and inclusion. The sudden cancellation of the VML program has left marginalized players feeling betrayed and questioning the integrity of Wizards of the Coast's commitment to diversity initiatives. Affirmative action and diversity hires in the VML program led to perceived favoritism and questioning of legitimacy for players who identify as marginalized genders, even those who earned their spots through skill. The controversy has sparked debate about the impact of diversity initiatives on gaming communities, with some arguing they can lead to unfair advantages and undermining merit-based competition. Wizards of the Coast cited lack of funds as the reason for stopping VML program support, despite previously providing funding and invites to competitive events. Author Ben Riggs controversially claims that Drow in D&D are stand-ins for African Americans, contradicting original TSR creators who state they were based on evil fairies from folklore.

The Opal Order returns to the moathouse for a much needed rest and then a brief trip back to Hommlet to tie up a loose end or two.  Featuring: Steve- GM Sylric Tarym, an Elf Squidder "Bagpipes" Cutbait, a Human Bard Dhagmark, Dwarven Cleric of Morodin Baltana, a Drow thief  Timpani, a Drow ranger Music: Action and Adventure by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

The year is 1501 DR. The last hundred years have been an endless procession of apocalypse: The Time of Troubles. The Spellplague. The Wailing Years. The Great Rain. The Second Sundering. The Weave itself has nearly collapsed almost three times, held together only by the efforts of reckless archmages, tireless in the face of the cyclical death and rebirth of the goddess of magic. The rules of divinity have barely held stable over this hundred years of conflict, maintaining a tense peace, with the gods content to remain aloof from the material plane. At least for now, perhaps. For the mortals of Faerun, however, yet another calamity has befallen them. Three adventurers gather in the basement of the Fat Tail to discuss the unthinkable: a god has been slain, its rotting corpse decaying into salt off the coast of Daggerford. Faced with a monumental power vacuum, will they be able to uphold the fragile truce between the divine planes ⸺ or will their efforts ignite an all-out war?
