    Dude’s Polish, in his language this difference probably doesn’t exist

      I can confirm that ‘error’ and ‘mistake’ is the same word in Polish. I don’t think it matters here, though. And I am sure that Mr Sikorski knows the difference. His speech, although often harsh, is very diplomatic. When he says ‘Trump made a mistake’ it can safely be read as ‘Trump is a complete idiot’.

      yeah i meant to not be criticizing him, necessarily, just whoever published this. they had a chance to make a slight tweak, i think, since translations are greatly about intent and i think his intent is crystal clear
