Hemm, i have seen you profile, so you are not Pole? You are from France! So, live in peace, i like france.....

he is Pole ... :) because he uses "we" when write about Poland ...

Hehe ;P actually i'm half Polish, half French (my mother is from Poland, and my father from France) ;) So i can use "we" both for being French and Polish ;)

With all due respect on your personal choices but, I can notice that it must be easely to you to rather choose to be Pole (that way true Western/at least have prerogatives :) ), because after defeat of Vircengetorix (or to say just Vircen- Warlord of Ghets, in original/not romanized), those people of today`s France who survived genocide (in that time more then one mil. natives was mutiletad by Roman invaders) were forced to abonden their native European heritage and under pressure accepted (Romanization) imposed Roman (read Semitic) culture/language.

But, as I said I have respect on any of your choices because you seam to be regular guy (what is most important in any of your choices).

Just tell me, i am curious... Are people of France aware that they under pressure abondened their original native European Western heritage or Franch people believe in delusion.

...I'm Polish and French, not more French, not more Polish (and i might have some German ancestors too ;)

under pressure accepted (Romanization) imposed Roman (read Semitic) culture/language

Not really, do you know the Gauls ? When the Romans came here, they partly imposed their culture, as they accepted to share it with the Gauls (real French). Then France is a great mix today, so i don't know if there is a real native European heritage here... ;)

I am sure that they were Slavs (or to say Proto Slavs), as some schoolars suggest

(and i might have some German ancestors too ;)

Oh don`t worry. Germans originates from Slavs, too

When the Romans came here, they partly imposed their culture, as they accepted to share it with the Gauls (real French).

Not partly but absolutely, you know- Romans were very cruel

Then France is a great mix today

just wait, you didn`t sow anything, yet. Those who don`t resist always mix well

so i don't know if there is a real native European heritage here... ;)

First Romans were real Semitics (by phisical apperance)- in time/and before when Rasena (Etruria/today`s Northern Italy, Padania) was conquored by them, later due to mixing with natives they changed their Egyptian genetic line and become partly Whites. But, they were still loyal to their `victorious` Semitic heritage

Look man, good that you can turn to Western (Slavic) side, being half Polish. Good that you resist, God blessed you

Have you ever heard of the Gallo-Romans ?...

what to tell you man, biggest troubles expect from traitors. Always

But, I can tell you that I feel sorry for them. They are in fact just one more victim of Roman penetration in European inland

Have you ever heard of the Gallo-Romans ?...

Yes, but those two cultures exclude each others and to become Gallo-Roman one needed to stop to be Gall

Its nothing man

I too expect that you criticise Serbs if we accept `modern Romanization` and to blessed us if we continue to resist and defend Western (Slavic) heritage

Art. II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide: "...genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in WHOLE or in PART, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group...".

The phrase "in whole or in part" is important. Perpetrators need not intend to destroy the entire group. Destruction of only part of a group (such as its educated members or members living in one region) is also genocide. Most authorities require intent to destroy a substantial number of group members - mass murder. But an individual criminal may be guilty of genocide even if he kills one person, so long as he knew he was participating in a larger plan to destroy the group.

Oh Poles, Poles!!!!! What are you doing!!!!! Why you didnt vote for Kachinskiys? You deprive us from this key-ally in our european and world policy!!! I am in deep mourning!!!!

Quoting: ConstantineK
YES!!!! Say us that you are RUSSIANS too, and you will be safe!

But Poles are not Russians, and few Poles will lie they are in order to satisfy the Russian bully. Poles have always cherished freedom, and I can't see Poles succumbing to the кацап

Well, the fact that you are not still Russians is only our defect, we will improve!

Personally I dont think the UK would want to be involved, we dont even want to be in iraq!

Hopefully we would sit that one out - let someone else do the hard work for a change - lets face it we get no thanks for anything we have done in the past!!!! just my 2p worth!

Oh what I said? This is a typical position of the effiminate nation....Continue to sit....

Well but who will help us in our evolution? Estonia? Poland? May be Georgia? Ha-ha....heap of hungry european ragamuffins....Unfortunately, you can only preach us with only one idea in your head, how to steal easily our natural rscorces....

Thats all Russia has though. No technology, science, arts, industry or commerce. Its a sad reflection that all you have to offer the world is a quirk or geology. Not much to be proud of there.

Unfortunately this is set to continue as long as the Russian people keep the same subservient serf mentality that has seen them through the tragedy that is their history.

Russians are always looking for the 'strong man' to lead them to glory, but all they get is demagogues and nut cases.

LOL - I would hardly call the UK an effiminate nation - look at our history! I think you will find some of the bravest and most historical men have come from Britian....

what did you do in the past?

if you read my post you would have noticed I used 'we' - we as a collective - not me personally - I lost family in both WWI & WWII so yes it did have an affect on my family and I get a little bit tired of hearing about how we sold everyone out!! There comes a time when you have to look after your own and that time came after WWII when England tried to rebuild itself, when people were in line for food - oh yes we had rationing and this didnt actually end completely until 1953......

I call you Russians to be aware of historic momentum and stop to behave like that other Slavs depend on you. We have feed-back, we are first line and Russia also depend on rest of Slavic world. Russia is stong only because Russia has Slavs on western and southern borders! ... and, we bleed and you make jokes just to prove how `grandioso` you are!

Oh I would be very glad if you give me some historic examples when Poland supported us....Could you?

In fact, Poland did a lot of for Russia and that Russia even never (as, if) nicely (!) asked for help. Poland exist on her ground and Russia is aware of Polish position and profits on that. That is ugly and complete Slavic world knows that. Russia is not biggest Polish problem but, biggest wound for sure.

Poles are Slavs and all invaders on Russia thru history from western side needed to count on that fact. It was never comfortable to invaders to try to reach Russia marching thru Slavic Polish land, because no matter all, always existed Poles which couldn`t accept that somebody march via Poland to exterminate Slavic children in Russia. And, you Russian know that and count on that!!!

Poland, Czeska, before them Lusatian Serbs, Kashubians, Pomerans, Prussians, Bavarians... (before germanization)- all were first line on western borders of Slavdom and were greately scatered.

Same was/is with South Slavs. One would hardly examine who suffered/suffer more and was more scatered, Western or Southern Slavs. Saying that, I in the same time don`t denied fact that Eastern Slavs also were greately scatered. We all have our share in great historical sufferings of our kind.

We must be aware of fact that Slavdom, on western side, retreated approximately (!) from territories of todays France, Swiss, greater part of Germany, Belgia, Baltic (in general). South Slavs retreated from territories of todays Northern Italy, Austria (there existed border line between Western and South Slavs), Northern Albania, Anatolia. Eastern Slavs retreated from Romania, Hungary (there existed border line between South and East Slavs) and also from parts of Anatolia. If we speak particulary about Serbs, from Baltic to Balkan, level of sufferings and scaterings is abnormal, behind worse dark imagination.

You see, Constantin

Enormous pressure on Western and Southern Slavs exist for minimum 2500 years. Eastern Slavs and especialy Russia also had problems but, had much more comfort if we speak about safety. True (!), Russia (or to say Russians!) often tried to help to their brothers on South and West but, also sometimes profits in deal with Slavic foes or faild to help or just couldn`t help.

I think that minimum what Russia can do now, is to stop to blackmail other Slavs with energy (for example). Let`s start from that little step and sign of good-will from Russian side. Then, maybe, possibilities for new agriements occure

The Friendship pipeline snakes all the way from Siberia to the largest oil refinery in Eastern Europe, in Lithuania.

Introduction

rastko.org.yu/rastko-lu/istorija/eknox-destruction/eknox-destruction1. html

From the beginning of the tenth to the end of the twelfth century, the Drang nach Osten (Drive to the East) dominated the history of northeast Germany.

INVADERE ET SUBIUGARE

By E.L. Skip Knox

rastko.org.yu/rastko-lu/istorija/eknox-destruction/eknox-destruction2.html

"Charles, travelling through Saxony, came to the Elbe River. Invading the land of the Slavs who are called Wilzi, he conquered them in great battles and subjugated them to his law."1 Thus do the Wends first appear in the sources.

EVELLERE ET PLANTARE

rastko.org.yu/rastko-lu/istorija/eknox-destruction/eknox-destruction3. html

In the first period the power of the German State was only rarely deployed in the furtherance of Christianity.

CHAPTER 4: OSTSIEDLUNG

rastko.org.yu/rastko-lu/istorija/eknox-destruction/eknox-destruction4. html

The most basic reason why all the gains of conquest and preaching were so precarious was the fact that Slavia was not populated by German Christians. During the twelfth century a flood of settlers poured across the Elbe River and took up residence in Slavia, thereby making the political and religious control of the region a permanent reality. The settlers could not have come without the military victories, but without the settlers those victories, like so many before, would have been fleeting.

Chapter 5

rastko.org.yu/rastko-lu/istorija/eknox-destruction/eknox-destruction5. html

All of Slavia was thrown into disorder by the Lion's demise, and a number of princes sought to expand their power at the expense of the Wends.9 The Danes were the biggest winners, because Denmark possessed greater resources and had a strong leader in Waldemar. Slavia became the theater where a generation of princes vied with one another for power.

Summary about the existential problems of the Sorbs in view of the conditions in the Free State of Saxony

The Union, the Free State of Saxony and the Land of Brandenburg in their relations to the Sorbs

tcm-kp.de/schulstreit/existentialproblems/index.html

A principal problem in connection with the preservation of the cultural identity of the Sorbs in the Free State of Saxony and in the Land of Brandenburg is the lack of appreciation on the part of the responsible politicians and authorities for the needs of the Sorbs that have been living for 1400 years in Lusatia (Lausitz).

Oh God, try to understand please one thing, that Polish or European points of view is not interesting for Russia. We need only one, you must pay for oil and gas full price, without any preferences. And in case of Poland, we have no any problems with it, you are pretty honest, but Ukraine......

As a mah who seriousely interested in history of Roman and Romeion Empires, I could say that this nations (Romans and Greeks) were the bravest of their times, but gradualy they lost all their courage ang lost all their possessions.

Poland and the Baltic States understood that you are nothing more that big cowards, so they are going to let you with your d*mn oil and gas, and produce their own energy. Poland had already come to agreements with Norway and Denmark to import their oil and gas, and they'll cooperate more and more within next years.

You're out of the game, you and your so sad Russia, you'll pay for your cowardice. You're going to be all alone, and nobody will care of you anymore, then please don't come and cry at our feet.

energy issue is unfortunately in close connection with other opened questions between Russia and so called West but, I must say that i expected more from Russia

What I (for sure Serbian public in general) mean is that Russia can not fail as countries/powers of so called West failed. Double standards, unilateral pressures, illegal actions, state terrorism, economic and pharmaceutical sanctions... were/are forced by so called West in world’s policy, in last 15 years and Russia must refuse such behavior in international relations. Russia needs to find strength to resist on all pressures with attitude of one gentleman. Only that way Russia can deserve its position in international community and what is most important- in Slavic world.

Putin`s administration did a lot of to rebuild Russian strength/economy/social sphera/transition but on the field of image of Russia he failed in that moment when he accepted to behave according to savage rules of so called west.

I know, its not easy when you are overrun and, maybe i set too high standards for Russia. Maybe we Serbs expect some `idealism` from Russian side. Same idealism we would like to see in Poland, Czeska... to say in all Slavs.

Only when is really hard, one can demonstrate if one is worth enough

All good have their own prices. If you pay for something full price, there is no any problems but if somebody is trying to get more goods for lower prices it means only one - pilfering!!!

Tell me, tell me exactly what you as Russian think that Russia immidiately can and must do to support Lusatian and Balkan Serbs?

What about Lithuania?

Yes

what about monuments issue?

and what about Polish meat ban?

Why would Russia adopt in her policy pressure, violance and sanctions? Its perverse

If false West is perverse and manipulate with smaller countries that doesn`t mean that Russia need to do the same, to be perverse, because we know that its not normal to be perverse. If Russia go crazy who would be hope? USA, Arabia, Israel, Britain, Albania, NATO? God forbid!

Russia should consolidate and support true freedom, preservation of nature, tolerance and democracy in this world. But first evolve Russians!
