Polish-German Relations in the Present [697]
when a country's president is referred to as a potato
So it's true, you are just worried about physical appearance. The president was laughed at more so because he was quite nationalist in his policies, and gave Germany and other EU countries a hard time to try and get what he wanted, what was the best for his country.
The reality is that Poland is not a super-power and it does not have military, economic nor political power to make any demands and threats.
Yes, that is true to some degree. However, if Poland rolled over and let herself be raped by other, stronger countries in the EU, there would be no progress whatsoever, for without demands and some kind of self-identity, then there is no moving forward. Frankly, Poland will never be a "superpower" as you put it, and in your belief, never be in a position for bargaining. Then what is she now? A unrecognized tract of land? Please, don't make me laugh. With your logic, then Germany, Russia and England would be ruling Europe and the rest of us "little guys" would be at their mercy.
NO. What I was trying to say is that Poland should have reliable allies, strong economic, military and political position in Europe (and outside) to be able to back up its demands.
"Standing up" just because it sounds good and "tough" is just plain stupid.
And once again, you show you know nothing about the country of Poland. Reliable allies? When in their history have they had reliable allies? They've been surrounded by these powers all throughout history, and it is in a Poles blood to make his demands, no matter how "weak" his backup is.
Furthermore, you commented on how "Standing up" because it sounds tough is plain stupid. You have nothing to base this on. Tell me, do you even consider yourself a Pole, or a generic European? Are you even proud of your heritage, your history? Have you no shame saying that Standing Up is plain stupid? What do you consider sounding good, and tough?
a) how do you know I am liberal?
b) stop calling me coward
c) who are you to tell other people to disregard me?
a) You have it smeared all over your posts, pro-EU creep
b) I will, when you stop acting like one
c) I go as far as to say I acted wrong by saying this, I do not in fact, have that privelage
