Why is Poland weaker than Russia?

didn't kill close to 25 thousand the day before and deported 125,000 opponents

Maybe even blankets contaminated with smallpox given to Tatars was little bit overkill?

Russian government talk about self-determination is hilarious....

Russia lies like others breathe.

Everyone know this, but nobody have enough discipline to stop breathe.

Just as Russia lies more and more as it fails as a state.

I often read SF books about time loops and wormholes to other reality lines. But looks like I just found one by myself. ;)

You mean like Obama?

reality

The whole place is a giant Ponzi scheme dependent on minerals and hydrocarbons increasingly available cheaper elsewhere.

The Russia haters are a funny lot. You could produce a truckload of notarized sworn statements under oath from every single referendum participant and these idiots will still tell you with straight face that Russia "annexed" Crimea.

It looks like Russia hate is a global mental disorder. We have that here in the US as a handy explanation for everything, elections included. Just like global warming.

I wonder if I just committed a federal felony by "colluding" with you? You are in Moscow, right?

Near Moscow right now. Near SVO airport.

Just to point out: Poland doesn't recognise the 'referendum' in Crimea, the result or the annexation by Russia.

We all already heard about US LNG that is 0.3 times cheaper than russian natural gas.

This makes our lives much harder. Even sunlight somewhat darker over Russia due to lack of Polish recognition of Crimean referendum.

Russia is shaking in its boots. I can hear it from here.

BTW, you have those quotes misplaced. There was a referendum. No shots fired. Nobody died. In fact, Eddie Kennedy killed more people than the Russian army in Crimea.

There was no "annexation". Only in the minds of the Russia hating idiots and the Polish government.

Of course not. And Putin's facelift almost splits open whenever he thinks of the new gas fields that are opening up...

How it is scary to live in this world. They have not only a high-resolution camera constantly watching Putin, but also an implant in his brain that broadcasts all thoughts in a real time.

When countries have the misfortune to be near Russia, it can be scary indeed...

You can see his facelift a mile off. Botox too; he's got a really waxy look like Lenin's corpse.

Sad to say, but Russia have no plan to dissolve in a thin air, or disappear by any other mean. So, either you have to learn how to live as a good neighbour (just like Finland done pretty quickly), either prepare to be deeply disappointed.

Russia have no plan to

It isn't about what they plan.

you have to learn how

Nobody is interested in learning what Russia wants them to do. Poland above all.

Nobody will spend part of their life to teach those, who prefer to learn hard way, repeating same mistakes once and once again.

Everyone have their very personal way to hell.

Russia certainly repeats their mistakes.

Living next to Germany is a bliss because Poland can happily offload its underemployed.

You are funny! How dare you ask such questions! This is a hit-and-run bunch and asking questions is out of line.
Instead, innuendos and implications without facts are the preferred methods.

The funniest part is the anti-US and Trump crap. At the same time, sticking it to Russia while counting that the US will defend Poland at the risk of a nuclear exchange. Of course, they don't remember that the USSR was arming North Vietnam and Vietcong to eventually defeat the US and that the US did absolutely nothing about the Soviet shipments of arms to them.

Russians are lost most of their sense of fear. If someone will dare to ask to choose between horrible end and endless horror - answer will be "horrible end". ;) For both, if necessary, but preferably for those who ask.... ;)

Velund, please tell me that the Russian army is not a social experiment with gays and the transgenders in need of reproductive organ alterations. I need to believe that the Western insanity didn't spread to you yet. If it has already reached Russia, please, lie.

BTW, I am again waiting for your May 9 parade. It's great to see your guys and the Americans as allies

Unfortunately, Israeli's american colony is not a ally of Russia anymore.

And with a limited defense budget, Russia cannot afford all those gayish toys, like separate mobile toilets for all three sexes on the edge of each battlefield.

You first! When has Russia ever been a good neighbor to any country unfortunate enough to find itself in close proximity to it?

Russia hasn't fundamentally changed since the tsars... it's all rule by tyrants (whether tsar, party secretary or whatever job Putin's given himself) and a docile serf population that suffers what it must from the predatory elite of the country...

Please stick to the topic, everyone

Agree. They have no recipe how to make Poland stronger, so they discussing how to make Russia weaker. And how to bury Lenin body as well. ;)

Fvck Lenin, but how would you address the question of Putin interchanging the top post in Russia with Medvedev? You conveniently skipped that question over ...

I remember when the US was ready to start WW3 over the Soviet rockets in Cuba. Today, the US and NATO in Poland is so cool.

Poland is already pretty strong with much lower levels of social stratification and corruption and is integrated into European and NATO defense structures....

how to make Russia weaker

Russia makes itself weaker, the Russian people have tremendous potential with massive amounts of (as yet unrealized) educational and cultural and social capital but tend to throw it all away through their inability to govern themselves by any means but tyranny and corruption... then they try to make up for that with a belligerent attitude towards other countries. So sad...

Seems legal, and quite similar to Bush-Clinton-Bush sequence that is not questioned.
