News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]

After Poland other countries will be in danger.

Oh yeah... sure... Poland first of all as the hub of the Universe. It's like to carry out surgery on eyes through the rectum. Don't you think so?

Poland doesn't have gas.... we have paid for this gas

Could I read about it? In other words... links?

Why Russia cut off only Poland ?

Why is Polish international policy based on opposing to Russia?

But...but...but...they so LOVE this mantra!

I wish it wasn't true.. :((

Russian policy towards Poland is hostile.

Nor Polish is better.... Agggrreeeee?! :)

Boring is that you never attemt to see things in a positive way. I do realize that there're currently lots of problems and mutual jabs between two our countries but the position like "you're hostile and we're shiny friendly thence f*ck off" is not constructive at all and doesn't any facilitate to resolve the issue. The strength of the whole is in the power of single; and the more of those who care not shutting his eyes on the problems, the better we get along. I do believe in our really friendly future... unlike to you, I guess.

We shouldn't buy your gas because it is like heroine

All I'm saying and you probably don't understand is that Iran is trying to start a war it's heading towards it!! I didn't say they did start one!

And what's I'm saying is that it is highly unlikely. Nobody has recently invaded the US, vice versa the US invaded other countries. And the Achmadinezhad's rhetoric towards the US to the large extent caused by apriori hostile attitude of the US and their permanent will to stick its nose wherever it's possible.

and if you haven been paying attention that I'll just remind you that Iran just fired a satellite in to space.

I see you didn't pay attention to mine post. Launch of satellite is a bluff.

The US makes it as if there're loads of enemies all around and they all dream about attempt upon American "democracy" and that serves for the only purpose of puffing up military budget and get out unpunished after Iraq-like oil-operations.

Isn't it the case that it is Ukrainian and to be returned to them 8 years from now?

Basically yes, it is Ukranian. They just don't want to prolong the lease.
And it's interesting... if there're some ethnical cleansing, 1000s of people rotted in camps then Russia is a heir of the guilt but if there're some military bases, factories then of course baltic states or Ukraine or any other country of the former USSR is the rightful heir.

Surely that's the best guarantee that can be provided, inspections? What else would you propose?

The best guarantee is not to keep radioactive materials (going back to my example), i.e. not to install missile shield.

your military is NOT what will give you security!

I'd even say opposite. That's what would jeopardize them.

My suspicion is that Iran already has the missiles, and is now just trying to get something "special" for a payload. After all, as you and I both know, the technology for launching a warhead and for launching a satellite...are the same, and Iran has just done exactly that, contrary to many who thought they weren't so far along.

I've recently listened to one Russian military expert on the Middle East affairs on radio. He cast doubt on that they had launched satellite. As an engineer whose scope of activity includes aerospace vehicles I second his opinion. Iran is bluffing. They in fact did once the launch of the satellite but there was Russia helping them. Their warhead delivery system can cover for now less than 2000km but as I already said Russia didn't feel comfortable with that and tried to reach a compromise with Iran both in her oil interests and interests of her and her neighbours safety.

Poland should't waste a single euro to build up the army. It's just waste of money and i don't believe it will be any new war. Since almost every continent has nuclear weapons who could wipe out the planet of earth in less then 1 hour.

I believe in Economic warfare, maybe Poland should spend money on it's economy instead?

Very nice, constructive and healthy point. All those "shields" are only pretexts for intrigues. Nowadays in fact attacking facilities "a head taller" than those safeguarding.

First point, the Ukrainian lease til 2017. It was a 20-year lease, signed fair and square. Why does the Russian govt insist on not letting it go?

Oh... you mean the Port Sevastopol. It's about the only significant Russian naval base in the south, the largest in Black Sea. Nobody wants to lessen its military strength.

Second point, Russian inspectors were invited to inspect the installation and operation of the shield. Isn't that a good enough guarantee in itself?

Sean, imagine that there's a crazy professor experimenting with radioactive materials on your neighbourhood. You can come to his place and stare at his experiments as long as you want but this doesn't guarantee your safety.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]

although from watching Russia's actions it would seem Russia's interest is the oil...(also?)

Of course, especially considering that putin has no idea on what else he could sell. Well... I forgot about gas...

John, we already discussed the issue about missile shield in Poland and I'm afraid I can't state anything new on that, but as for Iran - Russia's worried more and more about the Iran working on the intercontinental ballistic missile. Believe me Russia doesn't need another pain in neck however I don't see any other way to handle the issue except for diplomatic. Let's face the fact: if Iran would build the missile, Poland shield couldn't help. Well... there's one more way - to invade Iran right-away but this hardly possible. I don't think the world society will allow to the US another Iraq.

The Russian inspectors were offered full access to the facilities. What's the problem here, Sasha?

Excuse me Sean I've lost track of our discussion. Are you talking about Ukraine now?

Russia is, or was, or could be...an ally of the U.S. as well.

I disagree. Two Empires can't be allies. We(you and me I mean) may be friends, I have many American friends but two our governments - never. And perhaps we will both be able to see it better, when the arctic shelf's developed. The basic american interest here is the oil and they always forget while in Europe the old saying "when at Rome, do as the Romans do".

well, we're angry at the Americans, so we might invade Poland"

No... I would apply different logic. The American missile system located in Poland might shake the piece in the region.

Me either. So what? Bastard too?

America stirred it up in Georgia

Yes, because it's the only way for the pipe bypassing Russia from that region.

Russia is adamant that they will retain control over it.

Well at least that's what the current power wants. Now our media activelly convincing people that Ukraine goes bankrupt.

Yeah, I think it became apparent that the aggressors were Georgia and different parties were trying to make Russia look bad. Now they have drawn attention to the truth and will build a base in Abkhazia. Well done Russia :)

I find it naive to put it mildly when people say about the future agression of Russia against Poland as if it is something inevitable. Weird. That would be stupid. However I should admit that american influence in Europe adds fuel to the fire.

Russia is moving in a strongly undemocratic direction and has used military aggression against Georgia. Poland needs to beef up it's military and get armed to the teeth to protect itself against future agression by Russia.

You have interesting sense of humour. Poleamerican and Lotnik, I think moving to Poland or reading non-american media would moderate your views.

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

Sorry, but your friend is mistaken. It sounds like "rozumIty" or "rozumIt'

Thanks for the correction. I had now idea about how to spell it, I just heard the word and said the way I'd heard it. Equally well I could have said that in Serbian to understand=razumeti. I'm again not sure about the spelling, but that's approximately the way it sounds.

I would say that Ukrainian is more similar to Polish than Russian,

And I would second that as a Russian speaker.

I had no idea so many Russians spent time there.

It's the cheapest. Cheaper than South of Russia in summer. Considering crisis travel agencies have to reduce prices.

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]

Sasha Poles are the purest Slavic nation on the world (if we look for ancestry connection). Russians are east Slavic nation so there are similarities.

Ok-ok... :) Who argues? I'm just saying that there's no problem in that you Slav (Pole or Belorussian since other "slavic" nation can be hardly called "slavic") or not genetically; which is much more important is our language and cultural community.

Pshek ?

Offensive? Even Borrka said it wasn't...

but I believe he ment by this the Ukrainians

yeap :)

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]

Then again, question to Poles and Russians (and Ukrainians) (and why not to any other Slavs, but I try to keep this in shape).

My friend this strongly depends on particular man. Speaking for Russian part I would say that Russians mostly don't care about any kind of "brethren" or smth... last years they've mostly cared about their personal wellbeing. I wouldn't say that Russians are hostile towards Poles even though there were lots of antipolish propoganda spitted out by Russian media (yet those are not comparable with antirussian propoganda of polish media). There're many groups and Russian internet resources dedicated to Poland and Poles. I'm the one of many who are attracted by Polish nation.

Just for your info... "liakh" (derived from "Lech") is I believe the oldest nick for Poles in Russian language (unlike to Polish Russian language doesn't have any offensive nicks for Poles).

As for Ukranians... I guess communists completely erased the boundary between two our nations. For me it's usually hard to say even by accent whether this or that man is from Ukraine or from Russia (even if one has specific pronunciation of "g" turning to "h" - for instance golova rus=hlava cze he could be just from the south of Russia). On the whole I don't know what's difference between us apart from colors of our passports.

Has anyone questioned the use of black masks by Russian police in the raid where the files on Stalin were stored? Seemed to me this is not like getting a warrant and ceasing material but rather a criminal act.

Celinski I don't see any connection between the words you cited and another your fit od madness. Sorry.

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]

I ask this because of my interest towards ex-Eastern Europe, and cause I have notices similarities in manners and daily/social culture of Polish and Russian people.

You're mostly right. Russians and Poles have a lot in common but the actual state of affairs doesn't allow them to extend a hand to each other.

As for the language according to method of M. Svodesh we've got 77% of the vocabulary in common which ranks the Polish language #3 in terms of similarity with Russian (after Belorussian and Ukranian) among other slavic languages.

As far as I know "ponimat" is "razumet" in Ukranian... At least my ukranian friend uses mostly razumet. For Russians it doesn't matter though. Both ways are understandable.

Even though I understood most of what you said Ukranian is surely closer to Polish. Some says it was born on the boundary with Rechpospolita as a mixture of Russian and Polish.
