News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

Over 50,000 were on the streets of Warsaw (police are reporting 70,000)

The organizers themselves claimed 15 thousand, so in reality most likely 3-4 thousand.

News / New Poland's Government breaks promise to increase defense spending [16]

PO kept defense spending at 1.95% for eight years.

You've go to be kidding me. edited , go and check the basic stuff first, the real spendings under PO were like 1.8% a year. Each and every year they were putting 1.95 on paper and then "not utilizing" like 2 billion out of it.

News / New Poland's Government breaks promise to increase defense spending [16]

Shocking news

LOL ! It takes from months in case of small things to years in case of the more serious ones to actually strike a deal in case of defence purchases... So during first months they need to base on what Platfuses left them and they left shyt on the stick. They could either do what they did or spend that money for the sake of spending it, which would be waste of taxpayers money.

its promise to increase defense spendng to 2.5%.

You want to tell us with a straight face that you expected them to find additional billions and actually process the whole procedures of additional spendings within several weeks :)))) ?

Work / Current median income in Poland [14]

roughly 3000USD a month

More like 2500 USD according to the latest FX rates as Dollar got much stronger recently.

will that be good enough to live a high life in Warsaw?

It depends on your definition of "high life"... by Warsaw standards that would be quite good money but from from impressive, the salaries over there are much above national figures.

News / Poland's Department of Defense reports 24th anniversary of Radio Maryja [29]

Borsukrates

Oy vey !

hate speak

Isn't it "hate speech" ? Go and do some review of your commie vocab...

If we let people talk like that about a person who killed no one, someone's going to try and kill him.

So far the only (at least officially) political assassination in post-commie Poland was that of a PiS politician.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

This is exactly why we're taking to the streets

Because some guy got police protection ? Ah these expats...

in order to defend ourselves against Russian-style assaults on democracy.

Are you going to call for the peace keeping forces to step in :))))) ?

Life / Welcome to Poland ! (Stay away for your own sake) [239]

When somebody stares...

Yeah, you just shout "stop staring ! I'm an expat !" and If they still do (which rarely happens, most just run away in shock at this point) you just shoot a laser attached to your right hand "Pew ! Pew !" and it's all over... no more staring...

News / US military hardware coming to Poland [76]

I'm not convinced that NATO would use nuclear weapons to defend anywhere east of Germany.

They would If half million Russians were crossing Vistula, then they would just nuke eastern Poland. But that obviously won't happen. The whole Russian armed forces are now ~770 thousand people and that includes 5 fleets, strategic & space forces, railway forces, rear forces, training centres and what's not. They don't have huge masses of combat ground units that could capture and hold large territories and it would take them years to re-create them. What for ?

If Russia triggers off some military aggression against Poland, that would be sudden mid scale invasion likely preceded by some false flag operation, which would "help" most of our "allies" do what they would love to do - just don't give a damn because it's not "clear" situation...

You have to spend a lot of money to build up a military force that could cope with the Russians

We spend a lot each year anyway. It's more about spending it the smart way, than about spending more and more.

Russia is a huge country, in case of conflict they won't use more than 1/3 of their forces. And that's not any invincible horde. Besides, the objective for Poland in such case wouldn't be "destroy the enemy and launch counter-attack on Moscow", it will be more like "hold on for 10-14 days without losing more than 30% of territory".
