The kraut really needs to look at basic facts

Our potential enemies (in longer perspective) are as usual Germany and Russia, the latter already have nuclear weapons. Germany would join them quickly if they will need.

Poland is innocent for the most part, from day one Russians and Germans wanted to destroy us just look at the facts the list!

The viability of the emerging state was assured by the early Piast leaders' persistent territorial expansion, which beginning with a very small area around Gniezno

The Polanie tribe conquered and merged with other Slavic tribes

It fought wars with the Polabian Slavs, the margraves of the Saxon Eastern March (Gero in 963-964 and Hodo in 972), and the Czechs. By around 990, when Mieszko I officially submitted his country to the authority of the Holy See (Dagome iudex), he had transformed Poland into one of the strongest powers in central-eastern Europe.

Contrary to what Mieszko had intended, his oldest son Bolesław managed to become the sole ruler of Poland. A man of high ambition and strong personality, he embarked on further territorial expansion to the west, south, and east

in 1018 also Bolesław took over the western part of Red Ruthenia

After Bolesław's death his son, King Mieszko II Lambert, tried to continue his father's politics, having his kingdom act as an interventionist great power.

in 1047 Masovia was taken back from Miecław, and in 1050 Silesia form the Czechs

In 1226 Konrad I of Masovia invited the Teutonic Knights to help him fight the Prussian people

Casimir unsuccessfully tried to recover Silesia by conducting military activities against the Luxembourgs between 1343 and 1348

During the Hussite Wars (1420-1434) Jagiełło, Vytautas and Sigismund Korybut were invoved in political and military maneuvering concerning the Czech crown,

The idea, accepted in Poland over Oleśnicki's objections, resulted in two unsuccessful Polish military expeditions to Bohemia.

Casimir declared a war on the Order and a formal incorporation of Prussia into the Polish Crown; those events led to the Thirteen Years War

In 1569 Royal Prussia had its legal autonomy largely taken away, and in 1570 Poland's supremacy over Gdańsk and the Polish King's authority over the Baltic shipping trade were regulated and received statutory recognition.

The Polish-Muscovite War (1605-1618) took place in the early-1600's as a sequence of military conflicts and eastward invasions carried out by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth,

oh, cut your crap krautboy.

if our neighbours were far stronger we would be speaking russian or barking shwabian.

Well, thanks to good old Britain, France and America ;)

from the beginning Poland had to fight every fuckin century.

she is using it as leverage, by turning off the flow, until things go her way...

I think moving to Poland or reading non-american media would moderate your views.

Germany is highly multicultural too. German, the official language of tourism.

He takes pride in saying that at least one of his parents was not Aryan/Teutonic, but instead of Slavic origin, as with millions of his fellow countrymen-:)

i cannot understand the reasoning behind this?

Don't you feel that the Brits would try to bully other armies into doing things their way? British Army folk have a lot of pride.

...Six countries participate in Eurocorps as "framework nations": France, Germany, Belgium(from 1993), Spain (from 1994), Luxembourg (from 1996)[2] and Poland (from 2008).

A further seven countries have pledged troops or contribute operational staff: Austria, Turkey, Greece, the United Kingdom, Finland, Italy and the Netherlands. ...

I am not formillier with the joke Seanus can you tell me

With motor vehicles in particular illegal trade routes are more common than others. Cars stolen in Britain are often traced to countries in Africa while those stolen in Germany or the Czech Republic may well be sold in Poland or Russia.

New technology is critical to tracking stolen cars. A car's identity can be quickly transmitted to police forces and customs in neighbouring countries.

In the Czech Republic, the records only match current plates, and as there is no system for write-offs, number plates can be easily traded and forged.

This technological deficiency has led to many cars being stolen by placing old plates over the new and traded to clients in Poland and Russia.

So frustrated are detectives that they often joke that the Polish Tourist Board should publish a poster showing an area of beautiful countryside and the caption: "Come to Poland, your car's already here!"

There's only one BB - hit before you are hit

ice hockey it is then

The Omnibus Edition is proud to salute BB and looks forward to his next contributions muttered darkly from beneath that battered old helmet.

If Kopernik was German give me more such Germans :)))

There is supposed evidence to suggest

Copernicus' father was a treasurer of Zwiazek Jaszczurczy (Lizard Organisation) an organisation involved in protecting Polish interests against these of Teutonic Order. Among other things they co-financed the 1466 war between Poland and the Order

Lizard Union (medieval), an organization of Prussian nobles and knightsopposed to the Teutonic Knights

The war started as an uprising by Prussian cities and the local nobility with the goal of gaining independence from the Teutonic Knights. The Prussian Confederation asked the Polish king for help and offered to incorporate Prussia into the Kingdom of Poland. When the king agreed, war between Poland supporting one faction of the Prussians against the Prussians in support of government by the Teutonic Knights broke out. It ended with the Second Peace of Thorn (1466) in favor of the confederacy and Poland, and was followed by the War of the Priests, about independence of the Prussian priests against Poland from 1467-1479.

...As a native German speaker he joined the "German Nation of Bologna University". Each student contributed to the "German Nation" an amount they could afford and the small contribution that Copernicus made indicates his poor financial position at that time.

BB - Even your source doesn't come out and claim him as Pure German as well....

And are you going to appologize to the good people of this forum for your lie or are you going to change the subject as usual?
