News / American GIs troops finally in Poland and, thank God, there's more to come [480]

We are provoking Russia

Provoking Russia? F them! They're provoking Poland and they'll regret it. That is only beginning. If they cannot face the fact that Poland is not longer their playground and can invite anyone whom she place on her sovereign territory they can take a long walk on a short pier.

For now we are just puppets of Hamburgerica in their interests against Russia.

You're clues about Americana and her politics. It was Poland lobbing for the American troops on the Polish territory for number of reasons. Not the last of them Russia installing and increasing a number of troops and rockets in the Kaliningrad enclave, banning Polish food from their market for no reason or withholding the black box from the Polish presidential plane.

That all are not marks of a friendly attitude. That is clear.
Obama's admistracion was actually withdrawing from being the world first power - in his mind he was to give out more power to local powers like China or Russia.

Russia took it as a sign that she can rebuilt her power by the military aggressions and annexations - some old shyt!
So right know it is both in the interest of Poland and that of the USA to put Putin on his KGB arse and make sure that he will get the massage to take a chill pill and who is the boss!

I won't shut up about America's crimes and murders.

Oh, FO! with your nonsense they are the world power - that has it prise. even the Vatican is not morally pure and 100% above reproach.

Who is better? From those who ever hold power or those who optimally could do it today? Russia, China, India, Germany - don't make me laugh. Who is better for Poland? Poland actually used to be USA before USA - there is no country that is more culturally close to Poland in terms of the values both countries hold dear.

The thing is in Poland Soviet occupation and brainwashing made a mincemeat from the people's minds.

Hooking onto some issues that doesn't concern Poland or being delusional in rejection of the NATO is a sign of a weak mind and someone who knows nothing about anything. Either that or that of a Russian troll.

Do you're think that Poland outside of the NATO alliance is even a tiny bit safer than Poland as an integral part of the NATO?

If you do, you need to stop taking whatever it is that you take.

American

Shut up for a movement and listen. Poland is a part of the NATO alliance. After 18 years of being in the NATO, only Poland has American troops on the Polish soli on a semi permanent basis.

There is nothing wrong with that.
What a point in being in NATO and not having any benefits or direct support of the US? Poland might as well leave the alliance. Is that what you're advocating? what's the alternative? You must have one in mind unless you are a retard or Russian troll.

Hysterical nonsense typical for liberal snowflakes. They just don't need to think anymore, reason and facts are an alien concept to this kind of histrionic minds often accompanied by the HDP.

Polonia / Polish communities in Latin America? [4]

Merged:

A lay Polish missionary killed in Bolivia.



A message on the Salvator Missionary Facebook page asked for people to pray for her.
"At the moment all words are insufficient," the post said. "We ask you to pray for Helena, her family who have been plunged into pain, as well as our entire community

Kmieć, who arrived in Cochabamba about two weeks ago, was working at the childcare centre, run by the Polish order of the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mother of God. She had planned to stay for six months.

Poland is one of them as Poland has been paying their fair share.

History / Most important Poles and Slavs that ever lived [74]

I find the fact of Maria Skłodowska-Curie being called "Maria Curie" in the West very offensive.

It is not offensive. A fact that they actually think that she was French is annoying, by the pop culture she is seen as a raven-haired French lass.

News / Americans try to defame Poland yet again. [93]

I don't understand why in this threat people are talking about WWII, Germans and whatnot.

Americans DO NOT try to defame Poland intentionally

Ditto. Some narratives have more sway than other. Seems to me that due to the fact that Pol-Ams are not bothered in their daily lives by all that stuff spewed by some about Poland, WWII, Jews and so, they just mainly ignore it.

Those who are interested in peddling their own take on the history have an upper hand in prevailing with their own views( not necessarily correct as to facts).

Poland's academia and Poles in general have no interest to press their own narrative in America. Presuming that anyone writing history will base it on facts. (Also a lot of stuff is not published in English.)

Little did they know that progressives on American unis would take over and instead of history they would teach ideological bias and moralising.
Hence the clash.
Let me defame America, the only cute, really pretty and sweet girls in the US of A one can find in Des Moines...

News / Americans try to defame Poland yet again. [93]

Jedwabne is well acknowledged as a FACT and any Pole asked about it will tell you that it was about Poles killing Jews.

You mean every moron? without forensic evidence anyone can confabulate and speculate one way or the other. The fact that those soviet Kwasniewski apologised in the name of the Polish nation is nothing but a parody. He could only apologise in the name of commies, traitors and commies. He should address his apology to the Polish nation.

No Pole considers our nation crystal clear with no wrong doing in our past.

What you mean by a nation? What do you mean wrong doing?
Some schmucks confuse Poles with Catholics, DNA with ethnicity, and pick on those instances when then can set a Pole wronging on a Jew.
Somehow that is that great wrong doing and guilt of the Polish nation case some ?Poles? killed or otherwise wronged ?Jews?. By the same token of ahistorical and blackwood selection of the racist type we can say that some Jews killed or otherwise wronged Poles.

Should the Jewish nation or all the Jews on the planet hold responsible?
That is a total HS. You and Lzyko are full of it.
The Germans are historically guilty of the genocide because that was their state's doing, their institutions and whole country and people involved not few random Germans killing few random Jews.

Todays Germans as individuals are neither responsible not guilty of their acceptors deeds. As a nation that have that imperfection to bear.
Stop the difference unless you're retarded. Talking to all of you reading that post.

Language / Patrick Ney - Is his Polish Legit? [35]

Let me know what you all think,

Good, what is important his example proves that it can be done. He can communicate in Polish with Poles that is the crux of the matter.

I'm certainly not able to judge his grammar

His grammar is not bad but he makes mistakes that no native speaker would make.

he certainly doesn't sound like a native to my ears.

You're right on your money.

After all, the Poles are always whining,

Really? Are not the Jews the winner in the whining competition? Oh ah - everyone hates us, they want to do us in like Hitler, those catholic priest hiding behind every bush and shrubbery, they're all to get us and especially those anti-Semitic Poles - they just prowl streets at night with their farming implements to nab any Jews they can catch, no matter that some Americans in today America are yelling anti-Semitic slurs at Jews attending their meeting house with traditional head gear, that the NY blacks hate Jews with passion, that in today Poland you wouldn't find one third of the stuff said about Jews in today USA.

Nah all that is a detail, lets go back 70 years to the war and let put the blame on everyone and especially Poles and if they try to reason and talk facts and reality not moralising as a good cultural neo-Marxist, yell anti-Semites and holocaust that much louder because that is a reasonable and mature thing to do.

Yeah Lzyko you must be really proud of yourself.

News / Americans try to defame Poland yet again. [93]

What a mendacious nation the USA is...

WTF? What nation has to do with it? Are you saying that federal government is plotting, lying and conspiring to blacken the name of the Poles? What kind of nonsense is that?

The thing is that pop culture is easily influenced by stereotypies and those are being created by narratives in the mass media and by the political influence of ethnical groups in America.

The thing is that Hollywood enjoyed very few or hardly any Polish influences. Successful Pol-Am more oft than not prefer to buy his wife an luxury items than spend some of his money to buy a place at the dinner table with a POTUS.

Generally speaking those who are concerned about image of Poles in the USA are either a first generation of Americans, few individuals or people without much influence anyway.

Plus there is a general trend that Poles born in the USA see themselves as Americans more oft than not with a notable exception of Polonius.

So if they willing to go out of they way to do something Poland or Poles related it entirely depends whereas their semimetal attachment to the notion of their connection to their ancestry is strong enough. They do see it as a expertise of pragmatism or something that would benefits them in anyway.

They have their life and in 99,99% of their daily life Polish issues don't concern them at all.

Whereas governments of Poland don't understand what needs to be done and they either do nothing or act like dumb bureaucrats who understand nothing.

'the thing about Americans is that they dislike complexity'

Like any society at large. I can see why a lecturer holds that notion but it is a delicious irony in the fact that in his generalisation he displays the same trait he denounces in his countrymen. lol!

The first officially acknowledged

Due to the fact that Allies didn't believe into info passed to them by the Polish Government in Exile. They justified that obstinacy talking about alleged bias of Poles towards Germany. The truth is more mundane methinks.

First of all Allies were riddled with Soviet stooges, agents and soviet lovers.
Second of all no one had given two hoots about the Jews, not Britain not USA. Mr Hitler was doing something with Jews - good riddance. Wow he was actually exterminating them, really? that ridiculous such a gentlemanly, civilized nation as Germany (if that were Poles that would be believable but Germany you surly jest or at least exaggerate) not good but we're not going out of our way to stop him.

We have a war to win and one we do that will put a stop to all the atrocities.
Also Germans hadn't started with their final solution before 1941 or 42, not sure, I think it must have been 41.

News / Poland blocks any action on climate change [569]

those climate change deniers

Are we talking about cult? Deniers? What is that? Euphemism for heathens?

The problem in Poland is that the government has still got it's head in the sand

Poland has no money for radical change in this regard. Do you know anyone who is willing to put about 100 to 500 billions of Euros to pay for that transition?

Also coal is a strategic resource.
Sure technology should be applied to reduce significantly emissions of the substances harmful to the health of the populace. That one is obvious.

Poland has specific problems with government and with a bunch of internal issues. Poland shouldn't have joined the EU - it has done more harm that good for the country.

Are now all people who have different opinion then you, Russian spies??

Spies? No! That would be a waste of a spy power. They are simply common paid trolls - that all.

You really wants to convince yourself that is every single Pole happy with NATO tanks in Poland?

No, there some people who have either doubts or for some reasons doesn't like even limited-presence of the US troops on the Polish soil.

Anyone can express his/her opinion on any issue.
What I object to are slogan and chants that are evidently untrue and are being repeated on PF by the same person far too many times.

WE POLES DONT WANT YANKS (YOU) IN OUR COUNTRY!

Above sentence is clearly a lie. The majority of Poles and Polish gov evidently wants yanks(?) in Poland. In every country that I'm aware of the power of decision that is binding in such matters belongs to a government.

An individual or a group of people can disagree with action of their gov but that is a moot point. They are obliged by the law to respect bills and decision of their legal gov. Those who act to the contrary by breaking the law are called criminals or traitors and go to jail.

See, I believe that most of sane people in Poland don`t wish ANY (!) tanks in Poland.

I guess you are wrong.

We've all been acculturated to believe that adding to a given race will only weaken or dilute the existing strain. Well, perhaps just the opposite is true.

Talk for yourself. I haven't been acculturated to believe no such a thing. Some admixture is often beneficial.

Why then NATO need troops in Poland? Its a nonsense. Just trap for Poland. Agony as gift.

Stop peddling your propaganda. Dumb stooge, Serbia belong to Kosovo !

Russia would inflame the region with countless long distance missiles instead.

Having American troops on the ground Poland can be reasonable sure that Russia will not do anything that silly. That is a long and short of it.

Poland is a member of the NATO for some time now. What that hysteria about war with Russia comes from? That is simple a pressure that Russia try to apply because she doesn't like American troops in Poland. Why not? If they are such a friend and peaceful country - what is the problem they have with Poland inviting their allies for a prolonged visit?

What would they say if Poland or anybody else start to question movements of their troops and rockets on their territory. Why do they need so many rockets and troops in the enclave so close to Warsaw? eh?

Russia has lot in common with Poland : conservatism.

Russia was always peddling either being modern and progressive or conservative. Depending on the circumstances and aim of their propaganda.
Truth to be told they're neither conservative nor progressive they are incomparable with the western civilization people are being mislead and stupefied by superficial similarities of the Russian culture to that of the rest of Europe.

To see in their propaganda more than manipulation would be a folly.
One could with the same result and to no purpose look into Saudi Arabia or Iranian culture. Both shun gays, are conservative in a broad sense and tolerate no feminist nonsense.

USA do not want to continue OTAN

That is an unspecified gossip.

wish Poland and EUrope could cooperate more with Russia.

Firstly Russia would have to wise up a lot. As for the EU, I think that existence of that organization as we see it is numbered.

Maybe one day USA-Europe-Russia could start some unity against Islamic terror

Islamic terror is a nuisance but one that does a lot of more harm to Muslim countries that anybody else.

It's the biggest positive of the Trump-Putin friendship.

Hmm.. an alleged friendship. Plus we're talking politics and interests talk not sentiments.

Did you read Adam Zamoyski's (sic) comment that PIS is not a lurch to the right, it's a return to Soviet style politics.

I have been telling that for years. PiS is not the right wing or nationalist they're pretty left wing but without neo-cultural ideological bias that overtook other left wing parties and not only.

If you're for gender BS, feminist HS and Gay Privileges - you call PiS right wing.
So, I would think that in that regard at lest PiS and Trump will get together splendidly.

Warsaw is Polska B. It was part of the Russian empire (the single biggest marker for Polska B-hood).

Hmm.. wrong. Can you read a map?
goo.gl/images/zPytKi

Well the current government is all about recreating the PRL (in style if not subtance)

That is manipulative BS you're selling here.
In Poland we have social system, state structures and all that matters for functioning of the state and society a matrix or more oft than not the same matter imported from the PRL.

Meaning that beside few cosmetic changes and an introduction of electing representatives by a popular vote - an oppressive nature of the PRL state remained the same.

After 1989 post-commies and company have been using that system to the betterment of themselves and their cronies and to detriment of the general populace. To put it bluntly PO didn't use the police or the court system to punish corruption and thievery because those guilty of after mentioned transgressions were they very accomplices and supporters.

the beef you seemly have with Pis is the very fact that they are trying to revive those punitive functions of the state. They cannot change the constitution so they're forced to work with the matter at hand which is in fact straight from PRL.

Making it look as if they would like to revert to the PRL by design is just a big lie.

calling people Nationalists or Globalists is slightly off mark.

Basically there are those who are to gain from mass migration, globalism and those who stand to loose. Anti-liberal push we observe is caused by the conviction of those left behind (economically) and who don't gain by an influx of foreigners that their are being taken for a ride by their own country that supposedly should act in their best interest.

I liberally nearly fell off my chair, in front of me are decision makers in Warsaw lawyers and company CEO's talking about reversing history.

No, you're in Poland and they are just talking. Fact is that Poles are being disgusted by the newest western heresy - cultural neo-Marxist (some call it regressive left). Coupled with a staggering inability or unwillingness of so many western politicians to act rationally without ideological bias.

That notion that somehow Russia an embodied tyranny is somehow a remedy for that is just a pure fantasy of people who are not used to think in terms of the political reality and statesmanship.
