News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

Fake news like the good ole soviet days. If that smooth your nerves and let you sleep at night believe in what you want.

Good old Ironside, willing to pretend that the tiny crowd wasn't bussed in from all over Poland.

USA support for three seas area is a very good thing that bode well for the Pax Americana and Poland.

It will come to nothing. It was just the name for a meeting hastily made up to cater for the real reason for the visit: American discussions with Croatia.

1. What has Croatia to do with Trumps' visit to Poland?

A lot, actually. It was made clear by the Americans that they wouldn't visit Warsaw unless President Grabar-Kitarovic was there to take a central role.

Croatia is very much Germany's close friend in Europe and the Americans were heavily, heavily involved with the arming and training of the Croatian Army in 1993-4. One reason why Operation Storm was such a huge success was because the whole thing was effectively planned by the Americans.

Crow is right when he says that Croatians can't be trusted in terms of Poland's objective here. They're not going to abandon Germany.

When pushed, they might have to choose between either Moscow or Berlin, but none of them will antagonize both and side with Warsaw.

Exactly. Romania might, but that's about it. The rest already chose their beds.

The democrats need to start running for something (that supports the interests of voters) instead of against Trump, that's a losing proposition.

I think there's a valuable point here - Trump (and others) have been promising something that is a fairytale, but it's a fairytale that people are willing to rabidly believe in. Is there a way to beat that? I'm really not sure, though I suppose the example from the UK shows that a candidate with support from the youth (like Sanders had) is capable of winning.

I'd say at this moment in time, the Democrats need to accept that they won't win on a negative campaign. Macron succeeded partially because his campaign was so positive, and it was the same with the Labour campaign in the UK.

(BTW - I should have said "some" Americans, I know plenty of decent Americans in Europe who aren't fooled in the slightest by the rhetoric)

I dont believe a word that comes out of your pie hole, thats for sure!

Don't worry, we know that you have problems comprehending anything other than what politicians and the media tells you. It's common with people of low intellect to spend their days watching Fox News and the like rather than actually educating themselves.

I sure am having fun watching you libturds meltdown on a daily basis:)

The funniest thing was watching your kind lose the plot when Macron destroyed Le Pen in the election. With Merkel on her way to winning for a 4th time and the decisive failure of right wing politics in the UK among others, the Trump era is over as quickly as it began.

Why don't you move back to Scotland since you hate the Polish so much?

Why don't you stop posting on here as you hate Europe so much?

Yeah but it sure greased the wheels with an allie didn't it.

It's just a standard American President abroad speech, nothing more.

"blah blah is our great ally, blah blah free world blah blah brave locals blah blah references to history blah blah commitment to defence blah blah great country blah blah challenge blah blah america will help you blah blah nothing new whatsoever."

edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/24/obama.words/

Look at Obama's speech in Germany. It's almost identical.

I doubt you will get very much sleep tonight, fuming over Trumps great success today!

I'm sure I'll sleep fine, given that one speech does not make a President.

Germany orchestrated genocide on Serbs during WWII.

Yep. The brutality of the fascist forces in WW2 is unbelievable. What Branko Jungić suffered for refusing to change his religion still haunts me today.

He'll get the trade deficit balanced to make America Great Again.

I doubt it. All he's doing is ensuring that American companies stay at a disadvantage.

Watch and see if he doesn't give Japan some nukes to defend themselves and then we'll see who's buddy they are.

Japan wouldn't take them.

Classifieds / Food export, Poland to Sweden [11]

By the way, this is one market that is going to expand rapidly in Poland in the near future

Not if Sanepid have anything to do with it. They already raided and shut down several companies doing this, and it's very, very difficult to meet their requirements with such a service.

Of course a lot of people prefer fresh food but the market for frozen food boxes seems quite good as well.

That's fascinating, though it shows you've done your homework.

I'd try posting on Facebook groups connected with Gdańsk, as you won't want your supply chain to be too long.

Building Poland`s future on it would be mistake.

Agreed.

Croatia is way too much in the German sphere of influence to ever be independent of Germany. You know as well as I know that Germany was playing a very dangerous game in Croatia in 1991, not least by pushing the EEC to recognise Croatian independence while the situation was tense.

This must have been dreadful for ethnic Serbs in Croatia to see.

News / Trump will hold Poland up as an example for other nations to follow [106]

It was the msot por-Poloish speech ever given by an American president in Poland

Lying as always.

articles.latimes.com/1997/jul/11/news/mn-11735

"Never again will your fate be decided by others," the president continued. "Never again will the birthright of freedom be denied you. Poland is coming home."

In the crowd, some held Polish flags and some, American flags. One banner read "Thanks, Bill!" Another simply declared "America!"

Jurkiewicz, 41, who speaks little English, shouted over the crowd as best he could, "Thank you very much!" as the president promised never to abandon Polish security interests or Poland's nascent democracy.

That certainly seems very pro-Poland

No worries. It's actually quite interesting to look at how difficult it is for Poland to put together partnerships in this part of the world.

For instance, look at the road between Poznan-Wrocław-Brno-Bratislava-Budapest. The most direct road is pretty poor, with a lengthy section in Poland and the Czech Republic of dangerous single-lane road. Neither Poland or the Czech Republic has any plan to improve this, so transport connections are going to remain terrible for at least another 15-20 years.

Nonetheless poland remains united with the visegard 4 allies...

The V4 are not particularly united on much, the Czechs and Slovaks already made it clear that they want nothing to do with the Polish-Hungarian plan to pull away from the EU, and the single issue (migrants) isn't enough to push serious long term cooperation.

The Czechs in particular made it very clear that they were not interested in fighting with Germany, while the Slovaks know fine well that their economy depends heavily on German/Austrian investments.

As far as where a country gets its gas, well Russia is cheapest and oftentimes countries have to look for the lowest dollar deal than pay way more for hopes of more political and military help.

That's the exact issue with Hungary. They've now signed gas and nuclear deals with Russia, meaning that any cooperation with Hungary needs to be viewed in terms of their Russian energy masters. Hungary isn't going to threaten their energy supplies by signing unfavourable-for-Russia deals with Poland.

Now with your pretensions that Russia will have some kind of influence over these countries think again.

Obviously your knowledge of European geopolitics is...lacking.

Hungary just stabbed Poland right in the stomach with this move.

Soon Three Seas Iniciative, a modified version of Piłsudski's vision under the leadership of Poland (and Croatia maybe) will become a real power.

And then Poland woke up.

For a start, let's look at the countries involved.

Estonia - under Swedish/Finnish influence and has a sizeable Russian minority that votes for the Center Party, which is currently the party of the PM there.

Latvia - also a sizable Russian minority that has a strong influence on domestic politics.
Lithuania - not going to trust Poland in the slightest
Czech Republic - firmly attached to Germany. Didn't bother coming to Warsaw.
Slovakia - playing a game between East and West, not interested in a strong Poland
Hungary - very much in Russia's camp, just signed a new deal for a gas pipeline to connect to Russia
Croatia - very much under the control of Germany
Austria - sits in the middle, no interest in supporting Polish interests over Russia or Germany
Bulgaria - very much in the Russian sphere of influence
Slovenia - not interested in Polish affairs, belongs firmly in Western Europe

That leaves Romania.

I hardly doubt a Polish-Romanian partnership is going to change much. Croatia is very much representing American interests here, which means that Poland as per usual has fallen for the games of one of the Great Powers.

Drop your stupid pretensions of Poland being some sort of power.

Have you thought about the logistics? Transporting fresh food is expensive, particularly on the Poland-Sweden ferry routes.

Law / Help with Postal Customs office in Poland. I need to get an item that is being withheld there. Rolex imitation [30]

One guy holds a camera recording everything and two guys go throughb everything checking for contraband and making sure that all documents check out, that tax is paid etc.

Could well be, they don't mess about on the Eastern border with checks, so it's quite possible that they do it like that when stuff is sent by post too. It's common for non-EU goods to get held up for quite a long time at customs.

In this case its a counterfeit so probably not but I wonder if say it was a normal legit consumer item

Usually if it's legally imported, you just need to go and pay the taxes owed and the item is yours. They won't fine you if they catch it, you just need to clear it by filling in the correct paperwork and paying whatever is owed.

Law / Polish inheritance - court ruling and delay - the only child [18]

We are talking about inheriting a property and also savings....

Basically, in this case, it's up to the court to use common sense. You need a lawyer to push them in that direction, but the money for the maintenance of the property will come out of the settlement before it's distributed by the court.

What you're seeing here is the classic zawiść. They want more than they're getting, so they're willing to delay it for a long time to make sure that you get as little as possible, even if they lose themselves. It's very, very normal in these situations with Poles.

Polonia / Half-Polish Terrorist attack on the Champs-Elysses [55]

Merged:

Polish terrorist caught attempting to import guns into the UK



Frightening story here.

uk.blastingnews.com/opinion/2017/07/arsenal-of-79-lethal-hand-guns-seized-by-scotland-yard-and-the-nca-001821983.html

A Polish man in his 50's was caught attempting to take 79 guns into the UK. One can only speculate what he intended to do with those guns, but it's safe to say that these guns could easily have been used to spread terror and fear into the hearts of innocent British civilians.

As much as I support Schengen, perhaps it's for the best that the UK has border controls in place to prevent such terrorists from reaching British soil.

Law / Help with Postal Customs office in Poland. I need to get an item that is being withheld there. Rolex imitation [30]

Sadly every website selling it encourages avoiding VAT payment by cheating Customs Office.

Yes, and they often check up months afterwards. A friend had to go to the local Urząd Celny to swear on the record that he had nothing to do with one VAT scam that involved phones that were somehow released into the EU without customs clearance. They wanted to know everything, including details of other electronics that he had bought online.

One thing that I like about Poland is that Customs are very, very thorough.
