News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]

They have that in Russia? Amazing all those people want to leave...

No, they did in Libya under Gaddafi before Clinton turned the country in a total ruin. I would've loved to live in Gaddafi's Libya. Funny how we can decide at the drop of a hat which dictators are A-Okay and which need to be murdered. Let's not forget the US had a good relationship with Saddam before the 90's and 2000's.

According to you - others might say it's the best system we know.

Some argue democracy is best, some argue socialism is best, some argue anarchy... I think each system has it's pro's and con's and some governments work well for certain countries and certain demographics where as another one wouldn't.

Personally, I think that in democracies the politicians spend way too much time worrying about campaigning and elections instead of governing. Even with a 4 year presidency - 1 - 1 1/2 years are going to be focused on campaigning and election season. If you have a leader that's been doing a great job for 5, 10, 20 years why not keep him?

And Russia is a country to which Poland is rightly very negative.

Yes, because of the centuries of wars on both sides. There's suspicious among Poles, especially those who have lived under communism like myself (granted at the very tail end of it) and my parents but the view is changing with the younger generation. Personally, I'd just like to see individuals like Polish farmers not be told by some guy in Brussels who they can and can't sell their peppers and vegetables to. Polish farmers have really suffered because of the sanctions. What I am stating is that I hope Poland can realize that the West is in decline and buddy up with countries that are on the rise - like Kazakhstan for one with whom Poland just signed a very important trade deal which will benefit both parties.

...except a blatant lack of democracy.

'Democracy' isn't everything, and is oftentimes overrated... there are plenty of countries with a high HDI and happy citizens that are ruled by the same president for decades, a monarch, dictator, etc. India is the world's largest democracy yet most people are dirt poor - many emigrate or work in countries Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which are the furthest things from democracies.

Libya under Gaddafi is one such example, same with U.A.E., Bahrain, or Qatar - those aren't democracies... yet I'd much rather live there than India which is considered the world's largest democracy.

We have a so-called democracy here in the states - sure we have freedom of speech, right to bear arms, can criticize Obama etc. (granted that's gradually being taken away) and we're supposedly free - but nonetheless total slaves to banks, mortgages, ridiculous cost of living with low wages in this democracy.

Quite frankly, I'd take free housing, free healthcare, monthly dividend checks from oil sales, $50k upon marriage, etc. and give up my right to criticize the government over being an indentured servant in a democracy able to speak out against the government any day.

As far as Russia is concerned - it's a weird situation there. It's kind of like a semi-democracy increasingly nationalist type of country run by oligarchs (many of which were exiled put in prison, or murdered by Putin) and people with connections to the old Communists.

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]

A very strong believer in the EU and certainly no apologist for Russia.

True. Also a believer that Poland is America/NATO's lapdog.

Poland isn`t alone.

Thankfully yes. Poland has a great relationship with the Visegard 4 - which I would love to see Serbia a part of. However, Polish leadership, in business and politics, need to understand that the West is on a decline. Poland can sell burqas for the newly arrived migrants in Belgium and Germany, but I think they'd be better off forming new trade agreements with countries like Russia, China, and Iran - those are the countries that are on the upswing now... and I guess also Mexico, Brazil, Mongolia, Vietnam, etc. The point is though, the Poland needs to focus less on German and the rest of the EU and focus more, at the very least on the economic benefits, on making better relations with other countries outside the EU.

Poland actually just signed a huge trade agreement with Kazakhstan recently - a country I am considering working in actually (especially if Hillary wins). The economy of Kazakhstan is wonderful - huge oil, uraniam and mineral deposits, low debt, 2:1 export to import ratio, low unemployment, rising GDP per capita and PPP, moderate inflation, diversified economy, undervalued currency - they have everything going for them. The government pays foreign workers $80k USD a year for entry level positions with only 10% going towards income tax and free room and board and even airfare covered. You can live like a king on $40k USD in Kazakhstan, let alone double.

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]

Please... this is coming from someone who was born and raised in Poland and had to learn Russian as a second language.. Poland is a NATO buffer state against Russia, merely a geopolitical pawn to set up missle defences against missles from landing in Germany, France, UK, etc. At least now the new government is realizing how it's been played all along. Russia would steamroll Poland almost as quickly as it did Georgia. I'm not saying I want that to happen as I love Poland, but I also am being realistic.

Putin, who I have lots of respect for, has bigger fish to fry than worrying about invading Poland. I certainly hope in time Poland learns to make better relationships with the Russians as both parties could benefit. History tells us though that it'll be a long uphill battle though and may never happen. Atleast there's still our Czech, Serbian, Slovak, and Hungarian friends.

I will cite Sienkiewicz who said Poland exists only on paper and Sikorski who said we slob on American knob.. Poland is a counterweight to Russia because it is a EU/UN/NATO pawn... and like in chess, you frequently have to sacrifice a pawn or two to obtain a better position - no country would help Poland if invaded. This is why I wish at the very least Poland would disregard EU sanctions against Russia especially as PL farmers are really feeling the sting against this.

Genealogy / Looking for information on my great grandfather Josef Sokolowski [10]

Sokolowski is a very popular name. If you know for fact he's Jewish that would help narrow your search a lot. I would start with US immigration records or the records in the local towns or in Krakow - especially if he owned land or was part of petty nobility his record would be there.

Keep in mind too though Poland didn't exist during the years you mention as those were the partition years.

News / Poland directly threatened by ISIS. Do Islamists planning terrorist attacks in Poland? [390]

Around 100 people have been arrested in Kosovo since September 2014 on charges of active membership of, or affiliation to, Islamist groups including ISIS and Al-Nusra.'

balkaninsight.com/en/article/kosovo-jails-isis-facebook-propagandist-04-12-2016

Atleast when Yugo still existed, there wasn't this problem of terrorism in Kosovo or Bosnia. I feel sorry for the Serbs - they try to control the terrorism from spreading and not only do they not get any thanks, they get chastised by the world. At least some people are realizing the B.S

You missed one thing from that website:

Kossev also quoted this "commander" as saying that "ANA considers NATO to be its friend, and it is a friend to Kosovo's institutions." He then added that "ANA will be mobilized very quickly if necessary."

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]

Maybe the multicultarism got to you

One of the many reasons haha = but not the main one honestly. I live in a very diverse city (granted my suburb is like 95% white, perhaps 4% asian and 1% black with very few jews as this is a WASP stronghold) so I'm use to it. However, when I travel through Europe I like to be with Europeans. If I wanted to be surrounded by Pakistanis and Indians I'd go to Lahore or Mumbai.

The establishment of wealthy Anglosaxons and Jews is still nested in cities like London and New York.

They're in nearly EVERY western country - even places like Argentina and Moldova. Although Europe and NYC was the original stronghold of the Rothschild, Warburgs, Guggenheims and the original banking families.

Its good you have open mind. If Poland does the above it should do so very carefully

At the very least, I feel that Poland ought to shift away from economic reliance on the west and realize the enormous market potential of places like Russia, China, and Iran. These three countries have been making treaty after trade agreement with each other as they realize they've got to be each other's friends against the EU, US, and NATO.

I would love to see more cheaply made Chinese, Russian, or even Iranian goods in Poland and more Polish high quality exports to Russia. I know the EU sanctions did hurt Poland a little bit and some Russians would smuggle Polish goods into the country - namely food, especially cheeses.

I'm a lover of the free market - I think that Poland should trade with whoever it is economically beneficial - not solely on who the EU dictates that we trade with.

Zimmy, I live in Chicago.... it sucks...

many many acres of Grant Park, - big open field with a few trees - not impressed
Lincoln Park - full of yuppies, hipsters, and trust fund babies. there's a few good bars but that's it - which would be nice to go to if you could actually park your car within the same 5 blocks as the bar.

the lake shore beaches for miles - full of trash and fat ugly women - unlike the shores of Spain, the French Riviera, or even Gdansk

and the numerous smaller parks, etc. - like the ones infested with gangs such as Garfield park, Riis park, portage park, and just about any other small park in the city. Even without the gangs, they're still totally unimpressive - grass with no unique landscaping or even flowers for that matter and a couple of ash trees that grow thanks to a steady diet of cigarrette butts..

I've lived in Chicago most of my life - it's overrated, overly expensive (further 17% property tax increase on properties worth over $250k), and there's hardly anything special about it. Aside from the L, the average street in Chicago will look nearly identical to that of Philly, Milwaukee, Boston, or just about any other generic major city in the US.

There's a reason why the population has been going down just about every year since 2000 in Chicago (at that year it had a height of 2.89 million - that's the highest it's been in 16 years) - the people who have the means to move out, do... including the corporations and businesses

Stick to the topic please

i don`t like Britai

Same. London by far was my least favorite city and England my least favorite country in Europe - and I've traveled all over Europe. Although it was unique to see the men better dressed and in better shape than the women. It reminded me of a european version of Chicago - meaning nothing to brag about and everything you don't want like terrible traffic, bad weather, ugly people, and a very high population density with no room to move around. The beer was good - but the food not so much. Mayonaise with fries- I'll pass...

Many Brits are brainwashed - it's not their fault entirely. I thought free speech was limited in the US till I researched England.

We should start a thread on this... Why England sucks and why some Brits come to Poland..

The burqa clad population is pretty big in Canada - but it's nonetheless far less diverse than the US or western Europe. To my understanding, Canada is still 3/4 white so it's not doomed like the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, etc.

I am looking to move abroad in the coming year - Canada is one of the top places on my list... good economy, high standard of living, low interest rates, majority white population, lots of hunting and fishing, not infested with traffic and crime... seems like a decent place. I've only been to Canada like twice though and it was a few years back.

I just pray that Poland doesn't become like Germany, Belgium, Sweden, etc. that would be such a shame. I don't think it'll happen for a while though - at least government's of countries like Serbia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic haven't completely sold their culture and their people out.

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]

geopolitical counterweight.

More like geopolitical stone in Russia's shoe...

Poland is definitely NOT Europe's only counterweight to Russia - out of the border countries even Turkey has a more powerful army. Poland is perhaps a bit more powerful than the Baltic countries but less so than like Germany, France, Turkey, etc.

Russia and Poland should follow example of Serbia and Hungary and, by the God they will.

I really really want Poland to form better relations with Russia, Serbia, and the Visegard 4. I'd love to see a breaking away from Brussels hegemony and closer ties with the East. The West is on a downward spiral - Poland is going to have to make some decisions whether to go down with it. Personally, I'd be in favor of Poland making ties with countries like Serbia, Hungary, Russia, China, Pakistan, Iran, etc. - these are the countries that have realized that the US, EU, and NATO really aren't as powerful as they use to be.

News / Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]

Poland doesn't stand a chance against Russia - and this is coming from someone who's uncle is a Major in the land forces... Poland would get steamrolled faster than it did by the Nazis and Soviets in WW2. You better believe the US, UK, or France wouldn't help either - just as they didn't during WW2. The most they would do is speak out against Russia and maybe add some more economic sanctions - but as far as actual military help - forget it.

The only thing Poland could do if Russia invaded is have some sort of guerrilla saboteur type of war to slow them down. Russia isn't interested in attacking Poland though - it doesn't have the same historical or geographic significance or even a minority Russian population like Ukraine.

Kosovo is

... the right armpit of Europe, with Albania being the left armpit . Also, dozens of countries still don't recognize Kosovo including China, India, Algeria, Greece, Argentina, Brazil, Israel (big surprise), Mexico, Spain, Indonesia, and many more. It's mostly western countries that recognize Kosovo - about 1/2 of Africa while most of Asia, and most of S. America don't recognize Kosovo. I believe around 100 of the 190 (just over half) of the UN member states recognize Kosovo.

If they wanted some semblance of an economy and stability, they should get on their knees and beg the Serbs for forgiveness and return all the kidneys, lungs, and other organs they cut out in the Yellow house.

Also, most the of the Ukraine war has been resolved - most of the territories are in the process of being returned to Ukraine, except Crimea which the Russians will most likely keep. I'm not an expert on history on Crimea, but from what I understand this was Russian territory since the late 1700's and was part of Russian SFSR till like the 50's, then it was given to Ukraine SSR, then turned into like a 'special city' that belonged to Ukraine but housed the Russian fleet.

The only people that are benefiting from this war are the investors that purchased Ukrainian state assets during their fire sale to raise capital to fight the Soviets. If I didn't have other duties at the time, I too would've purchased some machines or whatever else I knew I could make a quick profit on.

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

Russia is just being ruined by sanctions and low oil prices. Nonetheless, Putin instilled a sense of nationalism and pride in the people and he still enjoys very high approval ratings.

Serbia is a very nationalist country as well, and even Poland to an extent. Although yes, the nationalists will turn on their own kind if they feel they are 'patriotic' enough or get an inkling that an individual could be doing something contrary to the benefit of the nation.

There are a few examples though where nationalist ideals have remained popular - although these countries are considered pariahs (sometimes fairly, sometimes not) - North Korea, China, Iran, and in smaller circles Greece, Albania, Serbia, and Israel - where extreme nationalism is essentially government sponsored.

So in effect nationalistic.

Full Definition of nationalism - merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nationalism

Loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups

dictionary.com/browse/nationalism
1. spirit or aspirations common to the whole of a nation.
2. devotion and loyalty to one's own country; patriotism.

Nothing wrong with being a nationalist - highest form of loyalty, pride and patriotism in your own people. Much better than selling out to foreigners and promoting foreign cultures' when your own is so great and beautiful.

Sorry to hear that. Canada is a wonderful country and it's a shame these individuals don't emigrate to other Muslim majority countries. I can understand why though - economics.

Thankfully Poland is very hesitant to take in Muslims almost to the point of paranoia. I'd hate to see the country turn into a place like Germany or Belgium. Those countries are done for its only a matter of time before whites become the minority.

competence issues.

They only move their butts if some politician really gets on their case or the media starts talking trash about them. Then suddenly the next day TVP is showing guys in masks breaking into some guys apartment and showing off a shoebox full of amphetamines they confiscated...

I don't know why they bothered to leave to the UK unless there was that much heat on them in Poland... murder in Poland I believe is only 8-25 years in prison with most doing around 8-10 if they were only convicted of one count. I would've asked to defect to Iran or something personally... but that's just me.

News / World's 'most wanted man' (a Pole) found working at British Subway restaurant [43]

Polish cops are totally lazy. The only reason why they might have turned up the heat is because of all the bad press Poland has been getting lately. The way that Trump said 'Mexico's not sending their best' well I'm sure many people in the UK think that way of Poland or Romania.

Most of the career criminals have left Poland, many for the UK especially if they're facing charges. This really doesn't surprise me. Some of the Polish guys that would commit robberies or fraud here would go to Poland but that was before Poland was in the EU and began extraditing people back to the US. At least in Wroclaw, it's mostly the younger generation running the drugs and a maybe handful of older guys who are being released due to 90's and early 2000s murder convictions. The soccer hooligans aren't real criminals - maybe enforcers that are a bit too passionate at best.

News / Poland directly threatened by ISIS. Do Islamists planning terrorist attacks in Poland? [390]

Still, many survived, you won`t believe this, because they escaped in local NATO bases and founded there protection from Serbians.

There some documents that came out after 9/11 (US Department of State) showing that some humanitarian organization in Bosnia was receiving $300+ million a year from the Saudi government - it was called I believe Saudi High Commission or something like that. These funds were used to train and provide for jihadis so that they could use as Bosnia as their European base from which to launch attacks. Under Al-Qaeda, Bosnia was the cradle of European terrorism, now with ISIS, it's more Belgium.

Some sources about Saudi's financing terrorism via humanitarian organizations in Bosnia:
globalresearch.ca/new-saudi-king-tied-to-al-qaeda-bin-laden-and-islamic-terrorism/5429307

· A U.N. audit found that the money was transferred following meetings with Salman, transfers that had no legitimate "humanitarian" purpose.
· According to a United Nations-sponsored investigation, Salman in the 1990s transferred more than $120 million from commission accounts under his control - as well as his own personal accounts - to the Third World Relief Agency, another al-Qaida front and the main pipeline for illegal weapons shipments to al-Qaida fighters in the Balkans.

NATO forces raided the SHC's Sarajevo offices, discovering a treasure trove of terrorist materials: before-and-after photographs of al Qaeda attacks, instructions on how to fake U.S. State Department badges, and maps marked to highlight government buildings across Washington.

foreignpolicy.com/2015/01/27/king-salmans-shady-history-saudi-arabia-jihadi-ties/
By 2001, the organization had collected around $600 million - nominally for relief and religious purposes, but money that allegedly also went to facilitating arms shipments, despite a U.N. arms embargo on Bosnia and other Yugoslav successor states from 1991 to 1996.

The US and NATO did not want to disturb Bosnia after the Yugo wars - they were too busy blaming Serbs for genocide and worrying about stains on a dress. The fact is though, the Serbs were actually rooting out terrorism in Europe at it's source 10 years before the US and NATO gave a crap. Plus, the only reason why the US did something about the terrorist nerve center is Bosnia is because of 9/11.

I don't think it takes a genius to connect the dots and understand that terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra received most of their donations from rich countries and rich individuals. It makes sense though - spent $300 million arming a terrorist group, have them cause some panic and kill a couple hundred, then forge alliances and sign multi billion dollar contracts for arm shipments with the US or other Western nations to eliminate the same threat they originally created and use the media to convince citizens that these people are a threat to our 'freedom' and taxes must be spent on a phony war.

News / Poland directly threatened by ISIS. Do Islamists planning terrorist attacks in Poland? [390]

'Poland avoids Serbia like the plague'

I don't know how true this is as I don't have much experience with this topic outside of my family. What I can tell you is that I personally, along with my family, love Serbia and Serbians, and was very sad when Belgrade got bombed. Even thought I was in grade school when this happened, I followed this war very very closely. To my family and I, at the very least the northern part of Kosovo should be returned to Serbia. At least finally some of the Serbs previously accused of war crimes are being found innocent. It's a shame that the KLA hasn't had to face the Hague to the same degree as the Serbs. It's fact that the Kosovar Albanians were killing Serb cops in order to provide the Serbs - although this was AFTER Milosevic agreed to pull out his tanks and use only police in the area. Even after the war ended, the Kosovar Albanians and Bosnians kidnapped many Serbs and tore out their organs to sell on the black market.

The only good thing that happened was that the Serbs turned Russian radars down to a low frequency and were able to knock out a Stealth fighter using a pretty much obsolete SAM. That really embarrassed the US.

The worst thing to come out of the whole Yugoslav conflict was the birth of modern Jihadism in Europe. Even one of the 9/11 masterminds - Khalid Sheikh Muhammad - had Bosnian citizenship and fought in the Bosnian war - along with thousands of other foreigners. It is said that Osama Bin Laden also had a Bosnian passport. Under the Dayton Accords, all these foreign mujahedeen were supposed to be kicked out of Bosnia - however that didn't happen and instead they grew their base of operation and even started setting up training camps. The US did NOTHING to expel these terrorists. Many of the terrorist attacks that occurred in Madrid, London, the US, and other attacks prior to the migrant crisis had their origins in Bosnia. There individuals became international terrorists with their home base oftentimes being Bosnia. Those same individuals also fought Chechnya and Iraq and are now the most prized fighters and commanders in ISIS. ISIS even released a video last April that was specifically targeting Bosnian Muslims to either join ISIS or carry out attacks locally.

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]

Central Warsaw doesn't lack pickpockets or beggars.

That's true - especially near the train stations. I find the vast majority of the beggars and pickpockets around my city of Wroclaw tend to be the gypsy families (especially in the central square - poor kids are sent by their parents to beg for change instead of going to school) and a few older alcoholics. I don't really consider these people to be criminals - more bums than anything else. A real criminal does not beg for change or snatch purses - that's what gypsies, drug addicts and alcoholics do.

The Poles have largely been muscled out of that by similar lowlife from south-east Europe.

Yeah the Albanians tend to run the prostitution and brothels - at least in France. No one wants to work with the Albanians - not the Russians, Italians, Poles - no one. Poles will even work with the Columbians, and have on many occasions, but they don't want to work with the Albanians. Unfortunately, that does happen a quite frequently - jobs for waitresses, nursing homes, child care, etc. in the UK, France, Netherlands, etc. are advertised in Poland then once the girls get there they realize they're going to either be sold or pimped out. In the US, a good looking young girl with a connected pimp can easily make $5k to as much as $20k a week in a large city. The independent girls don't make as much but they can easily still make $2k+ a week.

ermans say (with no little justification) about Poles and stealing cars?!

In that very same sentence I wrote about car theft - car theft is common but not nearly as much as it was during the 90's. It's much harder to steal cars now because of all the high tech features and GPS's. Some of the more professional car thieves have purchased trailers that block the GDS's inside the car.

local crime rate plummeted after EU entry

In the small towns I'm sure. The drug trade certainly took off though in the larger cities. Poland now supplies Europe with most of it's amphetamines.

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]

Polish people aren't like notorious pick pockets, shoplifters, or commit larceny, robberies, etc. in staggering numbers. The best thieves in Europe I would say are the gypsies (in terms of like pick-pockets, shoplifting, confidence trick, etc.) and the professionals being the Balkan (Serbian, Bosnian, Macedonian, some Albanian) guys who usually hit jewelry stores.

I'd say that by enlarge, most Polish people are very very law abiding and have a great moral compass. The vast majority do not participate in any criminal activities. There aren't a whole lot of famous Polish criminals compared to like Turks, Brits, Irish, Italian, etc. and the more famous ones lived in the US like the Ice Man Kuklinski, Jake Guzik, and were part of an Italian mafia - not a Polish one. There's very few Poles in gangs in Chicago and no ethnically Polish gangs that I know of - at least around here. There are some younger Polish guys that run scams or sell drugs - but again a small proportion of the overall hard working Poles.

I do hear that the UK is having quite an issue with some Polish criminals though. That horse meat scandal gave me a good laugh. Although from what I've seen most of the crimes that they committed ranged from drug dealing, football hooliganism, identity theft, and fraud. Don't really see too much involved in like armed robbery, home invasion, burglary, etc. Polish criminals in Europe tend to be more into production and distribution of marijuana, amphetamine, hooliganism, murder, online fraud, and back in the 90s a lot of car theft and hijacking.

If you make yourself an easy target, Polish people who are use to hard times and dealing with 'cwianiaczki' on a daily basis in their home country, will take advantage of you - this is where the opportunism comes in. I feel a lot of the immigrant Poles have found England to be full of these types. Also, identity theft is extremely easy to both commit and get away with in the UK. A lot of Poles have great programming skills and many have realized that instead of working for a pittance at IBM, they can make a lot more money from home.

small Muslim Tartar minority

These people aren't an issue though. I don't care if we had 30,00 or 300,000 of them. They are well assimilated into our country. Many tatars fought on Poland's side through many wars. These individuals do not walk down the street calling Polish Roman Catholics infidels or create ghettos in Bialystok where terrorists are hidden by the community (as in Molenbeek again). This Tatar people even look like Poles. Unlike other minorities, they are not exploiting the country and selling it off to foreigners and cowering politically to the US and other Zionist controlled nations.

History / Is 5th partition of Poland possible? What kind? How? When? [73]

"mono-culture"

I'll take Polish mono-culture over a multi-kulti Germany that has been invaded with Muslims which will one day rule the country due to their much higher birthrates - it's just a matter of time. Certain Muslims in Germany, Sweden, Belgium, etc. are going to become interested in running for office - whether it's in parliament or even maybe the presidency one day. As the Muslim population grows exponentially, these Muslim politicians will gain more power and more votes. Soon, more radical Muslims will want to be in government too so they can implement their customs and their laws. The worst thing is, the local native Belgians, Germans, etc. who welcomed them seem not too concerned with their ancestors' culture and religion being eroded.
