He was a decent chap. Damn he wasn't that old either. RIP.

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


Russia is not the Soviet Union and at the movement graduated to fourth or third tier in the pecking order of the world powers. Heck, Putin insists that is not so but unfortunately for him reality begs to differ.

Anyway American regard for a strong Russia doesn't' equate with and offer of partnership and doesn't even imply anything else but position of a local power. Not that Russia is in position to realistically aspire to anything else.

Hence I doubt very much that USA regards Russia as a biggest threat to the US interests rather regards them as a nuisance.


Poland is not 'Russophobic' that is BS.


Annexed lands? Poland didn't annex no lands that didn't belong to Poland before. When it comes to Russia Poland attacked them only once and on that occasion Poles took Moscow (not almost) for three years and then offered union to Russians on better terms than that the EU's has to offer but they declined and chosen to remain barbarians.


It is a question of the point of view it is a question of experience and knowledge. Russia would have need to change her tune a lot rather than go for all those petty harassments and threats - about which none give a damn (expect maybe for the apple planters - what they ever done to ?Russia anyhow?).


Nah, it is rather Russia that is afraid of a fair competition with Poland on the other hand is unable to work out a real working compromise..


Really? so why they would set their national holiday or some such


on the 4rd October commemorating "liberation" of Moscow from Poles in 1612. Eh?


They would want to, no doubt about it.


It has nothing to do with our debate. We are talking Poland - Russia.


No, when Russia is weak and worn out then is the time she is showing off and presenting abs, acting aggressively.
So the right answer is they are afraid that the world will see them for what their are at the moment weakened and vulnerable.


No, they see Poland as a board piece to be played not as an opponent or a possible partner and here is the crux of t he problem. Is that is not obvious to you.

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


Interesting thought that they butt into something they evidently don't understand regardless of their claims and what is not even their business for the most part as far as we can tell. As they say they don't have a dog in this fight or they haven't came clean about that.

Yes, a lot of BS have been written about political situation in Poland by the foreigners living in Poland.

Anyway the State Department is meddling something bad into Poland's affairs:
'On February 10, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland traveled to Warsaw, Poland, to meet with senior government officials, political party leaders, and members of civil society and the think tank community to discuss a broad range of bilateral and regional issues'

Right :)
Maybe someone recorded what she has been talking about with Petru. It would be interesting to listen.

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


So you are aware that USA regards existence of a strong Russia in geopolitical terms as a stabilizing factor in this part of the world. If you are talking about NATO role and western actions and plans you need to remember that one rather important factor.


That is an obvious conclusion right? To Poland a neighboring country with a strong military and a history of aggressive policy towards Poland that proved to be many time over to be hostile to Poland and country's very existences than some Muslim camel worshipers in a remote location. What they can do? Blow themselves up and repeat it few times? Not nice, but nothing to be overtly concerned with.


Hmm, the point of the matter is that don't need a good reason in your understanding of the term. They don't think like that for them Poland need to either part of Russian sphere or at lest to be a vassal state. Russia see independent Poland as a threat to their own existence or at last to their own existence as the world power and for the present for them there is no distinction/difference between those two. At the very least see Poland as an ample and able tool that can be used by their 'rivals' to undermine them.


Provoking? You mean Poland is not an impendent country that can invite however they want to station on her territory? Interesting.
What is Russia so afraid of? Are they seriously think that the NATO troops will invade Russia? What reason has NATO to attack Russia and who they are going to overcome nuclear weaponry of that country?

NATO troops on the Polish soil are not a threat to Russia or to the Russian security. Those NATO (American) troops by their very presence thwart all long term plans Kremlin might have to restore a former glory of their Russian/Soviet 'empire'!


Are you for real? I see if I invite people you don't like to my house you as a good neighbor will be justified to eventually set a fire to it? Hmm ...that is the way the Russians might think but that just give a strong credence for having a strong presence of an allied armed force on the ground. Just in case. After all normal people do not think like that.

Seriously though, that is Russia claimed certain right on Poland, which Poland clearly deny. There is conflict between two countries as to the status of Poland. The latter refuses to succumb to the former's narrative and claims that there are certain rights and privileges Russia enjoys in Poland.


Bring it on! Either Russia recognizes Poland's status as a country free in its own right or she can act as if would have some claims on Poland in which case it will all end badly for Russia.

Anyway there is no war possible at the movement. Russia is weak, unprepared and not ready for war at the movement and the way they act is a typical in those circumstances according to their doctrine.

I don't think that an answer lies in an attitude. Simply Poland needs an elite that know how, in diplomacy as well.

Lithuanian governments are the problem here.


Nah, this country has a potential to be a very good ally to Poland.

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


Hmm ..how? The only real way to counterweight Russia is for Poland and other countries of the eastern Europe to build their own close knitted alliance partly military like NATO and partly economical like EEA.

That would shift a geopolitical balance from Russia to Poland&friends and would bring stability to this part of the world.

they claimed that sky is blue and grass is green - so what? After all Louis Armstrong sang about it as well. Would all those people who are talking about a blue sky or a green grass are PZPR by definition or are they black American artists or both? Your illogical claims are naught but BS.

If you put your mind into something worthwhile instead of squandering your potential on fun, mischief and chaos it would do you good.


Indeed being a willing and a kin tool of the foreign involvement in pressuring Poland into things that are against national interest is not something a decent human being let alone a responsible citizen would applaud.

Those who are making a step forward on their path to act against Polish national interest by actively seeking foreign protectors and by defaming and slandering their own country can be righty condemned as a treacherous spawn their are. They are harmful to all Poles and to their own country.

Delph in the light of the above your constant effort to defect a sting of the truth from those miserable, pitiful souls as well as your staunch defense of such practices can be only seen as a malicious act. Since you know better one has to wonder what a stake do you have in this fight?


Grow up! KOD and others were laying bucket loads about his trip to USA that once a one lie has been debunked and then another, people started to peel that particular story like an onion. It is possible ( I don't know) that someone went one layer too far and you are making much of to deflect any criticism you are due for support that you have lent to all those lies told about Mr. K and by Mr. K and on the behalf of Mr. K before the truth came to light.

Almost and you know it too.


About facts being distorted by propaganda. Sorry I skipped most of what you wrote there about popes as all that have no bearing on the argument were are having here. How hard is to understand it?.


If so why are you getting all worked up and talk a lot about the Church? Bugger off from the Church they are only doing their job. Legislation is Parliament's prerogative.


Oh come on, percentage of pedophiles in priesthood is lower than in any other profession of public trust that is dealing with children. So you to bring some BS of that sort into this subject. The issue here is not what one or other priest is doing or not but to whether or not you are convinced that human life is sacred? If you do ask yourself a question if there is even a small chance that that what some call a cluster of cells is already a human being unformed, underdeveloped but with all the potential already there would you be still so kin to discard it into a garbage. If you don't ....there is nothing to talk about.


What if they hear about it only day and night just because some people who hate Church are yapping about it constantly? Democracy has had made a many mistakes not to mention corruption. The same goes for USA and a federal government and if you talk only about rouge or corrupted politicians or federal or a state employees then the list is endless. Does all those miscarriages of justice, mistakes and crimes nullify a right of the USA to exist or to 'preach' liberalism, democracy and freedom to others?

The same with the church some people won't be taking priests seriously some will but it by no means nullify role of the Church as a moral signpost.


Pencils doesn't have brains and free will. Pencils are unanimated objects and if you say that you rather follow the lead of your little head rather then your brain at least be a man enough to face the consequences.

Quite the opposite Ziemowit. People and I mean younger people are getting more and more interested in the stolen Polish lands. I would say that older and middle age people are the ones who are not interested in that subject all.


Nah, I see it for what it is - a lack of self-confidence and a mental bondage. All that worked hand in glove with an argument that had been drummed into the heads of the populace in Poland during commie times that excused theft of Polish lands by claiming that the acquisition of Prussian lands was a compensation for the land that Soviets took. All that BS seems to be satisfying for people raised in the servitude.


It is another thing that hasn't been dealt properly with in Poland. It needs to be addressed sooner or later.

Nah, you rather tell me what I think and how I think and why I think wrong.
Bah, you know nothing about what I know and what I think! Furthermore its not I who is having problems with stringing up few sensible arguments together. Every time I ask for arguments your brain is going into some kind of the emotional meltdown. Are you snorting up stuff and hence your problems?

She presented herself a daughter of expellees if not an expellee herself after that lie had been exposed. Then she was going from one blunder to another until finally she was forced to quit. To sum it up she was a fraud, a lair if you prefer.

Really and how would you know, you have no clue yourself, you are in no position to tell. I guess that for an Ozzie boy the amount Germans know about history is staggering.

See, that is the reason you annoy me, you know noting about anything and you always presume some BS.
She wasn't/isn't an expellees herself nor were her parents or grandparents hence is a found presenting herself as an expellee. If you take her rumbling seriously then in that light I'm an expellee myself.

Do you get it now or do you need a freaking map?


There was a controversy because she was promoting German's government project to build an institute that would promote German version of the story of so called expellees. In Addition it narrative focused only on Poland and Bohemia as alleged main culprits of expulsion and deaths of millions of Germans.

Coupled with almost complete ignorance of the German public as to the role and deeds of Germans in Poland during the war it is rightly considered a step that would generate enmity in the future. Do you have problem with that Ozzie? Can your romanticized and unrealistic view on Germans and Germany deal with that? Are you emotionally capable to see beyond your narrow vision?


So make your case what is stopping you? Repeating the same sentence many times over doesn't count.
Make your argument on ethical, moral, political, practical, historical or utilitarian ground. Pick some or all of them and make your case. If you are unable to argue your case just can it for good this time. Coming here with an opinion you cannot defend makes you look like a village idiot and a pest.
