Anybody who is an impartial observer can clearly see that I refuted every one of your claims, so much so that it seems you pretty much gave up on the argument.
You are making no sense, the above is gibberish. Why are you so coy? Why not be open instead masking yourself in a lie, do you believe that smolensk was an accident or do you agree with your leader that it was an assassination?The Miller report made it quite clear that it was an accident, so what is it an accident or an assassination?
It's you who are reinventing his words, you are making **** up just because you hate him. Besides Polish/Russian relations are not dependent on Poland, they are dependent on Russia. Obviously PIS must think that Russia is fantastic since they trust Russia more than the Polish government.
A recent headline: "PiS to pożyteczni idioci Moskwy" I couldn't have put it better myself even if i tried.
You know whatever else, I always considered you to be a patriot, I seriously doubt if you really are anymore.
And some news related to PIS: Former PiS minister sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for corruption.
Who would vote for these cretins?

Didn't you mother teach you that lying is a sin? Tusk said no such thing, he only said that Polish/Russian relations have been the best they had been for a very long time-big difference. It also happens to be true.
More than Happy to. Because Poland's miller report is largely in agreement.
That is yet another untruth. You know that Polish investigators were involved in the investigation, that why they were able to come up with the Miller Report.
They have the transcripts, and are on record saying that the black boxes are not necessary to the investigation.
You are the one who is lying constantly, and putting words in Tusk's mouth he never said. Though I am not surprised, you have learnt from your idol and savior
I am sorry that your brain is incapable of processing the idea of diplomacy.
With a rational person that might be the case, but I am debating with an irrational person who perfectly fits the mould of a Kaczynski supporter-in other words never admits to the truth and lies shamelessly.

Not well enough for you PIS friends.
Just because you say so doesn't make it fact. The fact that you do not care to explain why indicates to me that deep down you know you can't refute this claim, because despite the the number of past centuries the comparison is very apt.
In every way they can. Poland's approach to Russia is based on reality and practicality. Because the majority of the conclusions made by the Russian report are correct, especially in relation to the fact that the crash was an accident and not an assassination-as the pathological liar Kaczynksi claims.
Its no such thing, it is an open invitation to Russia to meddle in Polish politics. If passed it would have opened the road for Russia to play the game of divide and conquer. Putting it generously it can be described as an act of gross stupidity by a party which should be never allowed to have its hands on the leavers of government again, and putting it at its worst it can be described as an act bordering on treason.
How can a party that trusts the Russian Duma more than the Polish Sejm ever be taken seriously again?

Suddenly there are problems and Russian are bad and impeding ?

This response illustrates perfectly your dilettante approach to politics. Firstly by saying that "They wanted only appeal to the Russian Parliament to influence their government" you are making the assumption, that the Russian powers that be are willing to cooperate with the Polish government, which is a false assumption. The Russians do not want to cooperate in this matter however, they are only too willing to meddle in Polish affairs and impede and hamper Poland. So your assumption at best, can be described as naive, and at worst as stupidity on stilts squared by infinity.
So given that the Russians have no intention of cooperating with the Polish government, Kaczynski's appeal to as you yourself put it "influence" the Polish government, is a an appeal to the Russians to undermine Polish sovereignty-ala the Targowica Confederation which called on the Russians to help restore Poland's Golden Freedom.
And just because Tusk can't get the Russians to cooperate, what makes you think that PIS would be anymore successful? Do you honestly believe that Fotyga would have more of a chance than Sikorski- again your total ineptitude for any sort of political intuition is plain for all to see. Just as you got the outcome of the previous election completely wrong, you have got this wrong as well.
They wanted only appeal to the Russian Parliament to influence their government to give back to Poland the black box and wreckage of the plane.Which that should do in the first place.

I think that it is quite natural, actually most people find the US system a bit arcane (investing so much power in a single person-it's almost quasi monarchical). In most European countries apart from France, power is wielded by the party.
It's also true under the Westminster System-in which people vote for the party, the party elects its leader, and the queen calls on the leader of the majority party to form government.
Members of Parliament (the Sejm), are called Pos£owie. And members of the senate are called Senators (Senatorowie).

I think that Komorowski looks the part, he could loose a bit of weight though.
kaczynski looks the least presidential out of the lot. Short of stature, lets face it quite ugly in appearance: Round head
Beady eyes
no chin, or a distinct lack of a chin-quite literally a chinless wonder
weak jaw line
I think the best way to describe him metaphorically, would be to say that his ancestors spent their lifetime digging up potatoes, and have consequently acquired the appearance of a potato and passed it on to Kaczynski.
As for Ziobro, he seems to have a very immature appearance, that of a school boy-and not in a nice way.
He has a weak chin, and a very strong jaw line-ape like.

This is not just simply asking, this is asking whilst at the same time advising the Russians that Poland is incapable of investigating the resolution itself.
So what makes them think that Russia will do a better job? Why should the Russians intervene in internal Polish affairs?
There is plenty of precedent for such treasonous behavior in Poland's past.
Is Kaczynski such a stupid imbecile that he actually thinks that the Russians will do a better job of investigating the crash? Once again PIS will do anything to get their hands on power even tarnish Poland's name, drag it through the mud, and appeal to a foreign power to intervene in Polish politics.
Parliamentary resolution directed at Parliament of the foreign country are not unheard of!
Asking for the Russian Parliamentary intervention is not a treason, its politic.

In the majority of cases no, for the simple reason that cities like Breslau, already had names like Wroclaw etc, since some of those lands once belonged to Poland so they already had names. As for the places that didn't,I am not sure.

History / The story about German- Polish reconciliation [194]
Poland's foreign minister has gone beyond mere reconciliation, and has set out on building a close relationship. This is his recent statement delivered to Parliament:
" On account of our bilateral trade, but also increasingly due to the similarities between our economic cultures and political concepts, Germany is our most important European partner. Whether we look at its population, GDP, or the voting powers acquired under the Lisbon Treaty, Germany is the biggest shareholder in the European Union . The ‘biggest’ – with around one-fourth of shares – but not the ‘dominant’ one. This means that it is difficult to get anything done in the EU against Germany’s will, but it also means that in order to implement its ideas, Germany must look for more than just one partner. If a given endeavour is at risk, obviously it is the biggest shareholder that has the greatest responsibility – and the most means – to come to the rescue. We want to work together towards a stronger Union. As I said to our German friends during my speech in Berlin: “Provided you include us in decision-making, Poland will support you.”"

If that report is true, which is a possibility-the way these things work is that you can't show that you are too keen or otherwise you are viewed as too ambitious, what usually happens is that your minions sound everybody out by putting forward a hypothetical scenario, which goes something like this: "If Mr Tusk declared his interest in running for EU president/chairman would you vote for him? Based on the information the minions get, they brieaf Tusk with the information, and if there is enough support for him he declares his interest in a subtle way.
Having said all of this, he is on record as saying that he is not interested, so if he said that he was that would mean that he has changed his mind.
You going to put me up whilst I give him my support(:
I would have you know that last year and early this year i lived in Poland for a grand total of 2 months, i did not get the opportunity of supporting him apart from arguing with my family about how silly they are disliking him and supporting kaczynski instead. Unfortunately some Poles are caught in a communist mindset, they view everything through the same old prism, and although they profess how much they hate communism they are nostalgic about the social security that went along with communism.
you are not completely up to date with fresh political news from Poland - Danuta Huebner PO EUMP announced that Donald Tusk is an official Polish candidate to the post of the Chairman (President?) of European Commission (the EU government) (the current one is Manuel Barroso to focus your attention) - this is so much for the Tusk's retirement plans

I think that the above description is more attributable to Kaczynski than to Tusk, after all Kaczynski sees himself as the "savior", or did you forget about how he described the situation how people where calling on him to save Poland. If he was a man of greater charisma and stature such an observation would be frightening, but given what he is it is rather funny and sad.
Yes that probably explains why he has decided to retire in 2014, and in the process sacrificed his personal ambition in the part's favor-just like he refused to nominate for President because he wanted to be the PM, so he could actually do something for Poland.
I understand you think Donald Tusk is a man with a vision - I believe that the only vision Donald Tusk has is for himself (with Poland in the background - a situation similar to Hitler's) (perhaps he would like to imagine himself as a father of a nation - but a nation conceived by such a figure will be a nation of psychotic egoistic bastards)

Well you are not very observant, because Tusk himself is on record as saying that he will not lead his party to the next election. Tusk will retire in 2014, giving his successor (most probably Sikorski or Nowak) the opportunity of cementing his position for the 2015 election. The thing with Tusk is that he is 10 steps ahead of his opponents, before Kaczynski even manages to wipe his arse in the morning Tusk already has the rest of the day planned out.
That is why PO and Tusk are taking the tough decisions early, so that Tusk's successor has an easier run at the next election campaign. What will probably happen is that Tusk's successor will have a honeymoon period, all the tough decisions will be taken care of, the economy will hopefully be well and truly in the boom phase again, hopefully Kaczynski will still be the opponent-older and probably more demented than before, which will mean that all things taken together PO should win a 3 consecutive term in office.
you have your views and I have mine - and I also see that there is some movement behind the scenes to get rid of Tusk as he 'worn himself out'

I believe that the definition of madness is trying the same things over thinking that you are going to get a different result. I distinctly seem to remember that you were saying the same things before the general election, and the only thing that happened is that people like me and pawian were proved right and you and ironside were proved wrong. So my question is how many times do you need to have egg over your face to realize that the vast majority of people don't see Poland's reality the way you do.
What they see is a increasingly prosperous country which is weathering the economic storm around it, a competent government that is prepared to take the tough decisions for the country's future. And than they see a weak and divided opposition who can do nothing else but criticize, led by a leader with a distinctly probable metal illness. Why would anybody vote for this so called opposition, when they are a complete shower. How can they possibly govern Poland when they can't even govern themselves. And who can honestly say that they feel any attraction towards a party with a mentally ill leader, and a spokesman (Hoffman) that is a chubby cheeked opportunist who will stoop to anything to win power for the sake of it.
I think that this division is could news, it will mean that Poles will only have to vote once in the presidential election.

Was a Russian not a Pole. Bach-Zalewski had a Polish background though.
A mate of mine has a (completly random) theory about this. The Poles and Russians still "goose step" because its the best way not to slip and fall on snow and ice :) Never mind that it destroys your lower legs....just dont want people falling over on parade :)

History / The story about German- Polish reconciliation [194]
I think Jordan could be Dutch, Deresz possibly Swedish or German, and Prugar-Ketling possibly German as well, or at least 1/2 his surname indicates this. Though as you pointed out that isn't 100% definite, although the others almost certainly are.

One interesting historical paradox is that while the Germans gave up on the Prussian march otherwise know as the "goosestep"-for obvious historical reasons, the Poles continue to practice it:

History / The story about German- Polish reconciliation [194]
(: a good attempt
However there are a few more Polish generals of German origin in WWII:
Władysław Langner
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mieczyslaw_Norwid-Neugebauer
Bronisław Prugar-Ketling
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronis%C5%82aw_Prugar-Ketling
The following didn't fight in WWII but they fought for Poland in the Polish-Bolshevik war: General dyw. Gustaw Orlicz-Dreszer
Tadeusz Jordan-Rozwadowski:
General dyw. Jan Edward Romer
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Romer
And on the topic of German/Polish reconciliation I can't think of a better example than Róża Maria Gräfin von Thun und Hohenstein, a Polish member of the EU parliament. Her son Christoph Thun und Hohenstein speaks Polish and German and will spend part of his studies in Poland and Germany.

At least we were able to Germanize this guy:

I don't doubt you have a lot of pulling power but I think the Poles have got more.
A few examples:
some notable Polish generals of German origin who fought for Poland in WWII, including:
General Franciszek Kleeberg-arguably the best polish general in the conflict.

Władysław Anders
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw_Anders
And General Juliusz Rómmel
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliusz_R%C3%B3mmel
apparently a relation of the desert fox
Józef Unrug
fought for Germany in WW1 and later for Poland in WWII
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zef_Unrug
I think that is partly because this:

Don't underestimate our power to Germanize Slavs.

You got to be careful with that delph, you do know that Frederick the Great counterfeited the Polish currency(:
it turned out that he already had a copy of this poster, he will take one home and leave the other in the office(:
Faced with looking exceptionally stupid, the guy saw a 100zl note in my wallet and said (in Polish!) - we can accept Zloty.

Komorowski, who was also an anti-communist dissident, gave Gauck an original historic poster of Solidarity.
