They can't even control radical Islamists at home!

Germany doesn't invest in military because it doesn't need to. They will continue to do their bare minimum because they know there are numerous buffer states around them. Furthermore, UK and France, a stone throw's away, both have nukes. Imagine if a hypothetical war were to break out between France and Germany. Hitler would've laughed at the French military being superior to the German, yet that's the present situation today.

It's just a theory on why so many men have lost the will to fight. I think it's because their ultra liberal multikulti society created so many cucks. But what do I know... sexual or non, they are cucked... if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... well you get the idea...

In Freudian analysis, cuckold fetishism is the eroticization of the fears of infidelity and of failure in the man's competition for procreation and the affection of females. In his book Masochism and the Self, psychologist Roy Baumeister advanced a Self Theory analysis that cuckolding (other forms of sexual masochism) among otherwise mentally healthy people was a form of escapism. According to this theory, cuckold fetishists are relieving themselves of the stress of the burden of their social role and escaping into a] simpler, less-expansive position.

Sounds about right with German society... They've lost the will to fight (Trump's Poland speech) and have simply allowed this strange destructive form of multikultism pushed by shampoo socialists and limousine liberals to almost completely erode their fabulous culture, civilization, etc. People like Bach, Charlemagne, Bismarck, Martin Luther, Gutenberg, Planck, etc must be rolling in their graves knowing how their German culture is being eroded and may even gradually become nearly extinct. Instead of confronting the issues head on, i.e. German women being raped and intervening to prevent it from happening by gangs of young male migrants, they have instead put on their pink sunglasses, silenced the issue, ostracized the fine men and women who are sick of it and want to do something about it via threats, fines, jail, organized and paid NGO's and other groups to promote said multikultism (i.e. antifa). Media doesn't talk about it, the police don't make accurate reports, women are scared to walk around alone, there's non stop stories coming out of refugee camps of staff being beat up and raped, theres women groped in pools and huge amounts on NYE, it's just awful what is happening to them. I wish Poland could even help the fine Germans who want their once wonderful way of life (even up until roughly the past 10 or so years) restore their pride and dignity. But too many Germans have simply lost the will.... you can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped. Germany can accept migrants. It SHOULD accept mirgants and be multicultural and sophisticated. But the way they are going about it is just simply destructive - especially for native Germans citizens - and its not just Germany either sadly. There are fortunately those who don't want to be a part of this. Some are a bit too far xenophobic but nonetheless groups like Pegida, AfD - who did WONDERFULLY in the last elections and is going to be a pain (GOOD!) to Merkel, Identitaires, Golden Dawn, etc and people like Le Pen, Trump, Obran, Duda, etc are making a stand. We are saying our society and culture is great! We welcome people from all walks of life and all corners of the world who wish to work, assimilate, contribute and live with others in peace. But we won't be bullied into changing our values, belief structures, culture, etc.

It's like in any prison around the world. A puny man will be the 'b!tch/cuck/punk/etc' of a larger, more powerful (sometimes not even physically but mentally) man and will give him head and take it up the rear as it is preferable to the violent gang rapes, assaults, stabbings, etc. he would experience without the 'protector.'

Not to mention how bad the local Jews have it in places like Germany and France. It's no wonder so many are making Aliyah. Good for them!

The Jews are BEGGING for the government to protect them and their citizens since they have to deal with anti-Semitism which pervades Muslim society - even amongst the more 'civilized' ones. Just look at what happened in France during Palestinian demonstrations... entire neihgborhoods, police stations, cars, all on fire.. people being evacuated, cop cars being shot up and police running away scared, fire fighters cant come in to the put the flames out... nationwide state of cuckolding... I mean nationwide state of emergency...

As much as I talk sh!t about Jews I actually have no problem with them. It's more specifically Zionists, and Jews who have wronged people - not just Poles. (I consider myself an equal opportunity hater hehe. Jews to me are an important part of Poland (regardless of what the very far right parties in PL think) as well as Europe at large and the governments esp in France/Germany/etc are failing to protect their own peaceful, law abiding, tax paying citizens against hordes of foreigners that rape, pillage, and plunder - literally...

Restrains itself?!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAH. Just like they 'restrained themselves' from tightening their border. Just like they restrained themselves from doing something about the problems with terrorism, rape, and crime. THEY ARE CUCKED! It's plain and simple. They even have a commie Stalinist statue in the middle of Berlin to commemorate the FALL OF BERLIN BY STALIN. It is a country where citizens polish the statues of the people who conquered them and remove their own symbols so as not to offend any new comers. Now the islamists are finishing what Stalin didn't. They are allowing people from all over to walk over them - including Poles lol. Some fine German men and women are standing up to this insanity but unfortunately not enough. They're more interested in not offending people and arresting individual for thought crimes (i.e. arrests and fines posting non violent opinionated posts on fb or twitter - especially about the migrant 'burden' that Germany is asking Poland to share). Germans even take down crosses so as not to offend Muslims. They bend over backwards for them and yet the Muslims spit on you and your liberal ideas. Instead of being proud about their 2 thousand year history, they remove symbols of their culture and civilization since a cross on a church might offend passing Muslims...

Germany's military is only marginally more powerful than Poland. In all honesty, I'd even put my money on Poland's military over Germany's in a war simply because far too many German men have lost the will to fight and stand up for their country, nation, culture, etc. They've been cuckolded (which is also a fetish that some men enjoy so maybe the reasons are even psychological?)

Also, France and UK would never let an upstart nationalist sort of Germany get its own nukes. For as wealthy as Germany is, their army isn't even close to France and UK. Hell they're closer to Poland despite double the population and a way way wealthier economy.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]

In that case it was def an underage girl.

Yes the us legal system is pretty corrupt. Its money at the lower level meaning if you get a misdemeanor or even a minor felony you can get it easily lowered to different charge, as long as you can pay the huge fees and convince the judge ur going to just an upstanding tax paying citizen during whatever probation supervision or other bs they give. Criminal punishments are far lower than many other oced countries.

In case involving people like Weinstein and other wealthy powerful people esp sex crimes, financial crimes, even murders its sort of a who you know and the evidence. Sadly it runs on a system of as long as you have connections and didn't leave behind much evidence a lot of the times its very hard to convict.

Not only that enforcement is lax. In my city only about 12% of murders result in a conviction (majority) or are in self defense or by policy (minority of that 12%)

Not at all. Were not concerned with germanys military power being greater than ours. In fact we wouldn't mind more military coop. What we don't like is Germany Brussels etc forcing an ideology culture and society that they have for other EU countries esp the eastern euro ones. If they want to have a million migrants from me and Africa that's fine. If they want to have a welfare state fine. If they want to diminish the role of their xhristian culture tradition etc and even want to jail people over non violent opinionated Facebook n twitter posts that's fine too. But don't push that bs on Poland and we won't push our culture belief systems ideology on Germany and those states.

Multiculturalism was supposed to 'emhance' and 'enrich' nations which in many cases it does. Poland's multi kulti system involves 1 mln ukranians and tons of Chechens Indians former USSR citizens and people coming from even Africa turkey Iraq Italy Spain us UK whatever etc to study and work. Yet they want to push their multicultural policies on us which failed them. They say we have to share the burden. Well for one its not our burden, we never asked for this migration and welcomed in people like Merkel did, yet now were expected to share in this 'multicultural' burden or rather blunder of Germany n a few other nations.

News / Polish-German Reconcilliation Seminar [491]


While I dislike Soviet/Commie ideology, I have respect for it. It is utterly ruthless in a grand chess game sort of way. Stalin was a genius, an evil genius but a genius nonetheless. He saved the USSR through pure ruthless efficiency and even moved all his factories on millions of train box cars past the Urals to save the raw materials and tank factories. It was more important to save the USSR than keeping statistics on dead workers, starved people in Siberia, etc. The soldiers were encouraged to be drunk as hell and rape, steal, and kill everything in sight as they advanced east. They gave 1 soldier a gun, the other the bullets and dead soldiers would pick up guns/bullets from the lines, trenches, etc. Maybe if you were lucky after an hour you had a pepshka with half a clip. Stalin used sacrifice and murder in his establishment of the USSR and military advance to E Berlin in a way a surgeon uses a scalpel to a tumor in a scale quite like no other individual in history. He is arguably the ultimate conqueror of the 20th century and is still celebrated by academics and even citizens who hoist his image in parades (sure offends me a bit but such is free speech - if a commie wants to raise a stalin or whatever poster they can't say sh!t if some redneck raises one of Hitler - who was more a Hollywood druggie who masterfully exploited a situation using propaganda, scapegoating, and extreme violence and genocide.) Hitler I'd argue somewhat had more of a heart than Stalin (with everyone but to Jews of course with whom he was just awful and maniacal - with Poles he actually relented a bit after conquering and many old poles say that the treatment under Nazis was far more preferable to that of Stalin's Red army. - Stalin killed his own people and even own family. Taking a USSR citizens' life was nothing more than stepping on an art to him). They are true masters of asymmetric and now hybrid style warfare. It has since morphed and both the modern right and left have taken ques out of it - as well as Italian/German fascism. Each successive political, economic, social system and construct borrows from preceding ones and influences successive ones.

Sure i'll find some info on this. To my understanding most of that treaty was regarding surveying lands to sort out a polish german border given the unification, fall of berlin wall, establishing a more formal border, etc. I believe reparations were brought up for ww2 damages but ultimately they for the most part just focused on sorting out a border line of Germany and Poland to form the more exact modern border today.

If anyone lived in PL in the 90's you'd know that the average person was basically poorer than the 70's and 80's as it was a shock to the country to from 2 vastly different systems - socialist/communist/command market to democratic capitalism. The currency was swapped, unemployment super high, and tons of corruption, mafias in the cities, kidnappings of businessmen and extortions, luxury car theft from the west, etc. Income inequality was vast. It was even worse in Russia and Ukraine but Poland, Hungary, Czechy, Romania, etc weren' totally spared neither. While Poles rejoiced they and the rest of E Europe were free, Germany was unified, etc. these post soviet bloc countries were poor. Inflation hit hard, years of chronic under investment, poor development, etc. That's why EU funds and other money was earmarked to bring this up to speed and so everyone can make money on it - again 2/3 of capital and securities in Polish banks today is foreign, only about 1/3 is actually Polish.

News / Polish-German Reconcilliation Seminar [491]


Yes my agenda is promotion of Polish interests and better relations with Poland's neighbors. I'm not denying that. Again, Poland didn't have the political clout nor economic power that they did getting out the 90's. The cooperation between Poland, Germany, US, and EU at large - ESPECIALLY the post-commie countries is far far different today than the 90's - when all of Europe east of berlin was getting out of boot of Lenin/Stalin and the USSR he left behind. I may add that Poland DID ask for reparations early in the 90s but didn't have the power to really go after this and they had to ally with whatever chauffeur driven politicians offering them loans, industry, investment, infrastructure, etc - as happens all around the world in developing, post-war, post-independence (meaning just got under the subjugation of a far larger superpower like the rest of the ussr nations declaring independence) nations. Time and people make the events. This is now Poland's time to get this as the situation is ripe for it. If we are wise and use the EU investments given to us in a strategic way, we should also use this unique set of circumstances to reconcile with Germany, and perhaps Ukraine and Russia in time. In those talks, reparations ought to be brought up as Poland is doing now because the time is ripe. I don't want PL to be cut off economically, politicaly, etc from Germany and EU. However, if we're going to go along as friends in the future we have to mind past wrongs and like I said perhaps that will include Poland helping the Germans and Jews who were in PL as well.

News / Polish-German Reconcilliation Seminar [491]


And no that was a figure 1 person threw out in the media, others have said 700+ bil, - this is just a starting negotiation position.


See its all about cooperation and finding a middle ground. The amount to real victims (and perhaps their spouses, kids -basically immediate family) - Poles, Jews, Germans (perhaps even Roma, handicapped people, etc) in lands that were battle fields in Poland, the Germans would be a bit higher. Numbers vary greatly. The comfort women of South Korea were paid some $1,300 or so in the 50's 60's but that's like 10k today and Gaddafi paid the victims of Lockerbie several millions (I think 10 mil per dead to family). This is where the lawyers, international affairs specialists, analysts, etc. are working with one shred lawyer or politician being smart and using a pie in the sky number which obviously won't happen - Germany is not going to give 700bil-1tril that's unreasonable, or at least based on my knowledge of international business and such seems to be. I think an amount more similar to the South Korean reparations (this program I'm proposing is actually almost ideal to the SK - Japan reparation agreements) would be fair for a dead family member, women who went through rape, etc. People who have reasonably valid claims could do so in the separate appropriate courts with a more streamlined process. This may be the biggest issue because there's been property transfers during and after commie times, a lot of stuff was a bit illegally appropriated or at least immorally, there was corruption, etc. There were a bit of Germans that came to work and were used as slave labor within Poland even that weren't expelled bc of Stalins desire for land and slaves (including in E Germany and other post commie countries). The ones who came to Poland a lot of them were like basically part of an incentive program by the Nazis to live in the lebensraum (kind of like how Israel actually is doing now with in occupied Palestinian lands but that's another topic and debate). These individuals along with the Nazis conscripted poles into the Wermacht along with other minorities who they deemed 'good enough' not to immediately gas in their eyes. One of these individuals was the one who cut my uncles fingers off. I feel these for all guys, along with the Germans who have reasonable claims, Jews, Poles, etc. could def work it out.

Except the yanks have the best equipment, most troops, most nukes, most oil, most money and sell their stuff to France and German and are basically 95% of NATO themselves. Without US, NATO would have a tough time and the Germans, French and Brits know that. Gradually the British are starting to care a bit less with Brexit and all since they're an Island so they'd prolly make peace with Putin or nonaggress if it came down to it. Nonetheless, Brits are still important and they and France contribute a lot. Germany eh sort of. Germany's army isn't even actually all that much larger than Poland's despite being 2x the population and far richer. We have a lot troops and military spending is very high esp considering the standards for EU nations and our means.

The trillion is obviously a pie in the sky number. Idk what it'll be settled for honestly if its 1% or whatever. Go ask a Pole or anyone for that matter if he'd or she'd want a free whirpool lol even to perhaps even use as a machine to make foreign corporations money - in this case German ones so why not Siemens for example? But honestly it wouldn't be Polish people like just being given free stuff unless its Germans, Poles, Jews, etc on both sides who perhaps lost property, houses, lives, severe damages, (there's some jewish guys who emigrated since and have a ton of problems getting property taken during ww2 in Poland and fighting it out with the courts not to much avail - im sure there's tons of more people doing this. even we lost like a lil house and barn in lwow but like i said one thing at a time..) etc. and the rest to be used in a democratic capitalist way to enrich both countries via trade deal, investments, employment, etc. Germany and PL both get tax money, people are employed, EU funds were used wisely. Look at all the German, Dutch, British, US etc companies in Poland. Much of the money went to infrastructure which countries had built even during colonization periods. The Brits especially built roads schools hospitals etc in lands they colonized. Its ultimately how the country's people use it. Other countries are also given massive aid and their country is a shithole for that amongst other outside factors. Greece received tons of money even outside of EU funds and they blew it all on stadiums and bullshit. This was even before the migrant crisis which only further exacerbated it. Only about 1/3 of the capital in Polish banks that's sitting as cash and securities is actually polish owned - rest is foreign

The WEST Germans received marshall plan money - along with denazification, making the german citizens go to death camps to see what happened in their land, forced labor but yes money helped as Berlin and other cities were also totally obliterated. Perhaps rightfully so but nonetheless a good amount of Germans opposed Hitler. The average office cleark or mechanic joined to get a job perhaps doing papers or changing tracks on tanks. **** happens. With East Germany and everything east of it it was a way different story. Stalin didn't want money - he wanted millions of laborers and land. Gradually Germans paid out, became friends with w europe - and look now they basically lead the post WW2 order lol. However they are now cucked but that's another topic. Stalin's decision was actually a smarter and much more strategic and ruthless for the future - esp having a lil colony so closer to NATO's heart. He knew there'd be confrontation between the ideologies esp the north America and Europe vs Russia, China, its lands of the world for a long time to come. Stalin refused for any country under his control to receive western aid. He wanted German prisoners caught and still living there to be used as forced labor for like 5-10+ years... sometimes longer and perhaps you starved if you couldn't hack it..that and land... he didn't care much for western money himself esp in this context.. he put up with corruption but his game was more power

News / Polish-German Reconcilliation Seminar [491]


Of course not. I believe we should make a deal with a relatively small payment (save maybe $5-$10bil or whatever both sides can negotiate) which isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. The money would come in some say some cash installments and a good bit a loan with interest paid to Germany, foundations for victims, , trade partnerships, etc. favorable for the countries in the future. In return, Poland could help find living members since as you can imagine the paperwork is all messed up and bureaucracy poor, they can find a way to find descendants on both sides - Poles and Jews who have been fighting claims for a long time and German personal property acquired without appropriation from Germans that were forced out - esp from places like Wroclaw and such. I would recommend a statute of limitations where no further money, loans, investment capital, etc can be asked for within say 2 years to maybe clear up some lil discrepancies but after 2 years that's it - roughly up to the run-up. After that no democratically elected Polish government with results judged to be fair by modern internationally accepted standards could come to the Germany people and ask for more money after WW2. If successful, we could do this with our southern neighbor Ukraine as well to quash any issues with Volhynia, whatever Poles did to Ukranians, etc. during WW2.

Actually quite simple. At Postdam and Yalta, along with some other side meetings Europe was cut in half with Berlin the midpoint. Stalin got half, Churchill and FDR got the other. Most the Germans who settled during Nazis lands were kicked back to Germany save for a much smaller minority staying. If anything Churchill wanted to help Poland the most but everyone was sick of WW2 by then and wanted to rebuild. Then a new war was fought - the Cold War till the 90s with all its gulags prisons murders suppression one party system for the subjugated countries. Countries groups people continue to amend for those times. Like I said Germans, Japanese, other Axis powers all paid money. US and UK even helped Europe rebuild - including W Germany and did a de-Nazification program.

Puppet governments controlled by USSR. When you sign a document under duress it is invalid. That's what the lawyers among other things will aim to prove. There's a million different ways the lawyers, which I'm assuming you are not (neither am I) can poke holes in this and establish a legal case. Then its up to Germany to defend their legal position. That's how court works were preparing our case as plaintiff, Germany as defendant. The meetings are an attempt to close this thing before it reaches the courts.

3.5% isn't interest its average annual inflation (for USD anyway).I haven't done the math but $1.3 bil sounds about right. Its proportionate to what they went through. Furthermore that's just one of the several concessions they received. S Korea i belibe received over $300 mil in the 50s along with low intest loans. The $700bil to $1 tril is just a starting figure. Even if the survivors and their families received a share of $1.3 bil that'd still be significant. Were fighting for them and for the damages Poland received as a country.

I still find it so shameful that people dont want a country who was invaded resulting in millions dead and the land totally destroyed to receive justice even if it was delayed - delayed as a result of said war an 5 decades of occupation. I bet if your own family members were killed raped or tortured you would want justice not some kumbaya reconciliation.

I studied at the university of Maastricht for a little. My experience was only 2 semesters though. I absolutely loved it. If you're into culture, history and all that go to school in Europe. If you want to just drink and hook up with random women for 4 years go to the us. Chances are quite sadly that us degree will be more respected - of course depending on school but usually an average us school will be regarded higher than an average polish Hungarian Romanian Greek etc school. Only exception to that might be UK France Germany and perhaps Spain and Holland. Generally even out of even those 5 countries there's maybe 4 or 5 renowned unis and the rest fairly unknown. But if you're planning to go to grad school ultimately it doesn't rly make all that much of a difference. Naturally though you'll have it harder trying to get into a place like Harvard or lse or insead from a relatively unknown polish or even us school than a top one.

It all depends on how high you can score on the tests, how much money you have, and what kind of career you want.

Idk why people esp foreigners have this obsession w studying in Poland. I attitribute it marketing and desperation. The schools in Poland, English or polish, really aren't that great at the college level in terms of international ranking. I dont think youll find more than one pl school in the top 300 (maybe even top 500) internationally. The poles who take classes in English and are planning to stay were too dumb to get into a better school or maybe they're doing it to practice their English idk. Polish employers know the English language schools are bs and believe they operate on a you pay, you graduate basis. Its a bit of an exaggeration but that's the belief amongst many pl employers anyway.

You can do your bachelors in pl either English or polish and then go to grad school elsewhere. You'll need to send in applications which look at where you went, what your grades were, and so on. In EU a polish school won't command the same respect as say a UK French, German, dutch, etc uni but its at least acceptable. Each country has their own unique standards and processes for grad school. In us for law school you take an lsat, medical you take MCAT, business you take GMAT and all other subjects GRE.

Thats why Poland refuses to take in muslim migrants. Were more interested in maintaining a perfect 0 Muslim terror attacks than appeasing people who call any conservative a racist.

We rebuilt our country no one did it for us. If you're referring to EU funds its an investment not a gift. We believe this is a worthy cause and will continue to fight for it for the memory of our ancestors. Right now Poland's on the offensive and has a lot stronger case than the Germans. Once the US is involved and it goes up the chain its game over for them. The white house hates merkel and her cronies.
