Warsaw Uprising: The Heroic Last Stand of the Polish Home Army
The Soviet Red Army was rapidly approaching from the East, and after the Katyn Massacre, when the USSR executed thousands of Polish officers, fighting between the Polish Resistance and Soviet partisans in Poland only intensified.
Europe's founding myth, the original stand of Europeans against Asians, is the battle of Thermopylae. A stand that failed. Still worth standing, even in failure. Still influential on our identity. So the end result isn't what determines if it was worth to fight. If you fight for a good cause, its worth to fight, win or lose. That's the moral high ground. And even in utilitarian, consequentialist terms, losing a fight can help establish deterrence. Fighting the bully and losing still lets the bully know, there's no free lunch here. He'll have to fight for it. So he'll probably look elsewhere next time.
You are a Polak, therefore, an idiot. On the plus side, you and others like you are the poison pill Russia is not interested in swallowing. There is safety in being a dumb Polak.
If you fight for a good cause, its worth to fight, win or lose
Thank you for confirming my conclusion above.
BTW, the fight in Ukraine is "a good cause", right? So why aren't you there? Not good enough for you?
while the Soviets were taking a rest and laughing their asses off.
Exactly. That is one of a few reasons we don`t like Soviets in Poland. Poles and Polesses threw off the Soviet yoke in 1989 and have been happy with it. Contrary to modern Russia where Soviet times are recalled with sick nostalgia.
no one in the world distinguishes between these uprisings
It is communists` fault - they didn`t want to propagate the Rising which was anti Soviet, too. That is why, the communist governments didn`t insist on Germans to prosecute certain war criminals who ordered the massacres of civilians in Warsaw but later led a happy life in post war Germany.
Their objectives were achievable. AK's objectives were not.
So it depends on the result? So, Confederacy definately did the stupid thing by trying to break away from the Union - because after the defeat the South not only had to abandon slavery anyway, but also suffered lots of death and destruction as a result? The modern Bulgarian founding myth is the April Uprising, which failed. A small scale affair, middle class youths with their personal guns, capturing police stations and declaring independence. Everyone involved was killed. Still worth doing. Everything that followed, started there. Or the Winter War, where Fins fought, and lost. Still worth doing, and still the glue that holds that country together, and what foreigners recognize in the Fins as a people and a nation. I see you too would've surrendered France when the Germans got near Paris, to avoid damage to the city. And Poland disappeared from the map, to reappear how many years later? Fighting a lost struggle, that has been lost for over a century. Come on.
Once up there, ask 200,000 Poles who died for shlt if they still feel it was worth it.
niga wtf even niga the actual Warsaw uprising's (and AK's general military operation in Poland at the time) purpose was exactly to wrestle control from the Germans in Poland and make sure the Soviets wouldn't claim control over the clay through "liberation"
but why am i even trying to talk to Novichok again
