U.K isn't Catholic so it was to be expected for them to set national interests over European peaceful co-existence.
If anything Russia-Ukraine conflict has shown that the reason for E.U's existence is still valid.
If you got an issue with the leadership in the EU. Perhaps you can try to change it?

Not only, the Szlachta begun to surrender to the critiscism of it's surrounding neighbours regarding authoritarianism seeing the emerging powers of Prussia, Austria and Russia with it's use of mass amounts of infantry (military wise) due to Lost battles with Sweden and how Sweden begun losing ground to those said powers.
How their states were organised gave them the possibility to conscript at will and be in charge of society compared to Poland-Lithuania were everything had to be duscussed before taking a decision, wether in parlament or anywhere else. Leadership wasn't so evidently clear and had to be proven by speech mostly.
In a peaceful relaxing time during boredom it's a good way to avoid escalating conflict, but it's No good if the enemy doesn't abide by those rules and attack you mercilessly anyway.
So many of the conservative and older members of the Szlachta (especially the richest) saw No other option then to become partitioned and end this non-functionality for sure.
The youngest Szlachta however disagreed and would not accept the fate of Poland to die without a fight. Rest is more or less history

Some send good morning good night, some help out with things they normally wouldn't. Some remember dates and ocassions and celebrate them to show how special you are to them etc

It's because Queen English and it's terminology is used in education in most of the world (including in Poland). So American terminology and what's said in American news aren't picked up by Poles living in Poland.
Most Poles don't watch CNN or FOX news, so if any Poles knows American terminology it's because he lives/lived in America.

Most languages have hidden terminologies which are meant only to be understood by native speakers.

It was forced from their hands at Potsdam and distributed among the spoils, you should know perfectly well it was a tactic that Stalin did (it was his demand, together with Churchills wish to weaken Germany more permanently). That way Stalin was able to give his loyal stooges a trumph card, arguing that it's the Soviet Union that guarantees Poland's western land and only an alliance with it will make Poland keep it long term.
So it's yet to be seen by Germanys actions if they truly have given up it's eastern lands as compensation or are just smiling kindly to the music being played.

@GefreiterKania
I am descended from west Slavic tribes that survived Germanisation thanks to the banners of the piasts and their expansion and, later on the elites who were able to hold on until the time of the partitions. If I owe anything it is to every single Pole.
If Germans truly want reconciliation they should make steps for it. So far there have been children steps, which PiS wrongly assumed as a major trend or thought could gain something out of instead of building on it.
They started playing poker instead of building bridges and called the Germans on their sincerity. Clearly the Germans were merely testing the waters wether or not Poles can be lumped together with Greeks and others "They just want our money".
Which again can lead to a more trade focused relationship and monetary exchanges.
Germans will remain Germans, and friendship with any German should be reserved at the individual level according to me. Until further time in the future, it's strictly business with them and their influence is aimed at increasing and maintaining that influence, even at the cost of destabilising the situation in Poland if seen as in need of it.
Neither Swedes as a people are interested in reconciliation nor Germans, and if Germans are then they want it as cheap as overly possible with pragmatic approach as a goal for economical goals.

One thing is to think of current young generation of Germans as responsible for ww2 attrocities (which is wrong)
Another is to ignore the consequences ww2 as a whole brought to eastern europe.
Thinking that generations older then 35+ didn't live the consequences of WW2 and it's aftermath is ignoring the situation that Poland's economical situation of 1990+ was postponed due to tyranically imposed communist authorities by the Soviet Union.
One only has to know about the economical situation of eastern Germany to grasp it even a little.
There is a grudge about it, legally settled or not. How Germany will counter that grudge is up to them, financially or through different means? I don't know

History / Crazy 1990s in Poland - transition from communism to capitalism - stories [111]
@Alien
Social (basing communication on verbal social interactions), easily leads to corruption and deals being solely based on connections and type of mentality like: «scratch my back, I scratch yours»
Socialism is a form of ideology which bases it's system on that and that of resolving most issues including trade.
While Capitalism is easily more focused on written communication, items, goods being on time, right amounts and production of goods and services in need and creation of needs to be able to profit by increasing production of goods.
One of the reasons capitalism seems "inhumane" for socially adept people due to difference in communication. While those who prefer technological advancements, and less contacts with people and contracts/laws etc prefer a more capitalist system naturally.
Introvert vs extrovert systems basically.
It's extremes have lead to uprisings&protests.
Difference between having no money, but stalls of food in front of you.
Or tons of "money" but, no food infront of you

Mr. K isn't neither Polish President or Polish Prime Minister. I would be surprised if Polish Special Forces or Polish intelligence Services are tied to Mr. K as their trumph card is being as profesional as possible to keep their positions and earnings.
So being tied directly to Mr. K is nearly impossible for them. Mateusz Morawiecki is a former businessman and comes off as shrewd, so he might have pulled it off. Don't think he would risk it tho, I wouldn't be surprised if he is one of the most pro-Germany PiS members due to business background. If Germany wants an entry into PiS party. Morawiecki is the man, his political standing would also reduce Ziobro and Kaczyński's influences.

She obtains the right to wear a white dress at the wedding, lying about it since a women was married before is not only out of taste, it's disrespectful and not a Christian attitude in any sense of the word.
Not a virgin? Then the women should wear a red dress (colour of lust among other things). It's very simple etiquette, and trying to change long established rules like that is very distasteful.
It's like eating soup while slurping and with a fork aswell. Just... why?

That Russian friend stood up for me, even if the leader was fully in his right to demand me getting kicked out of the radio from his team.
