News / Poland in the European Union. Polexit? [559]

A link?

I have a survey from from 9/2018

According to an opinion poll whose results were published on Saturday, over 65 percent of all respondents in Poland oppose the idea of their country leaving the EU, with about 17 percent being of the opposite view. A further 17 percent had no opinion concerning the hypothetical Polexit.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [354]

Once the Kaczyński-Salvini alliance comes into effect a great right wing wave will sweep across Europe and destroy the Bolsheviks running the EU.

I doubt that very much!

Nationalists have a gread disadvantage. The moment they should work together and their own nation doesn't comes "first" they usually end all alliance. That's what makes them so weak in the end. That's why they will always lose. They might agree on immigration, but they disagree on all the rest.

See Polands closest ally Hungary for example, Orban has nothing against a much warmer relationship with Putin's Russia and his alliance with Kaczynski didn't stop him to vote for Tusk in Brussels.

Salvini is also alot more interested in Moscow than Warsaw (he was one of the few joining Putin in Moscow at the finals) and you won't seriously think that he will vote for pouring any more EU funds into Poland, he will will demand more for himself instead.

Matteo Salvini praises Putin ahead of Russia trip

Nationalists make for pathetic alliances! They will change nothing.

The difference is negligible in my opinion.

Well, that difference might be negligible in your opinion but it's big enough to make your demand....

Anyway I would like Germany to restrain itself and its politicians

...impossible to fullfil.

There is no all powerful ruler in Berlin who has the right to decide for everybody what to do and what not. As long as these politicians don't speak officially for the german gov they are free to go where they want and to support whom they want and to meet with whom they want, even if that directly contradicts the official german gov policy.

IF that is not meddling into internal Polish affairs what is?

Agreed....that is meddling. I wouldn't like it either if Poles would start coming over supporting a party I don't like.

There is a certain kind of insensitivity sometimes on the german side, mostly lefties...the same when some left/greens join a polish demonstration /or the protest against it, whatever. I don't think that is their place to be.

But be assured that this is not the country of Germany meddling in the country of Poland, that is solely between like minded politicians. In an even more integrating Europe for some more and easily acceptable than for others. After all, in Brussels these politicians share the same party alliance, so they want to support each other.

How do you think? If you don't even know that what do you know that makes you asking those dumb, loaded and patronizing questions? eh?

Yeah...I would like to know...I know nothing about Adamowicz' connections to Germany. How did he "invite Germans to meddle in polish affairs", please tell me more!

You have to know something, don't you. You would'nt just throw such dumb and loaded accusations blindly into the room, wouldn't you.

What a procession!

Carrying flags and candles in cold streets, thousands of Poles walked on Friday beside the coffin of Gdansk's former mayor Pawel Adamowicz who was stabbed on stage at a charity event.

Ever heard of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact? It's what we have today except it is now the Merkel-Putin pact.

Yeah....well....and in this world, your world, Adamowicz was a traitor to the polish people and had to be killed for the good cause.

God have mercy with you!

I'm bowing out here...

"They think other nations should be subordinated to them. We say no! That country is Russia," Kaczynski shouted to the applauding crowd.

Just supplant "Russia" with "Germany".

Kaczynski loves his Poles perpetually at war best...

There is a deep resentment among ordinary people towards the Bolshevik elite who are forcing globalism/multiculturalism on them.

What exactly do you mean by that? Poles are all over Europe by now...

And it's interesting...many people in Germany say the deep divisions inside the population and the rougher language and loss of good behaviour in politics is a consequence of the mass immigration and its failures, especially rising after 2015.

But Poland doesn't have said immigration problems. But nonetheless it too seems to have become a country with a deeply split population which fights each other with ever more mercilessness and ever less will to compromise.

The same happened in Britain, in the US, in France...but it aren't the illegals, so it must be something else.

I know that, but I would like to know how extremists justify the murder of a politician who was that popular that he was re-elected for a sixth term!

I'm really curious...I've known Iron for years.

It is worth noting though, that despite the aforementioned smear campaigns, the citizens of Gdańsk have voted him president for over 20 years,

Yes, an enormous achievement. He must have been a great mayor!

And Torq is totally right....you only have to smear someone for long enough and some nutter will take it as an order...

hmm aren't a large chunk of those citizens employees of the city and their family?

Over 50% of the Danziger voted for him during the first round last November...he must have a huge family!

He is dead, what else do you want now?

RIP Pawel Adamowicz

(I hope me saying the appropriate and polite isn't seen by certain nutters as proof that he was deep in Merkel's pockets and an agent of the fourth Reich to enslave the free polish people, if so I still don't take it back...)

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

Some Marshall Plan of 21 century?

Some problems can't be solved with money...the EU had to learn that the hard way (Greece).

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

but getting the entire Western Balkans into the EU has to be considered the "end game" for the EU

...they have the potential to destabilize the whole EU. Not every country needs to be an EU member!

I still think the 2004 expansion was stupid and misguided. Estonia and Slovenia were ready, possibly Malta too. The rest? No.

One thing is for sure, the differences were widely underestimated...and that's why I think we shouldn't make that mistake again with the Balkan countries. We have time!

This info appeared in Russian media as plausible.

Why is that plausible? That man Kononenko could also say the moon is made up of joghurt...would that be plausible too? Who is that guy?

I will wait for the german press to pick that up...till now there is nothing...so...

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

Not Merkel said that!

...the first deputy head of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction, Igor Kononenko, said....

And frankly...it's quite unbelievable!

Alone the accession protocol takes longer...even for stable new prospects. For difficult ones like Ukraine it could take decades (aka Serbia, Turkey)....

That's more realistic:

In July, it was reported that the Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko said that the goal of Ukraine is to join the EU by 2025. At the same time a month before that, he called another date - the year 2030.

What do the Russians have to do "to join the rest of the human race"?

Yeah...when the Russians are not part of the "human race", then where stand we Germans...we were much worse!

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

It depends on the next 10-20 years, I think....

In the wake of Trump Europe needs to come to grips what it wants to be, where it wants to go...

Back to a more loosely connected trading bloc or the beginning of a "United States of Europe"...with a common government electable in all member states, common laws and rules, a common army, a common foreign policy etc.

Becoming a member of the first should be imaginable once you go through the accession protocol...the second is to far in the future to see.

Off-Topic / Russophiles can no longer defend their beloved Russians. [84]

Could it be because the Russian life span is about 59 for men and its population is shrinking?

Yeah...that is abysmal...can it really be all the Wodka everybody blames?

The West loves democracy and self-determination until it benefits Russia. Is that it?

Na ja, it isn't as if Putin gives a sh'it about it either...after all his support for the secessionists with money, public and weapons he is not really the victim here.

Imagine other countries could get the idea that a border change would be the thing to strive for..

Off-Topic / Russophiles can no longer defend their beloved Russians. [84]

Not killing journos and poisoning critics, not supporting secessionists and helping himself to some extra territories would be a good start...letting gays alone would be a nice touch too.

But migrants don't feature in that list...that's one topic they have already checked (better than Germany I would add):

Russia maintains one of the world's most liberal immigration policies; anyone who works in Russia for five years and develops fluency in the Russian language can become a citizen....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Russia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_Russia

...The large non-Slavic immigrant populations arriving in response to Putin's liberal policy have sometimes been met with xenophobia; to counter this, the Russian state has shut down various anti-immigrant group.

Tha manly man Putin is quite pro-immigration...who would have thought, huh?

PS: Crowie better hurry with his slavic empire thingy...
