News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [252]

I would also add that this was to be expected. I didn't talk about it much, but I believe I made my position clear on PF a long time ago. Supporting Ukraine in the war with Russia will inevitably lead to escalation and retaliation from Russia. It is so obvious and simple, and yet those in charge are focusing on trivial matters rather than doing their jobs. Extreme incompetence is equivalent to diversion, sabotage, and betrayal-they should be kicked out very soon.

An optimal course of action would be to take over Kaliningrad and dismantle the regime in Minsk using so-called little green men.

That would be the best option. Unfortunately, both the politicians and the organizations responsible, as well as the functions of Polish services that should be able to carry it out, are not up to par with what is needed. I believe keeping those incompetent dimwits in charge endangers the entire Republic, and it is simply unacceptable. Enough is enough.

It wasn't Socialism at all.

When people like you say it, they mean it if I were Stalin. Lenin or whoever, I would do a better job; I would make it work. No, you wouldn't, because that ideology goes against human nature. Marx was a useless parasite who never worked a day in his life nor did anything productive, he was writing sh;t and talking nonsense, how would he know anything useful living his whole life in the ivory tower.
It only means you are delusional and have a narcissistic streak in you.

posturing

Are you able to articulate what you want to say in simple terms? It seems to me you are a Ukrainian. Am I right?

The million-dollar question these days.

It's time for a spell of peace. Everyone needs to take a breather to get ready for round two. Seems Russia is still full of **** and vinegar and is not done, trying to push that war for longer. It works for everyone, China too, and Russia will need to take a long break after that war.

liberum veto

It was a part of the constitution, it had a perfect explanation and role, and was rational until it wasn't. Complaints about liberum veto are complaints about the constitution, ie, organization of the Rzeczpospolita. A talking point.
Not a bad omen. lol!

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1442]

Socialism doesn't have to be 'GDR' style.

Socialism, in any form, is a scourge on society and stifles growth. Whether in the long term or short term, socialism leads to disaster. Once its resources are depleted, it often resorts to totalitarianism. Whoever advocates for socialism is a misguided individual with delusions of grandeur.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 16 [1071]

It's a myth.

One only needs to think logically. Before the 19th century, emigration from the German states to the colonies and later to the United States was not significant. The cultural affiliation of the American elites was with Britain. The mass influx of German immigrants into the U.S. in the mid-19th century would not change the already established language and culture.

I have a more plausible explanation. Since you alienated almost everyone here, no one wants to talk to you. They are especially bored with your never-ending questions. You are not Socrates.

News / Trump and Nawrocki [23]

Here are some highlights from the Polish perspective:

Trump is bluffing.
He wants something for very little or nothing.
The only security for Poland can be achieved by Poland, by making Poland stronger with the support of some close allies. Expecting others to carry our security substantially is folly. Je suis bouleversée de la profondeur des Polish expectations, hopes and naivité.

How did Austria manage to stay safe

It is a hilly, small country in Europe nobody gives a F about. Away from major geopolitical strife.
All those domestic geniuses with their homespun philosophy tend to overlook the obvious, Poland's geopolitical place in the world./

11year old intruder shot dead by a brave defender

If it were a home invasion, he should have known better if that was a prank. It could be robbery masked as a prank, not a normal behavior for an 11-year-old.
Also, it is not Poland but Texas, the state where you expect such behavior to be punished with a bullet.

There will be a lot of fighting for scarce resources.

I doubt it. It is a British obsession, dating back to Malthus, who, in his time, estimated the population of the islands to be about four million people, whereas now it is approximately 60 million.

Hard to know why he did it.

Simply, it must be a relative of Count 'Buc' Komorowski.

You can find all kinds of Twitter. It's irrelevant; the point is that Ukrainian politicians are incompetent. They can't handle such an easy job as a relationship with Poland. Nawrocki has done something that should have been done from the start.

Wondering why not "Wesley."

Probably, he doesn't know such a name exists, or it sounds too close to 'weasel' for his comfort.
