I think its only a matter of time til the bubble bursts. A false economy being propped up by EU funding.

EU-funds are not automatically used wisely, we learned that the hard way...
When they are used to prop up the consumerism (buying stuff, welfare etc.) instead to invest in infrastructure, industrialization, building of an economony it ends bad (Greece).

But do you really think that is what happens in Poland? And what would Kaczinsky do differently?

Try living here and see for yourself.

Compare Poland with other european countries....not stable, no growing economy, begging for help, broke, ridiculed leaders!
I'm fairly sure they would be happy to have a Tusk instead of their own chaos.

The title of this thread " achievements ", of which no one can elaborate, other than the govs propaganda reports.

The economy is rolling...is it not?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Poland

The Economy of Poland is a high income economy[6] and is the sixth largest in the EU and one of the fastest growing economies in Central Europe, with a yearly growth rate of over 3.0% before the late-2000s recession.[7]
It is the only member country of the European Union to have avoided a decline in GDP, meaning that in 2009 Poland has created the most GDP growth in the EU.[8] As of December 2009 the Polish economy had not entered recession nor contracted. According to the Central Statistical Office of Poland,
In 2010 the Polish economic growth rate was 3.8 %, which was one of the best results in Europe.

Propaganda only???

That in itself is a huuuuge achievement in the current crisis...and everything else stems from that. If the economy sucks you can forget about everything else.

Well why doesn't Tusk build a missle shield. He's a jerk off thats why.

Why? Who is threatening Poland with missiles???

It seems your gripes with Tusk is military spending only....he on the other hand seems more concerned with the economy. We here in Germany would vote for him as Chancellor anytime...believe me.

We have the same priorities!

Germany has nukes

Nope, we haven't....

Euro rules of non nuclear building.

The WHAT??? Didn't Poland just decide to build a new nuclear plant???

why doesn't Poland have right to defend herself

If you need nukes for that then there isn't a Poland anymore to defend..

waddle over to Merkel and kick her really hard in the shin.

There is steel under her trousers....beware! :)

Tusk is a failure for Poland . He's too nice to Russia and the EU.

Yeah...antagonizing the big neighbours worked so well in Polands past....he definitely should try that again!
Isolating Poland from Europe will bring so many advantages...

But when push came to shove and clever Germanic nationalists came along to unite the Germanics with the notion of "us" (Germanics) against "them" (non-Germanics), the Germanic tribes started to unite.

Well...I wouldn't call it like that.

The French under Napoleon trampling across german lands, occupying it, helped by the many fractioned and disunited german kings and princes, did do alot to drive the point home in the minds of many Germans that there is only one way to avoid such things in the future...

I agree ethno-centrism of European groups back then was not as bad as the years leading up to WWI and WWII, but it was still there.

I disagree.

Till the unification of Germany under Bismarck it was usual that the different german counties and duchies would see themselves on different sides of warring parties...despite common language, culture etc.

Political reasons only...Europe was much more fragmented till the upcoming of the nation states and every ruler had different ideas and their subjects had to follow. That was not only true for the Germans.

It's not always a numbers game either...it's more about smart alliances (or the lack of).

Half of Serbian regions were (as it was case with most of Hungary) under the Turkish occupation for 180 years and other half was under the occupation maximally for 350 years.

So true...
If you had really cared you would had kicked them out long before, the great warrior people that you are!

Germans bought the Bolshevik revolution to Russia & Lenin who made about 28 million Russians die in the Russian Civil war + the Volga Famine by the half Volga German Lenin.

Really powerfull these apeworms...one half German achieves to destroy Russia...WHOA!!!!
No wonder Poland didn't stood a chance...some Über Worms!

The wooden pole is a depiction of God's penis.

Yes they are, they developed a business relationship over partitioning Poland but otherwise every time they shared borders in one form or another it led to war.

We had good times too...

Then should Nato Bomb Germans & Say that Berlin is a Turkish country because it is majority Turkish?

The majority is so not turkish...and when Nato bombs who should pay them their welfare???

Even alot of Border Silesia Towns in Czech like Ostrava much of Ostrava considers themselves to be Polish & Not Czech!

A poll? A survey? A link? Anything???

What about the sabre (szabla/szablya)?

Wiki :)

The sabre first appeared in Western Europe with the arrival of the Hungarians (Magyarok) in the 10th century. The original type of Polish sabre was the Karabela. The name was derived from the Turkish words Kara, meaning dark, and bela, meaning curse. The Karabela was worn by the Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian nobility class, the Szlachta.

Its a bother really

Well...your decision, but I think there is no better and easier way to tell your facts...people are not that inclined to plunge into polish-language thick dry books when they can have a look at the wiki article for their question much easier. You would reach millions world wide easily.

It's a worthy fight I think...

once BB laughed at me

...it was more likely a friendly smile.... :)

The point is that of communism, Poland being in the "wrong" team got the cold shoulder in history books for decades.

You definitely should start to attack such wiki articles....there is no better way to spread your facts.
Alot less people will look into your polish wiki so you better take it up with the english main wiki.

It really pays off!

Because modern historiography begins in XIX century, and Poland did not existed as an independent entity in XIX century.

Nun ja...alot of countries are only quite recent developments, not only Poland. Even then the naming in the language of the invention commonly got adopted by the followers.

for example Prussians melted most of Poland Crown Jewels.

But it still was called "Poland crown jewels" ? ;)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppels%C3%B6ldner

Doppelsöldner (Double mercenary) were Landsknechts in 16th-century Germany who were prepared to fight in the front line, taking an extra risk, in exchange for double payment. The stated ratio was that one Landsknecht in four would be a Doppelsöldner. A small number of the Doppelsöldner of each company were usually issued with firearms.

Nothing polish :(

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halberd

The halberd was the primary weapon of the early Swiss armies in the 14th and early 15th centuries.[3] Later on, the Swiss added the pike to better repel knightly attacks and roll over enemy infantry formations, with the halberd, hand-and-a-half sword, or the dagger known as the Schweizerdolch being used for closer combat.

Nothing Polish either :(

Exactly, being kind of Poland and having his illegitimate son with him in Poland for a time being. Son who showed aptitude for military carrier.

At the age of twelve, Maurice served in the army of Prince Eugene of Savoy, at the sieges of Tournai and Mons and at the Battle of Malplaquet.

What and from whom did he learn till the age of 12? ;)

Well, I don't know BB, you tell me, Poland is using division organization for x years, then a guy Maurice, who spend a few years in Poland,as a youngster interested in all things military, then he starts his carrier in France, become Marshal, and then write a book where he introduce a divisions system.

When it is really all polish why are there no common polish names for the inventions. Normally the naming says alot about the origin.
Why are the polish inventors nowhere mentioned?

Since military history is my forte i'd like to post pictures from 1480-1600 when Poland was setting military standards for entire Europe.

Links for reading would be the most helpful! :)
