News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]


Be realistic, Torqi....that's no rent for polish folks, that was the needed millions/billions to build up infrastructure and to bring the industry up to standard, even sweeten the deal for investors to build up new fabrics and such....

We had the same happening in East-Germany and we are still yet not done! And it all costs a fortune....with EU-support that is much better and easier done than without!

Wow....such a huge empire and still mainly only three dialects....in Germany it often sounds as if every village has their own language! :) Without some "high"-lingua there would be no Germany, more like a Tower of Babel....

Super interesting, thanks!

But in Germany it's abit different, I think....we all have our high-German that we learn (at the latest) in school and all national media use, so that's the version of German that connects all of us...if not....well...we have so many dialects alone in Germany understanding would be hard till in some cases impossible. And then there are the non Germany-versions of German....like austrian or swyzer-Dütsch...like another language, heh:)

So I would see Ukrainian also as a dialect of Russian....there surely is some kind of high-Russian all can understand and agree on?

That seems to be quite normal behaviour for all Easterners.....the Poles feel that way about Germany....the East-Germans feel that way about West-Germany....and if I remember correctly alot of russian grief about the West sounds also quite similiar! ;)

PS: Is Ukrainian easy for a Russian? Is it only a kind of dialect or so?

Oh Torqi, when have you become such a pessimist cynic?

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]


Na ja....Poland (and Germany) still would prefer Ukraine to win, wouldn't we? Or at least not let come Putin so close to our borders....in that regard, we NEED to support Ukraine...bills can and will be presented afterwards!

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]

I come to doubt that Selensky is still the right man to lead Ukraine through this crisis....to treat a much needed, close ally that way would be more than just stupid, thats insane and absolutely self-destructive, even more so than his latest decision to leash his anti-corruption office!

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]


Frankly Gruni, told that way this sounds very suspicious and quite a bit unbelievable/unlogical! And if something sounds that unreasonable it often is just wrong.

Are you sure you have all infos about that?

Not in the GDR....in East-Germany he is still revered and adored....he was the one who said "Nyet" to the begging of East-Berlin to please, please, please send the tanks, to make the Alexanderplatz to another Tiananmen and end this silly revolution!

I guess it's the viewpoint....ones freedom is always another ones destruction.

The only kind of explanation I can think of would be that they told the troops of inhuman torture and folter should they become prisoners of the ukrainian army...making that murder to a kind of rescue/relief from a most cruel fate....or something...

Heh:) Na ja....slowly I would say its okay...the balance is square again....now I would like to see a plan, what do the Israelis plan with Gaza? They can't just leave it to Hamas again....

What happened with Trumps plan?

Hmmm....dangerous!

Many if not most leftists are anti-american by nature...now with Trump on the helm even more so.....they would not protest, and save lotsa money.

The rest of us, the majority, who loves the US and still wants to be an ally would be left out in the cold! An easy leftists win....

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]


Agreed!

With my growing up in the GDR I get goosebumps....and Germany has been on that dark path for a few years now....diffaming arguments as "hate and agitation" to ignore them, calling political adversaries "Nazis" to not having to speak with them....now calling to denunciate "hate speech", whatever that is...

But....the big but....if it is really meant politically to keep the adversaries small then its a big shot into the own foot. Those parties and people who really call for it are losing...losing steadily and losing big! That way gets them nowhere! So my guess is it won't age well...

On the other hand, if its really meant and used for/against example lying ads, children abuser or islamist terrorists....why not!

....I will keep my ears and eyes open!!! 🧐

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]


....thats the thing, I guess. We are seeing this DSA from the perspective of a social media....a talking platform, but the most what I read about it is about business, economy, something like faulty/lying ads and against pedophiles. I doubt they have some talking corner like PF even on the radar!

The big platforms like X or Meta or only mentioned with the same sentence as "...there are special laws"....not to mention that these are not seated in the EU!!!

Just lets see whats happens....before there is only guessing possible. And till now I can only one case remember....a german user insulted a german politician and this politician made use of his law to start a law case and then the police came and this whole got run in all german media and the police didn't came out looking good in this. The comparisens to a dictatorship where there and made freely....since then, nothing!

....besides this politicians party lost big in the last elections and this politician isn't a politician anymore....so....

I dunno Novi...".I hate Islam" or "I don't like Muslims" or "muslim Immigrants are the worst"...has gone through german fora in the thousands if not millions by now....I know of nobody getting punished for it (till yet...and that would really had made the news by now)....I guess that would be a fight against windmills for this DSA...not even "whistleblower" needed, heh:)

....not at last the current gov party, the CDU, plans even contacts with the Taliban to get the criminal Afghans out of the country....that wasn't possible till now....so the mood is definitely not pro muslim-coddling!

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]

....abit scary is the part of the "trusted whistleblower", after all someone has to search and find the culprits:


Now that is a recipe for a disaster if there ever was one....and could (will) get easily out of hand.

Todays expert whistleblower will be tomorrows bribed/paid/political adversary/economical rival informer!

I guess the only way to stop that is when the maker of this whole bruhaha get kicked out and these things end again in the garbage can!

But, to come back to your question, Anti....I doubt that PF fits any of these categories!

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]

...hmm....I'm no expert but as I read and understand it (in german) PF should get a warning first but it should anyhow neither fall into the target group nor is it big enough.

....aaaaah! Thanks for the explanation....:)

Life / A warning to Poland: Germany's catastrophic immigration policy: 80-90% criminal manhunts are ARABS / foreigner [83]


...not even 2015 many people thought of that as fundamental in any way (sadly) or Merkel would never had done what she did, and that was only 10 years back. We now have to somehow correct that big error!


A good reason to bow out for the night!

*waves* :)

Life / A warning to Poland: Germany's catastrophic immigration policy: 80-90% criminal manhunts are ARABS / foreigner [83]


Because they didn't!


Now thats interesting because I would have a totally different opinion....any Brit (but especially an older one), is and was educated with the glory of the Empire. Not some Empire but THE EMPIRE. And this Empire contains many muslim countries and cultures! I guess most of their muslims come from India and Pakistan.

Similiar to France and their past as an world spanning Empire...most of their muslims come from Algeria, Morocco and Nigeria....additionally to the rest of Africa.

Not to mention that there are also strong cultural differences between the north-afrian and asian muslims, Germany is on a totally different level, never having such a global past (most of our muslims still come from Turkey which still are far different to those from the Maghreb for example), we are not even in the same game actually!

Alone to put us all in the same Euro-drawer is just wrong and that won't give you ever a realistic answer....

Life / A warning to Poland: Germany's catastrophic immigration policy: 80-90% criminal manhunts are ARABS / foreigner [83]


Na ja....frankly.....it did sound more like a rhetorical question. One you don't want really an "answer" for, just a validation of your beliefs. Nothing one usually spends some time on to formulate arguments for. After all I doubt any of us posters here was ever in any position to decide or even asked for his opinion! Immigration, especially muslim immigration, became only in the recent years such a cultural problem.

Just tone it down abit and you might get more, real answers....

The same how Mexicans and other middle- and south-Americans are in the US? What a question Novi....I guess when islamic countries would be neighbours (or at least more easily reachable afoot or with small boats) you would get the most of them, not we!
