News / Trump and Nawrocki [23]


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.

It is all in context. Polish cities are only clean in comparison to the dirty dumpsters of most Western cities.

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./

In short, with their countries. Which is only natural.

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.

History / Future of Kaliningrad Oblast - is it possible to annex by Poland or will it become an independent country? [146]

Russians are building something in Kaliningrad. I suspect it has something to do with their idea of disturbing GPs' signals (just for starters) in this part of the world. Asking for a bomb.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


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.

Not necessarily, it should belong to Poland for strategic reasons alone.


Lithuania does not have any claims to anything.

News / War propaganda - are we really THAT retarded? [28]


The Western audience needs to be fed such lies because their support for the war would diminish. I simply dislike that the Polish media parrot these falsehoods. Poles do not need artificial support to remain steadfast in their backing for Ukraine.

Only unreasonable actions by the Polish government undermine that support because Poles get the impression they are being taken advantage of. As a result, they naturally blame Ukrainians, when in fact much of the fault lies with our glorious politicians-as usual.

Most people believe there is some objective journalism. Rather than fight that ingrained bias, I roll with it. If you know what I mean.

News / War propaganda - are we really THAT retarded? [28]


There is something called a political commentator. As for your traditional journalist trade, there have not been many since the 1960s. Keep up with reality: we have party or ideological hacks and conservative journalists, but no more independent objective journalism.

Dude, we are great, everybody is jealous of us, we are living in the greatest country in the world, outside America, they are living in mud huts.

Depends on who we are talking about? Average people or ruling elites in the government..
For elites, what Russians make of those pictures of soldiers is just a trivial and unimpressive detail that doesn't influence the image of the US.

Meeting with Putin is the US pretending to deal cards as the world's dominant power.

Off-Topic / The agreement in Alaska between the US and Russia. [43]


It was obvious that Russia would use anything to boost its morale and address its feelings of inferiority. Well, we know Russia, and we wouldn't give them even such lowborn satisfaction. However, Americans do not see it this way. They don't really care. In fact, it's a case of being so great that we are elevated above the rest, while their attitude is probably lost on most Russians.

Off-Topic / The agreement in Alaska between the US and Russia. [43]

Trump became Putin's little helper.
I understand that he lacks political experience and probably never considered politics before being elected president. He should have listened to the experienced people around him; it's frustrating to see him making a fool of himself.

On the other hand, at least he is candid about the impotence and shamelessness of the US. I believe that playing a bluff would be more strategic, as it is in the interest of the US to maintain that facade for as long as possible. Still, honesty in politics is a rare quality.

Of course it was!
Right, I know that. I don't like it because it is not in the interest of Poland. So, that needs to change. Simple.

We have a politically stagnant class and a narrow-minded business sector. Society is influenced and misled by EU propaganda.

This situation needs to change. First, we must reorganize society, then remove the obstacles and the incompetent politicians. After that, we should establish a system that promotes competence and diligence at all levels.

News / Poland National Recovery Plan - KPO funding [40]


All of this strongly illustrates a truth that many are reluctant to admit: the EU may be designed to corrupt people rather than to benefit them. Poland could thrive without it.

Setting aside all previous funding, the KPO is a dubious idea. What rational politician would support it? These funds are essentially borrowed money; only a select few benefit while the country ultimately has to repay the debt. There's no way that's a good approach.

History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]

So all those gentlemen taking umbrage to the UK being called for treacherous treatment of its ally, Poland, or Poland being sold down the river (here enters glorious America and butt hurt Yankees), hold your horses. There was a promise; wouldn't it be a fact that those gentlemen go back on their word? If that is the case, shouldn't the honorable gentlemen at least pretend to be men and accept it with grace?

History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]


It's all fine and dandy, except for one detail. The U.S. is supposed to represent a Christian civilization, essentially a good and moral country that stands up for its principles.

If the U.S. entered the war in 1941 primarily to fight against evil, portraying American GIs as good soldiers, then America brings prosperity and freedom, while the Soviets represent the opposite, being labeled as an axis of evil.

You have to ask yourself whether that is the truth or if there is some truth in it. My point is that if your propaganda is broadcast 24/7, you can't blame some people for believing it. If that is the case, then a moral judgment when the U.S. projects its propagandistic vision isn't that surprising, is it?
After all, there was much more than propaganda; it was a promise, made voluntarily:
The Atlantic Charter was a statement issued on 14 August 1941 that set out American and British goals for the world after the end of World War II, months before the US officially entered the war. The joint statement, later dubbed the Atlantic Charter, outlined the aims of the United States and the United Kingdom for the postwar world as follows: no territorial aggrandizement, no territorial changes made against the wishes of the people (self-determination), restoration of self-government to those deprived of it
