Perhaps we can celebrate Ukrainian independence day without banderist shouts? Your provocation is obvious and pathetic, Jon.

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 🇺🇦✨

24.08

Wishing you strength, peace, and unity. May your spirit of freedom continue to shine brightly, and may your people always walk proudly in courage and hope.

May your hard times quickly come to an end, and may the wounds from the past between our nations be finally acknowledged and healed. Keep strong, Ukraine, and remember who gave you your name and who recognised your independence first.

From Poland with Love 🌻💙💛

Poland will overtake the NNs in about 2033

Unbelievable.

All these resources, all the oil and gas, all the natural riches...

If only things had gone differently in 1612, America and China would be our faithful vassals today.

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

I recommend trying Tygodnik Powszechny

I've been a faithful subscriber since highschool - good recommendation.

The best option is to read from left to right: TP, Przegląd, Do Rzeczy, Najwyższy Czas, Warszawska, Myśl Polska etc. Don't close yourself in any information bubble.

BFD!

Yeah, right.

I bet there is a Ferdydurke, Ziemia Obiecana, Quo Vadis, and all the other Polish classics bound in leather in your study.

You're not fooling anyone, Ryszardzie.

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

very low standards

This is not even funny anymore.

I never thought I would say that but the day when Europe and America will have to go their separate ways is fast approaching. For common decency's sake.

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

it was to see if a path to negotiating an end to the war was open

Let's stick to facts: Trump said there will be sanctions on Russia if no cease fire is agreed. There is no cease fire. There are no sanctions on Russia. Trump says it was a great meeting - 10 out of 10.

The path for Ukraine to capitulate and give up their lands and aim to join NATO is always open. All they have to do is surrender. But they don't need Trump for that.

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

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

'Pretending' being the key word here.

Ah, well, it looks like counting on the USA in 2025 is a bit like counting on France and Britain in 1939.

Hmm... no, I take it back. That's insulting for France and Britain - at least they declared war on Hitler, not spread out red carpet for him.

younger

Kaczyński is 76, Trump is 79.

That's the problem - Trump is too old. 10 years ago he was much smarter...

10 years ago

they don't care what Russians make out of those pictures of the US soldiers

They don't care about the image of America abroad (not only in Russia)? That's not very sensible.

To keep up appearances.

But you just said they don't care about appearances. You confuse me today, Iron.

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

They don't really care.

So why the meeting? Why the talks? Why the red carpet?

Trump achieved nothing in Alaska.

Cms is right - Ukraine can surrender on their own, they don't need Trump for that.

Trump became Putin's little helper.

Now Russians are making fun of American Army...

:)

he :)

... that's another thing that I don't get - couldn't Trump send some illegal Mexicans to roll out the red carpet for Putin? Did he really have to humiliate the US Army?

Transgender women ARE NOT women!!! They are just lying men

They're like skim milk, which is water that's lying about being milk. ;)

Why would any sane man read Miczkiewicz or Slowacki?

Because great poets they were and their poetry delights us.

Bo wielkimi poetami byli i ich poezja nas zachwyca.

Don't you read Gombrowicz either, Novi, you incorrigible troglodyte?

Work / Are Poles workaholics? [164]

Had Poland (...) been pumped with US dollars a la The Marshall Plan, perhaps she too might have rebounded with the drive or zeal of post-War Germany?

That's right!

It took us 35 years since 1989 to catch up with Japan in GDP per capita. Imagine where Poland would be today if we had started with proper economic system in 1945.

Work / Are Poles workaholics? [164]

The growth in Poland is due to the one factor that has both blessed and cursed it; geography.

Our geography didn't change in 1989. Economic and political system did.

a degree of jealousy

Jealousy?

35 years ago we were a grey, sad, post-communist sh*thole. Today we caught up with Japan in GDP per capita. I don't know if there is any other country in the world who achieved a comparable progress. It is others who should be jealous of us.

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

There's no way that's a good approach.

Definitely not a good approach: give tons of money to politicians and government clerks to hand out as they see fit. What could possibly go wrong? And the money is a debt on top of it. Have we really become as retarded as a society to accept this?

kurwa how it hurts

Woe to those who steal, for they shall stand before the judgment seat of God.

Do not regret that you have not stolen. Rather rejoice.
