History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]
The British did not stay for nearly fifty years like The Russians did.
And the allies in the west didn't invade?

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]
French arrogance.It was a half hearted invasion which they never backed up with the force they intended.
It cost The French and The Poles dear.
The agreement was not specific.
It contained promises of mutual military assistance between the nations and for Britain and Poland to "consult together on measures to be taken in common".
Don't forget that Britain declared war on Germany and lost many civilian as well as military lives as a result.
What would you count as "ready"? They invaded the Saar territory!

Did the treaty say " we will help you only if we judge that we are ready"?

The French were never ready, which is why The Germans conquered them so easily.
As for The Maginot line, been there, seen it, Verdun especially, what a waste of time!
The British were ready by the summer of 1940 when they started bombing Germany.

The Anglo-French were not ready as you well know.
The French knew they were in a war when German tanks rolled over their border and The British knew they were in a war when the bombs started dropping.
I can still remember, as a kid, being driven through parts of London that were full of bombed out houses.

Food / What Polish foods do foreigners generally not take to? [139]
And Brawn in England :-)
I too like many of these offal based dishes,Polish Salceson and Galareta and French Andouille too.
My Mum used to make Galareta from a whole pigs head, seasoned with salt, pepper and vinegar and served with some good quality bread it was a meal on it's own.
Not only in America, it is called fromage de tête in France

They should never have been loans.

Strangely enough, the one place I was warned most not to drink tap water (by Poles) was Warsaw.
Yet I found the tap water there OK.

You obviously have no understanding of this at all.
There is no UK team and never will be.
There is no "collective moral responsibility"..... are you nuts?
Orbis Business Intelligence were paid to do a job on a subject that they were experts on.
Private company, good business, maybe immoral..... but you can't blame The Brits for that one.
Case closed.
Next?
It is by the same logic why the UK soccer team beat France. Collective credit walks hand in hand with collective moral responsibility

Life / Poland vs Hungary for an expat? [41]
Absolutely, but it reminds me of the old Communist days joke of the Polish and Hungarian dogs meeting half way between their countries.
The Polish dog asked why The Hungarian dog was going to Poland.
"To Eat" was his reply.
So then the Hungarian dog asked the Polish dog why he was going to Hungary.
He replied.
"To bark".
Hungary fared far better under their brand of "gulyas-communism" than most of Europe

If you are talking about Christopher Steele and Orbis Business Intelligence, this is a private, money making intelligence agency that happens to be British.
Nothing to do with MI6(Although he was an MI6 officer, he retired 10 years ago) and nothing to do with the British Government.
That is not the same thing as saying.

History / Do Polish people in general dislike Russia or Germany more? [369]
Pure speculation.
Just as with Russia, nothing can be proved.
But why are you defending such a failure of a country as Russia?
Outside of Moscow, St.Petersburg and a handful of tiny enclaves it is virtually a third world country on the edge of Europe.
Many parts of Russia are no better off than Belarus.
I have an engineer friend who spent most of his working life on projects in Africa.
He got a 3 month contract for a job in Minsk,Belarus.
On his return,he was shocked...he told me it was like "a white africa in europe".
Russia is not much better.
Your support of Russia is as hypocritical as Jeremy Corbyn's support for Venezuela.

That is a sweeping statement.

Back to RT, you see, I can listen to or watch The BBC in full knowledge of their bias and decode the real news.
Just as you can with The American news outlets.

They are much more sophisticated than the old days of Radio Moscow, where farm quotas and tractor production levels would send you to sleep......and even those were lies.
