News / Parliament in Poland clears way for nuclear plant [78]

Eventually Poland will have a nuclear reactor so why not sooner then later.
Once the Pollocks see how much cheaper electricity (to heat their homes) will be and how their air quality becomes breathable for humans in Poland they will wonder why they were so stubborn about catching up with the rest of the world.

Not to mention all the high paying jobs to build and maintain it.

News / Parliament in Poland clears way for nuclear plant [78]

That is why whatever location they will propose for the nuclear plant, the local and national resistance will be huge.

Seriously, what can the public resistance do to stop the government from building one ?
First they take an area and heavily secure it so no one can even get close to the facility.
They build it by putting thousands of people to work nullifying half the resistance with good paying jobs.
Then once it's up and running it's to late to shut it down.
That's how they do it in America.

News / Parliament in Poland clears way for nuclear plant [78]

But this is what Poland must do,

Poland is being forced to clean up their act by their neighbors with court action.
The European Commission joined Czechia in the suit at the Court of Justice of the European Union against Poland in the case concerning power group PGE's Turow mine.

The operator of the mine, claimed that its closure could lead to the collapse of the national power system.
The Court ordered Poland to immediately stop lignite mining in the Turów mine last Friday.
"We have never received any clear written guarantees from Poland on how to compensate for the fundamental negative effects this has on Czech citizens."
The Czech government does not want to harm Poland, but defends the interests of Czech citizens.
According to Czechia, the mining endangers the water quality in its border regions.
Germany is making the same claims against Poland.
And that doesn't even include Poland's coal burning pollution.
Time for Poland to take some responsibility for the health of both Poland's citizens and their neighbors and get that damn nuclear power plant up and running.

This is 2021 not 1949.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

In my estimate, yes they would have been able to do that alone.

The nearly 1,000,000 German troops Hitler was forced to keep in the west would have made a big difference if they had been deployed to the Eastern Front.

Berlin knew the Allies would soon land in Continental Europe, and had assembled 850,000 men and over fifteen hundred panzers to face them.
That made a huge difference I would think.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

77 years ago Stalin was pushing against Germany's conquered territory in Poland and the Baltic states.
The Soviets looked unstoppable.
Would Stalin have been able to finish Hitler without D-Day and an allied advance from the west.
Perhaps with many more civilian deaths and Poland would have been speaking Russian or German.
What is certain is that D-Day and the liberation of western Europe that followed made Hitler's destruction a certainty.
Any hope that Germany might be able to direct its entire war machine towards the Red Army came to an end once the western allies were pounding up the beaches of Normandy on 6 June 1944 with "Operation Overload."

Casualties that day were:
2500 Americans dead
3000 Americans wounded
2000 Americans missing in action
2700 British dead
1000 Canadians dead
Some estimates are much higher.

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

The police can detain you to do an investigation even if you are not under arrest,

I just found that statute today.
It is called "investigatory detention".
"If I am not presently under arrest or under investigatory detention, please allow me to leave" is the correct answer.
I wouldn't assume it works that way in Belarus.

Life / Boże Ciało (Corpus Christi) - a beautiful celebration in Catholic Poland [22]

I do feel sad that with falling believers numbers those things will disappear too.

Don't feel sad Lenka, it is just prophesy being fulfilled.
The Bible tells us in the last days that this will happen.

for the first time there wasn't any decorations on my street.

It all started when they took Jesus out of our schools and it has only gotten worse.
A little ten year old girl was just expelled from school because she wore a "Jesus loves me" shirt.

It's true....our foreign minister Idiot!

There is a tight rope there with Northstream 2 plus it's always better to research the consequences before you commit yourself.
I see France opted out to help Ukraine protect themselves too.
Now Belarus has entered the arena.
So just who is NATO.

Do you have a link?

That set a new threshold that made Crimea a walk in the park on a sunny day. Love it!

Yeah....the whole PF got that...you are repeating it several times a day now...in several threads...

He is a immigrant traitor scum to the U.S.A. who ran away from ever serving or fighting in a war for any country that he has ever been a citizen of.

He just enjoys his welfare freedoms that others have sacrificed the ultimate for.
What do you expect to hear from such a scum loud mouth troll besides his arm chair authority opinions. Pffffft

Germany today rejected calls for arms deliveries to Kyiv, after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asked Berlin for assault rifles, radio equipment and armored vehicles.

I wonder if Russia would reject the same requests from Belarus if they called for the same support against the West.

and asked if I am under arrest or free to go. I was not under arrest and I was free to go. So simple.

Not so simple at all in some cases.
You keep repeating this lie and I thought I had you straightened out on it six times ago.
The police can detain you to do an investigation even if you are not under arrest, so No, you are not free to go until they are done with their investigation.

NOW can we get back On-Topic ........AGAIN !

I can only see two solutions with Belarus.
Get together an international coalition, knock Belarus's army out, topple the dictatorship, and put Lukashenko behind bars.
At the other end, (which will most likely happen) is to do as little as you can get away with by summoning the Belarusian ambassador for a shake down, support a condemning U.N. resolution and issue a strong worded media release.

Sanctions don't work and only hurt the wrong people.

History / remember, forget, forgive, blame ... Holocaust Memorial Day in Poland [231]

No one is denying that Poles made huge sacrifices,

As did the Americans.
Poland's Memorial Day should remember America's Memorial Day also for what we did for Poland.

Btw it has been confirmed by ProtonMail that the alleged bomb threat was sent AFTER the plane had already been diverted to Minsk.

Ad to that the pilots repeatedly ask where the mysterious audio was coming from declaring the bomb threat without getting a reply.
Ad to that: Lithuania is working to confirm the identities of the passengers who disembarked from a diverted Ryanair plane after it was forced to land in Belarus, the chief of Lithuania's criminal police said on Friday.

Russian KBG agents are the primary suspects for some obvious reason.
(side note:) U.S. was hit with a wave of Russian hackers last night.
If it can happen to the U.S. you know it is happening in all of the E.U.

The same with planes

Who told you that. lol
Planes have a completely different sets of laws in airspace.
Has it been found out who the 'Joker was that lied' about the bomb being aboard ?

BTW: Did you heard exchange between Ryanair pilots and air control?

I did........the pilots repeatedly ask who initiated the bomb threat.
They never did get a credible answer in the heat of he moment.
Do we know yet who started that hoax to get the plane grounded ?
Maybe the guy was a 'Joker'.

Meanwhile to get Back On-Topic
A Belarusian passenger plane flying from Minsk to Barcelona turned back on Wednesday after Poland said it may not be able to enter French airspace.

Poland currently allows Belavia flights to enter its airspace.
Air France canceled a Paris-Moscow flight on Wednesday after Russia failed to approve a new route bypassing Belarus, the airline said.

Lukashenko said in televised comments on Wednesday that he believed there would be no repeat of the mass protests that erupted last summer.

The European Union on Monday called on all E.U.- based airlines to stop flying over Belarus and began the process of banning Belarusian airlines from flying over the bloc's airspace or landing in its airports - effectively severing the country's air connections to Western Europe.

Looks like the gospel is being spread across Europe. Hoot !

Putin offered political and financial support to Mr. Lukashenko amid Western sanctions and warned EU leaders against interfering in a political crisis that engulfed Belarus last year amid protests against its leader.

We all know who was responsible for this hijacking.....well except for our two Russian trolls here that are trying to play dumb.

Do you have any evidence that false bomb threat was made by anyone working for state of Belarus?

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko scrambled the fighter, which forced the Ryanair commercial aircraft to land.
Plus there were Belarus secret service aboard.
Do you need more evidence then that or do you know something I don't.

Clear case of State sponsored air piracy.
"It was intercepted, there was effectively warning given to the pilots and crew that there was a security risk on board, and then the plane was escorted by military jet to the Minsk airport, which was not the closest airport," Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney told Ireland's RTE radio on Monday.

Some airlines are already refusing to fly in Belarus airspace now.
If it is determined sanctions are necessary to hold the rulers of Belarus accountable for this outrage it may just collapse the already fragile economy of Belarus.

Putin's puppets should be jailed for downing the jet because of "said security risk".
Could not have such a security risk be detained at the airport the plane was destined for ........ well unless someone claimed the security risk was a bomb that is.

Our cherry trees are doing well.

To early to really tell yet for sure.
Bees play a huge part and they like it to be at least 50 degrees (10 Celsius) to do their part in helping pollinate.
Here is a good article about it from the area where I live.
