News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Ukraine? [44]

It is also possible that Mentzen will split from Konfederacja with his liberal faction and join the PiS-PSL coalition.

One way or another, it's going to be interesting and perhaps not the worst scenario for Poland either.

Still can't believe how much Tusk managed to f*ck up pretty much everything in such a short period of time.

They usually make things much worse.

Is there really much worse than shooting your own wounded soldiers? Much worse than waging a brotherly war for 3 years already and without end in sight? Much worse than becoming a de facto Chinese vassal, dependent on Iran and North Korea for war materials supplies?

Come on, Bobi. Russia is better than that. The best (and the first!) thing to do when you want to get out of a deep hole is to stop digging. Sorry for stating the obvious.

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Ukraine? [44]

it's 10M less indeed

Ukrainian population in 2022, right before the Russian invasion, was 41.5 million. Today optimists say 32 million, realists say 24.

Where did the Ukrainians go? Are the population numbers fake?

No. Ukrainians are simply not added to the Polish population statistics. They are considered war refugees who will go back to their country after the war is over (lol!).
The population of Gdańsk in 2022 was 486,000...

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludno%C5%9B%C4%87_Gda%C5%84ska

... well over 100,000 Ukrainians live in Gdańsk, some sources even estimate that every fourth inhabitant of our city is Ukrainian. What is the official population of Gdańsk these days? Wait for it... 488,000. :D Lies, great lies, statistics.

Tusk is trolling the opposition.

Tusk is history. In two years Kaczynski will come back (with Mentzen and Bosak as his sidekicks). It's going to be fun.

due to their higher population

Poland's population, counting Ukrainians who are here to stay, is about 40 million. Ukraine's is about 24 million, and if they think those who have been living abroad for the past three years will come back after the war is over, they have to think again.

Study / A medical school called UPS in Poland? [7]

Uniwersytet Pomorski w Słupsku

Not 25 years ago. They got the university status (and the name) only two years ago. Before that it was AP (Akademia Pomorska) and even earlier a WSP (Wyższa Szkoła Pedagogiczna). They never had a proper medicine faculty there, only some related studies (nursing, physiotherapy, ratownictwo medyczne etc.).

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Ukraine? [44]

As a thought experiment and a continuation of sorts of the strategic alliance with Russia thread, I propose a discussion of another option (as in the thread's title).

Of course, Poland is already supporting the Ukrainian war effort and has been doing so from the very beginning of the Russian invasion (not only with weapons but also with economic and humanitarian aid) but should our two Slavic countries strengthen the ties and formalise an even closer alliance?

Possible arguments for:

- the fall of Ukraine means that Poland will become the next "bumper" of the West to stop the invading Russians;
- the fall of Ukraine, coupled with American withdrawal from Europe, will create a very difficult geostrategic position
for Poland;
- a strong bilateral alliance could serve as the economic spine of the Three Seas (Międzymorze) Initiative, making
the entire Central Europe more self-reliant and globally competitive.

Possible arguments against:

- Ukrainian government is staunchly pro-German and marginalising Poland in their plans (like future rebuilding of Ukraine);
- Ukraine glorifies and honours OUN-UPA and Waffen-SS formations that took part in genocide of Poles;
- Ukraine has a very strong nationalist current which could potentially make such an alliance fragile or even counterproductive
in the long term.

Anyways, look like there will be no strategic alliance or even any sort of normalisation of bilateral relations between Poland and Russia. My pan-Slavic heart bleeds but Russia is currently ruled by criminals who don't mind killing Slavic people.

The level of military production in Russia points clearly to the fact that they plan to continue the war not only against Ukraine but also against NATO. The putinist regime is preparing for a war against European NATO east flank, this much is certain. If patriotic forces in Russia don't raise and stop those madmen, we will have a war.

The most likely scenario is Chinese invasion of Taiwan coordinated with Russian invasion of NATO's eastern flank. We should hasten and intensify military preparations for the inevitable. Delay and indecision are a crime.

The post-war baby boom was a universal phenomenon

1970s and 1980s were hardly "post-war", and we still had very decent birthrates back then.

The current civilisation (or I should rather say kurvilisation) of childless parasites, egoism and consumerism will affect the size of Polish population more than all the partitions, uprisings and world wars put together (and it won't take over 200 years either).

And inbreeding? lol

Are you calling the generation of our parents and grandparents inbreds? That's rather low even by your standards. :(

And no, I don't have German roots.

Right. There's a long drive ahead of me tomorrow. Good night, clueless people.

Assisting AK was not on the list.

Neither was saving 200,000 civilians from being systematically slaughtered. Sure. We understand.

That's why I said it would be strange to accuse an enemy of betrayal.

action against the criminals attempting to cross our eastern border

What about letting in thousands being sent to Poland by Germany? Asymmetric warfare too?

In the east we are at least trying to stop them. In the west - how many did the Border Guard sent back to Germany?

abstract issue of a strategic alliance with Russia.

It may seem abstract at the moment but in the long run it is either that or a war. A proper, devastating war - one that would make the current fisticuffs in Ukraine look like kindergarten brawl.

that's so f*cking "amazing" according to you? o_O

Internal cohesion and ethnic uniformity are very valuable things for a country.

That it was a result of nazi genocide of Jews and Soviets shifting our borders? Surely you don't blame Poland for that?

@Bobko

Also, under the horrible Soviet domination 1945-89, Polish population almost doubled (from 23 to 40 million) and overwhelming majority were Poles.

Poland, even if politically dependent on the SU, was ethnically, linguistically and culturally almost 100% Polish.

What happened to our internal ethnic cohesion and birth rates after we "regained freedom", everyone can see.

how has Russia ever betrayed Poland?

Well, I wouldn't say "betrayed" - you were simply an enemy: partitions, uprisings, Polish-Soviet war, Ribbentrop-Molotov, 17.09.1939, Katyn, eating popcorn while watching the slaughter of Warsaw. Enemies. It would be strange to accuse an enemy of betrayal.

However, you saved us from nazi genocide, and when we were Warsaw Pact allies (even if not entirely out of our own accord), you behaved rather decently.

And, not to forget, when we finally decided to go our own way, you withdrew your troops without a single shot (which wasn't, I suppose, the only option back then).

... and you will play one more important role in Polish history, before our glorious revival.

Everything is manageable using constitutionally available methods.

Yes, we can see that. xD

because my company hired 10 ciapaty. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten the vacation.

Hate to break it to you, Alien, but if you are normally doing so much work that your company needs to hire 10 ciapatys when you go on vacation, then you are what in precise professional terms is called a murzyn.

There should be a rule to protect native cultures. Representatives of African, Muslim, Arab etc. cultures can emigrate only to other African, Muslim, Arab etc. cultures to preserve those valuable heritages.

We have to involve the UN in this. #saveworldcultures

when I was just a kid, I loved Russian bajki and movies...Not long ago, I watched Masha and the Bear with my granddaughters...

Nice. :)

We like Russian fairy tales, books, movies etc. because they touch the same strings in our souls. We are brothers, and all the quasi-nazi Korvinuses of this world can do nothing to change it.

hate the West

I don't hate the West. It had its moments. The medieval Christianitas was the peak of human civilisation. Unfortunately, it has degenerated terribly. Is it beyond repair? Hopefully not... but it will require divine intervention.

@Bobko

Poles being racist towards Russians takes some very special mental gymnastics.

It probably took some acrobatics too for Croats to consider themselves Germanic during WW2 or for Ukrainians to think it's a good idea to serve in Waffen-SS and commit genocide on Poles.

Why some people choose the path of mental retardation without techically being intellectually handicapped? One of the mysteries of the universe.

Because we had not been the primary target of the Holocaust?

I beg to differ. WW2 was one huge slaughter of Slavic people. Jews may have suffered the largest losses percentage-wise but it was Slavs who died in greatest numbers.

But why... does the FT not care about dehumanizing Russians?

And why is anti-Catholicism the last acceptable bigotry? The so-called West is not a cuddly, fluffy teddy bear; if you scratch the shiny surface there is a lot of sh*t underneath. Polar opposite to Slavia, where underneath the rough surface you find pure gold.

The baptism of Poland in 966 marks the beginning of Polish history (as a unified state) and Poles have every right to speak of their over a millenium long heritage in their lands.

You need a nuclear holocaust, or a plague

I leave it in the hands of God to choose the way the revival will happen.

Give every adult an AR-15, 1000 rounds, and legal immunity...Problem solved.

How would that solve the problem of low birthrates?

the ancient Burgundians who were the earliest known inhabitants of what is now Poland

What nonsense.

Archaeological sites like Kraków-Spadzista and Trzebnica show evidence of hunters-gatherers communities, and around 5500 BC agriculture arrived with the Linear Pottery culture from the Danube region.

Later we had Lusatian culture (c. 1300-500 BC): one of the most prominent prehistoric cultures in Poland, known for fortified settlements and urnfield burials; then Pomeranian culture, Przeworsk culture, and Oksywie culture followed in the Iron Age, often associated with early proto-Slavic, Celtic and Germanic influences.

Many centuries later there were some Germanic invaders here (Burgundians among them) but they moved further West and after their migrations, Slavic tribes began settling the region around the 6th century AD. Later, some of those Slavic tribes united under Mieszko, accepted baptism in the Western, Latin rite and created the first Polish state.

We have been here for over a 1000 years and that's what counts.

That some people would rather believe in UFOs, unpublished prophecies and Star-Trek-like future instead of God's providence is a sad sign of the confused times that we live in.

I, therefore, have a prophecy of my own for them:

Poland will be the focal point of the coming Great Christian Revival and the centre of reborn European Christianitas. White and red flags will be flying proudly between Bug and Odra and beyond for another 1000 years, long after ordinary people forget that United States, the EU or Russian Federation ever existed...

... and everything will once again be well in the universe (as a little bird told me).

In whose world do we live today - Rome's or Athens'?

Neither.

Historical analogies can be useful but they are rarely precise.

For me, a black and brown, half-Muslim Poland doesn't make sense and I couldn't give two f*cks about such country, whether it is ruled by a narrow elite of "Poles", Eskimos or Martians.

My Poland is Slavic, Sarmat and Christian. Anything else is an abomination, as important and relevant to me as Papua New Guinea.

That's why I believe God will send us the revival, and Poland will be the spark that rekindles the fire of Christianitas in Europe again.

Do you know how many things have been pronounced ex cathedra (i.e. invoking papal infallibility) in the Church's history?

Apart from ex cathedra declarations there is also ordinary and universal magisterium that defines dogma and teaches the faithful, and it says being a mason is a grave sin.
