History / Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [161]

The important point was seemingly

I understand the article and the point it makes. It discusses how the German state at the time sought to recruit as many soldiers as possible for its army. This effort extended even to Poles who had no prior connection to Germany. Nonetheless, there were already many Poles conscripted into the Wehrmacht, which is my point.

no german-Poles l

They were not German-Poles; they were children of former German citizens, very often born and raised in Poland, citizens of Poland, and patriots of Poland.

I never knew.....

BB, your problem is that you do not take me seriously. OK, I troll sometimes, but very often I provide factual information.

Poles were serving in the German army from the start; all those whose parents were German citizens before WWI were considered German citizens, and their children were conscripted to the Wehrmacht.
There is a story about Polish soldiers fighting in Africa as part of the British corps. One soldier, frustrated by the arrogant attitude of the British officers, said to his colonel, "Sir, look at those upstarts, so full of themselves! Not long ago, they were running like rabbits from us." After further investigation, the colonel learned that the 'we' the soldier referred to were the Deutsches Afrika Korps under Erwin Rommel.

A whole lot of things.

I'm aware that you are a prick; no need to demonstrate it so openly.
I'm asking about your skin color. Jon claims you came from Africa. Unless he refers to outdated evolution theory. In that case, it is a sad day for Jon, who can't keep up with the scientific world.

: Hitler considered

The truth of the matter is that Hitler was a talker; he talked and talked, and generally, he would annoy the hell out of me with his constant yapping, but Germans liked it, and they obeyed him.
Many aspects of what he discussed in theory appeared different in practice.

Off-Topic / Are Polish Christians here? [161]

There are fewer and fewer Catholics in Poland

There are fewer and fewer people. Aside from that, you are advised to keep out of our Middle Ages Teutonic BS, and heretics have tainted you. You should ask yourself Are you still a human being?

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Most Europeans don't share that opinion (or yours),

I always wonder why so many people are in the dark. Because, of course, I'm right and they are wrong.

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]

We have already discussed this. Russia does not have a credible offer for Poland. Additionally, given our support for Ukraine and the fact that Russia is waging an asymmetric war against us, they are likely to retaliate against Poland. There is no room for negotiations. Any one-sided diplomatic action would be detrimental to Poland's interests.

We should seek alliances with countries that face the same looming threat from Russia.

News / Poland to introduce border controls with Germany and Lithuania [101]

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has described them as "militias."

We have a person who, instead of doing his job and defending the border, is focused on demonizing and disparaging citizens who are fulfilling the role the state should undertake.

So what? It doesn't prove anything. You are not alone. About 14% of Poles hate Poland.

On your loyalty list.

Who cares about the loyalty list?. According to your logic, citizenship is just a piece of paper, and loyalty is a luxury.

Maybe because he is also a Saint?

Why don't you bring the Spanish Inquisition into the fray? It's going to be fun. You heretics turned heathens are so predictable. I think the institution of the Inquisition should be revived.

European law couldn't be clearer on that matter.

You don't understand. If that is your unreliable attitude, I'm afraid EU law will no longer be valid. The Polish national interest outweighs it.

Because they seem to believe that Germany will just take them off their hands

News / Poland to introduce border controls with Germany and Lithuania [101]

I am just stating facts here.

You stated selected facts that suit your narrative. Why don't you get to the bottom of it and answer the question of why the EU countries with an external border allowed those migrants in? Once you find a truthful answer to that question, we can talk again.

It is easy to blame Poland

Indeed, if that is your attitude, you need to know that Poland doesn't have to take undocumented migrants off your hands, and if that is the attitude of your government, they might expect a closed border very soon and migrants pouring across your border. No need to thank me.

@BB, see BB, you are an exception, one can reason with you to a degree, I'm afraid that your ruling class and decisions makers think more alike, Tacitus.

because Germany's neighbours - including Poland - have been systematically breaking EU law.

Indeed, everybody is guilty, but the blameless and law-abiding Germany is a victim here. Why does that sound familiar?
---
It is far from certain that Germany is breaking EU law here.

Oh yeah, the court needs to have a say on this matter. However, German neighbors, there is no need to take them to court, they are guilty as charged, eh?

responsible for any refugee that crosses the border from Belarus

The reality is that if people cross into Poland illegally, it's difficult to blame Poland for not following proper paperwork.

Additionally, the challenges Poland faces with its eastern neighbors have existed for some time. Has Brussels, Germany, or anyone else provided support or assistance to help Poland deal with this issue? The issue of asymmetrical warfare being waged by Moscow against Poland, using Belarus as a proxy and migrants as their weapon of choice, is collectively ignored by the EU. It's frustrating to see such inaction from supposed allies.

All Poland hears are cries for human rights, discussions about the illegality of border pushbacks (which is something Berlin is doing now), and plenty of other anti-Polish propaganda. It's clear that we are not being treated as true allies.

? As long as Poland takes the migrants who have been caught at the Polish-German border back all the better.

I wonder if you believe in such a world because you trust German propaganda and their authors, or perhaps because you are predisposed to trust them. Maybe you feel that believing this narrative makes you look better, so you pretend to agree.

Regardless of the reason, Polish citizens, including myself, wouldn't have an issue with returning the migrants who entered Germany through Poland. That response is more than what you can expect from friends like France and Austria. Even your old ally Italy told you to go figure it out yourself.

Instead of being grateful for a supportive neighbor like Poland, your government took advantage of the situation by shifting as many migrants as possible onto us without a proper procedure or a shred of evidence that they originated from Poland.

How can you verify that these people crossed the Polish-German border? You could check their iPods or mobile phones to see if they have been active in Poland. But why bother? Poland's government behaves like pushovers, taking in anyone you send our way-let's exploit that opportunity, shall we?

Are you surprised that nobody likes you? Aside from Israel and Russia, that's not exactly something to take pride in.
