News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 23 [1012]

With Ukraine, my hatred grows in direct proportion to the amount I think about it.

You'll hate it even more when it proves to be the end of r*SSia.

Why Harte them. They have done you no harm.

Also.... look at russia's allies... a veritable who's who of some of the worst governments on Earth......china.......north korea.... Iran.,,,.

Choosing between their vision of the worlds and that in Europe, Canada, Australia etc is not a hard one.

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]

One particular complaint relates to people parking in such a way that he has to make a detour....

It's a valid point. People in PL often block pavements and entrances. Very bad for wheelchair users and others with impaired mobility. U de EU disability discrimination rules, people who park so badly that they impair access are supposed to be fined. I would give points for parking that badly.

Waited two weeks for an appointment (instead of three months) to see the specialist at his private rooms and then he treated me as a public patient at the hospital

I did that in the U.K. once. It was for something elective but still annoying so it wasn't a priority. He put me on a list he had of patients who were in a trial (the trial was a nurse doing the procedure) and it was sorted within weeks.

Po polsku / Koniec Tuska [17]

Wygrał wybory uczciwie. KO ma całą kadencję, zanim będą musieli to zrobić ponownie (zakładając, że żadne dupki nie opuszczą koalicji).

Niech Nawrocki i PiS żrą gówno i zdychają.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]

This war is strange, first the Americans bombed empty bunkers in Iran, then the Iranians attacked empty American bases. All because everyone warned each other.

It was a show of strength. At least it was precision bombing by the Yanks.

I only hope that the Americans informed the Russians in advance

I gather they did.

Where did we go wrong?

By continuing capitalism, imperialism and authoritarianism in an age where technology is evolving faster than humans.

Is then this really the best time to bomb Iran?

Probably. It could have waited, however as we know, it's a show of strength. No getting bogged down with panicked reactions to the little provocations like fires and letter bombs and burning electricity substations. No squealing about markets flooded with Chinese dreck. Forget Trup's bluster; it's a quiet baring of teeth.

Chess moves with China and elsewhere. Maybe more bridge than chess. Quick, dirty and unambiguous.

What did scum Putler and his big boss from North Korea agree on at their meetings ?

Probably swapping tips on how to run a Gulag system.

Apart from the need to throw a few Norks into the meat grinder in exchange

Food is what that turd Kim needs. Not for himself, since unlike his citizens he's not exactly skin and bones.

Off-Topic / An average brain weight by ethnicity/nation [36]

But, fellas, it's not the weight of the brain that matters but the efficiency if its circuitry

True. There are people who have much of their brain as a void due to some sort of congenital issue. They aren't less intelligent than others.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [187]

think I'd go a bit bonkers (or more bonkers) in a small one like Poznan or something.

There are things to like there however I didn't enjoy the year I spent there very much. That's not the sole fault of poznan though.

Warsaw is a big city for me however it's not too big and I've lived in bigger ones. The scale is ok.

Jarmark Europa, I was very sad when it was closed.

Yes. That was an interesting bit of town generally. All the nice places have gone now and been replaced (if at all) by less interesting things.

It's possible he was injured though unlikely. My guess would be in or near Qom.

I'd think the regime would have to go into deep hiding

Me too. The Times this morning said that Khameini is hidden and uncontactable. The real spiritual leader has of course been in occlusion for a decade. Whether that will change is another matter however Khameini may well try something very stupid.

think us idiots

They do.

when they believe

If, more than when, however a cornered animal is dangerous and especially if they have mystical religion in the mix.

It's pretty idiotic to kidnap diplomats and destroy embassies however they did it.

If they really try anything then this will be their end

Probably, however they are unpredictable enough to try it and could bring a bomb into any country they have an embassy at in the diplomatic bag. Or if they don't have an embassy, they could use a pariah state that does.

Trup could do nothing whatsoever to stop them.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 23 [1012]

It is really incredible that some people still bring up that long-debunked

r*SSian propaganda.

They don't realise that President Zelenskyy is staying put and will be around for a long time.

@Paulina
I suggest you stay on topic.

Now, what do posters here think about the risk of a dirty bomb?

According to Iran, their enriched uranium was moved before the recent attack. If they are not lying, they could easily make a dirty bomb and get it abroad.

I'd be wary of YouTube stuff. And old documentaries.

The important issue right now is that Iran is angry, wounded and still has its uranium. They can't make a nuke however they can make a dirty bomb. Even many.

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]

Are you feeling the same pain with the sh*tty bacon here?

A tip. Go to Makro (no card needed nowadays; you just ask on the way in) and buy the catering packs of sliced boczek. It's sliced thickly and is better quality than the vaccuum packed dreck in supermarkets. The good bit is still missing but the quality is sometimes very good.

many identical soul-destroying wafer-filled dusty 'chocolate' bars.
