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.

They should not have the right to vote, after all, they are not the ones defending; at best, they are victims.

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.

I hated the place

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.

JP2 because he was the "Polish pope".

Maybe because he is also a Saint?

or the Catholic Church's role

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.

countries like Poland in the dark ages

We like our dark ages, thank you, don't dare to barge in with your stupid rainbow flags, trans, pedophilia, and Marxism. It doesn't bring light, only chaos.

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

Wrong answer, keep searching.

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.

Poland has its strengths; homogeneity is not especially either a strength or particularly accurate.

I understand that you believe diversity is a strength. Therefore, you should be ashamed that Britain hasn't even reached 40% diversity.

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

Well....we will hear THAT often in the next time!

Do you know why I'm emphasizing this issue? Over the past few years, Poland has frequently encountered this situation, and there have been financial penalties to pay. However, now that the German government is openly disregarding EU law, I haven't heard of any penalties or threats from Brussels directed at Germany. This really supports my point.

As you know, I believe that many of these laws are questionable, particularly the green policies. I think Poland should completely discard them since EU law does not treat all member states equally.

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

Nah....these border controls are purely and only on the german side....that has nothing to do with polish legitimacy!

Is that not clear enough? It i against the EU law. Also, it was supposed to be temporary this was the Germans' excuse, but it has been going on for long enough to be permanent.
Now that the Tusk government announced that Poland will establish checkpoints on the Polish side of the border, it seems the Germans have an issue with it.

By the way, the German government wants to sort out their problem by shifting it onto Poland and whoever is stupid enough to take those people and does not ask questions.
The Tusk government's support has dramatically gone down after that issue became known to the Polish public.
Hence his desperate announcements.
