The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]
Nathan, I owe you an answer to your comments in this thread - sorry I'm very busy and don't have enough time even to read the forum.
What is the disaster about my country? It goes through rough times, so?
If we want to keep some proportion then when I call the situation in Poland "bad" (as compared to the rich EU-countries) then qualification for Ukraine has to be "disastrous"
In sense of economy, political situation, political influences, future.
No way around it.
you pretend to having had some alliance and somehow bad influence of Lits and Uks on Polish mentality
Rather
involvement into the East-European chaos than any bad influences and it's not my opinion but Pawel Jasienica's statement.
You cannot deny negative consequences of the Polish East-expansion - you may call it occupation and I would rather say "colonization" but we can probably agree on the results:
permanent conflict with Russia, Cossacks' risings, partitions, Wolhynia killings etc.etc.
And according to Jasienica there was a different, better way:
protecting our Western territories, more cooperation with Germans and even accepting some mild kind of Germanization without losing our national identity.
Mental Germaization instead of getting involved in Ukrainian-Russian (Eastern Slavonic) issues.
Quite ahistorical idea - it takes two for tango - but sounds good to me.
Say simply:"I, Borrka, want to be a German and my people be German-like"
Let us put it some different way "Me, Borrka would like to be a
little more like Germanics and get rid of so called "Slavic-soul".
What I like about Slavs are Slavic blond, blue eyed girls with their high cheek bones and not their communism spoiled characters .
Amen.
But don't worry.
I'm all an ignorant Slavic post-commie bastard lol.
