News / Russian agents plan sabotage acts in Poland??? [74]

Hey, isn`t it time to set fire to Russian infrastructure in order to teach them a lesson because nothing else will help??? Polish, Baltics and Ukrainian intelligence might take care of it together.

On Monday , Prime Minister Donald Tusk commented on the information provided by the Lithuanian prosecutor's office on Platform X.

"The Lithuanian prosecutor's office has stated that Russian special services are behind the arson attacks in Vilnius and Warsaw (Marywilska). In line with our suspicions. Similarly to the attempt to set fire to the paint factory in Wrocław, the Russians hired Ukrainian citizens," he wrote. He also assessed that this was "exceptional perfidy."

Shortly after, Tusk published another post in which he appealed to allies. "Dear allies, the investigation by the Lithuanian prosecutor's office confirmed our suspicions that Russian special services were responsible for the arson attacks on shopping malls in Vilnius and Warsaw. It is good to know this before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state," the head of government wrote.

Yes, it is, but in his later post Iron explained they are hugely unwelcome in his "alliance. "


Exactly!!! They will betray us if they are left outside the alliance. That is why they need to be in it as a heavy weight player.
BB and me explained it before.

You can't just leave us alone! We get stupid ideas

I will. It is the logic of a sandbox game in which kids build fortresses and make alliances based on who they like or dislike coz Jack once stole a toy from Paul while Pam spat into Alex`s soup.


Exactly!!! You mustn`t build a sand fortress higher than mine!! If you do, I will destroy it with my toy shovel!! And later I will report you to our Miss! I am warning you!!

History / Why Poland is not Russia [260]


Having it or not is less important.

What really matters is the strong belief you have it yourself. Belief continually undisturbed by multiple events in the past which tarnish the glorious image a little.

Poles/Polesses believe in their moral superiority and deny it to others.
While others believe in theirs and deny it to us.

And we arrive at a nice balance of nature. hahahaha

Who is right?? Of course we are coz we believe. It is enough. :):):)

E.,g, Polish state company Unitra bought a licence for cassette recorder from German Grundig in 1976 and kept the production for about 10 years. We had this item too.

It is quite simple. My comments are ultimate truth and do not require further discussion cos there is nothing new and worth reading after I take voice. Ha!!!!!


AmaSSing logic. Sth is key but we can do without it.
How about doing without any additional alliance at all ???? And instead depending on the EU???


Inconsistency. In other threads you were against Poland`s contribution into preserving Ukrainian potential and now you are planning to use it.
Can you decide what you want???

Guys and guyesses, you have just seen amasing example of daydreaming by a Polish imbecile who strongly believes he can transfer his kindergarten sandbox games into the real world of politics.

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

Exactly in mid 1980s I bought myself a stereo system called Mini Tower produced by Polish company Diora. It looked beautiful and offered nice quality of sound. It cost a lot of money, including extra charge for the seller who first bought it at an electronics shop for a regular price and then offered at a city bazaar for double.

I was willing to spend this money cos I listened to a lot of my fave metal music at the time. I had been saving for a long time etc etc Never mind.

What I need to say is imagine my surprise when a few years ago I read expert comments that Mini Tower and similar products had already been obsolete when produced, compared to their equivalents in the West, by about 20 years. While I always considered my Tower the state of the art technology.

It is a good example how communism worked - the same things were produced for decades cos there was no will and money to promote technological progress.

PS> I still keep the tower in the garage or basement.

I checked Iron`s input on Ukraine.

Here is what I got among others:


And this guy is suggesting an alliance in which Ukraine is included as one of major partners????

Who will fall for that???

News / Building regional alliance to stabilize Eastern Europe. [236]


Not once. You will break it many times soon. :):):) . Like Novi.


It is only your wishful thinking.

Besides, I noticed striking inconsistencies in your original list of major countries. You included Ukraine!! How come if you are constantly barking against it in other threads??? Shall I quote your words from dozens of posts??? You are steadfastly against Polish support for Ukraine now so what alliance with it are you thinking of in that little mind of a funny bear of yours??????? hahahaha

That is why I said: your alliance is bollox, your idea is sucked from the finger and the whole thread is a waste of time cos you are bored at home. I understand you wanted to show as "intelligent " Iron for a change but you failed.

USA, Canada / Better life in USA or Canada? - (Who can I sponge from the most?) [45]

US standards are plummeting like a Russian plane shot in the Ukrainian skies.

The widely commented Tesla show in front of the White House also caused mixed feelings in the American public. - In response to Tesla's falling ratings and growing criticism, President Trump decided to organize a car show in front of the White House to publicly support Elon Musk, which was met with a lot of criticism and a little embarrassment. Promoting the private company of his largest donor and employee in front of the White House is unprecedented and seen as a transgression of the norms of conduct of public officials - says the political scientist.

It seems that in the distant future, Poland`s grievance will be the result of current trumpist gov`s madness.

Exactly!!! Germans need to be contained within larger structures. When left on their own, they start getting crazy ideas about themselves and the world around them. :):):)

All in all, the whole idea of a new "alliance" by Iron is complete bollox. Nobody will take it seriously, neither the West nor Russia.
The only chance for Poland to be in a successful alliance is the EU. When we become a crucial country in it, then we will impose our weight on all alliances made under Euro patronage.
But how can we become a key player if there are so many nutters like nationalists and homo sovieticuses here???

Iron speaks like a Polish nationalist who rejects the EU in all its aspects. He is Europhobic, sort of, and his ideas aim at pushing Poland out of the EU.

A very dangerous agenda cos such people like him once led to the partitions of Poland which lasted exactly 123 years.

Of course. There are German worshipers and German haters. And we attain the amasing balance in nature.

All in all, your pathetic "alliance" without Germans will be kids` game in the sandbox. Out of place, out of time.


You are afraid of German domination??? Where is your Polish pride? And your strong belief that Poles/Polesses are able to dominate Germany in the alliance??? Why do you and Iron surrender immediately?

History / The Battle of Kolberg 1945 [9]


No. The primary reason was Katyn Massacre.
The number of men kept growing. In August 1943, they formed the 2nd Division and hastily began to create the third. In the spring of 1944, they were transformed into the 1st Polish Corps. Its numbers were as follows: privates - 29,269, non-commissioned officers - 8,398, officer cadets - 1,277, officers - 4,564, or a total of 43,508. As before, the lack of officer cadres was clearly felt. Even if they were supplemented by Soviet officers - at that time they constituted 67 percent - ​​they were among the worst. 70 percent of them did not have a higher education, and 14 percent did not even have a secondary education. The atmosphere among the privates was also not the best.

Of course. Political correctness in countries like Britain forbids stronger tastes. I experienced it in the US uni canteen 35 years ago. Marinated mushrooms tasted as if they had been soaked in pure water for a year.

Poland still holds strong about its food.

OK, we mean two different periods. I meant the initial stage of forming the army in the USSR. While you meant the phase when it encroached on Polish territory and could freely mobilise local Poles.

News / Building regional alliance to stabilize Eastern Europe. [236]


BS. You omit Germany in the primary group cos you are nationalistically prejudiced against them. No alliance has a chance to be a real heavyweight player without Germans` active participation.
All in all, your ideas are not only delusions but also very dangerous to Poland.

Nothing?? You mean too light??? I coat my zuch slices in flour and crisp fry in deep oil. They are very energetic aka full of calories. If they don`t have enough for your needs, add fatty meat aka bacon like I did above.
I assure you, you won`t need to snack for the next 3 hours at least.

History / The Battle of Kolberg 1945 [9]


No, it isn`t correct to boast of that imposed "brotherhood" cos patriotic Poles/Polesses still remember it was Soviet Russian and Belarussian soldiers who invaded Poland on 17 Sep 1939 in alliance with Nazi Germans. Then the 4th partition of Poland followed and Katyn Massacre. It was a matter of luck that Germans attacked Soviets in 1941. To Polish patriots, both Nazis and Soviets were the same thugs.
Soviets created the Polish Army but its officers were Soviet cos Polish ones had been executed in Katyn and other massacre sites in the USSR. Never forget about it.

Food / Regional products from Poland with EU certificates and without [18]

Cebularz lubelski aka Onion Pie from Lublin is protected in the EU. It is the 37th Polish product registered in the EU. The certificate, in addition to legal protection, guarantees quality and a traditional production method.

Cebularz originates from Jewish cuisine; it was first baked in the 19th century by Jews from the Lublin Old Town, later also by Jews from Kazimierz Dolny and Zamość. In the interwar period, it was already popular among the Polish population. Today, many bakeries in the region bake it.

"Cebularz must be of a certain size. Products - onion, poppy seeds, oil - from the Lublin region must be used for its baking, and the traditional recipe must be preserved. Bakeries that successfully pass the certification procedure will be able to use the EU mark for their cebularz,"

The dough for the cebularz is made from wheat flour with the addition of butter and milk. The cebularz is formed by hand; it is usually 15-20 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm thick. Traditional recipes call for the finely diced onion mixed with poppy seeds to be prepared 3-4 hours before baking, and for the cebularz to be salted before putting the pancakes in the oven so that the onion releases its juice.

I like this onion pie but in my region it is offered without poppy seed.
