History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]

no Polak told them to stay home and leave Poland and the Germans alone.

Your one crazy fool. There was a civil war after ww2 to kick out the Soviets. Don't spread lies

You're "what if" example is childish and makes no sense.

It's not his primo

NATO bombing Serbia, who has been the most pro-western country in the Balkans also makes no sense. Especially as Serbian women, children and were genocided as well before Srebrnica.

U.S.A and U.K got played and can't seem to see it.

Well, at least they were a net payer.

Another believer in the «big surges of money»
Those numbers are peanuts for a states budget.

It's the trade that helped the most, which the U.K decided to make a lot more expensive. Thank your own politicians for shooting yourself in the foot

In reality, nobody needs Poland.

As far as we can see nobody needs the U.K really. After Brexit, haven't been much need to get U.K back now. Right?

History / PAŃSTWO - A Tale of Polish Occupation [27]

Is it a comedy? Is it a horror?

Tragikomedia

Tragic comedy
Both! :)

It's hard to write PANSTWO.

Imagine the situation, the absurdity and then add problems to a situation that is normal to appear in any system or situation. Make it funny, hilarious etc. something that would make you laugh or smile at least. Polish it a little bit (no pun intended), then release it.

Humans adapt even to the most horrible situations

History / PAŃSTWO - A Tale of Polish Occupation [27]

Very nice Grunnie.... hahaha!

^^

After many months of deliberations and meeting politicians, biurocrats, local police, police departments, postal offices, online meetings and finally procuring the necessary equipment and preparing the infrastructure in St. Petersburg.

The first Inpost was implemented in the village he visited, Panevkja.

While showing how to use the Inpost to the villagers, one of the bodyguards assigned to the captain from the Russian police department in St. Petersburg came a bit closer to ask a few questions while Captain Burak was helping out with ordering deliveries to the village.

Wania: How come it took these many months for you to install this in the village? Thought after a while you lost your job.

Captain Burak: Ehh, don't even make remind myself of the trouble. Few people wanted to grant me the funds to even make it possible and had to go from politician to politician to have some document signed of support before I could even enter the door at the department of finances.

So I travelled to St. Petersburg multiple times to gain approval for it and some written documents I could show in Warsaw to be more convincing. They didn't want to force anything unwanted and waste money... While in St.Petersburg I too often got the reply «You go to Warsaw now Poland in charge, ask them. We got nothing to do with it.»

So I felt like a Ping Pong, back and forth for months without end. Finally I had a breakthrough with a investor who had some connections he used to help me out. Then it went a lot smoother.

Wania: «Ah I see»

Random villager: «Why can't I finalise the delivery Pane Burak?»

Captain Burak sighs a little before answering: «You see this box on your phone screen? Tap it with your finger and choose a payment method»

Off-Topic / AfD Party is growing ever more powerful throughout country [187]

and Belarus.

The potatoe «King» tries his best to anger and provoke Poland on the border and force to a deal based on making Poland fear her (for what excactly?) yet experienced Potato «famine».

Belarus would gain a lot more from friendly relations with Poland trade, potentially buying food in times of crises to at least not starve in that backyard. But, it doesn't fit with his Soviet History so he does what he does instead.

Only trouble would be if Russia used Belarus as staging ground in to Poland or Lithuania. Yet Russian tacticians know that any disturbance near Baltic creates unnecessary disadvtanges for the Russians in Królewiec area.

That concern is largerly ignored, but it can easily grow to a hotbed of anti-Putin nest of opposition. If army get's too pissed off. It can ignore it falling more and more to the hands of the Russian opposition and use it as leverage against Putin.

That they need more «means» to be able to silence or control anything there etc

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [392]

@Bratwurst Boy
Unless it's disinformation to keep it secret. So far the Ukrainian side has been very dismissive of PiS and see it only as U.S.A's lapdog (similar viewpoint Russia has of Poland) which would infuriate any Pole regardless of his political orientation.

I hope I am wrong but, Ukraine does not seem to think of Poland as a ally. Which is a big ungrateful lie, just as accusing Poland of being Russia's ally in the UN! Untolerable!

Ukrainian politicians said on multiple

They also said we will be best buddies and allies, then when war is over we will be back to being competitors. They see not only Poland as a rival but, better then Poland too! They do not lack ambition but, good planning, good judgement and diplomacy with Poland! I just see more reasons every day to cut off Ukraine completely. They are more of a threat then Belarus can ever become even after Lukashenko's shenanigans.

Ukraine is a profiteer like always, it was such with the Cossacks. Leaving traders unguarded then pillaging the pillagers and keeping the loot. Ungrateful opportunists. They spilled too much milk basically! Refuse to clean it up and bracingly suggest Poland ought to do it. The nerve!

@Bratwurst Boy
Basically yes, it would fuel Russian military industrial complex unfortunately. It would give Germany a cheap gas supply again (and Poland if there is a political will to it)

But, if Russians are willing to share drone technology while Ukraine wants not to share and have a rivalry attitude. Then they ask for what they accused Poland from the start! Serves them bloody right

I hope you will

Some people think nothing is sacred and everyone should be able to laugh about everything and that they don't pay for it... -.-

I saw in Polsat today (via YouTube) a certain person from Strategy&Future (they all should be hired advisors for Polish governments and have full confidentiality protection and not be tracked by media and have consultations with Polish politicians with all parties regarding Poland's strategic future)

Main problem seem to be their leader is either a anarchist or democrat that would rather that the public (and foreign agents knew about what they share in media)

With regard to what was said, information is that drones used in Ukraine by both Ukraine and Russia have a life dependency of 2 months and are used in the millions.

It would require Poland to step up drone infrastructure and production. If Ukraine refuses to share information about drone technology cause it's see Poland as inferior then Ukraine, what other choice does Poland have then sign a deal with Russia?

The problem, as always,

It has it's practical use, the power in Poland lies in the streets of Poland and the will of it's people that no politician can bend to his own will. (Number one mistake foreign politicians regarding Poland make)

So when Ukrainian leadership and politicians clearly snub and behave badly towards Polish politicians like they did. It shows their true colours that the public notices and shifts accordingly leading to a policy change that comes as a surprise.

After all, the two most influential parties in Poland both originate from the same single labour union.

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

If Warsaw is unhappy about those controles,

Which plays in to PiS hand politically, Germany's closest allies (KO, are politically against expansion of the police state and it's influence on the public)

PiS is the main party to propose strengthening border controls and the role of the Polish state, which will come at odds with German businesses!

A German government aiming at working for the safety and security of it's own citizens with a unpopular choice of supporting more conservative forces and the Pro-U.S.A faction in Poland. Will give a chance to improve relations with U.S.A while gaining support or at least not radicalising it's own right wingers in Germany. It would gain a gigantic media backlash and send shockwaves across German businesses however.

While a German business focused government would work closely with Donald Tusk and sabotage state projects in Poland that could compete with German businesses.

Donald Tusk also is a yes man towards German businesses. Not much will change unless German government changes policy or a new government emerges in Poland

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Ukraine? [44]

As a thought experiment

Sure

-For
1. the fall of Ukraine means that Poland will become the next "bumper" of the West to stop the invading Russians (completely agree)

2. the fall of Ukraine, coupled with American withdrawal from Europe, will create a very difficult geostrategic position
for Poland. Only under certain circumstances (if Germany and France will strong enough and Russia won't accept a Polish influenced Europe. Then lack of America would be a security risk. If U.S.A backs out of Ukraine to save money but, instead chooses to heavily invest in to Poland while having a secret agreement with Russia regarding U.S/Russia influence in Slavic world it would be advantages for Poland that America backs out of Ukraine)

3. a strong bilateral alliance could serve as the economic spine of the Three Seas (Międzymorze) Initiative, making
the entire Central Europe more self-reliant and globally competitive. This can only happen with a weakened Europe as Ukraine jumps at first possible opportunity to throw and cast away Polish relations or Russian relations if German or other relations can be forged.

4. Poland has been the shield of Europe for a long time, taking the brunt of conflicts and with that deaths with regards to Swedish, Turkish or Russian Imperialism throughout history.

Having Ukraine taking over that role to build up it's sovereignty will give room and space for both Germany and Poland to build up industrially and economically.

5. With a sovereign Ukraine and in alliance with Poland, Ukrainian citizens will favour working economically in Poland over Russia for the next decades.

We'll make it right.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up similar to the American Revolution, Britain being too much focused on other fronts. Pulling back areas nowadays known as Canada and just bury the hatchet and work out a deal that would turn profitable for Britain anyway.

Russia could do something similar, so far it looks more like the scenario of French Algeria or French Vietnam until the costs hit a number Russia won't be able to sustain or bluff itself out of.

That is, the West is genuinely DISAPPOINTED with Russia.

Most certainly yes, a lot of Poles of high stature and less betted on Russia for a myriad of reasons. It's own defeat in ww1 were a disappointment for many (especially those of pro-Slavic leanings). The west didn't conclude as such since Lenin took over shortly and the Soviet Union was seen as hope of the workers worldwide. Yet the Soviet Union was seen as a caricature of what Russia had been and could never come back to the world stage on it's own.

Situation changed back and forth, yet very few saw the Soviet Union as a ideal, or a power to strive after or be inspired by. (In comparison to many Poles being inspired by the greatness of Tsarist Russia)

Many were depressed and saw no way out of the iron curtain until 1980's.

The west in general didn't get to be as disappointed or losing faith in Russia as a co-partner and a stable state in a region of instability until 1956 (Hungarian revolt) 1968 (Czechoslovak invasion), invasion of Afganistan. Dissolution of the Soviet Union, apparent passivity towards dissolution of Yugoslavia, conflict with Chechens, Georgians, Crimea then finally the nail in the coffin. Invasion of Ukraine.

Before invasion of Ukraine there were still British Moscow correspondents on Polish-Belarus border painting a dark situation about the migrants trying to cross the border. It all changed after that, people had enough of Russian told stories, ears were shut and hate spread.

Nobody here tried to explain to me why the US needs artillery and tanks.

Where ever a outpost or area of significance for the U.S.A (strategic minerals, factory or anything of importance is too dangerous to fall in to the wrong hands) has a fortified position that cannot be bombed or nuked due to it's significance (politically, diplomatically or whatnot)

Then tanks would be used to aid and protect advancing troops, while precise artillery would give cover and suppressive fire (similar to a machine gun, making it too dangerous to fire back) and can also potentially provide smoke cover. Especially in areas with heavily defended Anti-Air systems.

Not to mention that U.S.A is still upholding combined arms military doctrine that requires all sorts of equipment in co-operation with each other.

If U.S.A is innovative enough and learns it's lessons from Ukraine war, it will be switched out with more human wave tactics, just with the use of drones not human soldiers.

A massive wave of materially disposable drones, aided by precise aiming tanks, artillery and air cover that hits the most valueable targets. Creates a opening to advance further in. Making a defensive line completely obsolete until weapons or tactics countering massive drone waves obsolete

For non-retarded Poles,

It's only a symptom of western influence, just as using English linguo talking points.

Just as a person in PRL could be talking about milk bars or chained glasses. Nowadays Poles might talk about race, aliens or femboys.

Takes a presence in Poland, but not cause of Poland itself per, say but, of Poland in NATO, EU etc.

Might as well imagine Russians inventing busses with redistribution of seats for whites and non whites if influenced enough by the west.

The masonic civilisation of death

Forces of evil have been on the march in the shadows, and conclusion is pessimism?

Poland needs to solidify it's reputation among German public, Dutch public, French public and Slav public in various countries.

Increase it's defence industry for a robotic army with human drone controllers, robotic engineers and human labour within agriculture with high quality foods and vital control over amounts of poison in the food sector.

All traditions, tech, know how and contacts will and can be built similar to know Jewish experts (goldsmiths, jewelcrafting etc arrived in Poland during Casimir the Great)

Gigantic opportunity for Poland not only within low skill jobs, but reshaping Poland as a bastion of hope for the hopeless in Europe.
