News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [254]

@GefreiterKania
What Poland needs is: More military logistics, larger production of small arms and ammunition for small arms, production of large scale land, air and naval drones.

Anything less won't be a large enough deterrent from further Russian attacks and would need to either accept Russian demands or invite a larger foreign force on territory of Poland for some sort of deal or compensation. Hopefully without having to perform deviant debouchary which certain Russian posters seem to be used of doing. Since they write it in a way as if it is «normal»

The shopkeepers can actually fly and shoot?

And butcher too, how do you explain them Liberating themselves from the Spanish Empire? Not to mention the slaughter of German soldiers invading the Netherlands in 1940.

I recall it was mentioned that the battle for Arnhem was a massacre.

News / The most pro-Russian Polish politicians [14]

Option B and C I think only do it to gain publicity. They love media. They are more in favour of Russia over Ukraine, I think it stems from logical thinking that Russia doesn't have the capabilities to threaten Poland in near future and any effort to weaken Russia and strengthening Ukraine at the cost of Poland is folly cause they do not see Ukraine as a ally but, more of a enemy, rival or not an ally at all.

They might also see through that both PO and PiS try to gain support by supporting Ukraine from the mainstream and media while also pleasing foreign backers at same time and decided to go against it. Honestly don't think Russia has much to do with their thinking right now.

Option A, I think he is too new to Politics and tries to think rationally. Looks at the facts of Ukrainian behaviour towards Poland in comparison to Russian behaviour towards Poland and seems to lack emotions or feelings or disregarding them. Especially feelings of hate or fear towards Russia.

He doesn't seem concerned about Russia at all.
None of them seem to be "big fans" or actual supporters of Russia and I have seen more attempts to blemish them then them actually supporting Russia. Larger chance they will be pushed into the arms of Russia unwillingly rather then them being actual supporters.

D) There are no real options for Russia, at least Putin's camp. Only ones who could potentially been open to it would been hooligans, criminal semi elements and far-right who did not fight UB or ZOMO in PRL. Themselves and their supporters have lived on anti-Soviet/Russian sentiments cause of it and find little reason to like Putin really. As he is still seen as ex-kgb agent.

Nawrocki would had been closest to it if Russia finds a respectable person able to fight and defeat Putin in a manner they find appealing. Then they could gain a entry into Poland. Otherwise it's simply a blind wall and used mainly to smear opponents. Nothing more

Everyone and their

That is because position in logistics are seen as punishment, anyone capable of taking care of materials and counting so everything is there that is in need is in the civilian sector or abroad. The army needs such men desperately (a lot of open position for transport etc). The military just doesn't have the money to compete with the civilian sector.

Therefore naturally, loses on contracts, gear, materials etc. Don't be surprised if professional soldiers buy their own gear.

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]

Can you realistically see Russia losing

Uhm yeah, ever since they didn't take Kiev. Couldn't take it then. Can't take it now, Ukraine is far more suited to combat Russia then at the beginning.

It's a war of attrition the west happily will keep stale and long lived. Why you think U.S.A just doesn't send all it has? Cause it's not good for it to crush or invade Russia and trigger a nuclear strike. They just wanna swamp the entire area until Russia realises what a gigantic drain they willingly set to drown everything they got in to it.

When Russia realises the blunder. A deal or a peace treaty can be signed. Until then it's just gonna be theatrics for the audience that doesn't know any better

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

I doubt Norway,

Not sure about Sweden (cause it's a looneybin), but most politicians in Norway (including the ones from the Labour Party that has strong connections to worker union's across the country). Do think that socialism stifles growth. Which is why they have allowed or are not against capitalism being present in the country.

The amount of socialism amounts depends on the fruits of wealth of the market and capitalistic approach.

Except left-wing radicals, most of the political spectrum does not see socialism as functional or able to survive on it's own and fully dependant on capitalism. Therefore the more wealth created and invested. The more benefits can be provided.

News / Poland Sports News - part 2 [91]

them yesterday

I find it very odd, if Polish government murdered anyone in 1939 it was German minority collaborators with tight connection to Abwehr or SD. Excecuted for treason, which German military retaliated for resulting in a bloody incident, which spiralled into a norm of butchering during occupation of Poland.

Is the owner of the footballclub a German? Otherwise I find it very odd. Perhaps their school taught them something different

News / Poland National Recovery Plan - KPO funding [40]

strongly illustrates

It goes deeper then that I am afraid. For what else is there?

EU may be designed to corrupt

Of course it was! Trade! Talk! Free movement! Money in your pocket!

Instead of embargo, silence, walls, guards with guns and guarddogs, with civilians getting robbed by crooked police or servicemen. You paint yourself as really walking the earth and being a realist, yet sometimes you strike me as forgetful and naive! It makes me almost feel cynical (which I truly dislike!)

@Torq
The aristocracy that was supposed to be the crème de la crème of society before ww1. Did all it could in many cases to secure itself a state position, within it's administration.

One can persuade a human being with talk, writing, money, a weapon, a women or man for that matter to do one's bidding or wishes.

The worst elements of the E.U stems mainly, sadly and in fact from it being that the worst types of politicians that are unpopular, unwanted or failed in their own homeland were shipped to the E.U administration with the hopes of a bag of money would make them busy with something else.

What can one expect from a politician that is bribed to stay in exile after all.

Another lie - only the communists that mascaraded themselves as Polish wanted the Soviets in Poland. The government of Poland was in exile until 1989

Get your facts straight - also General Bór-Komorowski started a uprising that made you get saved by a German

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? [396]

@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?
