Life / Do you know this Polish male model ? [18]

skirt

They aren't actually women's skirts.

it just doesn't look right

In countries where trousers are rarely worn, the traditional dress looks both right and entirely normal for that environment.

Trousers are a slightly daft idea anyway, wrapping each leg in a fabric tube.

Off-Topic / The agreement in Alaska between the US and Russia. [37]

a president in the future that would make him look like a f*cking genius

Trup is by far the worst they've had in living memory and doesn't even try to hide that.

He should have stayed on Epstein Island.

Off-Topic / The agreement in Alaska between the US and Russia. [37]

the day when Europe and America will have to go their separate ways is fast approaching. For common decency's sake

Sadly yes.

They botched Vietnam (which, thank God, Harold Wilson kept us out of, even at the cost of Nixon dumping currency reserves and trashing Sterling), they botched Iraq (and sucked both the U.K. and Poland into that debacle, killing some of our people in "friendly fire" incidents due to the US army's poor standards of training), botched Afghanistan at the cost of many lives and are now making a complete mess of their attempts to end the invasion of Ukraine, a country whose borders they promised to protect.

getting on his knees before Putler

It's hard to believe that the orange person is so bizarrely incompetent. His rambling speeches suggest declining and declined mental capacity and his alleged aim of getting a Nobel Peace Prize is laughable.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 24 [745]

Golden Cow and his idiot team have capitulated on every point so far. Of course it is a surrender

Either it's part of a genius masterplan or it's a failure by Trup and his team. There is no evidence of a masterplan.

In July 2018, the U.S. government issued the Crimea Declaration, which explicitly states that the U.S. will never recognize Russia's claims of sovereignty over Crimea.

This is something that cannot be ignored.

having humiliated Golden Cow

Putler was running rings around Trup and of course he's crapped out as usual over the sanctions.

If anything, the world is closer to war than when they met.

Work / Are Poles workaholics? [164]

Our geography didn't change in 1989. Economic and political system did.

Yes. The malign influence of r*SSia vanished and instead of being the wrong side of a divide, the curtain fell and PL was again a crossroads.

All countries are prisoners of geography.

Verify your facts

The facts are that Japan has declined (though quality of life is far higher than in China( and Poland is now in the boom phase of boom and bust.

Imagine where Poland would be today

Perhaps worse off than now..

Today we caught up with Japan in GDP per capita

In part because of the decline of Japan.

The growth in Poland is due to the one factor that has both blessed and cursed it; geography.

How it compare to the absolute poverty and hopelessness

Or the absolute poverty and hopelessness of living under capitalism, especially when economies contract, the workers lose everything and the 'investors' lose only their initial investment at most.

Do people think the real putin went to Alaska or one of his doubles?

Seeing the picture of him there, I did wonder.

The same newspaper also had a pic of him allegedly taken several hours earlier in Magadan and they did look quite different.

With Putler, it's anyone's guess. Apparently he takes special sealed portapotties whenever he travels abroad since he's paranoid about spooks intercepting and analysing his turds.

Given that he's KGB/FSB, one can only assume that this is something they do.

KGB people were still in charge

They still are.

Unfortunately, current ******* chimpout shows that NATO stays as relevant as ever

If anything, it or its successor will become more relevant.

A sad indictment of r*SSia that some of the most stable and democratic societies in the world feel the need to organise against that threat.

Food / Methods of cooking Klopsiki? [11]

nothing to do with Polish cuisine.

I see Dziugas cheese, a good alternative to Parmesan, used a lot in restaurants in Warsaw now.

With klopsiki (I did some last week) grated cheddar is a better option. Not traditional either (like grated onion, used in Ukraine but not Poland) however both improve them.

... if you like this kind of thing.

I saw some of the rehearsals by the Citadel. It should be worth watching.

It will be overshadowed though by today's events in Alaska. Sending Trup to negotiate alone with Putler is like sending a piñata to negotiate with a cricket bat.

Travel / Holidays in Poland, is it still worth coming here? [21]

Last June we spent four hours walking along it and saw five other people.

We spent our summer holiday this year in Scarborough. There were more than 5 people on the beach...

About Poland, Krakow has been spoilt by over tourism, however Torun and Lublin are very worth a visit.

It's no different from the Cargo Pants incident

It's very different.

Deepak was covered in shıt whereas Jim is full of shıt.

radiomaryja

Is that trash still going?

hmmmm.... how to put this....

His wife... received a bag of potatoes

Whatever did he expect.

Apparently now on their telegram channel they're asking the US government for help

As if they can do anything...

@Novi

If they are, they'll have seen his posts.

Let's just remember him on his anniversary. He's at rest now.
