History / Future of Kaliningrad Oblast - is it possible to annex by Poland or will it become an independent country? [146]


And pictures don't even do it justice - you have to come here and see it for yourself. Walk into the churches and cathedrals, visit the parks and the beaches, breathe the atmosphere of modernity mixed with the past; breathe freedom, because Gdańsk is - in so many ways - a free city.

Can one be in love with a city? Because I think I am. :)

News / Poland to officially demand $1.32 trillion WW2 reparations from Germany [457]


Exactly. Once again something posted from Pawian's account makes sense - has it been hacked? ;)


:D

Are you a German, Pawloff? I mean like truly proper German with full AfD-Germannes?

We have German members here on PF but they are either incorrigible Polonophiles/honorary Poles (Bratwurst Boy) or cultured, educated, well-behaved mainstream Germans (Tacitus). It would be nice to have a proper "alter Kamerad" here with us. Imagine all the potential slanging matches! :)

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]


Hear, hear.

I said that many times in the past. Especially the highest rank, the aristocrats, the magnates - c*nts of the first order. We have them to thank for the partitions.

Ordinary plain szlachta (szaraczki) weren't too bad - it was the top rank that was rotten.


Maybe yours but definitely not Polish in general.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]

That's the problem with internet boards: you can't hear the tone of voice, see the facial expression or body gestures.

Makes communication more difficult, I suppose. ;)

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]


So, what? I'm a Pole - the descendant of the Royal Tribe of Piast, Winged Hussars and Defenders of Wizna. That entitles me to patronise most (if not all) European nations.


Have I ever made a tongue in cheek comment on this board?


Are you seriously saying that Borderlanders, Samogitians or Belarussians are not lesser nations compared to Poles??? Oikophobe! :D

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]

@Ironside

A figure of speech - I consider all the nations of former 1st Rzeczpospolita to be kinda our children, so for example Belarussians or Samogitians too.

Unruly sometimes but Poland has to be a mother and a beacon of civilisation for them. Sort of civilisational centre of gravity towards which all lesser nations should gravitate.

@jon357

There's a tiny minority of idiots everywhere. What I meant was that racism is alien to Polish spirit and soul.

News / Poland to officially demand $1.32 trillion WW2 reparations from Germany [457]


What nonsense!

The Piast territories weren't given to us by the Germans but by the Soviet Union in exchange for the Jagiellonian territories in the east. Nothing to do with German reparations.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]


No, indeed it hasn't.

Still, they are our children (even if retarded and illegitimate). One needs to help one's children. The parental patience, immense as it is, has its limits though, and they would be well advised to keep that in mind.

History / Polish Army Day [82]


Did you hear soldiers complaining? No. Do you know why? Because they realize that one day they might have to fight in even higher temperatures, for even longer, under enemy fire, also in full gear. The same goes for sweet doggies. This is army, people, get a grip.

News / R. Trzaskowski, current mayor of Warsaw, future President of Poland [354]


Thank you, Captain Obvious. :)

Also, Pawian seems to forget that Koalicja Obywatelska supports the rightful demands for reparations from Germany. Mr Trzaskowski's private opinion is of very little value in this matter.


You are a cruel man, Iron. Why would you want to impose such a disaster on the good people of Madagascar? We know how to handle Pawian - better for him to stay here. ;)

Stick to the topic please.

Exactly. "Racist Pole" is basically an oxymoron.

Not necessarily. We got about 2 million mostly young, hard-working Ukrainians and any shortages in labour that still remain are solved by granting thousands of work visas, so we should be all right in the short term.

In the long term, of course, the entire European Union's demographics look rather bleak.

ONR. Before WW2 the original ONR had some very marginal influence but were always plagued with internal conflicts and divisions. It was a fascist movement but oddly enough they had quite a few Jews in their ranks, including the leadership (Mosdorf, Piasecki). They weren't nazi collaborators though - Gestapo hunted them down and many of them (including the two I mentioned) were executed.

Now ONR has a membership of around 1000 and is equally divided as their predecessors were 80 years ago. A strange, chaotic organisation. Zoological curiosity really.

@max321

You should definitely become Poland's foreign minister (if only for the 1200 ICBMs masterplan :D), but realistically at the moment the realtions with Russia will have to be slowly rebuilt, step-by-step, towards a tolerable level of good neighbourhood. And that's, of course, after the war.

... Agrounia will give KO a lot of much needed electoral votes in the countryside.

Is this another nail to Trzecia Droga's coffin? We'll see. One way or another, the campaign has just become even more interesting and the final result of the elections even less predictable.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]


Not that simple.

After all, Russia fought Poland, Serbs fought Croats, Bulgaria fought Serbia etc. The beautiful idea of Pan-Slavism didn't stop inter-slavic wars, just like the idea of United Nations didn't stop wars in general.


I don't see how they could ever say no to that.

Well, considering that France has about 300 and we taught them how to eat with knife and fork, then I suppose you're right - it will be 500. :)

But do you really have to push the neo-marxist cultural revolution agenda at the same time?

Remember that the roots of Europe and of the European Union are Christian. The current generation of Verhofstadts and von der Leyens will soon be gone and the passing anti-Christian fancy will be gone with them.

Pawianos, pawianos, pawianos... you are like a rabid dog in the fog. So confused, so angry, so clueless...

The changes you mention are neither irresistible nor unstoppable. They are predictable and laughable; we have known about them for a very long time. Our Lady has warned us repeatedly and prepared us for them. You cannot win, as it is God Himself, the Sovereign Almighty Lord, that you are up against.

It is Our Lord Jesus Christ, the triumphant Lion of Judah, Domine Deus Omnipotens in cuius manu omnis victoria consistens, whose anger you are bringing upon yourselves.

I was taken aback by the Pope's stance on the SMO. I didn't understand it at first. But I prayed, and I talked to people more experienced and wiser than me. Then it all became evident.

See? I always said that Iron has both brains and balls.

Enough nuclear warheads to make ever invading Poland an unprofitable business and we can definitely be more flexible as far as different political configurations in Europe (from Lisbon to Vladivistok?) are concerned.

Good thinking, Iron.
