Tell me about it.

That's exactly what a certain lovely Khrystyna was explaining to me passionately: that they never invaded anyone, never hurt anyone, were only fighting invaders in their lands, and only defending what was always theirs. And you know what... she had a brother on the frontline, was in a foreign country, and had some Polish girls being not exactly nice to her at work (envy!)... and I - the stalwart Kania, the Polish-to-the-core Torq, the anti-banderist legend of Gdańsk and beyond... I had no heart to argue with her and prove her wrong.

I am such a wimp in the real life. :(

Hmm... debatable.

The Arabic language somehow magically clings to your memory once you memorize something in it. I still remember some prayers (for various occasions) that Ahmed taught me about 20 years ago, and I suppose praying 5 times a day, at set times, with all those regular movements and rhytmic incantations, can properly affect your brain as well. Not to mention that Muslims have some top class and highly intelligent preachers (Khalid Yasin, Ali Hammuda, Mufti Menk, Hamza Yusuf, Hakim Murad - to name just a few).

I don't especially like Islam and Muslim immigrants in Europe (self preservation instinct, I guess) but one has to admit that they do what God ordered us to do - be fruitful and multiply. So, maybe they are right and we are wrong... may Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) have mercy on me if that's the case.


Safety vent :)

These days there probably aren't that many Jews in Ukraine, and Russians are too similar to Ukrainians to make genuine hatred possible, so I suppose we are on the top of the hate list today. Oh, well... it's nice to the number one at something, I guess.

I'm not a big fan of Muslims.

When I lived in Dublin, I met a guy called Ahmed who was running a local Internet cafe; he was the funnies c*nt in the universe and we got on legendarily well. Then, I joined this Turkish forum (aaaaah... memories...) - it was a difficult love but a love nonetheless. :)

I used to be a bit of a German-sceptic too... then I met BB :) Russians, of course, were the legendary Mongols from the East our grandmothers used to scare us with... then I met this guy Yuri from Klin (and, of course, Bobi and Veli later). :)

Hm... maybe Internet is not such a tool of Satan as some people depict it. ;)

A rather ungentlemanly thing to do, but that would mean that their daughters, long time ago, were already half-Germanic, half-Slavic; and as we know from history the Germanic husbands came back with a vengeance (more than once!) and planted their seed, so it all mixed again. So, Slavs fought back and... etc. etc. etc.

Of course, Mongols, who are not Slavic, and Turks rolled over our lands more than once too. Some Tatars even stayed permanently. We mixed our dynasties (and genes) with the Balts as well (the whole Jagiellon dynasty). Swedes did their part, and we had throngs of Italian and Dutch settlers. Jews were always a closed community... but not THAT closed; in Austrian partition all sorts of mixing was going on... and so on.

To talk about nations today in terms of genetics would seem to be slightly retarded.

What? Wait a minute... so Poles are Germanic from our mums' side?

So, I now have to switch from pan-Slavism to pan-Germanism?

What about Serbians? Are they Germanic too? Where is Crow when we need him?

Sure, I know that. But still - that's about 20 bucks a month per capita, whilst Polish GDP is $26,810 (nominal) and $55,190 (PPP).

Don't get me wrong, BB, the money was very useful, especially in the first phase of the transformation; but the way Poland looks today is the result of millions of Poles working their arses off in two (sometimes three) jobs, doing overtime, creating their businesses, going abroad and sending money home, saving, investing and building a better and richer Poland for our children. That's why it annoys me when somebody (not only Ukrainians) makes it sound like Poland got rich only because EU flooded us with money.

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


Damn it, I just realised that €170 billion divided by 40 million Poles is about 4200 euro... divided by 20 years is 212,5 euros!
So, every Pole got about 213 euros a year, for 20 years from the EU. That's about 18 euros a month!!!

18 f*cking hard-cash euros a month - that would be enough to pay for using PF! ($20 seems to be an average contribution).

Hmm... maybe those Ukrainians are right. Maybe it was the EU money that made us so stinking rich today! :)

I suppose it's because he killed the legend.

The legend of freedom and democracy and noble American knights fighting for it. The legend of the USA standing up for everything good against everything evil. The legend of common values of the Western World being more important than money or current political gains.

He is the guy who came into a room full of kids and said: "There is no Santa Claus, you little retards!".

Hence the hatred, I suppose. Nobody like when his legends are killed.

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


Oh, I would. Right away.

There is no such thing as free money - there are always strings attached. Wealth is built by hard work, thrift and discipline, not by handouts. Polish politicians, however, are much more easily bribed than I am. Alas.

Southpark is not a European TV series.

That's a bit harsh on President Trump.

Not as harsh as the recent Southpark episode, but still.

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


That's just retarded.


By practically building their entire heavy industry and gifting them lands that never belonged to Ukraine in the past?


In 20 years (2004-2024) Poland received about €260 billion from the EU, mostly in EU Cohesion Policy and Common Agricultural Policy. We paid about €90 billion in member-state contributions, so our net gain is €170 billion. It is about 16% of our current GDP, divided by 20 years gives around 0.8% of GDP every year. A nice money, for sure - every little helps - but to say that Polish success is the result of this 0.8% would be to overlook the remaining 99.2%. :)


I am stealing this phrase to use it in my future discussions with Ukrainians.

A correction here: it was Ukrainian Schutzmannschaft Bataillon der Sicherheitspolizei and a Ukrainian police company, not Galizien units.


You do not "discuss". You pray, you ask for her wisdom and humility in accepting God's will, and you offer your services as her knight and slave.


Colour me unsurprised. We are the perfect scape-goat. I said it a long time ago - if Ukrainians lose against Russia, they will somehow find a way to blame Poland for it.

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


A pessimistic cynic? Hmm...

In 1965, Marek Hłasko - a famous Polish writer - wrote how in 1944 in Warsaw he saw six Ukrainians rape a Polish girl (Hłasko's neighbour from the same house) and then use a teaspoon to extract her eyes, while all the time laughing and making jokes. Even German historians (e.g. Guenther Deschner), investigating the participation of Ukrainian units (including 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS - Galizien) in suppressing the Warsaw Uprising, were shocked by the bestiality displayed by the Ukrainians. Today, the same Waffen-SS unit is celebrated in Ukraine and considered heroes.

Ask me again if I am a pessimistic cynic.

It depends how we define "win". From the Polish point of view, a minor Russian victory would probably be a slightly better option.

A minor Russian victory might (just might) postpone the beginning of World War 3 a bit, and a weakened 20-22 million Ukraine, without their most industrialised areas and natural riches, and with limited access to the sea could be invited to join the EU. Such Ukraine could even continue worshipping their Waffen-SS heroes and murderous UPA banderists. They would still be retarded but at least would cease to be a threat to Poland.

As for Russia, they were our enemy for most of our history, they are our enemy now, and will continue to be one in the foreseeable future, so there's no change here. In other words, a minor Russian victory would mean one threat to Poland in the east, instead of two threats.

We are partially ourselves to blame here. From the very first day of this war, Polish trains with weapons, ammo and medical aid started rolling through the border, we took in millions of their refugees, granting them social benefits, kindergeld, free healthcare on all levels and education, we provided them with Starlinks, fuel, electricity etc. We kept saying that Ukraine is fighting for Poland, that we would do everything for them, that we are servants of Ukrainians and so on. So, they got used to it and started taking it for granted.

We should have adopted the early German and then Hungarian/Slovakian stance from the very beginning. Ah, well...

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


Chill out, Grunni. All we have to do is adopt a more Hungarian-Slovakian approach towards the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, and it will happen after 2027 elections. Until then, we have to grin and bear it.


Of course they are. Just like Germany still worshipping Hitler, Himmler and Heydrich would be a threat to us, so Ukraine openly worshipping Bandera, Shukhevych, Klyachkivsky etc. is a threat to us. That's why we have to elect to power politicians who can clearly see it, and currently only Konfederacja displays a certain dose of healthy realism towards the Ukrainian issue.

I already told you a month ago - Zelensky decided that Ukraine will export military technology and will cooperate in weapons production with: Denmark, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Norway and even Lithuania.

Poland, as you can see, is not on that list. However, Poland is welcome to contribute 0.25% of Polish GDP to Ukrainian defense sector...

... they spit in Tusk's face and he says it's raining.

Ukrainian politicians said on multiple occasions that they view Poland as a competitor in many fields and their actions only confirm their words. It is our retarded politicians who refuse to listen to what they hear, and expect that Ukraine will show gratitude (lol) to Poland for everything we did for them.

Is there really much worse than shooting your own wounded soldiers? Much worse than waging a brotherly war for 3 years already and without end in sight? Much worse than becoming a de facto Chinese vassal, dependent on Iran and North Korea for war materials supplies?

Come on, Bobi. Russia is better than that. The best (and the first!) thing to do when you want to get out of a deep hole is to stop digging. Sorry for stating the obvious.

Ukrainian population in 2022, right before the Russian invasion, was 41.5 million. Today optimists say 32 million, realists say 24.


No. Ukrainians are simply not added to the Polish population statistics. They are considered war refugees who will go back to their country after the war is over (lol!).
The population of Gdańsk in 2022 was 486,000...

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludno%C5%9B%C4%87_Gda%C5%84ska

... well over 100,000 Ukrainians live in Gdańsk, some sources even estimate that every fourth inhabitant of our city is Ukrainian. What is the official population of Gdańsk these days? Wait for it... 488,000. :D Lies, great lies, statistics.


Tusk is history. In two years Kaczynski will come back (with Mentzen and Bosak as his sidekicks). It's going to be fun.
