History / The memory about the Invasion of Poland 1939 - today's events [26]
@pawian
Very true
Polish cavalry at the time (the one on horseback) was mounted infantry. Most of military units at the time consisted of regular infantry (German forces included)
Real Polish cavalry was lead by Gen. Maczek with his tanks, didn't lose a single battle during ww2 if I recall. (They were able to retreat through Hungary and fought on western allies side later on)

Those states fought merely only for their own self interests, many of them being deluded of a shift in power.

First and foremost, what kind of traditions do you have in your family? (Ask this of yourself no need to write it here as it can be private) What kind of ideals are you driven by? What are the ideals you would expect from being part of Polish nobility? There is a general codex of chivalry, while what does it mean to be a Polish noble?

First it's not clan but, ród (clans are a Scottish tradition) :)
If you are merely thinking about culture, I recommend to look up Polish cook books. Check out Vod.pl for films/series maybe they got english subtitles.
Perhaps some native Poles got any suggestions?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]
@Crow
I think Poland should stay in EU as long as possible, Kingdom of Poland formed a proto-EU with Grand Duchy of Lithuania in her time. Why not have this same influence across all European states? Possibly form a Union with Russian Federation if circumstances will allow it. While Russia wouldn't lose any influence being in the Union as it has nuclear arsenal and firepower. It would also strongly counter balance French and German influences.
Vatican's political influence is next to zero in Poland, only the Catholic Clergy in Poland has anything to say politically. On religious matters is a different thing. Anyways, no matter how much pressure it is. Poland will withstand it, Poland might give the false impression of a lap-dog to many :)

I think The Republic of Poland should show AS much solidarity with the population in Belarus, while the Polish citizens take it further then what the state can act. Time to show that «Za naszą i waszą wolność" isn't only said when Poland is in trouble!

Let us not derrail the topic at hand tho, I honestly hope for Belarus to be independent. However, who could provide that for Belarussia? It's people alone? The opposition leader? I have a hard time picturing a women being able to keep Putin at bay

Poland could start military excercises near Belarussian border, start with a media campaign about possibility of war refugees from Belarus (like start preparing your homes for brothers and sisters from Belarus) ask EU for additional funds to start preperations for war refugees from Belarus

Criminal could mean many things back then, one only had to back the wrong political group, then had to flee. Ukraine was the only option for that back then, land of absolute freedom from any state prosecution.
Like... There are loads of Ukrainians going in to Poland now, not Turkey. And those who go to Poland for EU possibilities, seem to settle in Poland regardless. Stable freedom is allways wished for if able to maintain it and being able to adapt to it.
Even tho there are factions in Poland, it's more of a democratic nature then the one in Ukraine with Oligarchs. Oligarchs gotta step up their game!

Considering that communism propaganda (Poles bad pany etc) isn't it strange that Jaruzelski became a general then in a "people's" army?
Almost as if he was fighting for the people and not power hungry communists :)
That is true @pawian
My family is a good example, from Lithuanian side of the family. They worked under Russian Tsarist regime in the administration (Just like the judges family in Pan Tadeusz) but, joined uprisings when called (On Poland's side of course)

Better not to assume anything. Especially on the internet in a heated debate where emotions can easily run high. I try to be a cold as possible dealing with sensitive topics.
As long as it's not on a university level or told by a professor, I always remain fairly skeptical and treat anything on the internet as rumors until proven otherwise
That's how I think
