Exactly what Jews owe for living in Poland since that royal moron invited them centuries ago and for their criminal activities as the UB and the Soviet agents.

Life / The Pole, as an example of a perfect Russophobe, in a spherical vacuum [42]
And telling the Russians that they are seen in Poland as an enemy in perpetuity is helping Poles how? Poland should do everything that comes naturally to make this relationship as normal as humanly possible without being as fake as it is with Germany.
How about sending a delegation to their May 9 parades? What would be the downside?

Since, as some claim, Jews were Poles, the question is what Poles owe Poles.
A half-Jew, half-Pole, will he pay himself?

Any compensation Poland would pay to the Jewish tribe living in Poland is an internal matter. Israel is not a litigant, has no standing in the matter, does not represent Polish Jews, and should stay out of it.

What I like about flip phones is the sound they make when you are done. Smartphones are so girly. Second, that I don't have to know which way is up when it rings. Just open it and you are good to go. Third, smartphones have to be handled by the edges or they will do something you don't want. I hate it.

What do Polish people think of the Asia and Middle East?
Nobody gives a damn what Polish people think of Asia but the swamp in DC should think about what Xi does. Quoting from
the-sun.com/news/3151814/world-war-3-fear-china-threatens-war-taiwan-independence/
WORLD War 3 fears have risen again after China vowed it will invade Taiwan if it seeks independence as the US Navy flexes its military muscle.
Beijing warned Taiwan today that any move toward gaining independence would mean "war".
Say what you want about China and Xi but it's refreshing to read unambiguous English that does not include "dire consequences", "peaceful measures", or "international opinion" - the language of the Western weasels with their "red lines".

Language / Endearment, friendship, etc. in Polish [38]
It should be avoided in all situations unless you are in that special joking mood, only within the family and when addressing a female if the speaker is a man. When I start a sentence with "my darling..." or equivalent, my wife says, "what do you want now?"
You can call "moj kochany" a stranger.

You are right. It's not. It's how it's used 99% of the time that eventually makes it patronizing. Just as "buddy" here. Or even worse, bud, pal,...
Again, no argument. Here, even fu*ck you, a-holes can be said in terms of endearment if spoken to a group of old friends and in the right voice.
In my opinion as an observer, kochana, darling, and similar are meant to neutralize the negativity of the rest of the sentence since they don't add anything of substance to it, at best, or be a putdown. Using the other person's first name will do fine.
but the word itself isn't patronizing.

English is what you hear on the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news. All others are poor imitations. Some are very irritating - as if they were designed to make them less comprehensible to the lower class outsiders and foreigners. That is why I don't watch British movies.

Joe Biden could trigger 'major war with China' over Taiwan - Pentagon insider breaks cover
That was the title. Down below...
Beijing insists Taiwan is part of its sovereign territory, and has refused to rule out using force to seize the island.
I agree and the sooner, the better for the US.
He added: "We should learn from our history in Southeast Asia and not shed American blood for another lost cause."
This one would be worse than hell. Vietnam is one thing. China is another.
Conclusion:
In his letter Mr Gayl argued the US should "refrain from militarily intervening" in any conflict between China and Taiwan.
But not everything is lost. Taiwan will get full support from this forum and Poland. Moral, of course. The hard stuff, PF posters will happily leave for the US.
My advice for the PF posters: sent Xi some of your thoughts and maybe he will reconsider. Who knows...

I am not claiming that they are comparable. Only to deny the US the right to bi*tch about how unjust and illegal similar events are. Using the Civil War as a reference, every annexation, conquest, and disregard of the "will of the people" is pure bs. Which gives China a license to take Taiwan at any time it wants.
