News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


You see, that's what I'm talking about. Difficult words. And then you're surprised people don't reply to your posts.


Quite right.

Our Persian friends, however, would seem to have chosen the side of God's eschatological enemies in the final battle of Armageddon. This is not a wise choice. Not wise at all. Luckily, not all is lost and if our man Bibi Netanyahu can pull off this regime change operation, a lot of new options and opportunities may open. Поживём - увидим, as our dear Russian brothers say.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]

@Bobko

I'm not old enough to remember that but my Dad used to tell me how in 1967 and in 1973 the entire Poland (well, not the troglodytes but the entire thinking Poland - people that matter) were celebrating because "our Jews were f*cking up their Arabs". There is a bit of this elation in the air these days too, only this time our Jews are f*cking up your Persians.

Well, of course, things are a bit more complicated than that - majority of the current generation of Tzahal and intelligence services have their roots in Russia, not in Poland, but they had good masters who taught them well. They fight the good fight.

Your posts are too long, too complicated, and they contain difficult words.

You keep insulting Europeans generally and Poles specifically, not to mention members of LGBT community, so you are in no position to lecture people about avoiding insults. Say what you want and deal with the response--that's what internet boards are all about.

I would prefer if you kept posting on issues that you have something interesting and valuable to say about, like abortion, and refrained from posting about issues you don't understand, like European history, but it's not such a big problem for me. People have been talking nonsense online ever since the Internet was invented.


They are wrong about the former - you are not a moron (well, not technically anyway), and might have a valid point on the latter (all your attacks on Poland and Polishness are, frankly, despicable considering your ethnic background). However, at your age it is not very likely that you will either become more civil or repent of your treason, so f*ck it, we don't have to love each other as long we are at least moderately fair in our online discussions.

Sorry but it's an unreasonable condition. If Novi's behavior merits a warning or a ban, he will be warned or banned no doubt. Until then he has the same rights as any other member.

The forum is moderated very liberally, that's true, but the same rules apply to all users and maybe we should appreciate the freedom of speech that we have here a little bit more.

Has Poland or any of those countries threatened to level Tel-Aviv to the ground?


Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons and hopefully they will never have them. States under Islamic sharia law who have explicitly expressed their genocidal intentions should not be allowed to have weapons of mass destruction.

As for Israel, if a country is surrounded by enemies who want to slaughter them - not just defeat their armies but murder the civilians as well - then they have full right to do anything not to let that happen. Iran's highest authorities explicitly stated that they would "destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa" and "wipe Israel off the map", so they shouldn't act surprised or shocked when Israel uses any means possible to destroy their nuclear program and change their murderous regime.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


And yet, unlike Iran, they don't threaten any country to use those weapons against them.

Because it's not really just Persia. The wise Shah knew it and wanted the name to express more broader, more inclusive national identity.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]



I'm afraid Polish public opinion is divided on the matter.

People are indeed tired with the eternal trouble in the Middle East, but I am quite sure that those who give it a moment of thoughtful consideration can see that Israel really had no other option but to do whatever it takes to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The fact that they would like to force a government change in Iran is quite understandable too. Israel's in a zugzwang, their every move is pretty much forced.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


Yes they are and yes they have.

They are, however, also a totalitarian theocratic regime that enforces Islamic Sharia law in public and private life, especially for women, and suppresses any form of dissent - critics, journalists, activists, and protesters are regularly imprisoned, tortured, or executed. This totalitarian regime has directly and openly stated its aim of destroying Israel. So what was Israel supposed to do? Wait until Iran gets nukes and destroys them? Israel is a very courageous nation that has the guts to stand up against this tyrannical regime and stop them before they get the weapons of mass destruction. When somebody wants to destroy you, you have a commandment to destroy them first, and that's what Israel is doing.


But, Ryszard, you have spent the last three years explaining to everyone that Russia is not the aggressor, and that they only made a preemptive strike because NATO was encroaching on them. So make up your mind - is a nation entitled to a preemptive strike if it believes it's for their own survival or not?

Wow, this really escalated from my post #271.

I only mentioned Novi tongue in cheek - saying that a board that he will join won't know what hit them. I am all for freedom of speech, even if it means freedom to be an arsehole sometimes (and I'm not a saint myself either).

What I wanted to achieve was to remind and maybe encourage more people to chip in for PF, the place that has been our digital meeting place for many years now, but I can see that the donation counter is still at $1710, so it looks like I failed successfully.

If only 20 people gave measly ten bucks every month, we would have the bloody $2400 in a year. We don't have it, so we are either a bunch of miserly pr*cks, Bangladeshi shoe salesmen or we just don't care about the place that much - take your pick.

Well, you can love it for two weeks more. We are about $700 short of the sum required to keep PF alive, so in two weeks time it's bye bye. Enjoy the remaining two weeks folks, it was all nice while it lasted. Meanwhile, search the internet for other forums to troll. I already pity the board that Novichok joins--they won't know what hit them. xD

Of course it is not bad in German eyes. For Poles however, Germans and Russians getting cozy over our heads is not only wind in the eyes but also rupture in the hearts and pain in the butts. Keep that in mind, bitte.

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [495]


You already had the EU. Before the war EU's core, with Germany at the forefront, was eating out of your hand. All you had to do was calm Poland's fears and somehow include her (i.e. Central Europe) in your plans, and the alliance of sorts was quite possible. However, and perhaps to some extent understandably, Russia never treated Poland as a serious player. You saw us in a similar way as we saw Samo... erm, Lithuania, and that fueled firstly a moderate Russophobia and secondly a distrust of Germany (Nord Stream, talking to Russia over our heads). The war helped Americans to push Russia out of Europe in both economic and political terms and I can't see how this might realistically change in the foreseeable future.

So, all things considered, Putin - as brilliant, psychopathic and honourable as he is - made a mistake with his Ukrainian affair. A terrible mistake.


But you support AfD, Le Pen and Orban - forces that actively oppose centralization of the EU. 5D chess?


Right. I should have read it until the end before responding. :)

As usual.


Can we exchange it for some nukes? Or at least a couple of million of small military drones?

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [495]


You would if your страна demanded it from you, and I wouldn't hold it against you for a moment. I also know that later you would shoot yourself like Blokhin, and it would make me very sad in Heaven.

*high five*


Yes, having their faces broken by their superior usually serves to rectify most soldiers' behaviour; a useful tip for every army officer to keep in mind. As for there being more decent men than beasts on both sides in Ukraine - I have no doubt at all about it.


Ah, the classic Pope card! But you played it too soon, Paulina. Save if for when Poland really needs a miracle.

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [495]


Why take over? Maybe they want to buy some? Or exchange for nukes?

Notice that before "we see Yeltsin differently" I wrote "in Poland".

But thank you for giving us an example of how Yeltsin is perceived in Grand Rapids, USA.

A decent enemy is perhaps better than a false friend.

... and if we were in place of Russians, would we be that much different?

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [495]


In Poland we see Yeltsin differently than most Russian politicians. It is a figure we think of with a lot of sympathy.

Most simple people believe that Wałęsa drank him into agreeing to withdraw Soviet troops from Poland and giving permission for Poland to join NATO. Not true, of course, but a lovely Slavic legend.

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [495]


You really are a bad judge of character, Paulina.

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [495]


I will say one thing on this topic: if a real war (not a sad circus like the one in Ukraine) plagues the world in the future, and the fate of countries, nations and the world hangs on a very thin thread once again... it would be criminal, unforgivable and tragic if Slavic nations fought against one another. There is not that many (and fewer every year) of us remaining in this world, let's not slaughter our dear Mother Slavia with our own dirty and sinful hands. Maybe we still have enough of what Paulina calls "moral spine" not to let that happen? Here's hoping.


An honourable deed, no doubt.

The secret of man's heart and soul is a veritable mystery indeed.


Guilty as charged. Serce nie sługa. I love Poland more though.

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [495]


From your description dobri brat Vladimir sounds like a proper statesman, villain, psychopath and genius. Perhaps not the easiest combination of traits to deal with but, as late Pope Francis used to say, who are we to judge?

You made several very good points about the system of power in Russia being built on Putin and about the understanding between different camps of power. We used to have something similar in Poland not that long ago (wy nie ruszacie naszych, my nie ruszamy waszych) but it changed with Tusk's return to power in 2023 when he started to act a bit like a rabid dog.

One way or another, as good strategists (amateur but still), we have to remain vigilant and open for different variants of future events, without presupposed answers and solutions, prejudices and hatred in our hearts.

Which means that 30% of Russians don't dislike Poland--a solid base to start building from if such need arises.

Besides, don't be a naive male version of Paulina. People can be taught to love or hate, it happens all the time. Some Yezhovs, Trotskys and Zinovievs will be airbrushed out of official photos, some will be photoshopped in; some monuments will be razed, some will be fixed or raised again; some talented writers and film makers will be given generous subsidies and state-honours, and the 30% in both countries will become 90% (perhaps 95% if all goes well).

Stop being such damn kids.


That's what I'm talking about! For the good of one's country, Slavia and the world in general, certain views may be reconsidered and necessary changes applied.
