Life / Territorials - Polish National Guard [57]

The Russian invasion of a European country increased the popularity of Territorials in the society.



CNN's Kaitlan Collins reports from a military base in Warsaw, Poland, where civilians are learning to become soldiers. A banker, a high school student, and an aspiring opera singer are among dozens dressed in military uniform, practicing their shooting stance, working through tactical drills, and learning how to communicate on a battlefield.

Not only. I just checked and the US has similar laws and fines for drivers who break them. Johhny probably moved to Jamaica as he promised that he doesn`t know about it. :):):)

Huge transports come from Belarus. Or used to come coz a major border crossing was closed.

Yes,. but the driving license is a document which regulates what you need to wear. Poland is a country based on law, contrary to wild west and east US where guns decide who is right.

Quite correctly coz it would be a wrong move. But you alluded to Gefreiter Kania and I felt the need to correct your false assumption when you said

people posting here celebrating the Polish purchase and manufacturing of arms and ammunition are preaching about gun control

coz Kania supports the private ownership of guns.


I only follow your own style of debate. hahahaha Hope you don`t mind that I copy it from you - you are my role model. hahahahaha

That`s what corrupt pedo clergy want to instill in morons` minds. However, their efforts are more and more futile.

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [402]


I have never heard it used in real life or in historical books or literature.

Snowid - Old Polish masculine name , composed of the elements Sno- ("sleep") and -wid ("to see"). So it can mean "the one who sees dreams".


No sources for it as a first name. It only functioned in surnames, e.g, Poniatowski.

You are wrong. I don`t want to say "again" not to hurt you, but it looks like that. Sorry. ASAIK, Kania is against individual arm control.

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]

The American Congress approved the purchase of almost 500 HIMARS launchers with ammunition by Poland. This is an approval of the recommendation issued by the DSCA agency in early February. Thanks to this, through the American Department of Defense, we will be able to buy a large amount of equipment in the United States:

18 complete M142 HIMARS launchers on Oshkosh chassis
468 HIMARS launchers for installation on Polish made vehicles ( Jelcz platform)
45 long-range ATACMS missiles
461 containers with M30A2 (GMLRS-AW) rockets, 6 rockets each (2,766 pcs.)
521 containers with M31A2 (GMLRS-U) rockets, 6 rockets each (3,126 pcs.)
532 containers with XM403 (GMLRS-ER AW) missiles, 6 missiles each (3,192 pcs.)

The maximum price for such a package has been set at USD 10 billion, but in the course of negotiations we can still beat it. It is also worth being aware that equipment from the list can be purchased for many years, in smaller batches.

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

A few decent Russians dared to protest on the anniversary of Russian invasion. They were immediately detained.

This is an excellent example of the revival of stalinism in Russia. I hope Putinists and imperial Russians do understand why sane nations want to have nothing in common with Russia.

One more reason to prefer Poland to the USA. Here, they smuggle tons of tobacco products. In the US, it is tons of narcotics.

Food / Replace meat with bugs - new trend in Poland [29]


Read the text below.


To be honest, not all of them. PiS chairman`s niece, Marta Kaczyńska, encourages Poles to go for bug diet.

Marta Kaczyńska in her weekly column in the right wing weekly "Sieci" decided to refer to the law in force since January 1, which allows the sale of insects as food in Polish stores. As it turns out, the daughter of the deseased presidential couple considers it an excellent solution and enumerates the benefits of eating worms.

According to Kaczyńska, recognizing edible insects as a component of our menu is a "return to ancient traditions". In addition, their introduction to the market is "meeting the growing demand for food." She points out that although the human population is increasing, "there is not enough land for animal husbandry and plant cultivation". In contrast, " insects are food that does not require much space, food or water to grow. They do not pollute the environment or produce greenhouse gases, as is the case with traditionally farmed animals."

Jarosław Kaczyński's niece enumerated the advantages of recognizing insects as food. These include:

- ease of breeding insects, because they adapt to life in different climatic conditions
- they have less ability to transmit diseases and are edible in 80%
- they are a valuable source of protein and minerals, as well as, for example, omega-3 fatty acids

Kaczyńska, listing various countries where insects are eaten, said: - In such a great variety of "dishes", many people can certainly find something not only healthy, but also tasty. The only barrier is our culture, which for centuries has accustomed us to treat insects as disgusting creatures (...). It is only a matter of time before our Polish palates get used to eating insects, etc. (...) .

Amasing woman!

Go deeper - warning about what exactly?

Food / Replace meat with bugs - new trend in Poland [29]


Actually, we have been eating bugs for decades, as natural carminic acid used to give red colouring to our food.

It is a red glucosidal hydroxyanthrapurin that occurs naturally in some scale insects, such as the cochineal, Armenian cochineal, and Polish cochineal. The insects produce the acid as a deterrent to predators.

History / Poland and Britain started WW2 [356]


That is our vocation to be a human shield. In the past we were the one against the Ottomans. Today Russians took their place. Still, we are beaten by Ukraine by a few laps in terms of shields.
