At the moment they are our largest trade partner

So what? Their economy has been in ruin since the Russian war. Going down the recession path and their set 'green' policies do not help. What is going to happen if you let them? They will drag Poland's economy down with them just to maintain the current level of living for Germans in Germany. I don't see, how that would benefit Poland and Poles.

----

European funds

You keep talking about those funds. We don't need those funds as they are attached to such conditions that are not beneficial for Poland's economy (100% not a romantic argument, I don't see anything in my pots that you imply is there, it is rather you are 60% delusional eh?).

What would benefit us more would be equal and open access to the European market and as you can see as soon as the Polish companies took advantage of it and grew to outcompete in a free market condition their French and German counterparts the respective governments of those countries pulled their string in the EU Brussels TO IMPOSE not market limitations and rules to undercut our Polish companies. Why would they do it? Are they romantic?

Torq instead of being a delusional pen pusher you should just pay more attention to the real world.
---
If that is the reality of the EU and as Jon notices it is us not them, we should make our stand and not let them walk all over us like they would do if you let them one example of that I have presented you on a silver platter. (a civil war is often more vicious than any other conflict).

There is a pattern and rhythm and a way of negation and dealing, and if you start with hey - we must give up in the end because of this or that! Who is going to take you seriously and what negotiation power do you have? None, you can use a lot of oxygen talking some slogans about friendship and cooperation and compromise but that all means nothing, and in the real world means you were a weak, stupid whiny b'tyh that can be taken for everything she got!

Got it? I mean you are not stupid, why are you so obtuse?
---

In real life, however, there are many shades of grey between these two extremes.

Look in real life there are indeed different shades and complexities but in case you encounter sh'tt it doesn't matter what kind of grey it is, you will know by its texture and smell and its chemical content what it is.

So, slogans about middle ground, compromise need and reality, and this or that don't mean anything unless you see them properly in the context, and that seems to me you have a bigger problem with the backward context of issues that we talk about.

Some with Tusk? Who in his right mind would be content with Tusk, he is outright dangerous to the Polish interests, whereas JK is annoying and harmful in many ways to the Polish interests but to a lesser degree than Tusk, that one is obvious.

Unfortunately, there is no major power in Poland that could be trusted completely...

positivists and romanticists.

Tusk as a viable choice of what? lol! Dude stop gaslighting me or yourself he and his crew have nothing to offer, I have given him the opportunity to change my mind and the first few weeks of his government told me more than I need to know.

I'm judging him by performance and Poland's interests, not some sentimental crap.

h, have we swapped places with Portugal?

I don't know what you are talking about. Do you mean that we should just lie down and be a doormat? Because that is the only way politics nobody would have any issues with us.

At the moment they are our largest trade partner and the EU is on the brink of unblocking our KPO and structural funds (a part of it was transferred already).

Torq, you are a good dude in the sense you are a clever one but you are so naive as to the way of the world and especially the way the politicians work that ... It surprised me. You talk a good talk but when it comes to reality, not so much.

First of all, KPO is going to be on the brink for a very long time and is not that important, whole structure is more harmful than helpful to the Polish economy.

Structural funds, withheld illegally and spitefully by the EU are not important either, as they are telling Poland what to spend it on.
Tusk he buying support, giving a huge pay rise to the police and other people in administration, where is he going to take that money from, planned strategic investment into infrastructure, we are talking about the dude who stole OFE (or what it) and hasn't even bat an eye.

Next, are you telling me that the best way to have a good relationship with Germany is by doing everything they ask? Well, PiS was doing it with Ukraine and more, so how come our relationship is not a big love affair?

Maybe because politics does not work that way? eh?
Poland needs to take a stand and defend its vital interests whether someone likes it or not, I bet there are plenty of those who would rather prosper 't Poland's expense and greed is a powerful motivator but being a doormat that everybody walks over with easy doesn't constitute a good friendly foegin policy.

Do I have to explain it to you?
Germany has an issue with PiS for a few reasons - first, they didn't listen to them as much as they would have liked to, and they presented a more conservative face (while the German elite is liberal) Their investment into infrastructure in Poland would provide prosperity and growth for the Polish economy and German elites do not like to see Poland growing too much.

That is hardly "cashing in",

Promising them military presence and selling them German military equipment is cashing in political promises, you better deliver and don't try to shift the burden onto Poland.

hat Poland may want to make a large effort to defend them, I

As a part of NATO and not necessarily by sending troops there.

Not only weapons but also opened a line of credit

What credit? Who is going to pay for it and how much? It says credit but I don't believe it! At the very least they should pawn our art gallery from Lwow.

It is not we have spare equipment.

Do not underestimate the Germans, Iron.

I don't but they are ruled by schizophrenics, On the one hand, they want a nice little colony and take Poland for everything she has on the other they expect we are going to field an army big enough to defeat Russia. They can't have both at the same time, if they undercut us economically we won't be able to field that army. Simple!

He just sent some more Polish equipment To Ukraine for free! So, how he is better?

The United States of America are likely to go into splendid isolation (or at least a form of it)*.

They won't!
Also, Germany is in no position to help Poland even if for a moment t we would assume that they would like to.
Tusk is not in any policy I know of better than PiS and quite a few are even worse, we talked about it, and you told me to wait and see, well I can see.

Germany and the EU like Tusk and his cronies because he bends backwood for them and lets Poland be F without soap.

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [401]

I am interested in genealogy and where my family MAY have come from prior to arriving in Poland.

Good for you. It is not a website where you can get an answer to your question.

What a strange opinion to have in a topic about this exact question.

I would say it is an honest and helpful opinion. It lets you know that the chances you will get some specific information are almost nonexistent and if you want to find some answers you need to look up Polish websites and specialists providing such services.

War seems insane.

I find it insane on two accounts:
1, Comparing Russia to the US, is like comparing apples and oranges.
2, the level of delusion in Russia as to their standing in the world.

That is pure speculation and conjunctions as nothing beside it. To prove some correlation in the case of someone who is a certified loon you need to have more. All you have is direct hate propaganda and lies of dirty little PO supporters with their rotten souls and small lizard brains.

Do you have a specific charge or just generalized dislike?

You just don't listen, do you? closing all strategic projects like CPL, the harbor in Szczecin, and nuclear power plant, and so on.

PiS began that game

No, you seem to be unaware, PiS was only doing what has been done in the US all the time bending the rules, while Tusk just broke them breaking the law openly.

PiS should

I am sick and tired of PiS but it doesn't mean I'm happy about those crooks and morons that are in charge now, including big fat traitor on the helm and semi-criminal mugs that support him. Neither breaking the constitution, legal procedures and the law is not something that one should be happy about.

I guess, it opens the way in the future to clean Poland right one way or the other as anything goes.

the task to field a large part of the conventional forces

It doesn't mean Poland has to send troops into the Baltic. Germany promised them troops and is already cashing in for it. I only say they should deliver on their promises and stop asking Poland to take it over from them.

PiS gangsters had their dirty hands in that murder.

What BS is that? First of all, he was at war with his people at the time (PO). Second of all responsibility for the security by the law belonged to Owsiak.

He is directly responsible.
Blaming it on PiS is a rotten lie.

News / How will Poland be affected by WW3 which has now started [559]

but Poland and the Baltics need to be prepared to shoulder at least 50% of the required manpower.

I don't think that Poland taking the burden of defending the Baltic is a fair proposition. Germany already made a lot of promises to them and is selling them their tanks, taking most of the money upfront and political favors it would be best if Germany lived up to their promise and put up a strong military presence in the Baltic in times of need.

Seems to be Germany is keen on grabbing and consuming all possible benefits while shrinking from their duties and trying to shift others - on Poland this time. No can do!

So therefore an actual noble rather just szlachta.

. Do you know what the real difference was between what you term a noble and szlachta? Money.
