News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]


That's not true.

Even after half the population left, and the economy stopped working... Ukraine still consumes 19 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year.

There is still a deficit.

At one point Ukraine was our number one customer. As recently as 2005 they consumed more than 70 billion cubic meters a year.

Back then they had one of the largest steel industries in the world, and lots of other large industrial enterprises which still worked.

Not a big loss, however, because the assh0les never paid in full, and instead stole a large part of the shipments.

2018 represents an absolutely fresh product, you baboon.

This is not the new model of the Ford Fiesta or Mercedes C-Klasse.

America has been preparing the replacement for the Minutemen missiles for approximately 40 years.

A missile that has components from 2018 is an absolutely new weapon.

How come this Ironside guy can understand this fact, even though his country - Poland - has not yet been invaded, but Ukrainian elected officials who are in a war still cannot grasp this truth?

Everybody to the West of you, will use your body to absorb the blows.

WW2 happened... a second ago, in historical terms. What did France and Britain do? They waited until their own a*s got roasted.

They don't care about anybody else. Only a stupid Slavic country like Russia, could send men, money, and weapons to places like Angola, Cuba, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, etc expecting nothing in return.

Also, it is a gross violation of Russian sovereignty, when Poles can send each other to Sakhalin over the head of Putin. There are proper protocols and procedures, and these must be followed.

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [604]


People don't get Ireland.

How I make sense of Ireland's foreign policy, is by contrasting them with the other neutral people - Austrians, Swiss, Turkmenistanis (haha).

Austrians are traumatized and greedy. They don't take any firm moral stances on anything, and are second only to Switzerland in the number of murky people they allow to live and earn money in Vienna. This prevents Austria from being very credible when challenging world powers.

Swiss are immoral and greedy. They have no morals. They only like money. This also prevents Switzerland from being very credible when challenging world powers.

Turkmens are simply freaks. They love their horses, and their gas, and they don't care about anything or anyone else. They never criticize anyone, and never involve themselves with anything.

Irish are very curious. The first time I remember thinking about this was when there was controversy around the Americans refueling at Shannon Airport during the War on Terror. I was very surprised that this little country was standing up to the US. I had to read up a bit, and then had the pleasure of taking some Irish history too. Very quickly:

1) Ireland is a former colony - kinda like Ukraine
2) Ireland has a much, much more populous neighbor, with incomparably more resources.
3) Against the odds, Ireland gained its independent state. But to preserve it, they knew they had to guarantee that Britain would not one day return. The best way to do it? Declare non-bloc status. This is why Ireland is not a member of NATO to this day, or at least I think so.
4) Ireland, like the neutral Austrians, have always been participating in UN missions like Cyprus, Congo, and Lebanon.
5) Ireland is the first country in the world to recognize the PLO.
6) Irish are Catholics. Catholicism can be associated with a million bad things, but its also associated with compassion for the oppressed and justice for the poor. These aren't exactly Protestant (what's mine is mine) values, which are much more suited to hating Palestinians.

Biden meanwhile announced that he will sanction any country that enforces the arrest warrant.

Trump and friends went further...

Lindsey Graham said America will destroy the economies of countries like Canada and the UK if they follow the lead of the ICC.

Quote:

"If you are going to help the ICC as a nation and enforce the arrest warrant against Bibi (Netanyahu) and Gallant... I will put sanctions on you as a nation," Graham said during an interview with Fox News

"You're gonna have to pick the rogue ICC versus America. I'm working with [Senator] Tom Cotton to pass legislation as soon as possible to sanction any country that aids or abets the arrest of any politician in Israel. What they're doing in Israel is trying to prevent a second Holocaust. So, to any ally-Canada, Britain, Germany, France-if you try to help the ICC, we're gonna sanction you," he said.

When asked about the penalty, Graham responded: "We should crush your economy because we're next...Why can't they go after Trump or any other American president?"

Glorious isn't it?

These idiots bent over backwards for the US. Closed their own pipelines, ruining their economies in the process. Despite being reluctant to do so, enforced a series of draconian sanctions packages against Russia. Suffer Russian sabotage attacks on their territory... and all so that in the end their best buddy America can "crush their economies" over following the letter of a law that was ratified by all their parliaments.

America is p*sing in Europe's face, and Europe is grateful. Pathetic losers.

Kind of weak operational security on Satan's part, if even Johnny Reb is clued in.

I thought the whole point of Satan is that he is very clever and sneaky.

A YouTube manual on how to deal with him seems suspicious.

My favorite mention of Satan is in the opening of the Book of Job, where he is presented as a completely normal guy, until an unhinged God decides he wants to gamble. This gambling addicted God throws poor Job under the train:

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job.

Hahaha. Poor Job.

I wonder if there can be a Christian religious revival even in the year 3024?

When we are colonizing other planets, live for hundreds of years, never get sick, and understand how every single little thing works from the subatomic level to the universal - will there still be people who get energized by the idea that a man living three thousand years ago on Earth had died for their sins?

The last two thousand years seem to suggest that no amount of progress in knowledge can destroy superstition.

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [148]


You are absolutely correct in that it ebbs and flows. However, you are wrong when you say it matters for little. It's hugely consequential.

In America, you had the Great Awakenings. The Second Awakening, lasting for several decades in the early 1800s, birthed a bunch of new religions: Adventism, Dispensationalism, and the Latter Day Saints among others. There was also a Third Awakening, and then some smaller level spikes.

In the Middle East it is the same - where in the early 20th century you had powerful secularist movements driven by Pan-Arabists and modernizers - but then later a great religious awakening again, driven by the early Muslim Brotherhood.

In Russia, you had an explosion of religiosity starting in the late 1990s. Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, all types of Baptists, and others were making hay in Russia. Thousands of Orthodox churches were restored.

The American Great Awakening was a reaction to the rationalism and deism that dominated the American Enlightenment through the Revolutionary period.

The Arab religious awakening was a reaction to the corruption and incompetence of the nationalists and modernizers, which failed to produce the promised results.

The Russian awakening was the filling of a spiritual vacuum in a collapsing state.

Religion has an annoying tendency to come back, just when you thought it was dead.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]

Here's an investment tip for you Ukraine lovers - buy Ukrainian war bonds.

Specifically, buy Ukrainian GDP warrants. Explainer can be found here:

reuters.com/world/europe/how-do-ukraines-gdp-linked-warrants-work-why-do-they-matter-2024-09-11/

But in a nutshell, these benefit Ukraine to the extent that they don't demand much servicing while Ukraine is down on its knees. However, if Ukraine grows back beyond the level at which it was when they were issued, then you get a share of all Ukrainian economic growth above that threshold.

If you are optimistic about Ukraine, this is the best opportunity to put your money where your mouth is.

If Ukraine wins the war, joins the EU, and has oceans of money invested into its reconstruction - you could earn more on this, than any other play in the market.

Speaking of the ECHR, guess what country is in the top 3? That is, top 3 in terms of how many times their citizens complained to the European Court of Human Rights?

Ukraine!

Number 1 is Turkey (not sure what they are even doing in this organization), and number 2 is of course my beloved Russia.

Poland is number 7. The UK doesn't even appear on the list.

Considering that Poland has a population 4X smaller than Russia's, then on a per capita basis it seems Poles human rights are violated only slightly less often than those of Russians ;)

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [168]


If anything I defended Britain here, saying you will find no overt evidence of anti-Polish discrimination by businesses.


Google and ChatGPT are your friends!

However, because I love and respect you so very much, here it is:

1.Equality Act 2010: This law prohibits discrimination on the basis of several "protected characteristics," including race and nationality. The part of the sign targeting "Poles" would amount to racial and national origin discrimination, which is illegal in providing services, including in public spaces. Discrimination against people based on their nationality or ethnicity is considered unlawful in the UK.

2.The Race Relations Act 1976 (now largely absorbed into the Equality Act): It previously governed racial discrimination and would have similarly made this practice illegal.

3.European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) (incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998): The anti-Polish sign would violate principles of the ECHR, particularly Article 14, which prohibits discrimination on grounds such as race, ethnicity, or nationality.

So... at least since 1976 you can't have a sign that says "NO POLES".


Are you purposefully being thick? That's like 25% of this forum.

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [168]


Why?

First, it's illegal. It violates the European Convention on Human Rights, and probably many UK laws.

Times have changed.

In the time period when you could see "No Irish" signs, it was not illegal.

I think even in Myanmar, today, you can't put up a sign saying "No Poles".

So, you won't find what you are searching for. Also, again, why are you searching for this? Is this forum not enough, where you can find probably 1,000 pages of Brits complaining about Poles in their country?

Who needs signs when there is a whole ocean of hatred on the internet?
