Hardly racists since they have.

No Arab state has functioned successfully (or managed to keep the electric on all the time) except KSA, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman who pay others to do it.

Dubai and Qatar are quite efficient however they are both minority Arab. Dubai is over 70% Indian.


It's more that they have somewhere else to go. The majority of Israelis are descended from people who fled the MENA region due to pogroms and repression. They are from that region and have nowhere else to go.

What is Israel supposed to do? The two state solution was raped, murdered and dismembered like Hamas' victims on 7/10

Anyway, this thread is about Iran. One of the vilest and most repressive states in the modern world who were making nukes to destroy a democratic country (they have been explicit about this) and have attacked British ships in the Gulf.

If you've got Krone, even though it's fallen a fair bit against sterling, it now seems to be rising again so unless war breaks out soon, autumn might be a good time to visit.

Forget summer. It's jammed with tourists,

The zloty seems to be up and down against sterling. Presumably the same aga8nst other currencies.

He seems to, doesn't he.

There were protests before. Possibly with discreet support from other countries. This may well be the case now.

Snap back.

What evidence do you 'need'? Decades of diplomacy? Google is your friend and ChatGPT is your friend with benefits.


Hence the bombing of the sites where they do it and where their nuclear technicians are.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


Most Israelis have their roots in the MENA region.


This is true, however they are vulnerable to carpet bombing by long range aircraft and as a last resort, if it's very existence is under immediate threat, Israel can nuke Tehran and their other main cities. It's not perfect, since Iran is so vast and empty that the regime leaders can hide anywhere.

Or the opposite.


What did we do?

The Soviet Union was an evil thing. 80 million people through the Gulag system, repeated genocide and constant hunger. There was a reason they had to build a wall to atipnpeople leaving.


All of them?

Do you have any evidence to support your 'suspicion' they haven't.

Do follow world affairs if you're going to comment on them.


True, and there's been talks of different sorts for decades.

Nevertheless, they try to undermine everything and also practise hostage diplomacy.


Programme. And yes, it can be halted very easily (and has). Enriching uranium is slow and not at all easy.

It's not so much about making "a move towards Europe". It's about disrupting energy supply, global suply chains (espcially shipping) and also what they may do with their proxi stooges like the Houthis.


It does. See above. Even if they don't use Iranian oil, any disruption does affect POland.


Israel is part of it, and Iran would (and probably will) attack other western countries' assets and bases. They have already attacked shipping in the straight of Hormuz. If they attack the big UK naval base in Qatar (which also has an American presence) the missiles will start flying.

Not doing so well right now. 5.13 PLN to Sterling. Not that I'm complaining.

That's true, however it's true in life generally. The world is more chaotic than many suppose.


The whole thing has been whipped up for decades, largely by r*SSia in order to create a weeping sore in the Holy Land. Arafat was offered a two-state solution however he refused, at the behest of the Soviet Union and their stooges who promised him weapons. Now, since 7/10, there can be no two-state solution. Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, has only Israel. The Arabs (who care little about the European concept of nation states anyway), have the whole region.


The person who led the RSA nuclear project was a Pole from Poland. I know his son who is elderly now.


Quite. Some of them probably approve of that misogyny.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

We shall decide.

In Europe, we don't want their gun problems.

As a Pole, you should know that.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


True. Nobody's declared war yet.

We forget that this wasn't a preemptive strike since Iran had launched missiles on Iraq days before.

Much as Bibi has crossed the line in Gaza, Iran, a pariah state sworn to destroy his country, can't be allowed to build nukes.


"Whinging"? Being appalled at the atrocities Bucha, Mariupol and elsewhere isn't whinging. And r*SSia is an even bigger dangler to the world than Iran. We should never appease such places. If we'd not shilly shallied dirimgntehnmid/late 30s about Germany, the world would be a very different place now.


It's hard to know if Trup is actually in charge. He lacks the intellectual capacity and is in obviously poor health. For sure he's not running things. My ,only is on Vance, a wicked human being.

With an ouija board?


No stalking, nationality is irrelevant and in any case, ChatGPT does the job nicely. Nobody needs to look further since the AI does it for you. And as far as I'm aware (someone else looked them/you up ) they were not 'arrest records'. They were conviction records and newspaper articles about trials.


You stills are and you admitted it, Given the number of people here that you've tried to doxx and/or cause trouble for in real life, you have no grounds whatsoever if a former member of the forum that you'd tried to hurt in real life does the same to you.

Now stop whining and go for a nice walk.

Yes. The metal is for acoustics.


Almost. It's a wide stage, though not very deep in comparison. Not the widest, Salzburg is three times as wide which can be a problem for them sometimes.

This is both bad and good in a specific way. Bad because it severely limits the co-productions they can do (impossible to transfer anything from or to Covent Garden which has a very deep stage but isn't very wide). Good because it matches well with the stages in Brussels and Cardiff and often shares co-productions that they share as a three.

The width also means it's got good visibility and is great for ballet.

It was revived by the Shah in the twentieth century. What they were doing 590 years ago is neither here nor there.

At least their nuclear programme has been destroyed, and it would be appropriate that any other arms manufacturers are also taken out of action, especially those that sell drones to pariah states.


As you know, Poland and most other European countries benefitted from relatively low worldwide oil prices that existed for several years caused by the rise in production after the Iraq war, so yes, better.

It's also gained people from Iraq, especially doctors, engineers and academics who have settled in PL and co tribute to the economy. It's likely, given Poland's historic links with Iran, that the Iranian community, again, educated professionals, will settle too.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


Not in Poland.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


It does.

Aside from millions of złotych worth of trade (which has been decreasing but is still important, especially Styrene polymers) any conflict in that region may well make oil prices rocket, something Polish consumers, the Polish government and Polish businesses can ill afford.

As you know, Iran has a long coast on the Arabian Gulf. This is a huge risk to oil shipments and other trade (including exports from Poland. Plus the billions of dollars of trade between Poland and countries bordering Iran. This will be affected if the war continues to escalate


Poland has already taken sides. It is part of the western alliance. It cannot stay out of this as if it were Switzerland and at the same time expect help from other countries in the future.
