History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

I dunno....


I guess it's difficult to estimate the purchasing power of that Ruble....I compare that rather with the GDR Mark and the West German Mark back then.....totally different possibilities!

History / Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [161]


Nope!

That has turned around on it's head, in Germany at least, but I guess elsewhere to!

The most rabid anti-semites is now the Left....the more leftist the more anti-semite....the most radical leftist are even allies of Hamas!

The AfD openly endorses and supports Israel...both unites the fight against murderous Islamists....the green-leftist (not only in Germany) are unable to handle that conundrum and it shows....and costs votes!

No amount of "Demo against the Right" can change the fact that people get murdered by Islamists immigrants and not by AfD troops....if the Green-Left doesn't finds an answer for that soon they will lose percents in every now coming election...till into the insignificance!

Threats instead of arguments?

Man, what a tiny dick.....

History / Its decided. If Germany interfere in Silesia, Russia would support Poland. New winds [17]

We would need immigrants for Silesia....or any other new territory.....Germany just lacks the Germans for a new "Drang nach Osten".

BTW....has anybody heard from Seanie? Long time no post!

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

....in short: The age of Globalization is over!

We have to change and adapt....won't be easy though....

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

Na ja....since Germany is a big contributor of these funds....I can't deny it.


Well...if it's that then the Funds-stop because of that law-thingie would make not alot of sense, right? And our economy should look alot better than it does right now....


Yeah...something doesn't work here anymore!

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

...not to forget the billions of EU-funds (money!) flowing from Brussels to Warsaw!

Every true patriot would look to milk that some more before hoisting the anchor.....

Donald Tusk's newly elected government has been pushing to restore Warsaw's fraught relationship with Brussels. The European Commission will next week start unblocking payments of up to €137 billion in EU funds earmarked for Poland that are currently frozen due to issues related to the rule of law.

Alone in that regard Tusk is much more patriot than K. ever was!

*eye roll*

...you are really a Putin troll, are you? Only in Moscow that would make sense....

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]


Yeah well....I asked you?

Maybe british Labour is really different to what counts mainland-Europe leftist!

I guess it's the same with polish Tusk....and it could be the same with the new german leftist party led by Wagenknecht: less immigration, more for the national workers...less woke...less green...but already differing on Ukraine....interesting times!

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]


You know the old saying?


Berlin could do what it wanted as long as our economy did well, or rather looked like it was well. The mystery of Merkel's long rule and moving their party and the whole gov left and green ways!

Now, that doesn't work anymore....the economy sinks and the discontent of the german people rises! Every now upcoming election will mirror that development....that will have consequences for our leaders and their parties of course too!


Are they so different?

What is Labours stand on immigration? And the war in Ukraine? Are they woke or not?


They are not nationalist? Then they have no problems with the EU?

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]


How so?

As I read it (from Berlin, mind you) it looks like the leftist Brits will win the next elections...leftists who are usually rather pro-immigration and anti-nationalist!

One could think you could have had that if you stayed...but actually the EU is about to change ways more right....less leftist...to a big part because of the anti-immigration and nationalist movements in the member states. (Sunday are the big EU-elections!)

You see? It's abit confusing....

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]


.....and we all dislike chinese take overs, don't we!

And before that, when our national prides moved out to China....leaving unemployed Europeans behind.....for less taxes and regulations and bigger profits!


True!

But they see also that the promised better, more successful border-control, a thing many mainland Europeans wish for too, never came to pass either!

That it might make more sense to change the immigration laws from the inside....to build the "Fortress Europe" together in Brussels....

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

You have no idea how many EU-Europeans agree with you, Iron!

The best and probably the only way is to make the EU so that they fit you....from the INSIDE!

After a Polexit Poland will have so much influence in Brussels as London has now, zero!!!

That's how these things work...there is no other way....so, vote for politicians who can move things IN the EU. Voting instead for ones who only ever fights the EU, wants Poland out, is not helping Poland at all. Logical, right?

Even Orban doesn't want out, instead he uses his vote to annoy EU-politicians mightily....with that he has so much power in Brussels! Since many decisions need unanimity he can block and sway things he doesn't like. Hungary out of the EU would have a very quiet voice only...he would achieve NOTHING!

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

.....WHAT???? You mean Germany is not all-powerful and controls Poland with our dicks?????

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

...and super interested in dicks...and testis.....and cants....and faking....:)

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]


But you can't...Germany rules everything, you said so yourself! We took away your freedom...you can't fight our dicks!!! *laughs madly*

....and how powerful we are! That's so awesome....

News / Polish Government of runs on 2 engines: Bribery from EU and Polish inferiority complex about being Polish [25]

....I see the day coming Germans go over the border and steal polish cars....I do!

News / Will Poland as a NATO member be drawn into the Israel/Iran war ? [250]


Now....I would call THAT propaganda, Iron!

It has been awhile since Germans showed a big ego.....and had reason to....

History / Honoring - Otto Schimek [47]

I guess he still has to work through the polish ice hockey defeat against Germany in Ostrava today! :)

History / Honoring - Otto Schimek [47]


No Gruni, I didn't want to criticize you, that is a misunderstanding....I only mentioned that because some could wonder why I as a German put doubts of his bravery into this thread....I didn't do it because I judge this man, not at all!

Ach, I better leave here...it's not my place!

History / Honoring - Otto Schimek [47]


I would never judge since I can only hope to do the right thing in their situation....

History / Honoring - Otto Schimek [47]


You know....he was Austrian!

And I don't think it's only a few Nazis at Wiki:

....In 1993, the TV station Telewizja Polska created a 40-minute documentary show entitled Casus: Otto Schimek.[5] In 2011, the journalist Martin Pollack and the writer Christoph Ransmayr, both Austrians, published a description of their sources, "which counteract this heroic narrative and make the case appear as simple desertion."[6]Genesis of a legend made visible as a guided event of interpretation and the actual fall of Shimek to the exemplum."[6] In 2013 the Polish magazine Wprost adopted the criticisms of the two Austrian authors and described the story as a second-hand hero saga from the sister of the executed soldier.[7]...

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Schimek

Not that I would want to denigrate that "only a desertion"....that too was not that easy back then!

At least he isn't totally forgotten in the german speaking part of the world....he got mentioned on a memorial plaque:

Now I googled him....an Austrian btw....

The german Wiki says the story is untrue....there are no trustworthy sources for that....developed by his sister?
