Hate to break it to you: There are 5 Foreign Military Bases In America​.

2. German Air Force (Luftwaffe) Base in Arizona​

Damn, yea, and we could be friends with glorious Russia like Russian friendly nations of Armenia, Serbia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan etc ancestral brothers.

So the greatest peace meeting ever in Alaska finally took place. Is the war over yet? Have the attacks stopped?

I guess not.

Weird. I was told that Zelenskyy was the one holding up the peace deal. That it was all his fault and that if only he'd negotiate, he'd have peace.

Oh, I see. It's really Microsoft Powerpoint's fault.

Bill Gates, when will you end the war in Ukraine, you selfish son of a b!tch?!

News / War propaganda - are we really THAT retarded? [28]


The problem with journalism is that somewhere along the line, informing stopped being important, now everyone has to "create a narrative", they teach it even in journo training, so it's not some kind of accident at work, it's clearly what the so-called market expects from them.

I recommend trying Tygodnik Powszechny, even though the dickheads are now hiding behind a paywall. It's not a particularly scintillating read, but it's informative. I've been trying for a while to find equivalent material in the rest of the Media Hostile to Poland, but it seems that describing a topic in any detail is beyond the typical intern.

Please, pretty please with sugar on top, stop quoting Do Rzeczy chucklefucks like Ziemkiewicz, Wildstein, Semka, Łysiak, Lisicki, Cenckiewicz, Zychowicz, and certainly do not bring up Warzecha here. Let this particular facet of Polish public life be well hidden from foreigners, in case they want to claim a new form of brain cancer evolved in Poland specifically.

What a completely different and positive meeting with Trump compared to the disaster in February.
Zelensky had clearly been prepped around how to engage with Trump.
He was smartly dressed and he received a compliment from a right-wing journalist, he thanked Trump and the US on several occasions, he presented a personal letter to Trumps wife who cares about the reality of the thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children. This went down very well with Trump, he likes this personal touch. Zelensky avoided responding in too much detail around his expectations when asked certain questions.
Trump was also much more relaxed and complimentary to both Ukraine and the EU leaders who travelled to the US. He joked about several things.

Ah, so you're not the fan of Polish XIX century literature or just Adam Mickiewicz in particular? How do you like "Reduta Ordona"?

But I'm personally on Slowacki's side of that argument and I find his semi-mocking "Winkelried of nations" much more appealing.

How it compare to the absolute poverty and hopelessness of living under communism? Of receiving the equivalent of 20 USD as a monthly wage? Even if numbers are meaningless at least this shows that Poland was two times poorer than Yugoslavia and almost two times than Bulgaria.

History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]


Actually I am a subcriber of Poland being "the Winkelried of Nations". That was coined by Słowacki. Though I'm a little tired of it. And don't want another situation where Poland will have to suffer for the well being of the rest of Europe. Like the time we are sold to USSR so others could live a peaceful lives.

There is a philosophy called "Winkelriedism", which name is taken from the hero's name. It is based on an individual giving himself up idealistically and sacrificially to the enemy for the betterment of others.Juliusz Słowacki created this way of thinking in his dramatic poem "Kordian", where the titular character decides to kill the Tsar of Russia to take Poland's suffering on himself, easing a breakthrough to freedom for his nation. Słowacki considered Poland the "Winkelried of Nations", a bitter and fatalistic sentiment.

Not always. For example Peoples Republic of Kosovo asked for help and received it, NATO liberated the occupied territories of the PRoK.

Yes, recognized puppet pro-Soviet goyvernment over the government in exile. We were sold, plain and square.
Soviet security forces were operating on site right from the start in 1944 though, even before this recognition changed to the soviet puppet government.

History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]


And you say Polish government in 1944-45 wasn't a puppet? Despite all allies agreeing that there should be elections and there being recognized government in exile in London that has not authorised soviet activity?

History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]


Legal Polish government was in London. As a sign of continuity, first democratically elected president (Walesa) took insignia from the last president-in-exile during his swearin-in, not from Jaruzelski.

Those who ruled in Warsaw were brought here on Soviet tanks and held power only as long as there were Soviet tanks backing them. No wonder that they power crumbled immidiately when it was apparent that Gorbachev won't bail them out.

Travel / About cars, electric and combustion in Poland. [162]

Car industry is failing because development for combustion cars has reached its course and profits have remained stagnant so they are going to push for electric cars so they have an excuse to reset the whole thing and create a new business model and thus restore their profits.
