News / Will Poland as a NATO member be drawn into the Israel/Iran war ? [259]

Not only the Brits, the French are active too....of course Poland will support Israel!

Why should they support the Mullahs in Tehran? Even Jordan is supporting Israel, intercepting missiles coming from Tehran!

News / Will Poland as a NATO member be drawn into the Israel/Iran war ? [259]

I knew it!

Iran...the master mind and biggest supporter behind HAMAS and so many other mass murdering terrorists....sooner or later a war between the true enemies, the West and the Mullahs, and not only between their proxies, is unavoidable!

The US better starts supporting our best frontline team, Israel, again!

Surely....it's the same old massmurdering ideology since 200 years....only clad into other "clothes".....and we will defeat them again, as we did before!

After years of observation I'm sure of that, without repeating and discussing these definitions and modern labels....they just sound better but it's still the same Ungeist behind.

It's my interpretation.....since 1989, the usual western leftist had been left floundering....the old cause, even the word "socialism", having become a dirty word, a dead idea....who could forget the masses of people taking to the streets to be free of them, democracy and capitalism having won so thoroughly!

But a really reprocessing of these time-changing events didn't really happen, didn't it? The former Eastern-Bloc and leftist world revolution supporter in the West did not really change, never accepting that their ideology being a huge failure, no they now just reframed everything, cut out the old words and used new ones, hid the old Mao and Che posters...did go green and all identity politics....but when you scratch under that thin mask there is still the same old deep red, and it stinks like from a decomposing corpse!

They supplanted the communist international as the new radical leftist sect....somewhat....

At least when you are white, hetero and patriotic!

And as it turns out most Westerners are still all that....even after 20 years of "re-education"!

Do you mean "wokism"? ;)

Yeah...it's not working, more and more people are getting that....and the election outcomes in ever more western countries are reflecting that!

Thanks to now widely available information such deficits are becoming now more and more glaringly obvious...

I don't hate them, I don't believe them everything either....

Most are just not uptodate with the newest scientific developments since they left med school!

For example nutrition....most still kept to their learned advice as western societies got more fat and diabetic all the time, not at least because of this advice aka eat lotsa carbs and at least five little meals a day (to keep the blood surgar continously high)..."eat more fruit" (as fruit sugar is a healthy sugar)..."fat makes fat" and such crap!

All these sweets and the costumes, money of course....and the industries are globalized and connected in many ways!

I'm all for recognizing and acknowledging pagan holy days, it's the tradition of sending your kids out to ring on unknown doors which is just strange!

Life / Womans day in Poland? [242]


...or Halloween!

In Berlin you can see them sometimes now too....but it never took hold! Foreign, strange clad kids and adults ring an unknown door and cry for sweets. Not to mention that most buildings here are blocks of flats where the visitor has to ring the main street door to get into the building in the first place, which in most cases stays shut since they don't belong to anyone of the folks in this house....after all this years of advertising it's still just strange and abit embarrassing for all....and of course sad for the little ones!

Interesting question, Novi!

Imagine the Tsar and his family wouldn't had been executed....would Russia today be better off? (No Stalin etc.)

Imagine King Wilhelm II hadn't abdicated....would Germany today be better off? (No Hitler etc.)

Interesting:

Tusk is a Kashubian name. Kashubia (or Kaszuby as it's known in Polish) is a region that lies in Northern Poland. It stretches from the region west of Gdansk (or the city of Gdynia to be more exact) to the Hel Peninsula and inland Pomerania.

On the other hand....Google honores today some polish scientist Casimir Funk with a doodle....now that name sounds german!

....nah, that honor belongs surely to Gorbatschow....he started it all in Russia.....and he denied East-Berlin the military to end the protestations in a bloody chinese way....who knows, the wall would maybe still stand without him.

For an East-German that all was Gorbatschow, not the pope!

Trump is already doing more for the common defense than anybody before him:


theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/14/nato-chief-rebukes-donald-trump-and-announces-record-defence-spending


Germany between them actually, heh:)

....German officials added that Berlin would allocate more than 2% of GDP to defence during 2024, and the news agency DPA later said that would amount to €68.58bn (£58.6bn), or 2.01% of GDP. It will be the first time military spending has exceeded the threshold since the end of the cold war. A year ago the proportion was 1.57%.....
