@Novichok

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

Please, don't act like a typical Polak

I have no need to make a "point" out of anything. I am here to practice my english. Preferably not American version and learn in general, you on the other hand seem to ONLY want to rile up people, leading to verbal fights instead of debate and learning. If you have such a "need" to win fights, only proves you are a loser

I rather discuss in a civil manner how D-Day was significant for Poland. Yet we can't cause you are here with your troll brigade

@Novichok
So if I "Liberate your house, and do whatever I please to your family and lil island" You will also call it liberation as I take all your materials as well? "Liberated" of all the weight that you would otherwise carry? Please grow a brain cell or two, you are just being nasuating

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

The one who got killed was a soldier - private Mateusz Sitek from 1st Warsaw Armoured Brigade. He was only 21:

Well that makes it personal for me. A lot of people got reshuffled from category of: "Stupid, but doesn't know they actually need help and are being fooled" to "Blacklisted and enemies"

No, moron, NKVD never reopened Auschwitz

Just proving yourself ignorant and a Biden copy! Auschwitz was indeed reopened and used by NKVD+SB to torture and interrogate.

Not my fault you got a problem with FACTS and unable to think logically

The Red Army closed Auschwitz

Then NKVD reopened it. No thank you. American GI's and British Fusiliers would be certainly a better choice since it would then remain closed

But yeah ignore reality

History / Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [149]

@Ironside

Generally Poles in Germany and Germans in Poland are not foreign implants...

Indeed, one can easily argue that both state count more as foreign implants more so then either culture due to states moving in. (Silesia, Prussia, Pommerania are best examples of it. Where people chose or sided with German or Polish nation out of a plethora of reasons. Mainly safety, prospects and economy. Not only tho)

Off-Topic / Poland's aid to Serbia if Vatican invades - part 2 [8]

If Vatican ever (God forbid! *crosses himself*) invades Serbia,

I like to think about it as too abstract, fantasy and ridiculous. BUT, considering what kind of pope it is in Rome now and history of Teutonic order and invasion of Byzantium by Catholic forces while severely threatened by Muslim invaders.

It is not something that can be written of as impossible due to history.

GROM would most likely have to be used indeed to straighten him out if such a mad decision would been made

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

and you think western or western european anything is so good for the world and so progressive. so exciting makes me giggle

I'll forgive you that statement, since it is based on ignorance

So what?Do you really think

I am sure people buy what's cheaper in the long run and not what's binds them to Russian energy. It boggled my mind that ordinary people did not care or see the risk of buying gas. Even if it was cheapest

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

You have seen nothing

So I have not seen solar power on Polish rooftops? Nicely new built houses in old neighbourhoods? Cars after cars outside cities?

I am on topic, you claimed PO is controlling Poles brains in Poland. I wrote that yeah, but it's basically of little consequence. A Pole only needs to travel abroad to see the truth.

What transformation? I used to play a game of counting Maluchs in 90's. Now it's basically impossible

My post was not about my ignorance, but that of westerners and Poles themselves.

And it's Mr Grunwald, not Grünewalt, Von Grünewalt or Von Grunwald or Greenwood. Mind you

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

@wslipach
Hear hear, I have personally seen an awakening of this reality when working in Poland. General image of a country being "modern, not old fashioned and future oriented" only to come downing on them when visiting the country. Seeing the size of the population, technology and architecture.

A lot of westerners still see Poland as fully eastern bloc country and are shocked over the transformation when experiencing it.

It will take many more years but, more and more Poles will see that actually Poland is very much future oriented despite many Poles grievances with village mentality or prejudice of non-city inhabitants.

I walked village to village in Poland, there isn't much to complain about really except a few oddballs that only a strong headed local village mayor they know can handle. Otherwise it's only a matter of economical difference (other countries do have their share of village pumpkins, yet far more hostile to change then in Poland).

Just within energy, transportation and whatnot Poland is climbing forward. Yet others are cosy mosey stuck with what they are used to.

I noticed innovative Poles even in PiS, village landscape. (pawian being more rural then urban sure can attest to that himself)

Love / Asian woman dating a Polish guy [19]

Sound like you want to play with the hearts of boys. Let him go, if he spoke the truth and dated nobody else you aren't worthy of him. Let him go

History / Monte Cassino 80th Anniversary [18]

@Bobko
Polish victory (Not only Polish victory as it was a team effort)

German Fallschirmjägers disobeyed orders of withdrawal and kept on fighting, one of the most elite troops the Axis powers had to offer. Polish forces offensive advance towards the monastery allowed for other allied troops to push forward and get closer to encircle the monastery. Forcing the German troops to withdraw despite their initial wish to keep on fighting.

The victory at Monte Cassino finally allowed the allied troops to get closer to enter Rome and seal the fate of Italy as a participant in WW2.

Churchill was the mind of Polish troops being insignificant during a quarrel with either Sikorski or General Anders. After the Quarrel a certain General or Marshal Alexander had to point it out for him that without the Polish troops, an advance northwards in Italy would have been highly unlikely.

It was a major victory for the Allied forces, not just propaganda

It is any man's place! Nonsense BB!
However I am quite surprised that Torq has been absent from this thread. I would thought that his Austrian side would increase his happiness by 1000%

History / Honoring - Otto Schimek [47]

@Bratwurst Boy
Not as much as judgement from my side, more of an appreciation of humanity in a single soldier I can only dream of reaching in terms of actions in my own lifetime. Past is the past, but it is a calming thing for me to see men I can try to strive for to be

History / Honoring - Otto Schimek [47]

@Bratwurst Boy
There are plenty of other scenario's (safer?) that I can imagine him trying to desert. Many armies employ the accusation of desertation as a reason of harsh punishments for individual soldiers for, petty reasons, political, disobedience or others.

So I'll remain sceptical, he seems like did a good thing despite a horrible situation

That's because they lack honour! This single soldier raises up the entire German military! Just think if 1 million soldiers like him were present in the Wehrmacht! It would have kept the honour of the German military from times of preWW1

Seems to a issue, and I can't find the short* again so far. A pity

It seemed rather believable, especially as flowers are still laid down at his grave. I would have to check German wikipedia. As it is highly interesting that such a claim is written there

I wanted to share a little clip honoring Otto Schimek, proof that a good human being is not defined by his uniform.

Po polsku / Polska miedzy Niemcami i Rosja. Zalety i wady. [512]

@gumishu
Szczera prawda, z tym się zgadzam.
Po prostu takie zapędy jak nazywanie nawzajem agentami obcego państwa bez konkretnych dowodów za zagrywkę polityczną. Niczym więcej, więc w innym rozumieniu pic na wodę. Głupota i strata czasu

@gumishu
Nie chodzi mi o detale obu tragedii i typ ofiar.

Chodzi mi o to że stanęli się partiami związanymi z bólem i cierpieniem własnej ludności poprzez te dwa akty horroru, i zrobili z tego czegoś więcej niż trzeba było z zwykłych ludzkich potrzeb u własnych członków.

PiS dostał wstrzyknięcie Anty-Rosyjskie
A Arbeiderpartiet wstrzyknięcie Anti-"prawico-terrorystyczne"

W obu przypadkach, zjawisko bycia w oblężonej twierdzy

@gumishu
Niewielu, ale wystarczył jeden wysoko postawiony który zrobił niezły burdel dla całej siatki na początku wojny. Powinieneś o tym poczytać jak tak piszesz.

Raczej Armia Ludowa/Bataliony Chłopskie

I ci co byli po lewej stronie politycznie ale członkami AK.

PiS uważał i z czego rozumiem dalej uważa się za kontynuacją PPS. Ma więcej wspólnego z "Labour" w Brytanii zanim oszaleli i z Arbeiderpartiet w Norwegii zanim te nowe trendy się pojawiły z którymi PiS się nie zgadza (głównie z powodu starszego elektoratu)

Nawet widzę pewne podobizny (Martyrologia Utøya/Martyrologia Smoleńska)

@gumishu
Uważam to za zupełnie wykonalne z strony obcych służb (nie tylko Rosyjskich) by się przedstawić fałszywie jako pracownicy wywiadu Polskiego by naciskać na pewnych Polskich polityków (nie patrząc na ugrupowanie, skrajne czy nie, lewa czy prawa)

Wystarczy by osoba miała kontakty z osobami które mają dostęp do ścisłych informacji.

Trzeba pamiętać że byli szmalcownicy podczas drugiej wojny światowej. To będą też tacy dzisiaj
