News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Ukraine? [44]

So when Ukrainian leadership and politicians clearly snub and behave badly towards Polish politicians

They are doing that because Polish politicians are doormats; they take advantage of the vacuum.

leading to a policy change

It is nothing new. They use this opportunity to get benefits from Germany, and Germany, which temporarily lost their great partnership with Russia, is using Ukraine as a stand-in. Also, many countries started technological and military cooperation with Ukraine, gaining know-how about drones, except for the Polish government.
Tusk is trolling the opposition. Sikorski, instead of taking care of foreign affairs, is censuring and lecturing Polish politicians from the opposition; they are incompetent waste.
Kamysz is womanizing, good for him as long as he won't get an STD, but what about the organization of the army, buying new toys left and right is not a solution, it is sabotage.

What the hell, Morawicki signed all those harmful to Poland agreements and never apologized. He looks like Harry Potter after binge drinking and talks like R2-D2.

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [156]

I drink coffee rather than tea, so I'm not an expert, but I guess it could be down to the quality and brand of tea you are drinking, as well as to water quality and so on.

Ukrainians consider themselves,

Who cares what they consider themselves on that level? lol! Another useless comment regarding politics.
If anything, their problem is they consider themselves to be some kind of Russia, ie, world power or at least local power, which they are not.
Their foreign policy is bold and rational, but I think that their rationality is flawed; they fail to see the bigger picture. Their biggest flaw is the failure to recognize the importance of Poland. They might come to regret it.

Poland is a woman. It reacts on feelings. Zero logic.

I think such statements are aimed more at expressing emotional feelings than a logical analysis of the issue.
Poland instinct to help Ukraine is rational, but the way they go about it is irrational and goes too far without securing Polish interests.
The problem, as always, lies in Polish politicians, who are not up to par and, clearly, on average, less capable and less intelligent than your average Polish citizen.

Tea is bad for your teeth.

Arab and Turkish people drink it a lot, if not more. It is good to keep cholesterol down. Also, in terms of number, the Chinese are tea-drinking people.

Genealogy / Origins of Polish Genetics [17]

It might interest some.

Polish DNA holds a haunting secret - the mothers never left, but the fathers changed forever. This documentary uncovers how ancient maternal bloodlines in Poland remained unbroken for over 3,000 years, while Slavic male ancestry rewrote the nation's genetic map.

News / Poland to introduce border controls with Germany and Lithuania [101]

Fascinating how those nationalists

Not really, as that reality exists in your fantasy land.
There is something else fascinating. Namely, you as an example of an educated German. You are always fully committed to whatever official stance of the German government is. I guess Hitler had so many followers and almost no opposition stemming from the fact that once he became chancellor, it was all over. Germans obey their government.

The whole world understands this.

Not if we build an alliance, as I mentioned above, rather than seeking exotic alliances.

Have your peers elected you to that role? If not, have you been delegated by some branch of the US government to that role?
If not, you represent yourself and your flies. Period.

discussion.

So you are saying that Poland should have a rational political policy. Nothing new, I'm trying to impress upon a few people that very idea.
If that is the case, there is no need to argue for the alliance on such a basic level; it should be a matter of course. Details should be ironed out so that Poland would gain and not lose in such a partnership.
A word to the wise: Poland without Ukraine still has many options, while Ukraine without Poland is isolated and cut off almost completely.

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [392]

What about letting in thousands being sent to Poland by Germany?

What about it? Can you focus? You're all over the place, can't hold a serious conversation. Geez, you Poles, who taught you those dumb ways?
So far, it seems that if Poland were to close the German border, that would stop.

As always, people tend to chatter about trivial matters. Poland is facing asymmetric warfare from Belarus, effectively making it a proxy war with Russia. Our government seems ineffective, focusing on irrelevant issues instead of addressing critical threats. For instance, we should be taking decisive action against the criminals attempting to cross our eastern border to enhance our internal security and guard against sabotage. Additionally, we need to adopt a stronger stance within the EU, as its regulations are detrimental to our ability to defend ourselves.

Tusk continues to spread falsehoods and fails to fulfill the responsibilities of governance.
That is a problem and not a theoretical issue: what is an illegal migrant, and what to do with it?
Or even more bizarre and abstract issue of a strategic alliance with Russia.

Legalities be damned. The law is for the people, not the people for the law. If you are such a legalist, I suppose all those judged in Nuremberg were victims of revenge, as they hadn't broken any laws.

However, it was a beginning. A legitimate beginning, regardless of what it was and what people think it was nowadays.
