Bad idea.....

Potentially yes.

It could certainly make the Kurds happy. They'd be oil rich too.

Only applies to those who went there AFTER the Foreign Ministry issued the warning not to do it.

Quite.

And some countries charge a lot more for that.

500 euro to get on the plane

£420 is a very reasonable price for short notice air travel between Iran and Poland.

is there a mood for partitions in Iran? I never heard of anything like it....

Definitely not among the Persians however politicians in Israel have mentioned federalising Iran.

Persians never acknowledged the partitions

Remember that the splitting of Iran that some suggest isn't splitting Persians.

Arabistan in the south may as well be separate anyway. The risk is that states in the north may be susceptible to orc influence.

Plus of course Iraq and Arabistan would want to be together and neighbouring ethnostate countries in the north would want to annexe the parts nearest to them. There are pluses and minuses in that. The Persians would of course still have Persia. They would not however have much oil.

Two regime changes

Putler will cling on for dear life.

the f*cking bumper sticker song again...

It's possible to empathise with people who suffer at the hands of all three appalling governments involved in this.

What do you think of the suggested plan to federalise or split Iran? Israel likes it however there are a couple of fatal flaws.

Travel / Traveling! What to do in Warsaw and Krakow? [39]

These two cities just try to copy

Hard to know what you mean by that. They're cities.

I'd avoid Krakow which suffers from over tourism badly however Warsaw is worth a visit.

Not using slouch terminology would be a place to start.

stereotypes

Is there a stereotype that psheky are murderous then?

marginalised Polish communities

They aren't 'marginalised' and you would do well to cast your pinhole eyes towards the top of the screen and read the name of the forum.

That which you ray to dis is is simply normal life, and is also unrelated to the current conflict.

There is nothing wrong with religious zeal.

Tell that to the people swinging from ropes in Iran.

News / European News and Poland Thread - part 4 [528]

Reflect on the damage that 14 years of a rightwing government can do, and rejoice that we've got a decade at least to make the rich bastards in the south pay through the nose (I would personally just have the fund managers, the Tory MPs and Phil and Kirstie sent away for reeducation).

BTW, the railway line hasn't been built because nobody wants it. A Tory idea designed to make millions for their chums that has been defeated by people power,

telegraph

You do realise that the newspaper in question has a largely over 70 and ultra traditionalist newspapers.

In Poland where the newspapers exist to say how wonderful the new bridges, stadiums and monuments are and how great the leader is and avoid mentioning anything that looks bad in case an outsider bothers to translate and read it. That and endless political trivia and finance data.

Over there however, the newspapers waist to say "why oh why" and to make criticisms in order to to either advance the interests of the political party they support or to generally effect change.

If a Polish-style newspaper went on sale in the U.K. it would go bust immediately. Nobody would read it due to being boring.

it is though, isn't it?

No.

If the Pole in question had not emigrated, perhaps they'd have murdered someone at home...

what the word "ciapaty" comes from

From chappatti, a type of Indian bread that emigre Poles in the U.K. encountered.

The worst or the best, depends how you look at it. :)

True. Was the guy in the mugshot the worst serial killer because he screwdrivered 100 women or the best because he was so successful at it?

Minority languages should be cherished. The French are probably the worst in Europe by far at protecting them. Arguably they despise them.

Don Jr. can bench press 300 lbs, and is an avid hunter

Hunter sounds a better person.

invest a billion in the kanalia's businesses, buy his crypto, and he'll go away.

Whatever happens, the people around Trup will already have adjusted investments to hedge themselves from the shock and/ir profit from the misery.

Right from the pages of the "Song of Roland" or "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table".

More likely fear.

The Pahlavis stole the throne from the rightful Qajars.

Ancient history. The sort of thing Crowie bangs on about.

The most thing about whichever person and group is next, is that they're allied with the world's democracies rather than malign state actors.

A Magahat on top.

Those meme coins are just a case of 'create some', push them online. Hope the price goes up and sell them just before you think it's going to return to zero.

More like a virtual amusement arcade thingy where you hit the wotsit and hope it rings the bell, except you've got to run away just before it does

What a scam that is.

I just bought some gold (physical). The price is high however the market is bullish and it always goes up long term.

Nice pretty gold with a picture of The King on. Several coins. Just in case.

The only real opposition to the regime

There are a few other options.

The Pahlavi dynasty are a bunch of lowborn Mazandarani usurpers (not even Persians).

That doesn't make any difference to them.

To use in their nuclear reactor

Why would they need one of those?

do not have the inclination to interfere in their peculiar system.

Or the ability.

So why did you lie about it? Post #1266, topic - USA News and Poland.

That post is accurate.
