News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 25 [1150]

reduce the population in Poland so that there is more land (...) The rest will go to Russia to the Siberian gulags.

Honestly, your ideas don't really appeal to me, Грабушко. At the moment you are in the 4th place in my Favourite PF Russians ranking behind Velund, Bobko and ConstantineK. Continue in this vein and you are not very likely to ever make it to the podium.

See, Bobko, I'm your only true friend on PF.

Suck-up.

I've always known you Dmowski buffs are a suspicious bunch. *hugs the portrait of the Good Marshal*

This hurts my feelings, but also confirms some of my long term suspicions.

It shouldn't - I merely prefer to admire Russia from a distance, whilst living in another country, like you and Novichok.

For all your supposed Russophilia

Supposed? SUPPOSED? I am the greatest Russophile in Gdańsk and the entire Pomerania (as you can very well see in my today's posts). Actually, I only know one guy in Poland who is a greater Russophile than I am but he lives in Warsaw, so that's a different voivodship.

you would still prefer German occupation to Russian occupation

I would prefer Soviet occupation to Nazi occupation. But today, in 2025, I'd definitely prefer German!

A person who truly loves Russia, would always prefer Russian occupation!

Nonsense. You are a Russian imperialist and even you prefer to live in the USA... and I hate to break it to you but if your children are born in America, they will definitely become American (and when they go through their inevitable rebellious phase, there is a good chance that they will refer to you as "this f*cking Ruski" ;)).

Now I feel we have no choice but to invade, if only to ensure that Pawian has a more prosperous life than Kania.

This time my feelings are hurt because I am well aware of the fact that now you will flood Pawian with roubles if only to prove your point! *pouts*

come to an agreement and conclude a secret pact

Like Ribbentrop-Molotov? Well, I suppose there's no point finding new ways of dividing Poland if ready, proven solutions present themselves so obviously.

he gives his blessing to a small invasion of Poland on both sides

Who knows. I'm not even sure if the genius can tell the difference between Poland and Holland.

I'm in Danzig anyway, so I'll end up on the German side. Pawian's f*cked though. xD

how about I stop the jokes about **** and bark shoes

Brilliant. They're not funny anyway.

and instead make full inventories of the aggressors war crimes

That would at least be on topic in this thread.

You carry on getting a hard on about Yuri Gagarin and the 1930s metro system

You are confusing me with Novichok.

I do admire Russian literature, music, the breadth of Slavic soul, the beauty of Russia's nature, their achievements in sciences, and the personal qualities of Russian people whom I met personally, but I support neither the putinist government nor their criminal and cowardly (without declaration of war) invasion of Ukraine. I made it abundantly clear hundreds of times here.

@Grabi

There is some truth in that but still personal freedom (also freedom of expression) is incomparably higher in Europe, and people whom the governments don't like are still not flying out of windows (a subtle difference, yes, but a difference nonetheless).

You forgot their contributions to amateur **** and the shoes they invented made of tree bark

You guys are so annoying, it's unbelievable. Continue in such vein and I will feel tempted to join Novichok's one-person camp. 0_0

against a far smaller and poorer enemy

Smaller but still the size of France, patriotic and determined to defend their country. Poorer but flooded with money, weapons, ammunition, intelligence data and many other resources by most of the Western world.

Plans for everything Ruskies have build have been stolen by KGB from the west.

Did you even read my post? How could they have stolen something that other countries don't have and never had, genius?

Russians may have inferior social/government system but apart from that they are the most intelligent and most resourceful Slavic people.

Ruskies are incapable of inventing anything

If you really insist on being a retard...

due to racial limitations

... then at least don't be a racist retard on top of that.

How many countries operate nuclear ice-breakers? Or how many countries provide space taxi services for Americans, when they aren't able to transport their crews themselves?

The first space station was Russian (that implies they didn't copy it from anyone else, doesn't it?). Russian rocket engines were so efficient and reliable that the U.S. bought and used them for Atlas V rockets for decades; Russian floating nuclear power plant (Akademik Lomonosov) is the world's first operational one, deployed in the Arctic. They have fast breeder reactors in operation (BN-600, BN-800). What else? Buran space shuttle with fully automated orbital flight and landing on its maiden voyage is something NASA never achieved. Many Nobel Prizes, including the discovery of superconductivity in certain compounds, excellent results - almost the best in the world - in international Mathematics and Physics olympiads. I could go on but it's ultimately pointless, because - as Mark Twain once said - "no amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot" (how true!).

Both are capitalist

That is absolutely correct, Grabi. However, in Europe capitalism developed gradually since Middle Ages and it is backed up by those silly European ideas of human rights, individual freedom, rule of law, property laws, independent media and legal institutions - you know, small things like that.

In Russia, on the other hand, it is more like Wild West (or Wild East rather) capitalism, with weaker civil society, oligarchs dominating key sectors, people falling out of windows, most media subordinated to state, and lack of real accountability of the government to voters.

Technically, yes - they are both capitalist. It's like a chair and an electric chair - they are both chairs, but the differences are not trivial.

What is happening - Poles?

Same old, same old.

What are you worried about today?

The coming war with Russia, inflation, the state of Polish football, floods in Pakistan and India, landslides in Sudan, war in Gaza - you name it, we worry about it. This is our national sport. :)

How can I make you feel more comfortable?

They for sure can see the advances in wealth and freedom made by their Romanian cousins

Well, the European model is certainly more appealing to ordinary people than the Russian one, that's true. However, seeing how the support of the EU for KO helped them achieve their electoral success in Poland, I dare to suspect that there was some involvment (not a direct one, of course) in the Moldovan elections as well.

Nothing bad in that, mind you. The last thing we want is another putinist Trojan horse behind our lines. Hungary and Slovakia are more than enough.

@grabber

Highlight the text you want to quote and then click on the @username to quote his post properly without your earlier quote.

They were deprived of voting - what kind of legitimate elections can we even talk about?

I think that's how it should be also with elections in Poland - if someone lives abroad permanently and pays taxes there, why should he vote in Polish elections? The same applies to Moldova.

As for their elections, both Russia and the EU meddled in them. The EU turned out to be better at meddling.

No one's buying your spiel.

What do you mean 'spiel'? Bobko is as honest as it gets: he supports Putin and his war in Ukraine and never made a secret out of it, he is a Russian imperialist and never made a secret out of it. You can dislike him or disagree with him, but accuse him of dishonesty you cannot.

maybe torq is

I'm not buying anything, Maf. Do I like the guy? Sure. Sue me.

Anyone want to start a pool on how long before Ilan Shor falls out of a window?

He should fall out of a window. You make business with gangsters, you end up accordingly.

Life / If you lived abroad, would you like to have a Pole as a neighbor? [93]

you are coming across as a peasant

Polish peasants are very decent people - salt of this earth and good Catholics, not falling for either communist or nazi nonsense. It is by and large thanks to them that Poland emerged from nazi occupation and then communist rule as a still Christian country.

I can't imagine that they just smile and hold the other cheek

I can't see it either. The mutual relations would definitely deteriorate even further.

But it is not Germany who should worry too much. This time it is Russia who started the war, and it is behind Russia that the stink of this war will drag for decades.

are these fears und grudges against Germans or Nazis?

Hmm... a difficult question. Did the German women who were raped by Russian soldiers had later fears and grudges against Russians or Communists?

it's abit puzzling

Not that much. If Russia can still exploit old fears and grudges in their propaganda, they will do it. All dirty tricks are used in a war.

Torqi, do Poles feel they want to be be saved by Russia from big bad Germany?

No, but it is still possible to persuade them (especially the older generation) that Germany has evil intentions. Do you remember when Kaczyński expressed opposition to Germany stationing Patriot systems in Poland, and it was only after much debate that the PiS government changed course? 80 years after the war, and Kaczyński still tried to exploit the opposition to the presence of German troops in Poland, even when you only tried to help! Never underestimate old grudges and old fears, BB.

Germany trying to overtake Europe again like the Nazis

It is still possible to scare people with Germany in Poland. 80 years after the war, after 21 years in the EU, after millions upon millions of Poles have lived, studied and worked in Germany - it is still possible (Kaczyński built his entire political career on this scaremongering). So why are you surprised it is also possible in Russia?

Someone wise once said that one of the first victims of any war is the truth. During war all dirty propaganda tricks will always be used.

The USSR

Hey, you won't hear me complaining about the USSR. Sure, Lwów and Wilno were Polish cultural centres but the areas around them were infested with banderites and samogitians. Untenable in the long run. We got Szczecin, Wrocław and Gdańsk in return--a brilliant deal! Improving our borders in the West was one in a 1000 years chance and thanks to dyadya Stalin we took it. If I was offered the same deal today I would take it again... and again, and again.

As much as many people will hate to admit, Poland after the war, with borders shifted West and ethnically uniform, was better than the one before. Ravaged by war, decimated and deeply hurt, but still better.

they could be ukrainians or bolsheviks in the east of old poland

...or Belarussians or yet another minority notorious for welcoming the Soviets with flowers and having many communists among them (I shall not name this minority for fear of being called an anti-semite).

I doubt many Poles were waving at Red Army mere 19 years after the Polish-Soviet war.
