News / TVP producer fired for allowing rainbow flag on the air... [244]

people and draped a rainbow flag

WTF? Why those people think that is their job to be political? Does she thinks it will further her carrier?

get no further work with TVP

Well that is their right as the employer. Facebook and twitter cenzor people all the time as their are just privately owned companies. Haven't seen you going after them...

I don't know the details and you don't know them either. IF they was something she did on her own volition no harm in showing a nutter and a hypocrite for what she is...

If that was a part of the plan and producers was on it ... that it is the only right they stopped using his services.

I suppose knowing PiS that were just sycophants acing up to suck up to JK. Nobody asked them to be that way, they are natural butlers like pawian.

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [71]

You get up.

Well in that case France and Denmark (an exmaple) weren't occupied by Germany. . You call yourself a genius I think you are on opposite side of the spectrum.

a man from Mars know that Poland was "occupied" by the Soviets?

Lets ask him. Is he your secret friend?

object to using the terms

Who are you to object? You can express your opinion but that about it. I don't care what an American think about it. Mind your own business.

Look Soviet occupation wasn't better than German occupation in any shape or form. Was different with different altitudes and aims.
We can argue about details pro and cons but there is no need. However I cannot agree that Soviet occupation wasn't real one or much better than German one.

German one was a war time occupation. When you talk about Soviet you are talking about later stages of their occupation. The initial stage of Soviet occupation wasn't that much better or less barbarian or genocidal than German one. Sure 12 - 20 years in that occupation wasn't so brutal anymore but to say what you say one has to be like you talking about you gut feeling not about reality.

you are embarrassing, Americans don't care about it and rightly so, you must have some mental disorder to even post about it. WTF wrong with you? People are doing this or that it has nothing to do with you or harm anyone,. so just do something usual for once rather that waste your and others time posting about BS like that..

News / The ruling party in Poland tries to take American owned TV news station off the air [528]

News needs to be free otherwise it is just edited propaganda.

Well that what we deal here , CNN is the best example of edited propaganda which is the most hypocritical at the same time because they claim to be the most free and objective.

roblem renewing the license by your standards.

I think that TV stations and radio station as well as newspapers shouldn't be owned by a foreign entity..
As to all practical and minutiae issues about the issue I won't comment as I don't know them ...I used this opportunity to express my firm believes on the issue of ownership of mass-media as stated above.

To normal people going about their daily lives,

Define normal!
To do that you need some kind od a template you compare it to. IF you compare Soviet Poland from 1956 onwards to Poland under German rule in 1939 - 1944 that yes there was a difference but it doesn't mean that Poland wasn't occupied by the Soviet Union.

It only means that ways, aims and goals of those two totalitarian regimes were different when it comes to Poland. The length of occupation also need to be taken into account.

German occupation of France or Denmark wouldn't fit your template either of what occupation entail if your template is Poland under Germany during WWII.

Do you claim that France (a part of France) and Denmark wasn't really occupied by Germans.????#

See there is the reason I say that your argument here is extremely stupid.
You have something in your mind you can't even formulate properly - you make a half-baked statement and then you defend it with a bunch of wiki quotes not because you care about them but because you want to support your gut feeling about an issue. To make it sound thought out. When in fact you didn't think about it much or at all.

You just blur out your opinion basing it on your gut feeling and claim that is a statement of a genius
No wonder people call you a dumb ass and just give up on you...
Do a better job next time will you!

the hate of Russia is a mental disorder here

That is a crap that is thrown around by as-holes that sit safely on the other side of the world. The only thing Russian they have to deal with is a mail order bride from Russia if they are lucky.

In Poland people intuitively differentiate between Russians and the Russian state whichever form it takes! Said Russian state is a messy, inefficient in most fields, authoritarian crappy regime that can't be trusted at the best times.

Especially by those who border it or are not as strong.
There is nothing to admire there, they put all the work and resources they have ( vast land mass and many ores) to maintain their existence as a power. They have nothing left to spare to improve their lives and their country because all the activity and potential is constrained or corrupted in ways that makes Russia not a very nice place to live for so called 'normal' people.

If you choose to call it hate then it is you that have a serious mental problem and this a given.

Polish collaborators

Well if occupation continues after a war for 40 years as it was the case then number of collaborators or some such would naturally increase. It doesn't make it less occupied if that is your claim..

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [71]

My take is based on the fact that I lived in Poland till 1966.

So what? Even if that is the truth, you haven't seen much have you, you haven't seen Soviets dress in 'Polish' uniforms in high places, you haven't see lone soldiers of underground surviving out there - you haven't seen AK people leaving prison after 10 years or more or coming back from Siberia.

You were petty much unaware of those facts that were happening around you.
so how the hell you dare to make such assumption based on the fact you haven't seen fully armed Soviet soldiers or tanks on every street corner..

I mean its fun and all to debate finer points of what actually 'occupation' means and which definition should we apply to a purely academical question but what your point beside being an argumentative grump?

Occupation - that word convey the fact that Poland was a subjugated nation with a puppet government created by the power and might of the Soviet union force. That same administrative positions and policing were relegated to locals means nothing and change nothing.

Not a single person. Ever.

Sure if they would they could find themslefses inside an interrogation room. Beside if you take 1960' as your reference point that was a new generation brainwashed by Soviet education and propaganda to a large extent.

Anyway could you please stop bringing up some anecdotal evidence as that is not a real evidence at all. Also when you talk about it you contradict yourself so much that it puts in question all you claimed about yourself.. Not that I care but still if you make it too obvious I'm tempted to abuse you rather that talk with you.

he US was and still is occupying Germany. E

That is what many Germans claims today/
Beside that USA occupation were not the same as Soviet one due to different natures of those countries

are they trying to mess with the license.

Well, the bottom line is that is their right. Whoever invested tinto it should have taken it into consideration.

ome blowback from the US if this continues

Its Biden and democrats, there is nothing good that Poland can expect from them..
As for foreign investment I doubt that will make firms back out of Poland.

Regardless TV station and such shouldn't be in foreign hands.

What are you?

What are you? I don't know. All I know you're a moniker on a screen.
However you claimed many times you are not Polish but an American and you are very glad because of that. Sure you can voice your opinion on issues here but on the other hand that is only your opinion.

I don't think it need to be debated.
I think you are talking out of your butthole - you had your say now move on.
what do you care about Polish take on Soviet unless you are a Soviet or a Russian yourself?
Polish take on Soviet occupation is a Polish issue and polish affairs you stay out of it. Be consistent and true to your own words.

Nobody give a F what an American, or Russian or who the hell knows what thinks about whether or not Soviet occupied Poland.
Frankly your take on that is extremely stupid.

Poland and Germany are in the EU

so what?
Taking money from a Foreign gov by a pollical party is still considered a treason or at the very least a very bad practise and a qestobalbe activity that should be condemned.

Those are international standards do you think Poland founding a German political party would be welcomed,. Do you think that German press or political establishment would stand for it? No, they wouldn[t. They wouldn't have it.

So why don't you shove your excuses. Start apologizing!

While being supported or even sponsored by the Kremlin is real shame.

BS, you and your primitive double standards no wonder Poland is treated as second class country with people like you .... All political parties taking foreign money are to be condemned you plebe.

. Still, I don't know what 'nationalists' you mean.
If you mean Konfa or national movement it need to be proved by you, bring some evidence to support your dubious claim or shut your laying gob...

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [71]

he Polish leadership followed the concept of Piłsudski

Nah, they were full of themselves and believed that Poland can singlehandedly win against Germany. Poland was ruled by an authoritarian clique which was largely inconsistent and deluded in their dealing with foreign powers.

They believed as most of Europe that Soviet Union was in disarray and is unable to conduct any major military operation.
Hitler believed that Poland was in his camp.
Polish army was tailored to fight with Soviet Union but believed to be superior to the German Army. It might have been true in 1934 but not so much in 1938, they underestimated power of German economy, and potential of their army. Even though polish intelligence provided them with very detailed and reliable info - however it was tailored by some well meaning (sucking up a-holes) aid-the camps as to their superiors likening.

I could go on in this style for a long time

So political magazines attached to a rival political fraction are producing articles where they speculate about alleged connections between Kremlin and their political opponents/ Yes, very convincing.

In the same way CNN was yapping about Trump's Russian collusion which in conclusion was proven baloney
Try harder. Some real evidence...
I mean Adenauer Foundation giving PO money is not even a secret, Same prominent PO politician at the time openly talking about suitcases full of German money handed over to the PO from some German gov agency...That person wasn't sued by anyone to this day...

If you want you can write an article calming that JK is a son of Mugabe it doesn't make it true ...I bet some country bumkin would buy it.

What was in short supply was common sense.

Not everybody is as bright as you, and full of common sense to the brim. Pity you cannot use it in real life to get some friends, and make your family less annoyed with your nagging.

Are Poles so poor they can't afford full words?

Well, dumbass in 1919 there was a war raging a plague and a general disorder so money was in a short supply and the longer the word the bigger the cost.
