"Environmental catastrophe of unprecedented proportions"

Fish kills could spread to the Baltic Sea

It is still unclear why masses of fish are dying in the Oder. However, the burdens are apparently spreading further: they could reach the Szczecin Lagoon as early as Saturday evening.

That with mercury was just a guess made by one german politician....nobody knows anything right now, we all wait for that polish institute

...

In Germany, there had previously been speculation about mercury contamination of the Oder. The Brandenburg Environment Minister Axel Vogel (Greens) confirmed reports that mercury pollution had been found in the Oder. "But at the moment we can't say that mercury is responsible for the death of the fish," Vogel said.

We don't know at the moment how they really died.

....

... So far, the State Research Institute in Pulawy has not received any fish, head Krzysztof Niemczuk told the PAP news agency.

There are so many substances that could have caused fish kills that at this point we cannot say what could be the cause.

News / Petition for War Crimes Reparations for Poland [126]


....na ja....the Danes for example got their minority status because of shifting borders....they stayed where they were only that now new borders made them Germans.

The Germans in what is now Poland (I'm talking Schlesien and Ostpreußen here) deserve their minority status the same. That happens when people find themselves as foreigners in another country without their doing.

Poland expanded westwards mightily...many Germans fled, some stayed.

Poles during the partitions living in the German Reich would had definitely deserved minority status, if such thing had existed back then. Poles after the annexations after WWII surely not. The Poles now in Germany moved there, immigrated...they chose actively to live in another country (or their parents did).

If modern Poles should get minority status, which immigrant wouldn't. Any arab/african muslim immigrant could demand the same....

There is still the little question of the "Berlinka".....

Why should they? Sorbs in the Lausitz and Danes in Schleswig have it, because they are kinda Natives....Turks and other don't, they are immigrated. Diaspora is a better name....

News / Poland, Western Europe and the USA - What if Ukraine disappears from the map? [144]


Interesting info about that:


apnews.com/article/Ukraine-Russia-refugees-Mariupol-war-investigation-31880d51ae29818b6c3b04156aae38d5

...Nearly 2 million Ukrainians refugees have been sent to Russia, according to both Ukrainian and Russian officials. Ukraine portrays these journeys as forced transfers to enemy soil, which is considered a war crime. Russia calls them humanitarian evacuations of war victims who already speak Russian and are grateful for a new home. ...

I wondered myself why Ukrainians would choose Russia....as it seems it's not at all so clear a choice....

Crowie, I fear Putin sh'its on his slavic brethren....I think that common heritage means nothing to him at all.

Merkel was so not okay.....but she had the support of most of the media.....that's why all her catastrophical misjudgements were glossed over and she was voted into office again and again.

There is not much difference between Putin's media and Germany's media.....only one is censored forcefully, the other are voluntarily boot lickers of the rulers.

I know what's worse!

The upcoming winter will show everybody how important our own renewable energy supply is....the upcomping hardships willl prove once and for all that our dependence on countries like Russia and China is a no go and needs to be stopped and reversed.

The upcoming winter will have consequences for decades to come, it will change our economical and energetically outlook....

But one thing will not happen, that we afterwards go back to how things have been done before....for countries desperate to sell their natural resources because they lack everything else it will be long term catastrophically when their services and goods are not needed nor wanted anymore.

It's the same as with NATO, Putin only strenghtened this alliance with his invasion...made NATO bigger, and more important than ever before, also with matters of oil and gas and other natural resources it will be an own goal of epic proportions.

The worse the upcoming winter becomes the sooner that happens!

...but somehow Russians lack the foresight to plan and think beyond the next year....

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]


You mean "selling"? Selling natural resources you didn't earn, you just posess? For hard money you then use to buy stuff you yourself can't produce?

You mean TRADE?

What's wrong with you.....keep your resources to yourself and do without all the western money and stuff, let's see how far you will come in a few years!


ROFLMAO

You want to look like North Korea? You will also need to build a huge wall to keep all those Russians in who would rather prefer to relocate to somewhere else....

Excuse me?

Russia is such a huge country, full of resources.....what do you need from anybody else? China likewise....and Africa is a frickin continent!

Do you mean tinies like Germany? Or Israel??? Do you need THEIR resources too? What are you talking about?

But I dunno if that explains what later happened, after all most other european Crowns didn't follow the swedish model and still kept their empires together....hmmm....
