News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]

....By the 18th century, destabilization of its political system brought the Commonwealth to the brink of civil war and the state became increasingly susceptible to foreign influence.[100]...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Lithuanian_Commonwealth#Political_turmoil_and_the_enlightenment_(1697%E2%80%931771)

That's what you want for Europe?

...The remaining European powers perpetually meddled in the country's affairs.[101] Upon the death of a king, several royal houses actively intruded in the hope of securing votes for their desired candidates.[102] The practice was common and apparent, and the selection was often the result of hefty bribes directed at corrupt nobles.[103] ....

Just supplant the then "foreign powers" with the future global powers....and that will be our fate too....partitioned into other non-european powers spheres of influence, without any say in it anymore!

Can't you see that?

No, the EU is not perfect....as the old Commonwealth wasn't perfect.....but Poland was better WITH IT, than without it.....the same applies to the European Union!

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


It's yours too....make it better!

There had been no Germans in the old Commonwealth, you have only yourself to blame....maybe Poland ist not good for any Union? But to survive alone ist hard too...

So why not take what you have and make it work for you?

....what a start!

Do you want the EU to end like the old Commonwealth? Was that good for Poland?

Some braindead maltese official thought that a good idea....but she was taught that it was not!

...The massive outcry in international media led Dalli to withdraw the document saying it was a work in progress and that her office is taking note of the concerns and will address them in an updated version....

I don't think so....

I believe he feels Slavs generally threatened and has to fight said threat. It's actually a nice trait not only to be concerned for one self (and maybe plus family) but also to care about your town, your country....I think that fear he feels is honest and serious!

But of course every nice trait can be misguided and develop into something hurt- and harmful...especially when the biggest threat today doesn't come from the outside but from the inside.

Crowie? Is it totally unimportant for you what kind of country that is? If it oppresses and jails and exiles and kills it's citizens? As long as it is ethnically and nationalistically "slavic" it's okay in your book? Deserving your support? No matter if it makes the lives of Slavs miserable?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

I think they did....but now it needs the approval of the member states....Poland already said it is not happy!

The European Commission on Wednesday (1 December) proposed letting member states bordering Belarus, and facing migrant flows allegedly orchestrated by Minsk, to keep arrivals' asylum claims in legal limbo for longer. But Poland called the move 'counter-productive'.

The proposal needs approval from the EU's member states to go ahead....

EU BOWS TO EASTERN PRESSURE TO WEAKEN ASYLUM RIGHTS: The European Commission will today propose allowing Poland, Lithuania and Latvia to disregard certain migrant and asylum protections. It's a major concession to the Eastern capitals, in particular Vilnius and Warsaw, who had called for more "flexibility" in dealing with migrants funneled to the EU borders by Belarus.....

Yeah....welll.....that was not a very smart move back then:

...A similar dispute between Moscow and Kiev at the start of 2006 disrupted supplies to Europe, triggering a political crisis and leading to questions about Russia's reliability as an energy supplier.

Almost a quarter of Europe's gas comes through Ukraine....

That was the birth of Nordstream 2 if I remember correctly.....to make sure no instable regime has the power to do that anymore!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine%E2%80%93NATO_relations

There were no problems....NATO didn't want Ukraine and Ukrainians didn't want NATO....but then:

....However, since Russian military intervention in Ukraine and Crimea, public support for Ukrainian membership in NATO has risen greatly. Since June 2014, polls showed that about 50% of those asked supported Ukrainian NATO membership. Some 69% of Ukrainians want to join NATO, according to a June 2017 poll by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation, ....

I can only guess but the numbers might be even higher now thanks to some not-so-smart moves by Putin....maybe something in the 90s% by now....
