@Alien
Cause they see more then 1 million euro and think It's huuuuge (for one individual sure) but, for a states budget the size of Germany, France, Poland? Not so much, trade has far more value as it also creates workspace without the need for the government to lift a finger. While gaining cash from tariffs and sales tax

You got to be kidding me, and he has the boldness to call me an extremist!!!


For a government ruling party, I would say PiS has a large chance of winning the next elections. Unless Tusk sucessfully is able to underline PiS´s party policies that failed to reach the voters expectations. As PiS has the upperhand with creating a program and actually trying to stick to it (thankfully not allways sucessfully), PiS can easily counter anything the opposition throws at them by making a program and plans and focusing on talking about it in the media.

In what way might I ask?
I have only found it to be self-destructive in the long run. You don't mind lying?


That's your line of thought? Pathetic vs non-pathetic?

Good to know, we are nothing alike. I'll add you to my ignore list now. Don't want that line of thinking circulating in my brain

I was taking care of three black cats this weekend, didn't see any crystal balls. Should be fine

One only has to look at Tusks past behaviour and his supporters. he doesn't seem to repent nor change much. So it's fairly easy to guess what he will do.

If it was aggressive, I would come with personal threats. So far I have only demanded necessary equipment I would need if you truly meant what you wrote

News / Achievements of the Tusk's Polish government [532]


That won´t produce any results, cause Tusk can´t be trusted with any promises towards Konfederacja. He will gladly break any promise, obligations towards Konfederacja. Cause of their "anti-EU" stance

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1158]

@amiga500
That is if the entire EU doesn´t decide to exclude Poland+Hungary from it. They are perfectly fine with creating any organisation, on formal matters. Then renaming it. Like Norwegians did with creating an actual liberating army in Sweden during ww2. It was formally a police force, but what type of police uses machine guns and morter. Right? The same way the EU might create some sort of police force instead, then give it what ever equipment it needs. Don´t be stupid, if there is a will. There is a way, and americans are pushing EU to want it more and more. Otherwise this wouldn´t been even brought up at all.

Metaphorically it is used for anything chaotic, cause Polish sejm is chaotic, complicated and never simple. It´s not meant in a literal sense, as it´s a saying.

*faepalm*

People like you create the image of the Polish sejm being a political circus, just cause your bored and want entertainment... The Norwegian language is still using "Polsk riksdag" as a saying for a situation that is chaotic. That saying is over 200 years old...

@amiga500
Despite his ramblings, cause of Trump. The EU needs to make an European army, with or without Poland. I am concerned about PiS not being able to grasp this option in time. The EU might be serious about it this time, if next leader of NATO is going to be a women from Estonia, Lithuania or Croatia... God help us all

Why not accuse PiS of growing trees? Or failing to land on the moon? Even better! You can make a new slogan "They got nothing on peacocks"

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [233]

@Crow
You know that the "Central European Union" idea was just a thought, played out like a theatre play Right? It's called larping, or roleplaying. It's used as a way to understand how politics work and international relations. It's a great way to educate ones self by participating, but it was never real you know?

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [233]

@Crow
Are you saying the EU has no similarities with Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? I thought the PL-commonwealth as a predecessor of the EU.

Would you say Poland stopped being slavic by being partitioned by Prussia? Did Czechs stop being Slavs by being part of Austria?

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [233]


That´s based on the idea of a united Christian Europe, which you reject cause Belgrade ain´t gonna be the capitol. It´s openly obvious to everyone except yourself it seems

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

@Crow
That is an assessment of król Zygmunts decision to transform the Teutonic Order in to Protestant Prussia. Since the headmaster of the time was a blood relative, that changed when the Hohenzollern family gained the lands of Prussia. Effectively changing Duchy of Brandenburg in to Kingdom of Prussia, (with the title king, but only legally binding in Prussia) while remaining an elector of the HRE.

The hope of binding Prussians/Prussia to Poland/Polish nation by blood and peaceful measures were ruined by the ambitions of the Hohenzollern dynasty.

Which ultimately lead on the path of destruction which was 1939, it all started with pillaging and raids done by Pagan Prussians against the Duke of Mazovia. To the pagan Prussians different fate (compared to pagan Lithuanians) was the Teutonic orders methods of conquest by fire and sword.

(Which Poland mostly left behind, the military conquest which was done was mostly done by Bolesław the bold against Christian germans, pagan Slavs and others. Eventually at 1025 not too long before his death he was crowned by the pope King of Poland, as the first Piast to rule as king)

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [233]

@Crow
Piast dynasty (those who later on were Dukes/princes) mixed with local nobility to uphold influence locally and have ties with those who were powerful. So the Polish nobility mixing mainly exclusively within it's own social group has Piast blood (to a small degree, but still). Later on during XIX century to mend differences and the blood of Szlachta which was spilled by Polish peasants in the Austrian partition there was a trend of intermarriage between peasants and Polish nobility (Szlachta).

It's not without reason that it's written and sang in ROTA: "Z królewski sztep Piastowy", where the hymn was sung in area in Prussian/German partition that didn't have class massacre and acknowledged differences yet being United through common struggle not by blood against Prussian/German oppression.

While in Russian partition it was a mix of everything, competition with each other based on anything (class, religion, street/village belonging, nationality, subliminal behaviour towards the Tsar/non-subliminal behaviour towards the Tsar)

So Germanic partitions tended to create more co-operation, while Russian partition was far more divisive. (Just like relations between Lithuanians and Poles soured after failed uprising against the Tsar)

Poland has enough conflicts and divisions, and those wanting to settle things down and create unity has the problem with those who don't mind creating conflict. Cause they accept that conflict is to be solved openly, as soon as possible and not put ones head in the sand. By words, not by arms tho.

So it's great that Polish-Hungarian relationship still thrives on despite linguistically different languages, even in situations when Poland and Hungary were in opposing political camps.

So far Poland and Hungary are part of the EU, which I hope dearly will remain.
