News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]


Well...right now you are a member in a very powerful elite bloc...with a huge common market, with enormous economical and financial (and even military) clout. Your voice has the same weight as every other member. Poland has never been in a better, safer position!

It would be downright self destructive to throw that away again instead of making it work for you even better.....

I told you that before too.....it all comes down to smart diplomacy. You NEED to build alliances, rub each others back...make compromises, help others to gain their advantages so that they help you with yours. It's a long time game of "one hand washes the other"...under the radar....establish yourself as a useful player, a worthy ally!

Something which Poland traditionally seems to have problems with! More often than not finding itself caught between all stools, counting on far away not-real-allies instead of working closely with it's neighbours...pouting alone in some self made proud corner...percieved more than the annoying cog in the wheel than the helpful ally.

Besides the enmity with Germany, how many friends does Poland have in Europe it could truly count on...(besides Hungary that is, which is quite as isolated in the EU as Trump is in the US) ?

There lies your answer....it's not the EU which is making it hard on Poland!

I dare to say if Poland "doesn't make it" INSIDE the EU, it will have even less hope to be successful outside of it. With even less leverage to steer things into it's favour....outside Poland will never have the same vote count as it has right now in the EU, at the same table with the biggies. It's just a dangerous illusion!

I think it will always work for Germany....I really think that Germany would survive without the EU, the question is about Poland!

And you think an unregulated free market where economical and financial clout alone decides the prices and rules would be more favourable for Poland?

Merkel will be out by the end of this year, no use to concentrate on her on as a Feindbild anymore...


Right! And were can you do that better than from the INSIDE??? :)

But why do you think a trade agreement without the EU would be more favourable for Poland?

Don't you think there will always be a danger of an economical/trading alliance of a few big players being build...with Poland and most other middle and smaller players being forced to look on?

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]


No better opportunity to pounce on Germany, to establish Poland as an indispensable, essential mayor player....not from the outside looking in, but from quite smack in the center!!!

That's the inherent logical flaw in all visionary power plays which pits Poland against Germany outside the EU. That only weakens Poland's position, where the only option would be to wait for any future "downfall" of the whole EU!

I think we can safely say we will see a polish memorial in Berlin first before any extra reparation is coming.

Actually, one could see the ongoing payments from Brussels as a kind of reparation, especially as alot of that comes out of german money bags. And that has been ongoing for many years now...it's safe and regular....it must be some billions by now...Why don't you see it that way Spike?

Good question! After all the "Berlinka" was hardly "hidden in Poland" back then, but today it still is in Poland...

So...what do you think would happen?

So...polish towns declare themselves LGBT-frei because of some possibly added school guideline with the name of ""acceptance of sexual diversity" in Germany they disagree with?

Really?

Isn't that abit of a overkill???

They can do what they want as long as it is consentual...

But who teaches "gayism" in the first place??? Where???


I think declaring whole regions as LGBT-frei means alot more than that....

What happen's to the gay kid which pops out in such a zone and waves friendly? Teared and feathered? Or stoned first? Then a camp? Or expellation? What?

News / New European Council's report: "Poland oasis of racism, xenophobia and homophobia" ... [343]


So, what was first...the egg or the chicken?

In most other countries open LGBT are the norm as are foreigners....they are visible...makes them easier scapegoats for nutters....different to Poland where they have to hide in funny regions called "LGBT free zones"!

And if they don't want to hide and live in fear they leave....many of them coming to Germany and other western countries.

Are you proud of that?

Excuse me...called out by the world like THAT is embarassing:

...and here I keep scratching my head and wondering why you seem to not like that idea of a Kaliphate really much. After all you would fit in even better in a Kaliphate! All that terrorizing and hunting and stoning and killing of LGBT people and Jews...wouldn't that be great?

Kaliphate Poland...a wet dream come true! Right?

Do you have some numbers to support your opinion?

Because I only found that survey (June 2020):

After that there is a majority of about 64,28% having either neutral or positive feelings about that term....

Huh?

Just in case:

It's hardly (Germany) only...

....It has sparked stiff resistance in Warsaw and Budapest, where right-wing governments are adamantly opposed to a tool that could cause them to lose EU money if they continue with policies seen as eroding democratic standards.

But EU ambassadors voted by a qualified majority - around two-thirds - in favor of the rule of law mechanism despite their objections...
