History / Why could some Czechs dislike Poles/Poland? [46]

Czech love Poland coz they can buy quality products here much cheaper than in their own country. Amasing!

Polish stores are being stormed by our southern neighbors. The Czechs are looking for one product that has long since become a luxury item in their country. It is butter, a cube of which costs as much as PLN 14 in the Czech Republic. The media say that so-called butter tourism is flourishing in the country.

It is not without reason that one of the articles in the Czech media was titled " Czechs can only envy the Poles about the price of butter ". While in Poland the cost of buying a cube is not yet particularly burdensome for the wallet, across our southern border galloping inflation significantly increases the price of this spreadable fat.

Life / Wish to settle down, which country to choose - Poland or Russia? [126]

A pessimistic vision of Russia`s economic future by The Moscow Times.

onet.pl/informacje/onetwiadomosci/bedzie-to-dziwny-kraj-spelnia-sie-ponura-prognoza-dla-rosji/9skypeq,79cfc278

The article is long but very informative
The shortest summary could be: by depending on the countries of Global South in the context of trade and technology, sooner or later Russia will become such a country itself. Which means a pathetic shythole with economy going back to USSR standards 40 years ago while we are living in the 21st century and the countries of Global North, Russia`s main adversaries, are making progress all the time.

I bardzo dobrze! Na pohybel skurwysynom!!! Niech żrą korę jak bobry!! hahaha

Food / Best hypermarket to shop for foods in Poland? [50]

Dino, which has been expanding rapidly lately.

Dino is growing like a weed. In the first half of 2024, the chain exceeded 2,500 stores in Poland, opening 98 locations since the beginning of the year, which gave a total of 2,504 stores. At the end of the third quarter of this year, the chain already had 2,572 stores throughout the country, and employment in Dino reached 47.1 thousand employees. Dino is still looking for people willing to work.

Exactly! Self complacent laugh it is. Coz your population is getting bigger and bigger every year and one day you will be a powerful country. Bigger than Russia which is shrinking like crazy.
Other European countries envy you.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [96]

Breaking news on Duda:
Photos from Monday's celebrations of the National Independence Day show that President Andrzej Duda most likely lost the tip of the middle finger on his right hand , which is noticeably shorter and still swollen. Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland Wojciech Kolarski commented on this matter, appearing on Wednesday in the program "Morning Talk on RMF FM".

While doing some housework, the president injured himself quite seriously. A minor operation was necessary, but now everything is fine. [...] It happened to the president as it unfortunately can happen to any person.


Can you imagine???

News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]

So he has already lost.

Exactly. Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk frequents this forum from time to time to read what his loyal voters think. And he fully realises we don`t like Sikorski as a Pres coz he tends to behave like a spoilt brat aka current Pres Duda. Mr Trzaskowski is a much more agreeable jolly good fellow. Ha!!!!

Mr Sikorski, stick to the function which suits you best aka FM. You can be one for a few decades, I have nothing against. But you would make a lousy President. Don`t even try.

74% of Civic Coalition voters support Rafał Trzaskowski's candidacy in next year's presidential elections - according to a poll by the Pollster Research Institute. Less than one-fifth of Donald Tusk's party supporters see Radosław Sikorski as the candidate. The results of the internal primaries will be announced on December 7.

News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]

Mr Sikorski, one of KO candidates, sulked when an interviewer asked him about his wife`s roots which are Jewish. Ann Applebaum is a known American journalist. `The interviewer mentioned it in reference to one of Sikorski`s anonymous party buddies who suggested Anne`s background might be a problem in the coming election.
Sikorski made a fuss, left the studio without saying goodbye and later in social media accused the interviewer of spreading antisemitism.
Amasing!!!

Sorry, I don`t want such a President who takes offence like a kindergarten child when they ask about things known to wide public. I have had enough of Pres Duda`s infantile behaviour.

file some paperwork with the IRS

cancel their American citizenship.

Are these two things synonymous??
Canceling means you can`t travel to the US so easily and whenever you wish???

Amasing! Do you mean Polam is wrong on those taxes????? Is it possible that as a native American, and a lawyer by education, he perceives the taxation matter so erroneously???
I can`t believe it. It can`t be true. Simple.

News / 11th November Independence Day in Poland [73]

organized by nationalists?

It was them who came up with the idea a dozen or so years ago. And they have stuck to it till now. Nobody else wants to do it with them which shows how isolated they are.
Comically, PiS politicians joined it today although they had ignored it when in power. Catching at a razor they are.

News / 11th November Independence Day in Poland [73]

they only show short cuts of it and change topics

That`s what all media in Poland do. You would have to find some nationalist streaming site but I haven`t heard of any - they don`t have enough funds to make such real time coverage.

History / Benefits of being Polish nationalist: is there any? [17]

One of the benefits is taking part in the nationalist Independence March across Warsaw.
- We estimate that the 15th Independence March in Warsaw will be attended by around 100,000 people - Aleksander Kowaliński, spokesman for the Independence March Association, told PAP. Vice-president of the Association Jakub Kalusa added that "the interest is certainly greater than in previous years, so we expect the number to be greater".

The organization of the march involves about a thousand volunteers, over 15 ambulance and rescue teams in ambulances, two staff vehicles and over 200 paramedics on foot patrols.

The President of the Independence March Association, Bartosz Malewski, reminded us that this year's slogan of the March - "Great Poland's power is us" - is a fragment of the youth anthem from 1926 by Jan Kasprowicz. - This is the anthem that we sing as nationalists, very often at our celebrations.

News / 11th November Independence Day in Poland [73]

Coming from East
Coming from West
There was Poland on the first.

said Marshall Piłusdski about the unexpected, though long craved, resurrection of Poland.

There was Poland

I suppose a better sounding translation would be

Coming from East
Coming from West
There came Poland on the first.


said by Piłsudski, of course. By the first he meant the beginning of the month which could be 1st December 1918 when the newly reborn Poland started putting on real flesh. By East or West he meant all Polish lands which once were settled by Poles/Polesses.

Life / Polish fences - complete anthology [74]

Another big and long fence at the eastern border was erected to keep off migrants sent to Poland by autocratic regimes

The fence is being improved with 2 horizontal bars which are to prevent migrants from splaying out its main poles. They used car jacks to make a wide gap between posts.

A very good article on all protective measures implemented on the border.

History / Poland: Her heroes and her traitors [239]

Rightists have a huge propensity for trechery committed on their own country.
E.g., one of the PiS politicians publicly announced he was going to deliver a file containing unfavourable statements by representatives of the current government to Trump's circles. A few years ago Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk suggested that Trump was working for imperial Russians.

Why are rightists such traitors??? They already started in Targowica 250 years ago when they sold Poland to Russians.....
