Well...he still didn't get his 2 percent and as I have read his successor is busy renouncing Trumps orders....


No, he is not. This infatuation was not comparable to the outright love for Obama and it was over quite quickly. Being "not Trump" is not enough for our "weasels".....

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


In East Germany people guessed that Moscow didn't want to let their young Rotarmists see the comparably good life in the "West" (Poland and East Germany had been the "West" for them?)

They tried to block all unofficial contacts between their soldiers and the civilians with all means....surely not out of concern for the occupied people....

Nah....we still pay 1%something (about 313 million).....for that we want some service....

I don't think Germany will just look on should Russia or China or anybody else try something in Poland....our history would not allow it.....we would send what we have, even if it would not be much that at least would make it a NATO case, we are after all still an US military hub...so the US would also need to do something. Poland would not stand alone...

I really believe that most countries are quite happy with Germany not meeting any military standards anymore!

If we would take money in the hand again....rebuild the Bundeswehr....spending more....getting more involved....they would start to fret again too....

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

I just know that at one point Hitler tried to woo Warsaw into an alliance against Russia....seen short sighted it would had made Poland a Nazi ally....with all consequences....not a good outcome in the end either.

And I don't think their fate as Moscow's pawn would had looked differently if they had become an official ally of Stalin before (if that had been possible)....

It was a ****** situation for Poland, I doubt whatever it did that something, anything would had kept them free and whole....it's the fate of their geography!

I obviously didn't watch the video but Putin is generally not trustworthy regarding russian and european history though.....

Definitely! :)

I really think it was more that trumpish demands that people made more annoyed at the tone than the content....so the talks started in earnest.

Ever thought to work actively with those starting projects? It could be your career....you bring the passion for it....

It starts here:

Look for an office near you....ask what you would need to bring to the table and look for work there...that's where the future EU army will grow out of, just my two cents!

GRUNNI!!! :)

Hmm....depends! An army is a sure huge symbol of the success of inner unification and a message to outer would-be rivals...it is also a job machine for countless people from all over Europe (and with that an integrating and unifying force on its on) and a motor for scientific and technological progress and advancement all of Europe will profit from.

How efficient it really is would only a hot war show....something which I don't really want to see in my life time....

Well...I'm not hurting my head over that....there will be expensively paid people who can do that, heh:)

I had a few years spanish and quite an interest in south american affairs....I wouldn't be averse! :)

Maybe an EU army would be multilingual...why the hell not!

News / Poland to get the newest version of M1A2 Abrams tank [90]

I still think the pragmatics will win in the end and agree on English...German is no option for historical reasons....and the other choice would be French...and that is much much much more complicated and not as popular...

Probably Russia...China....immigrants from Africa and Arabia....but mainly to get away from the US led NATO umbrella and those "2 percent"....


Or we start to develop our own! :)

I have no problem with English....the problem here will be the French who will want to avoid using English at all costs! *shrugs*


Yeah...I know this joke! :)

The EU army is definitely discussed as we speak! Even if others should come forward to push for it too...or else it would be seen as a german project, for good or bad!:)

But why only Poles? I think if we look in all EU member states for those who want to be soldiers for Europe we will get enough people together....

Not throngs....a few nutters at the fringes...not more....

Not even the AfD talks of "wanting Breslau back"....quite the contrary, they support your nutters in the fight with the EU....

Maybe I don't move in the right circles but I don't know of anybody who "wants anything back"! I don't remember when I heard someone say something in that direction. We have problems to hold on to that what we have...with our declining population and rising immigration...not to mention that we don't have an army to speak of anymore....it's just not a topic anymore....it's done!

I dunno if you listened to all the speeches in Peking to celebrate the 100th birthday of the CKP? Or at least what the experts said to that?

The next conflicts will not be between the EU and Visegrad but between the West and China!

The new Cold War is already beginning, hot proxy wars will be next (with Taiwan starting maybe)....so....it will become a matter of survival for the likes of Orban NOT to be seen as chinese Trojan Horses in Europe, that should become very uncomfortable very soon!

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [599]


But it is their one and only!

If Israel wouldn't exist it would be back to haunted minority across the countries for them....no more "safe haven" in the case of need.

Everybody else living there has alternatives (especially the Arabs), the Jews don't!


They are never Germans either, the history forbids it to call them that.....

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [599]


I like them! Plucky people, survived the worst and still kicking strong!

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [599]

Well, I think as long Israel's survival is threatened daily they have all rights to demand support from its former torturers...I wish Germany would be more direct in its support not trying to appease the sultanats at the same time too!

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]


Mabe because it's not the clear cut? Many Ukrainians greeted the Wehrmacht as liberators from the Russians, Hitler even promised them their own country at first.....another big blunder!

...Reinhard Heydrich noted in a report dated July 9, 1941 that "a fundamental difference between the former Polish and Russian [soviet] territories. In the former Polish region, the soviet regime was seen as enemy rule.... Hence the German troops were greeted by Polish as well as the White Ruthenian population [meaning Ukrainian and Belarussian] for the most part at least as liberators or with friendly neutrality....

Well, the Nazis had been the most important factor during 1933 till 1945 in the (Greater) German Reich....maybe the editors think that's missing?
