@gregy741, I'll comment once you answer my question :):

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]

@gregy741, Wałęsa talked about dismembering Russia (making it a smaller state, and, hence, with smaller population) in case the political system/regime couldn't be changed. He was talking about all those "ethnic" republics in Russia getting independence. Surely, you wouldn't be against that, if they wanted it, considering how much you support the "independence" of DPR and LPR?


Unlike in Russia in Poland governments change. Tusk's party during campaign promised to pull out Polish troops out of Iraq and that was one of the reasons I voted for his party. So, unlike Russians, Poles are reformable and able to change their governments - so there's no need for "dismembering" of Poland, according to Wałęsa's logic.


Wałęsa wasn't calling for mass murder, you idiot.

News / Piotr Kraśko - road to perdition [9]


Yeah, I am disappointed with him. He seemed like a nice, decent, warm guy. There was also news recently about Tomasz Lis being accused of mobbing, sexism and homophobia by his employees. He was showing a different face to the "outside world", of course. It's kind of scary - you don't know who people really are...


As for trees - since PiS came to power there has been a problem with trees disappearing from forests into unknown destinations, while the prices of wood keep getting higher and higher in Poland.


In case you haven't noticed PiS has been in power for 7 years already and they've become the new elites. And, unfortunately, they surpassed the previous government in all the crappy stuff possible - nepotism, greed, fishy shenanigans, arrogance, lies, hate, stupidity, hypocrisy, lack of professionalism, wasting public money, etc.

Sadly, our elites, whether those are politicians, journalists, TV presenters (Jarosław Jakimowicz from TVP, for example) celebrities (Beata Kozidrak's drunk driving, for example) or the Church, are the reflection of our society. So, there's nothing to be happy about or to gloat about. It's depressing.

Po polsku / Wolności słowa w Polsce nie ma?? [93]

@Cojestdocholery, ale w USA też są ograniczenia, więc tam też nie ma absolutnej wolności słowa. A więc według Twojej logiki też można by powiedzieć, że w USA "nie ma wolności słowa". Co oczywiście byłoby głupotą, bo jest. W Polsce też jest, a to że jest więcej ograniczeń niż np. w USA i Tobie osobiście wydają się chaotyczne, czy nie rozumiesz z czego wynikają, nie oznacza, że wolności słowa w ogóle nie ma lol Bo jakbyś wtedy określił to co jest np. w Korei Północnej? Tam to dopiero naprawdę nie ma wolności słowa. Więc jakbyś opisał różnicę między Polską a Koreą Północną w tym zakresie? I w Polsce i w Korei Północnej nie ma wolności słowa, tylko że w Korei Północnej nie ma jej bardziej? lol

Dlatego uważam, że Twoje stwierdzenie, że "w Polsce nie ma wolności słowa" jest bez sensu. W Polsce jest mniej wolności słowa niż w USA, ale ona istnieje.

Po polsku / Wolności słowa w Polsce nie ma?? [93]


No to jeśli według Ciebie w Polsce nie ma wolności słowa, to nigdzie jej nie ma. Już Ci napisałam, że w żadnym państwie nie ma absolutnej wolności słowa. W każdym są jakieś wyjątki. W żadnym państwie nie ma też absolutnej wolności osobistej, bo wszędzie są jakieś prawa ją ograniczające - nie możesz kogoś zabić, zgwałcić czy okraść, bo masz akurat na to ochotę.

I co to znaczy, że jest "uznaniowa" według Ciebie?

Po polsku / Wolności słowa w Polsce nie ma?? [93]

@Cojestdocholery, wolność słowa w Polsce jest, ale nie absolutna - są pewne ograniczenia, np. dotyczące propagowania totalitaryzmów lub nawoływania do nienawiści na tle różnic narodowościowych, etnicznych, rasowych, wyznaniowych albo ze względu na bezwyznaniowość:

statystyka.policja.pl/st/kodeks-karny/przestepstwa-przeciwko-13/63613,Publiczne-propagowanie-faszyzmu-nawolywanie-do-nienawisci-art-256.html

Nie sądzę żeby istniało na tym świecie państwo gdzie by istniała absolutna wolność słowa. Nawet w USA są pewne ograniczenia, np. dotyczące pornografii dziecięcej.

@Velund, you didn't answer mafketis' question.


So? At some point Kaliningrad belonged to Poland, at another it was a feoff to Poland. Should we take it back? lol

Also, Soviet Russia accepted the independence of both Estonia and Latvia in 1920 and later the USSR also recognised their independence in 1991.


But the US PAID for Alaska, so, you know, maybe you'll get lucky enough and Russia won't reach for it with it's sticky fingers, haha :D

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]


Poland didn't invade Germany to "save" Poles living there. Nazi Germany invaded Poland giving the same reasons that Putin gave for invading Ukraine. Poland was reacting to a German invasion, it was defending it's territory, just like Ukraine is.

And Ukraine isn't invading Russia.

Also, that's some really bad/stupid comparison with Hitler - if he wasn't defeated many more people would die, actually - not only Jews, but also Slavs. A completely different situation than with Zelensky and Ukraine. If Russia pulled out of Ukraine - the killing would stop. So, perhaps it's you who should ram your head against a wall (I doubt it will help though).


Russia started it in the first place!


Indeed.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]


My observation is that his feeling of superiority and having more rights than other countries is flowing out of pro-Putin Russians on this forum and out of those pro-Putin Russians I and other Poles discussed with over the years. Plus lack of moral values, empathy, respect for human life, etc. When you combine all of this you get what you can see happening in Ukraine...


Noone would die in Mariupol if Russia didn't attack it. Noone would die in Ukraine if Russia didn't invade it. This is a simple fact. This is the reality that you are in denial of. You don't save your people by killing them. Russia claims it invaded Ukraine to save Russian speaking people, but as result... many more Russian speaking people are dying daily. Where is logic in this?


Lies, lies, lies.

And countries have the right to defend themselves from an invasion, ffs. The blood of people of Mariupol is on Russia's hands.

*this feeling of superiority

@gregy741, I'm not writing any "pseudo intellectual dribble" or "idiotic rusophobia". I'm presenting facts to you.

I presented to you and others what Wałęsa and Morawiecki really said.

I also debunked your lie that Russian was banned in Ukraine or that Russia is "saving" Russians in Ukraine.

Which reminds me - gregy741, could you answer this question?:


Are the lives of people in Mariupol somehow less valuable to Russia than of those living in Donetsk and Luhansk republics?


Exactly.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]


You seem to forget how much death and persecution the Soviet Union and it's communism unleashed upon this planet. But, yes, there are some similarities in Russian and American outlook which is why the US is hated in some parts of the world. So don't be surprised that Russia is hated in some parts of the world too.


Are you talking to Morawiecki or to me? You do realise that it's a quote from Morawiecki, right? lol


Yeah, and even though in Russia there are, in theory, other official languages in various republics, the reality is that the education is mainly taking place in Russian. A quote from Wikipedia:

"Every year the Russian Ministry of Education and Science publishes statistics on the languages used in schools. In 2014/2015 the absolute majority (13.1 million or 96%) of 13.7 million Russian students used Russian as a medium of education."

And in Karelia (a historical province of Finland) the only official language is Russian.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]

@gregy741, don't be an idiot, or don't pretend to be one. Noone said that "russian cultural world must be destroyed". Morawiecki said that "Russkij mir" ideology should be rooted out through de-Putinization of Russia. It's all in that first Polish article I linked to. Just read it.

A quote from that article (from Morawiecki):

"Putin's 'Russkij Mir' ideology is an analogue of the 20th century communism and Nazism. It's an ideology with which Russia is justifying imaginary rights and privileges for it's country. It's also the basis for the story of a 'special historic mission' of the Russian nation. In the name of this ideology Mariupol and tens of Ukrainian cities have been razed to the ground"


You mean listening to that Russian guy on Russian state TV, surely? You know, that one who said that 2 mln Ukrainians should be killed?


Lies, lies. Noone needed to be protected, defended in Crimea, etc. I'd like to remind you, again, that it all started with Crimea - Russia invaded Crimea in February 2014. Why? Was something bad happening to people in Crimea? No. But it's a strategic territory and that's why Putin wanted it.


Because part of Ukraine is historical Polish lands. Of course, majority of Poles were deported from there by Soviets or were either massacred or fled UPA's ethnic cleansing. So, you could say that there's no reason for Poland to take those lands, since few Poles live there nowadays. But Russia is also invading lands where majority of people don't want their forced version of "Russkij mir". Russia tried to take Kyiv. Russian army is occupying, for example, Kherson, where many people were protesting against the Russian invasion and were waving Ukrainian flags. So why are they taking lands where they are not wanted? Who are they "saving" there?

And how did Russia "save" Mariupol by razing it to the ground and by killing it's people? Could you explain this to me, gregy741? The lives of people in Mariupol are somehow less important than of those living in Donetsk and Luhansk republics?

And Russian language wasn't banned in Ukraine. Stop lying, gregy741.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]


No, he didn't say that. He meant the "Russkij mir" ("Russian world") ideology:

"»Russkij Mir« is a cancer that should be rooted out". The prime minister about the criminal Putin's ideology:

polskieradio24.pl/5/1223/Artykul/2955486,%C2%BBRusskij-Mir%C2%AB-to-rak-trzeba-go-wykorzenic-Premier-o-zbrodniczej-ideologii-Rosji-Putina

About the concept of "Russkij mir" in Wikipedia:

pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russkij_mir_(ideologia)

Quotes by Morawiecki:

gov.pl/web/primeminister/prime-minister-mateusz-morawiecki-during-the-strategic-ark-conference-i-call-for-isolation-of-the-president-of-russia

"Criminals must be judged, and the Russian World ideology must be defeated and eliminated," assessed the Prime Minister.

world-today-news.com/polish-pm-wants-to-destroy-russian-world-kremlin-responds-with-lightning-speed/

"Russia's world is a cancer that poses a deadly threat to the whole of Europe. Therefore, it is not enough to support Ukraine in its military struggle with Russia. We must completely eradicate this monstrous new ideology," he said.

And just like in case of Wałęsa, Morawiecki's words were a reaction to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and to what happened in Bucha, Irpin, etc. It's because Russia justifies invading and dismembering other countries with this "Russkij mir" ("Russian world") ideology:

dgap.org/en/events/russkiy-mir-russian-world


LOL
You're such a stupid hypocrite, gregy741 :D


I didn't associate that guy with all Russian people. I was showing his "performance" as an example of what's going on on Russian state TV - how far gone it is.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]

@Velund, you must be talking about Putinists :/

In case someone didn't read the whole article and thought that Lech Wałęsa suddenly turned into an advocate of mass murder - this is what the article reports he said:

'at present it is necessary to change the Russian political system or even "organize an uprising of the peoples" in Russia. Walesa expressed the opinion that "global security" can only be ensured by "the dismemberment of today's Russia.'


It isn't anymore disgusting than what Russia is doing to Ukraine. So, gregy741, when Kali steals someone's cow then it's OK, but when someone steals Kali's cow then it's "disgusting"? lol

I am not advocating for this, btw, but from moral standpoint Russia totally deserves getting "dismembered", not only because of what it did and is doing to Ukraine, but also because of what Russia has done in the past to other countries. What's worse, Russia hasn't been only "dismembering" other countries, but it's been also stealing their lands and even people.


How do you know that? Did you make a poll?


Firstly, his words are a reaction to the invasion of Ukraine, you dumbass:

ukrainetoday.org/2022/07/10/former-polish-president-walesa-urged-to-reduce-the-population-of-the-russian-federation-to-50-million/

Quote:

'Even if Ukraine wins this war, in five years we will have the same thing, and in ten years we will see the emergence of another Putin. If changing the country's political system is impossible, only the dismemberment of today's Russia will ensure world security," Walesa said.'

Secondly, even if he said that (and he didn't) before the invasion, how on Earth views of a former Polish president, who's famous for talking before thinking, would justify invading Ukraine? Gregy741, do you have no shame, no brain, no nothing??

I'd like to add that some members of this forum - Russians, Serbs and even one neo-Nazi Pole, I think, proposed Poland to join in Russia in the "dismemberment of today's Ukraine". I hope you find it "disgusting" too, gregy741? :)

News / Lukashenko - removes graveyard - AK resistance fighters [51]


This is the only case (Nowy Sącz) from the links posted by you in which Soviet soldiers' remains were exhumated and moved to a cemetery and it happened only because Russians agreed to that.


It does to normal people.


Their sons didn't fight the Nazis. Their sons are invading a neighbouring country with Goebbels-like propaganda on their lips.

News / Lukashenko - removes graveyard - AK resistance fighters [51]

@Cojestdocholery, razing to the ground a cemetery of soldiers who were fighting against the Nazis shows to the world just how inhumane, amoral and unhinged Lukashenko is. I don't think even his Russian masters can support something like that, considering that their propaganda is based on claims about fighting the "Nazis". So, he's embarrassing himself in front of the world, not Poland.

Of course Poland should react, but in such a way as to not give Lukashenko what he wants, while leaving him looking like a deranged savage :)


How do you know?

News / Lukashenko - removes graveyard - AK resistance fighters [51]


Yes, he is and if he's doing that it means he has a purpose in that, so the smart and logical thing to do would be not to give him what he wants.


So, why aren't you telling Russians to move from Ukraine to Russia?


I doubt it - you wouldn't move from PRL to the US then. Belarus under Lukashenko's rule is one big PGR.

@Novichok, then according to your logic, people born in Eastern and Southern Ukraine are Ukrainians and if they are still "Russians" their Russian asses should have been taken to the curb a long time ago :)


Or... it was supposed to provoke Poles to make some kind of retaliation for this act of barbarism, so it could be shown on Belarusian TV with a proper commentary: "See, Poles hate Belarus and Belarusians for no reason at all..." If that's the case we shouldn't allow ourselves to get provoked by this. Perhaps Lukashenko is trying to put a wedge between Poles and Belarusians...


Bad idea, I think. Lukashenko would probably want that. We should keep our heads cool.

Incomprehensible... It must've been an act of pure hate on Lukashenko's part or reckless, blind revenge, because I can't explain it in any other way... Especially that there are Poles still living in Belarus - how they've must've felt? We respect the graves, even of our enemies...

How many are you ready to torture? How many are you ready to send for years to labour colonies? How many are you ready to deport from their homes? HOW MANY, VELUND??

So, how many Ukrainians are you going to kill? That psycho on Russian state TV said that it should be around 2 mln people. Do you agree with this number? Or do you think it would be less? Or more?

News / Poland, Western Europe and the USA - What if Ukraine disappears from the map? [144]


I think Cojestdocholery is right - Putin & Co probably are or were convinced that they can destroy and terrorise Ukraine to such an extent that Ukrainians will give up, like the Chechens did. Russians have a lot of experience with terrorising their own people and others. It seems they have it in their blood and maybe they're thinking it will work this time too. I think they're wrong though. Ukraine isn't Chechnya.

There are also those like Velund who seem to be completely deluded and don't know and don't understand the Ukrainian nation:



As we can see such delusions and lack of understanding of another nation are a very dangerous thing, because they have just led to a full scale war.
