Actually that is more a french thing....they are also more than happy with GB gone. That all strengthens more their half of the Union...whereas Germans are sad to see them go, both of them, as that weakens them.

Its another sign of your "unsmartness" that you keep always putting France and Germany into the same basket, as if their goals are always identical! As if they were twins, naturally joint by the hip. But we are anything but, since the times of the Roman Empire, since Gallia was conquered and Germania stayed free we have developed differently...the default line, the Rhine, cutting across Europe. You don't know your european history at all!

It's like wrong math...you will never get the desired outcome if you calculate with the wrong variables!


Who is my next leader???

I still don't understand why the mention of Judaism is so important to you? Because of its inherited elitism and its lack of proselytization (and in consequence its tiny numbers) it plays barely a role whatsoever for pagans...compared to the conquering nature of Christianity and Islam. It's an inner christian squabble anyhow I think...with Jesus having been a Jew first. Keep me out of it!


Who wouldn't allow me?

History / Świętowit/Svetovid, God of our ancestors - Does He watch over us even now? [47]


For me the christian, islamic and jewish book religions are really all the same...all imported from some far away desert....all foreign to our lands and our native peoples!

I don't discriminate in that regard! The differences are that Christianity was forced on us with the sword 2000 years back, Islam is creeping in through the back door, only Judaism doesn't try to turn me at all.

Acceptable?

History / Świętowit/Svetovid, God of our ancestors - Does He watch over us even now? [47]


Exactly!

I wish all "defenders of Europe" would start with re-discovering their true european roots...and they are pagan!

History / Świętowit/Svetovid, God of our ancestors - Does He watch over us even now? [47]

Look at the thread header...."god of our ancestors"...its true! Where is the problem? Why should he have to explain anything?

And where is the difference between Jesus and Allah? Both imported from some far away desert by foreigners, forcefully, violently....for me it's all the same...only the pagans of old, our ancestors, had been true natives of Europe and need to be defended for that!

All these christian "defenders of Europe" are abit late...

History / Świętowit/Svetovid, God of our ancestors - Does He watch over us even now? [47]

....only for Christians!

And the old gods had been here first...and not imported from some far away desert.

Shouldn't Poles support that development? After all the bad experiences with the "original" Germans over the centuries....maybe the "new Germans" will be better for Poland?

Which restrictions and regulations are you talking about?

What is stopping Poland from becoming a powerhouse???

Do you remember how the EU started out? Do you think Germany has always been a powerhouse??? We were in ruins...we just laid Europe to waste...we were the PARIAH of the world!

And do you really believe that French-German "bloc" is a given? Something natural?? Iron, we are arch enemies, have been for more many centuries...we are not real heart-friends and probably never will be, we distrust and don't like each other!

And still....we are much more powerful together and peacefully so....and it's ALL the reward for being diplomatic and smart negotiating !!!


I'm ashamed of that myself! I'm not happy with my current government, I think I made that already abundantly clear often enough in this forum. Neither what illegal immigration concerns nor that China-bootlicking...I'm also opposed to that pipeline by now.

I dream of a Brussels which would force Berlin to rethink some stuff...but for that I would need a stronger Poland...so there!

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

That's what I do....I dream of a strong EU, of a strong Europe....not being ruled in the near future by Asia, blame me!

If you fear a strong Germany more than anything else then I can't really say much more....

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


Really!

Well...if you really believe that....


Do you really think we all are naive idiots?

It's not all fine....and it won't be all fine if we don't make it so...but the EU is our all best chance to stay on top, to not fall down, to not become a pawn of other blocs in the new world order!

Why don't you take a good look at that possible future???


You nailed to problem, Iron! That annoying behaviour is NOT diplomatic and gets you nowhere, it led you only in this corner you are now in....

Germany has the same vote like anybody else....and since the Brexit most decisions don't need unanimity anymore....a majority would be enough....so Poland would need to look for allies who would support Poland with it's want and needs, it would have to advertise and negotiate its case and compromise with others if need be. If it can convince enough of other members to vote for it there is a great chance Poland would get what it wants, even if Germany would oppose it...all only one vote and all that!

But i's so much easier to blame all on big bad Germany if Poland doesn't get its way, right? So simple...

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


Who would that be?


If we now decide to throw away our mighty bloc, all of us decide to "go it alone"...then for sure! Beijing and Moscow will be left the laughing winner!

Imagine a EU with strong guarded borders, with a tough immigration policy, with a clear stance to China....but we need Poland for that. An active, diplomatic, smart Poland which builds alliances with others who think the same!

Not a Poland sitting on the fences, throwing tantrums, believing other members to be enemies, wanting to weaken the EU from the inside!

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


Simpler for sure! To declare someone an enemy is really not that complicated....
Diplomacy, negotiating instead.....all so much more difficult!


Well....maybe Poland is like GB, not being made to work in a union of so many different members, all with the same rights and votes....rather preferring to be the lone Top Dog leading their own union....as Iron said, that is much simpler (if not necessarily easier). And as I said before already, I think also Germany could survive outside of any Union...so could France...

But would Poland have the stuff to "go it alone" like GB? Successfully that is!


No, GB lost lots of influence....especially in Europe, but there is probably no "special relationship" with the US anymore either....and a new "Commonwealth" with India and the like? I seriously doubt that!

What if Scotland decides a new referendum for independence (and wins???)

But what's done it's done, and we all have to move on....those who believe the Brexit was an enormous error, a big shot in the own foot and those who are used to blame all failings on some "meddling from Brussels"! Those will need a new enemy pretty soon...as it was said, that is so much simpler!

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


When Germans can do it....surely Poles can do it better! :)

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.....

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


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!

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


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

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

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

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

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!

...remember how ridiculously long it Germany took to build an airport? So much for it's intentions....I'm quite abit disillusioned too!
