History / Battle of Vienna - history movie about Poland / Commemoration [36]

I would be proud to have some Neanderthal in me...that would make me double NATIVE, heh:)

But frankly all that "dying out" talk is useless...not even the Native Americans have died out....not to mention that they too hadn't been native to the Americas but immigrated from somewhere else.

What you really fear is the end of the Western Civilization as you know it, the top spot for a few white people getting lost...that could happen in the future...but that isn't synonymous with "dying out" which only can happen if your DNA gets deleted from the gene pool. And frankly, watching more and more Afro-Americans with the phenomenon of blue eyes (THE definitive proof of heritage for Europeans) I doubt that very much.

I wish you would vocalize your fears more clearly!

The mainstream 30 years back was IMHO (at least in the West) also a lot more conservative/rightist.

The mainstream was different 30 years back!

Well....if that's so then he deserves all the CNN reporter of this world!

That's what I wonder! What would have made this man even mention these studies in a political speech, no matter where. What point exactly was he trying to make with that?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

Why did he make it to a topic at all? Does that have anything to do with his politics?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


Well, that article gives proof that there is something to that, men and women differ in many ways, this is a fact....but that is a far cry away from "women are dumber than men". I think most people object to THAT, and that isn't a scientific fact at all!

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


I never heard of that....do you have a link?

Agreed...it's a similar revolution as the invention of the letter print machine once was.

That didn't start with the Internet.....to listen to several news sources is an old thing....just remember back to WWII or the times of the Cold War. Radio waves couldn't be hold back by the Iron Curtain. People in East Germany even watched West TV when they could. It was also a propaganda war!

It's not so much a question of availability but trustworthiness. A survey found out that a majority of Germans still watch and believe the "mainstream" news, even as they inform themselves also through various Social Media. The Internet has become an addition, not a full replacement.

The tipping point, where a majority completely distrusts the mainstream media and only believe their own opinion bubble has not been reached....yet. Maybe will never.

Wouldn't that be cool? That would give Poland's voice much more weight...

I wonder what that would mean for Warsaw's policies in Brussels....and it's alliances...


Neo-Marxist, Islamic AND Nazi!!! WOW!!!

First Poland would need to become a net payer too...

Next step in the game:

Blaming NATO for calling up his own military!

Possible step after that:

Using his own troops to "rescue" Belarus from foreign invaders (NATO) / aka forcefully suppressing protests...asking comrade Putin for help (optional).

I think such numbers are giving most people goosebumps (and bad memories)...

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


I really don't think any of it is on the cards for Belarus anytime soon....(even if they wanted to).


I can only think that a lot of Belorussians had been just put off by Lukashenkos latest election fraud...he must have overestimated his people's humour...


Agreed! The reactions in Berlin to the happenings in Belarus are only lukewarm and halfhearted blah at best...


...same here!

What aspirations do they have?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


Yeah....the EU was no big player in Ukraine, and she won't be a big help in Belarus either. The people there seem to know that...

Well...he is already landed in Tegel and on his way to the Charitè...


Agreed! Especially the people in Belarus....and they should decide who comes after him, nobody else, not Putin and not the EU!

Poland IS in EU and NATO, Crowie....

When you talk about a conflict between Russia and EU/NATO (and their consequential collapse of course) you talk about a conflict with Poland (and its consequential collapse of course). There is no other way.

If the US stays out of it they will let Poland hang out to dry....special relationship with Trump or not!


As far as I see it Nawalny is on its way OUT of Russia, not on his way IN to Russia! :)


Surely!

Both, Russia and Germany (and Belarus come to think of), need to limit the time someone is allowed to rule the country...

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


So...Russia could threaten Poland with nukes and you think it is better when the US do nothing when things escalate?

Btw....Nawalny is on his way to Berlin, so I've just read...

The EU (Poland too) is not recognizing the outcome of the latest Belarus election...meaning Lukashenko.

Spiegel reports Lukashenko secured himself Putin's support already....he promised "extensive help"!

Would Russia really send troops if pushes come to shove?

...it's a sign, not much more. The rest will depend on the outcome.

Before a request of inspection was declined by the responsible Bergamt Stralsund. Now the Umwelthilfe want's to force it through a court decision.

Here some background info about the DUH in English:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_Action_Germany


They are quite mean! Their dissuasions are mostly legally sound and can be very expensive...they are very unpopular and even feared by politicians and business leaders...they love to force people and whole companies to court and to punish them with hefty fines when they see the environment endangered.

Think about a club of green tinged money thirsty and merciless lawyers! :)

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]

....even as Nordstream is nearly done already it seems even the in Germany very powerful climate "lobby" is against Nordstream now...only Merkel is still missing. Wouldn't be the first time she changes her opinion about 180°, why not here?

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]

Interesting...

The association "Deutsche Umwelthilfe" is going to court (in Stralsund) to revoke the operational licence for Nord Stream 2.

They say new scientific findings show that the pipeline leaks unhealthy "climate gas" Methane (much worse than CO2)...and that with these findings the construction would had never been allowed in the first place.

At some time even Islam has to develop....move forwards....I think the westernized muslims will play an important role in that....sooner or later....

A muslima in Berlin founded the first mosque where men and women (unveiled) can pray together side by side...and female preacher are allowed too...gays and lesbians too...of course it doesn't sit well with the most hardcore muslims from the Dark Ages, but's it's in Germany, under western laws and so they have to suck it up! :)

What I would like to know....Christianity became so big through conversions....from a tiny desert cult to a sprawling world religion....why don't they see all these masses of coming immigrants as potential future Christians to fill the empty churches again?

There could be a new wave of power and influence to be had.....not feeling threatened by everybody foreign....dying out slowly but surely as of now (especially in Germany).

Serious thinking here!
