News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [275]

Btw, I like how he summed up a segment of Polish society (PiS voters mainly, I guess):

"Dej! Dej!"

Translation:

"Gimme! Gimme!" (money)

;D

Really? How do you know this? I don't follow him, so I don't anything about his political views. But, surely, you must have some proof to back it up? :)


Well, judging by what he's saying in this video, he ain't stupid, so I'll treat it as a compliment, thanks :) Btw, did you at least bother to watch those two videos? What do you disagree or agree with? Any thoughts, counterarguments, besides trashing that Dziki Trener guy (and my level of intelligence)? :)

A street interview with ordinary Poles saying what they think about it:

And a video of apparently one of the most popular influencers on the Polish internet about this posted 2 days ago:



This video got over 100 000 likes on Facebook already (he's a personal trainer, btw, and not an actor or some celebrity).

I guess sending buses filled with Moscow clerks and teachers over to Katyń was too much of a work for ruling RuSSian mob lol
Plus, I don't think drawing attention to a Soviet war crime committed against Polish POWs is something that the ruling RuSSian mob would be interested in, especially considering that today's RuSSian soldiers have been committing war crimes in Ukraine since the beginning of this invasion.

You left Poland in 1966. After that time "your facts" don't matter. You don't know what years of "centrally planned economy" did to Poland. Those people who stayed and later generations know.

So:


Yes, it was sh1tty. Especially if you compare it to today's Poland.


Wtf is wrong with you? That "mob" were people who's country got invaded, their people killed, probably including their family members, friends. If you want to take out your sickening RuSSophilia on someone, then do it on Polish police and not on those people, a$$hole.

I think it means he's a good and sensitive kid. I can understand his view. Maybe he will change this view when he grows older... If not, then it's possible that he could probably use a therapy. I know from my own experience that such views don't appear out of nowhere...

Especially that...:


..."melancholy" doesn't appear out of nowhere either - there must be some reasons for it.

Sorry, but it makes no sense. So what that it wasn't called "Communist" if it was, in fact, communist :D


It's not about my likes and dislikes. Officially the PRL was a communist country. In practice, as far as I remember, what we had in Poland during PRL times was called "real socialism":

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_socialism

Anyway, whatever it was called - it was sh1tty.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [325]


That "diplomat" is part of a clique of thugs. And, knowing RuSSia, I wouldn't be surprised if he was an agent.


No, you don't have to. Officially it was a communist country and that's how it's usually commonly called.


It did. It was called "Polish United Workers' Party":

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_United_Workers%27_Party

"was the communist party which ruled the Polish People's Republic as a one-party state from 1948 to 1989. The PZPR had led two other legally permitted subordinate minor parties together as the Front of National Unity and later Patriotic Movement for National Rebirth. Ideologically, it was based on the theories of Marxism-Leninism, with a strong emphasis on left-wing nationalism. The Polish United Workers' Party had total control over public institutions in the country as well as the Polish People's Army, the UB-SB security agencies, the Citizens' Militia (MO) police force and the media."

britannica.com/topic/Polish-United-Workers-Party

"the country's communist party, which was modeled on the Communist Party of the Soviet Union."

It's not about whether laying flowers is offensive to anyone or not. It was about the fact that was an event everybody knew about - that RuSSian ambassador will lay flowers on May 9 on the Soviet cemetery. That he's going to be out and about in public - that the public will have access to him. And since he's a Kremlin mouthpiece it was pretty obvious that in a country full of Ukrainian refugees it may be a risky endeavour. I'm guessing this is why Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs advised against it.


Really? Then what was Poland between 1944 and 1989? Because it defenitely wasn't capitalist.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [325]


I do think that since the police was there anyway, they should've protected him better, because one day it may be a gun or a knife instead of a bucket of paint and then it's going to be "on us". But besides that I can't say that I feel "deeply ashamed" because human scum got some paint on his face. Ukrainians have had to deal with plenty of real blood and not red paint because of scum like him.


This was not Polish hate, but Ukrainian hate (and well founded and understandable). Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs advised the RuSSian embassy against laying the flowers considering the current situation. The ambassador went there knowing well what might happen and maybe even to provoke such situation, imho.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [325]


That was a form of protest against the war and against the RuSSian authorities who were represented by that ambassador. It's not like those Ukrainians could go to the Kremlin and pour that paint on Putin, you know. So that was the only way for them to take out their anger on someone representing that vile state.

You have to be either dumb or pretend really hard that you don't understand this.


Well, Poland didn't invade RuSSia or, let us say, Belarus, in 2022, did it.


OMG, if you think how many conventions and agreements and principles RuSSians have violated concerning far more serious matters in Ukraine then I can't say I care... Cry me a river, Kania.

Riddle 3: What is this?:

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [325]


I think this ambassador is a Kremlin mouthpiece and human scum. To be honest, I don't care if someone like that is allowed or not allowed to put flowers somewhere. Lithuania, for example, expelled the RuSSian ambassador. Poland didn't (I'm not sure why).


"Deeply"? Seriously? I'm not.


I wonder what would be your opinion about this "mob" if it was your people, your family members getting killed and your country being destroyed by the country proudly and shamelessly represented by this ambassador. Whether you'd be so "deeply ashamed" and judgemental then... :(

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [325]


They also robbed, raped and killed many Poles and burned their houses. So, even the ordinary Soviet soldiers are, let us say, controversial figures in our history and collective memory in Poland. That's why I think that graves can stay, but statues - no. Just sayin.

Off-Topic / Riddles Thread [23]


Yes!! And this is it's insignia (not the whole bat is visible - only it's wings):



Shayetet 13 took part, among others, in Operation Moses - the covert evacuation of Ethiopian Jews from Sudan during a civil war. A film was made about this operation titled "The Red Sea Diving Resort" starring Chris Evans (I wrote about this film in the movie thread in Off Topic).


I don't know who owns it ;D, but it is a real horse indeed ;) And it's not a freak of nature, but a very rare and one of the oldest existing horse breeds in the world. It comes from Turkmenistan. The unique metallic sheen of the coat of the breed led to their nickname "Golden Horses". They are also fast, intelligent and are well adapted to severe climatic conditions.

This breed is called Akhal-Teke:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhal-Teke

To be honest I'm surprised they aren't more well known and popular - like the Arabs, for example. They're such unique and beautiful horses! 😳

Nobody knows which unit it is? I don't think there are that many SF units with a bat in it's insignia... 🤔

OK, more hints then - the bat in the video is swimming, because this unit is part of the country's Navy (so it's like the US Navy Seals). And that means this country has a coastline :)

Also, this unit is a veteran unit, it took part in almost all of it's country's wars and various missions. This unit is almost as old as the state it defends. The country itself is both very old and very young at the same time. And today would be a very fitting day to guess this riddle ;)

Off-Topic / Riddles Thread [23]

They're called "Bats" because of their insignia, obviously :)

Off-Topic / Riddles Thread [23]


Nope :) Spetsnaz GRU has a whole bat in it's insignia, unlike this unit (that's a hint too :))


This riddle isn't about a Polish SF unit. This is not a thread about Poland, but a general one, about the whole world :))), so it can by a unit from any country in the world.


Yes, they do, apparently - "Bats" :) 🦇

Off-Topic / Riddles Thread [23]

Another hint:

This short video hints at one element in the unit's insignia and the environment in which this unit is designed to operate :)

Off-Topic / Riddles Thread [23]

Yes, it's a bat! A swimming bat :))) So what kind of unit could it be? 🌊🦇

Hint: this unit is considered to be among the best SF units in the world and one of the most secretive in that country's military.

@Alien, "innocent"? What are you talking about? I've read that he already admitted that he's guilty.

That seems highly unlikely to happen in a Polish prison these days:

Yes, they were living in her sister's flat together with that sister and her husband. The boy's aunt and uncle witnessed the abuse and didn't help him either:

What the f*ck is wrong with those people? I can't comprehend this.

And what about neighbours? They lived in a flat. The neighbours didn't hear the screams of a child being burned alive on a furnace??

Life / Child abuse in Poland [64]

Kamilek died today in the morning: 😭😭😭

wiadomosci.wp.pl/nie-zyje-8-letni-kamil-podano-przyczyne-smierci-6895738913508128a

This case shocked Poland lately... The 8-year-old Kamil was abused by his stepfather - he broke the child's limbs, burned him with cigarettes, poured boiling water on his body and burned him on a furnace. His burns were untreated probably for as long as 10 days with his clothes "glued" to his body. The boy's mother didn't help him. Only when his biological father visited and saw his son he called for an ambulance. Kamilek was immediately put into an induced coma in the hospital. Doctors were fighting for the boy's life since the 3rd of April. He died of multiple organ failure.

Everybody failed that little boy - institutions and adults.

May he rest in peace (finally)... 🕯️

The monster and his victim:



The b1tch known as the boy's "mother":



I honestly think having kids should be a privilege and not a right. 🤬
