Lotnik do you realize what you're saying? Name me at least one country that have recently started war(s) with the US. Iraq? lol

All I'm saying and you probably don't understand is that Iran is trying to start a war it's heading towards it!! I didn't say they did start one!

And what's I'm saying is that it is highly unlikely. Nobody has recently invaded the US, vice versa the US invaded other countries. And the Achmadinezhad's rhetoric towards the US to the large extent caused by apriori hostile attitude of the US and their permanent will to stick its nose wherever it's possible.

and if you haven been paying attention that I'll just remind you that Iran just fired a satellite in to space.

I see you didn't pay attention to mine post. Launch of satellite is a bluff.

The US makes it as if there're loads of enemies all around and they all dream about attempt upon American "democracy" and that serves for the only purpose of puffing up military budget and get out unpunished after Iraq-like oil-operations.

Kapustka

That's a lovely way to say "cabbage" in Russian (the regular way is "kapusta"). I think it has the same meaning in Polish but there's always a room for "false-friends". I'm afraid I can't say anything else on your name.

Perhaps she is ethnically from Ukraine, but became Polish with the border changes? I don't know, but I figure anywhere around the Carpathian Mountains also means Southeast Poland, which may increase the probability of a Russian last name?

Even though there're lots of "Kapusta" and "Kapustka" in Russia I would look for the origins in Ukraine or Belarus or Krasnodarskij Kraj of Russia. Historically those are places where people have liked traditionally to pick as a last name some nouns, especially related to animals like "Volk" (wolf), Zajac (hare) etc. Considering the place you mentioned (Carpathian mountains) there's also an opportunity that your forefather might be Ruthenians (Rusini).

Russian policy towards Poland is hostile.

Nor Polish is better.... Agggrreeeee?! :)

Boring is that you never attemt to see things in a positive way. I do realize that there're currently lots of problems and mutual jabs between two our countries but the position like "you're hostile and we're shiny friendly thence f*ck off" is not constructive at all and doesn't any facilitate to resolve the issue. The strength of the whole is in the power of single; and the more of those who care not shutting his eyes on the problems, the better we get along. I do believe in our really friendly future... unlike to you, I guess.

After Poland other countries will be in danger.

Oh yeah... sure... Poland first of all as the hub of the Universe. It's like to carry out surgery on eyes through the rectum. Don't you think so?

Poland doesn't have gas.... we have paid for this gas

Could I read about it? In other words... links?

Why Russia cut off only Poland ?

Why is Polish international policy based on opposing to Russia?

But...but...but...they so LOVE this mantra!

I wish it wasn't true.. :((

Prince, my questions:

1) do you personally suffer gas shortage?
2) why are you sure that Poland suffers gas shortage? considering your government's mainstream I wouldn't be any amazed if they simply made it up.

3) If this true, why are you so sure that it's Russia that should take responsibility for that shortage?

My general question is "are you sure that your view on the whole is not affected by some of your personal preferences which don't have anything to do with the objective reality"? I think that you should clear your mind of prejudices first.

Poland is more reliable country than Russia.

Well... if you say so. Your word is the best proof.

Good quality and quite cheap, I recommend. :)

Nice to hear that. :) I didn't know we'd produced compasses after the USSR collapse.

For the same reason why Russian foreign policy was so concentrated on the Baltic states. Politicians must turn attention of the masses away from themselves.

Agree with the last sentence as for the first one I wouldn't have said they we concentrated but they did puff up antirussian moods in Baltic States to distract Russians from their actual problems.

Russia won't ever do anything bad to Germany, since she will be afraid of being cut from delivery of exceptional and exquisite German goods.

Richy you merely don't undertand the ABC of a diplomacy. If two countries get along well why should they do anything bad towards each other?! In your case considering that all Polish foreign policy is based on opposing to Russia, do you think you have any reason to expect some nice attitude from our Gov-t back? I guess no...

this is why we oppose it and use the ecology card,

And drive to Belorussia to fill your tanks up? Yes Russia is dominating... but isn't the prices they offer cheap? I would personally prefer to see our country not selling any resources abroad... so that you would "enjoy" the opportunity to check prices of other suppliers.

Why do you like so much to compare some bygone superpowers with the actual state of affairs? Russia is not the USSR, Germany is not fascist anymore. Both are run not by Hitlers (Stalins). Why should you expect any surprise? You still at the times of Katyn... maybe that's the issue.

moronic actions that make Europe dependent on Russia are not responsible and should be opposed with all tools available or the consequences will be severe to the entire Europe Germany included.

Europe will anyway be dependent on somebody's natural resources, id est on some particular country. If not Russia then anybody else but I'm afraid that won't make them (resources) for you:

- cheaper
- guaranteed

Russia is not a stable and trustworthy partner

You mean so-called gas conflict? I see the guilt of Russia there pretty slight comparing to Ukrainian one. However I don't deny Russia played some negative role in all that.

Russian resources are no longer cheap and the price is growing

Great times of the cheap gas (you meant gas, didn't you) are left behind. Now it's growing for citizens of Russia as well.

Russia instigated the conflict but Ukraine is to blame too

I agree in a way.

the point is that Russia could have played it differently, it could start alternate routes through Belarus for example but it didnt

She did. Seriously, or elsewise you would suffer a stronger deficiency. The problem is that the route through Belorussia technically can't ensure needs of all customers.

Because it's right into bullseye example

Don't give me your bull. :)

It hurts, doesn't it?

Well... only if you want it. :)

No, don't answer - let me guess: it's Ukraine stealing it, of course...

I'm not trying to talk you into. I wouldn't really mind, if you didn't buy our gas and oil. In this case Russia will have to get back to her industry which is essentially my dream.

Russians want Poland.

Russians are either friendly or don't give a sh!t about you... and the second option is what I'd worry about, if I were you Princy.

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

Based on the newest genetic studies it is the Ukrainians who are the closest to us my blood,

Belorussians are the closest to you. "The newest genetic study" you mentioned was likely to be about politics rather than real state of affairs.

History / Famous Russian Poles [243]

Kostia, privet!

Yanko- exposes his ukrainian origin.

His last name could have been transferred for several times. Afterall I wouldn't assert he's not any related to Poles. At least I found a couple links proving that (also see post#1 of this thread). What did you find?

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

Pennboy, different professors make different studies. Surfing the internet you may easily find two diametrically opposite points on the genetics which would contradict each other (I for one have recently found the article "Scratch Russian... get Pole" with a study for it). On the whole I don't tend to thoroughly believe in any of them since the often tied up with political intrigues. So I'm trying to base on the common sense: Ukranians are mostly dark-haired for many factors including early Tataric&Don-Sursk influence whereas Belorussians are mostly blond. The info you're asking about I learnt from the article written by Ukranian author who claimed that in fact there were only two Slavic nation: Belorussians and Poles. All others can be hardly reckoned as Slavic. I don't think it's any biased and I somewhat share it. Btw Belorussian (the initial one, not the current Russianized version of it) is closer to Polish than any other language. And even the current version is so close that Belorussian lady and her Polish husband doesn't strongly need to study each others language since they understand one another quite well.

I myself have nothing against Russians

Neither have I against Poles.

western Ukrainians look more like Polish people, and their language seems close to Polish as well

True. But their group is insignificant on the scale of all Ukranian nation and they stand apart of the rest of the nation. I equally respect Ukranians, Belorussians and Poles. There's no interest for me to say that exactly Belorussians are closer to Poles; this is just what I feel basing on my life experience and knowledge I've got. There's always room for mistake.

EDIT: I'm glad Slavs deal good with each other being abroad. :)

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]

of the surname rybicki

Sounds like it's related to the word "fish" which is more or less similar in all Slavic languages - "ryba". "Fischer" would be in German. "Fisher" in English. "Rybakov" or "Rybkin" in Russian. That's a very popular last name in all the countries.

Korab

Korabl' is still the main word used for "ship" in Russian.

Is the Szczerbacki surname is variant of Shcherbatsky ?

In Russian they would be spelt similar way. Like this

Щербацкий

In Polish I guess the first variant is more proper.

I think you are wrong and mis-guided,

Perhaps. I don't insist on that and I believe there should be some time passed after which we would be able to finally assess him.

if Russia puts long-range bombers in Cuba or Venezula...

I don't think Russia would do that, unless the US put their missiles in Europe. Honestly speaking I think Russia won't do it ever. :) In case the US put their missiles here, we're as you rightfully said, bacj to the Cold War. Let's wait, time will show. I admit my conclusion was too hasty.

Ok. :) Just let them know as they don't know about it yet.

Its something like sado-masohism, considering that working against Serbians, Poland working against its strategic partner

How comes? :) The troops earn money. They're Polish, not Serbs. They're hardly obsessed with any kind of panslavic feelings. Same was with Ukrainian troops in Kosovo.
