Really? Would Russia ignore and not worry if China invaded Kazakhstan? Not only failed to do so, but Russia supply arms and weapons to Kazakhstan?

Then not worry wether China would cease to exist and pop up like a broken vase with new regions governing itself worrying about the implications it might bring. The future of Russia's eastern borders?

You hope and wish for everyone in the world to be irresponsible and ignore the situation at hand? While people are getting killed on a daily basis in Ukraine.

Him and his clique are delusional, Putin still harboured resentment for the reaction of American politicians smirks and subtle laughter of his statements when he newly became a leader of the Russian Federation. Not knowing he sounded brainwashed and out of touch with reality. It didn't help either that Americans overplay their "historical cards" with all Europeans, making the Russians think they are right, or right to be delusional since the Americans still are.

The KGB still does not understand that Kremlin's position has changed on the world stage, thereby threatens, claws and fights with every tool aveliable cause they still disagree with Gorbatschovs conclusions. Just as a part of German society disagreed with the conclusion of the German's general army staff that ww1 was lost and should end as soon as possible before it enters German soil. (Compare that to Germany 1945, and you see who concluded rightly).

That is a lie, maybe not right away. There are accounts however of a Belgian of German descent that fought in the Polish uprising on German side as a pioneer-Wehrmacht soldier who deserted after seeing one of atrocities committed by the Dirlewanger-SS. Out in one of the villages he got caught by the owner of the house he wanted to sleep in, only saved by the cross on his chest given by his mother. He was also later on interrogated by the NKVD and a «Polish officer» (He had a Polish uniform). With corpses of SS soldiers and others and blood in the room and nearby. He survived the interrogation and was allowed to stay in the house where he survived and even considered staying until he heard of his family still being alive and went home. His accounts and life story told by himself in part can be found in the Warsaw uprising museum.

There is also the story of a Polish noblewomen who protected two Wehrmacht officers in 1939 from being captured by the Polish army since they were guests at her house while they were on a reconnaissance.

War is war, but «gość w domu, Bóg w domu"

Then there is also the capture of the German paratroopers in Monte Cassino by Polish soldiers who long were believed to been killed by a grenade by the German public (the soldiers themselves expected it)but, during a trial in Germany one of the Fallschirmjägers came forth and witnessed about the capture and was treated rather well and dismissed these accusations.

Quite correct

If the Russian Federation was interested in a world of law&order. It wouldn't try to dismantle only because it relies on the U.S.D to function.

The consequences of this dismantling will work against Russian interests long term. Russian Federation was a net gainer of the global system. It was just simply not enough.

That is why you need a well functioning institution with competent people outside the political system that the states draws it's people from. Tiny form of technocracy, Norway has it, U.K has it and until recently U.S.A had it which is being demolished since they have been seen as protectors of the swamp.

Germany used to have it's «Jünckers» who were on a constant eternal conflict with Poland, sabotaging any efforts of trade, peace and mutual Co-existence as they saw their positions and lifestyles threatened by a larger Poland (until Prussia carved Poland up and later on became Germany, creating a superiority complex and still blocking for the merchants, traders and investors as much as possible)

Russia used to it's Boyars, but as Bobko has explained we're slowly changed out by German elites slowly over time due to German rulers or influence within Tsarist family. Nepotism followed right after and halted or slowed down growth instead of the opposite.

Quite the opposite effect then the German elites that moved to Norway to rule or convey Denmarks orders and wishes, until France and Denmark got beaten during Napoleon and through intricate schemes were able to hold on to power and wealth even to this day by not causing trouble and be of most possible assistance as they knew they were far outnumbered and knew from experience that ruling in Norway without some form of consensus was impossible.

Time went on and most things stayed the same.
Elites, institutions, competence and wellfunctioning educational sector is vital for a states performance, which most power hungry groups, monarchs or dictators rather be without if possible as their fear of losing power caused by it is too great.

For their own sake I fully agree, I just don't think they have their own countries best interest at heart nor the competency to be able to pull it off. They are disconnected from their own countries most struggling population.

While in other countries you have leaders from those groups or recruits people that are competent enough to hear their voices and know their situation to avoid internal disasters.

Poland will grow in significance in the region wether it will be comfortable for states around it or not. Cause Poland will be able to not only afford, but will have gained the trust to repay any loans it will take. Which was not a guarantee in 1989. Lot has changed and the resilience of the Polish people pushed Poland ever forward.

In the past Poland had to rely and directly control and influence a lot of populations east of it's native lands. (To Russians great annoyance) nowadays Poland can afford and win on a waiting game.

What state can afford to stop Poland? None at this moment. Those who spots this will most likely in this day and age try to bargain something for themselves and not invade like in the past.

What if I told you about the massacres happening in the Middle East before the crusades started when Muslims were conquering Christian lands lead to spontaneous «pogroms» on Christian done by Judeans? I cannot be certain if it's Muslim propaganda or not. If true however would explain that picture a lot.

@AntV
You are on point on this, just as treatment of Donald Tusk by the other ministers or presidents. Hate him all you want (I am against hating). Treatment of Tusk however only opens up for others to think that is how you treat a Polish PM or you can get away with it by treating him like that.

Poland is looked down upon and treated as a periphery state similar to Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Hungary by the states political elite of France, Germany, Spain and Austria.

In contrast to British elites that need every way in possible in to EU and keep NATO together. Similar with Sweden and Norway, might change more with Denmark and Finland is positive, but it has a tendency to keep it's distance (similar to know Norway was more in the past). Norway and Sweden can't afford to gamle on old troglodytes that mainly focus on their internal affairs and try first and foremost to reach a settlement with Russia at the expense of several countries security that are close or bordering Russia.

Compare level of investments, activity and manpower being located to Poland, Finland, Baltic states and Romania. Then you can see who takes Russia seriously and who does media stunts for publicity to calm down the crowd bothering leadership about Russia

I generally agree with this approach, and fully agree with most of your post, but if anything has been shown is that Middle Eastern guerillad do not shy away from infiltrating and abusing humanitarian organisations to perform the most heinous things possible. Vengeance is too deeply rooted as a norm for a form of justice.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 25 [1150]


You really think Poles are unaware of the reasons why? Poland lost basically half of it's territories in the east (yes it had Belarusians, Ukrainians but also Poles mind you)

Do you think Stalin was gonna give his party colleagues a bad start in ruling over the Polish population? No. He basically gave them political ammonition to declare them more Polish (etnchnic Polish) then any other Polish politician providing with «pradawne Polskie ziemie» from the start of Poland. It fit Stalin and the Soviet Union cause it would create a lasting tension between Poland and Germany (divide and conquer tactics) and forcing Poland to rely on the Soviet Union to have her borders remain.

The border dispute is not really a problem any longer and was settled. Problem is that nowadays Polish politicians are willing to erase that border dispute in hope of gaining a monetary compensation for German warcrimes. Not thinking about the risk of opening a Pandora's box with German rightwingers.

It's shortsighted and leads only to a blind wall.

So far all there is to it, it is largely seen as a political ploy from Stalin. Not as a «gift» the guy was a cynic not a heartfelt human being.

And then you can willfully ignore the cost, pain, losses and a revolution caused by having a common border with German Empire in 1914-1918

Just as common border that was even shorter in 1939-1941.

Remind me what happened when Persia (later Iran) stopped being a grey area of a state between Soviet Union and the west (Iraq-India). Has Soviet Union engaged in pointless conflicts in Middle East after it or not? Is a adventure in Afganistan wise to repeat?

Any Russian or German can come and threaten about a partition to any Pole. But geopolitical realities will only lead either Germany or Russia closer to a grave.

German elite has learned that and are mainly pressuring economically, politically and with media. What has Russian elites learned? Nothing cause they got all shot in 1917 and are ruled by criminals and knowledgeless bunch indoctrinated by Marxism.

It will be worth it for Russia, until it's not worth it anymore. Then it was a mistake and needs to retreat. Then 50 years later Putin was the misunderstood Genius and Ukraine needs to be liberated.

It's a tactic any defensive force in smaller size does, defend and bleed out the enemy until it cannot progress. Look for chances of encirclement. Then when battered enough advance when there is little resistance. Russia focuses on overwhelming with large numbers as their strategy, to do it they would another unpopular mobilisation and even larger drone production. We shall see if Putin and Russian society has a stomach for it or might call for a less favourable settlement

A group of people that has closely aligned itself with the Polish nation and state (and not afraid of quarrelling about autonomy, especially areas regarding coal mines)

Any activist, politician or young upstart will most likely only be seen as to try to shine in the media. Cause anyone with experience knows it to be futile to even try and any secessionist movement is doomed to fail. Local politicians knows, and central Polish politicians knows it.

Both are part of Poland just as Masovians, lesser Polans and Great Polans. Some are more distinct or seem more foreign. Still part of Polish nation

Yes, and Norway's wealth fund could easily nullify U.S.A's entire national debt in the blink of an eye.

If Poland provides the manpower. Scandinavia can provide bargaining power and the money. It's a win-win

I wouldn't excactly recommend anybody to go after Norway, Finland and the Netherlands at the same time cause their militaries don't mind fixing up their reputation.

Both Norwegian and Dutch Jetfighters helped defend Polish airspace. Norway has a weapon industry specialised in air missiles to sink ships. So anybody on Norways black list will have trouble with naval vessels of any sort in the Atlantic, Baltic Sea or Norwegian Sea if it wishes it.

You remind me pagan Rome, thought it to be strong. Trampled by elephants and lost to obedient and non-violent men. Take a long look at the white&yellow flag in Rome. It will continue to fly in the face of hatred, slavers and those who dream of colusseums where good men were slaughtered.

So yes, America will pray. America will cry, America will show the other cheek.
