History / History of Europe and the Next Russian Grand Idea [48]


I was simply looking for answers, found wells of knowledge that I wanted to share with everyone around enthusiastically, then only met with hostile and unfriendly reactions, expecting the worst of intentions from me. That gave me more clarity to the human condition to learn not only about past events but, also worst and best sides of humanity! My main sorrow is that the human ego so many times projected upon me quite unfairly and too often has lead me to isolate from other communities. Seeking perspectives and thoughts from a more international community or in Poland. Poland after all is a swamp for anything useful for Poland, Norway and Norwegians are far more sceptical, careful and conservative then it might look like.

I know you write it in a joking manner, but you are closer to the truth then I would like to admit.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [450]


Not too far from the truth. This event gave Russia and Ukraine cards to use against Poland diplomatically and stir trouble domestically in Poland among Poles and most recent immigrants.

I would been very harsh towards that teacher for this reason alone, it borders on national treason. (One of the reasons I should refrain from judging, I would been too cruel).

This whole situation is absurd to me and damning, glad that Torq gave a little insight into Słupsk. That place needs to get a fix asap

History / History of Europe and the Next Russian Grand Idea [48]


They are fools, currency wether in metal coin, pieces of paper or digital numbers are merely tools to reflect the value and need of a countries workforce, services and goods.

If the overall quality of a country's population declines, so will the currency regardless of the governing class.

Why you also don't understand the necessity of being able to strike (any foe) globally by use of rockets, aircraft carriers or other means. Shows that you do not understand why the meek are to inherit the earth!

History / History of Europe and the Next Russian Grand Idea [48]


It's just the lessons of ww2. A hungry man in a state of starvation, humiliated and without many options is ready to perform despicle things, crime and more open for extreme actions.

By having most or all populations globally fed, clothed and respected. Would potentially reduce the risks of wars, conflicts and increase possibility of peace, trade, manufacturing and stability.

Why do you think western nations are/were so enthusiastic about opening trade? Donations? Charity? Diplomacy? Investments? It wasn't ONLY about influence or as counter measures against the Soviet Union during Cold War. It was seen as pre-emptive defence to lessen the risks of another bloody world war.

My proposal for Russian grand idea:

Art/science focus in close co-operation with Slavic states and Slavic friendly states.

Host and organise non-governmental council with members/representatives from all Slavic states. (Preferably after had been through a IQ test and answering a degree of affiliation towards Russia as a whole).

This council could/would then focus on projects for future Russia to be depicted in films, pictures, paintings, games etc.

Example: Grand Wall of Russia (with a Slavic project of building a massive wall along the entire southern Russian border to rival and surpass maginot line and the Great Wall of China.

Example nr 2: Trans-Siberian Hyper Railway
(A gigantic railroad system from Vladivostok to Smolensk able to send 20 hyper fast modern trains side by side at the same time. Being able to send massive amounts of cargo from Asia to Europe at a low cost and impossible to compete with)

Example 3: Modern settlements, based on flying cars (type Jetson One), AI controlled public transportation and AI labour services within restaurants, AI entrence greeters and more

News / AfD politician: Poles are land-stealing n*ggers [191]

Also no German sane voter nor politician will want or go back to reparations to Poland. It would need a literal gun pointed to their heads by aligning with the Russian Federation which is out of the question. I don't know what moron even brought up this topic, it's as validly argued by both Tacitus and BB here, as a can of worms.

If any Pole ever seriously thinks Germany is going to send Poland "Free" money. Cause that is how it is viewed shamelessly, out of their own free will. You might order a big white board to go into the funeral casket with "Still waiting".

My family has had a lot of experiences with Germans and only time I've experienced good will donations are for supporting Catholic communities abroad.

I would been completely shocked if German political parties voted for reparations to Poland, that the Russian duma invited scientists and artists to a special forum to be hosted in Kiev with Ukrainian representatives as "honorary brethren", for British media to push for a "jolly festival" of British-Irish relations or for Czech/Slavic statesmen to travel annually to Poland to mark their respects and joy from having Poland as their neighbouring state to celebrate ever lasting Slavic brotherhood between western Slavs.

News / AfD politician: Poles are land-stealing n*ggers [191]


Money or secret services. If it looks stupid and suicidal, then pressure, blackmail or making him a scapegoat for the party can be either a effect, outcome or consequence of stuff happening behind the scenes.

PiS rhetorically is anti-German and coins every opportunity it can to appear anti-German to look as the opposite of Donald Tusks gang. Doesn't stop them from signing deals at EU parliament or halting trade with Germany. In fact I challange anyone to check if trade value/volume increased or decreased during PiS presidents or Prime Ministers reigned in Poland... Look what they do, not what they say. Unless you know that they do what they say that is.

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.

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.

«Dumped» is the word I would have used. If it was more organised and in full co-operation with both sides and facilities in place. It would had been sent.

Alas mistakes were&are done on both sides. I just hope Germany is able to stabilise her internal problems and grow more Indie companies. Too many big ones have been sold abroad. It needs to get back on it's feet to be a stabilizing force for herself and her neighbours

Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [77]


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

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


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.

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [254]


Problem is it is linked with increased gun use and training. Facilities and factories do not need amateurs or unskilled labour force. The unwillingness of the public for a more commonly used use of weapons (firearms) leads to a decline in possibilities for the military to produce, train, upgrade, perform or develope firearms.

So I can only see reliance on foreign powers as of now. Which any sane politician in Poland does as well

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [254]

@GefreiterKania
What Poland needs is: More military logistics, larger production of small arms and ammunition for small arms, production of large scale land, air and naval drones.

Anything less won't be a large enough deterrent from further Russian attacks and would need to either accept Russian demands or invite a larger foreign force on territory of Poland for some sort of deal or compensation. Hopefully without having to perform deviant debouchary which certain Russian posters seem to be used of doing. Since they write it in a way as if it is «normal»

And butcher too, how do you explain them Liberating themselves from the Spanish Empire? Not to mention the slaughter of German soldiers invading the Netherlands in 1940.

I recall it was mentioned that the battle for Arnhem was a massacre.

News / The most pro-Russian Polish politicians [14]

Option B and C I think only do it to gain publicity. They love media. They are more in favour of Russia over Ukraine, I think it stems from logical thinking that Russia doesn't have the capabilities to threaten Poland in near future and any effort to weaken Russia and strengthening Ukraine at the cost of Poland is folly cause they do not see Ukraine as a ally but, more of a enemy, rival or not an ally at all.

They might also see through that both PO and PiS try to gain support by supporting Ukraine from the mainstream and media while also pleasing foreign backers at same time and decided to go against it. Honestly don't think Russia has much to do with their thinking right now.

Option A, I think he is too new to Politics and tries to think rationally. Looks at the facts of Ukrainian behaviour towards Poland in comparison to Russian behaviour towards Poland and seems to lack emotions or feelings or disregarding them. Especially feelings of hate or fear towards Russia.

He doesn't seem concerned about Russia at all.
None of them seem to be "big fans" or actual supporters of Russia and I have seen more attempts to blemish them then them actually supporting Russia. Larger chance they will be pushed into the arms of Russia unwillingly rather then them being actual supporters.

D) There are no real options for Russia, at least Putin's camp. Only ones who could potentially been open to it would been hooligans, criminal semi elements and far-right who did not fight UB or ZOMO in PRL. Themselves and their supporters have lived on anti-Soviet/Russian sentiments cause of it and find little reason to like Putin really. As he is still seen as ex-kgb agent.

Nawrocki would had been closest to it if Russia finds a respectable person able to fight and defeat Putin in a manner they find appealing. Then they could gain a entry into Poland. Otherwise it's simply a blind wall and used mainly to smear opponents. Nothing more

That is because position in logistics are seen as punishment, anyone capable of taking care of materials and counting so everything is there that is in need is in the civilian sector or abroad. The army needs such men desperately (a lot of open position for transport etc). The military just doesn't have the money to compete with the civilian sector.

Therefore naturally, loses on contracts, gear, materials etc. Don't be surprised if professional soldiers buy their own gear.

That is the formal excuse and propaganda. You falling for it just sows your colours while you think you are smarter and better then us and know something we don't yet cite stupidities

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [396]


Uhm yeah, ever since they didn't take Kiev. Couldn't take it then. Can't take it now, Ukraine is far more suited to combat Russia then at the beginning.

It's a war of attrition the west happily will keep stale and long lived. Why you think U.S.A just doesn't send all it has? Cause it's not good for it to crush or invade Russia and trigger a nuclear strike. They just wanna swamp the entire area until Russia realises what a gigantic drain they willingly set to drown everything they got in to it.

When Russia realises the blunder. A deal or a peace treaty can be signed. Until then it's just gonna be theatrics for the audience that doesn't know any better

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]


Not sure about Sweden (cause it's a looneybin), but most politicians in Norway (including the ones from the Labour Party that has strong connections to worker union's across the country). Do think that socialism stifles growth. Which is why they have allowed or are not against capitalism being present in the country.

The amount of socialism amounts depends on the fruits of wealth of the market and capitalistic approach.

Except left-wing radicals, most of the political spectrum does not see socialism as functional or able to survive on it's own and fully dependant on capitalism. Therefore the more wealth created and invested. The more benefits can be provided.
