History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [433]

It's not me.

It's used as a derogatory term towards anybody too much linked to a foreign country. No need to be pedantic about insults ;)

However,

Personally inspiring ^^

Reminds me

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.

For it's not Rome, it's not Moscow, it's not Beijing. It's he who carried that good old flag across the Delaware. For freedom and humanity, not for tyranny.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 25 [186]

The first part of your sentence is wrong

Of course it's wrong. Just as most people are wrong.
Do not make the mistake of me holding same opinion as others. I am merely sharing my opinion of how others most likely will perceive it as. Even if it is wrong. Most people make wrong decisions based on wrong assumptions.

Therefore leading to disastrous situations logical people can't fathom

Well after Poland got hit, most people think it's just a piece of paper now (NATO) with no real U.S backing. Expect more violence targeting U.S, Russia and NATO possibly in near future

News / Polish-Russian war? Drones entering Polish airspace. [146]

Indeed.

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

Cars are not designed with the sole and specific purpose of killing people.

Your perception is wrong in my opinion, as it is designed to put a material in to another material or flesh, lethal, non-lethal or poisonous dosage or dozing for sleep. Used in warfare, hunting, sports and terror, guerilla warfare and abduction or to introduce fear.

That you have surrendered to the «terror of guns» proves nothing

@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»

One of the few voices of sanity in American public life that notices and speaks out about the political violence in America.

@GefreiterKania
With every tool or material, the increased use of it. Increases chances of lethal accidents in relation with said tool increases.

In Poland there is a large amount of deaths in car use compared to gun use. Why? Cause cars are more commonly used. Are cars banned for that reason? No, cause people know it's caused by human failure.

Why are guns not treated the same? Cause governments have a agenda for people to not have weapons, especially lethal weapons against them.

The shopkeepers can actually fly and shoot?

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

Everyone and their

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.

Potato Führer trying to f*ck with us more than he should?

Looks like the most likely scenario, Poland should demand a apology from Belarus and immediate demilitarisation of it's borders with Poland. Failure to deliver on it within 30 days should lead to formal preparation of a invasion if he does not come to his senses. His behaviour must be stopped. He is endangering lives with his stupid theatrics.

If Putin can't control him, Poland must do so.

News / Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [392]

Can you realistically see Russia losing

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? [1410]

I doubt Norway,

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.

them yesterday

I find it very odd, if Polish government murdered anyone in 1939 it was German minority collaborators with tight connection to Abwehr or SD. Excecuted for treason, which German military retaliated for resulting in a bloody incident, which spiralled into a norm of butchering during occupation of Poland.

Is the owner of the footballclub a German? Otherwise I find it very odd. Perhaps their school taught them something different

So you admit to dirty, underhanded tactics by the EU

I admit to incompetent EU administration, unpatriotic American businessmen with no regard for their own branding, future of their customers or their own country.

You should be glad I am not a judge in America, I would have had them hanged a lot of them for treason and putting America's future at risk.

But, yeah sure. Europe is the problem? Your crazy?

Let's compare the prices of turkey

You really want to go that route?

Both of them with same quality won't be aveliable in both markets.

American made Turkey or Fish fished in America will be basically impossible to come by in Europe (not only in Poland) perhaps even outright banned due to health concerns. Yet you equalise it as if it's perfectly normal and has no impact on quality of life.

Not only that, if the Polish product was aveliable in America with the same standards as in Europe (but, let's be generous here and say just Poland) most people wouldn't buy it, cause it would be too expensive. Ergo couldn't afford it

I can safely bet most Poles can afford to buy Turkey or Salmon even if luxurious occasionally.

In America one would probably have to be a successful lawyer, cause I have a hard time imagining a hard working average or middle class American, working two jobs, bringing food on the table, worried about paying down loans or mortgage to even think about eating salmon or turkey when it's not thanksgiving. Am I wrong? You should know the answer far better then me. I have never been to America after all. Convince me, convince us and convince yourself.

strongly illustrates

It goes deeper then that I am afraid. For what else is there?

EU may be designed to corrupt

Of course it was! Trade! Talk! Free movement! Money in your pocket!

Instead of embargo, silence, walls, guards with guns and guarddogs, with civilians getting robbed by crooked police or servicemen. You paint yourself as really walking the earth and being a realist, yet sometimes you strike me as forgetful and naive! It makes me almost feel cynical (which I truly dislike!)

@Torq
The aristocracy that was supposed to be the crème de la crème of society before ww1. Did all it could in many cases to secure itself a state position, within it's administration.

One can persuade a human being with talk, writing, money, a weapon, a women or man for that matter to do one's bidding or wishes.

The worst elements of the E.U stems mainly, sadly and in fact from it being that the worst types of politicians that are unpopular, unwanted or failed in their own homeland were shipped to the E.U administration with the hopes of a bag of money would make them busy with something else.

What can one expect from a politician that is bribed to stay in exile after all.

In reality, nobody needs Poland.

As far as we can see nobody needs the U.K really. After Brexit, haven't been much need to get U.K back now. Right?
