History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [939]

@jon357
Some countries see it as a norm, reward for their soldiers or part of rules of war. U.K has a very long lasting tradition of hierarchical army, every soldier knew their role and duties. The honour of one's regiment as well.

One of the most crucial parts of the British military, (land, air or sea) was discipline. Rape could easily have been seen as breach of discipline and seen as a danger for performing military operations at large or in general. Therefore seriously controlled.

Wehrmacht (especially irregular forces of the SS, like Dirlewanger) and Red Army had a much more savage and brutal warfare with unleashed fury and uncontrolled hatred.

Therefore for a Russian reading what you wrote will be seen as a provocation (cause a Russian would think that this happens in war, don't you know?)

While from a western point of view can be deeply shocking, abhorrent or hard to grasp with what type of norms more Asiatic countries are used to and has been normalised.

News / European News and Poland Thread 3 [1064]

@Novichok
Because arguing for the need of a military-industrial complex which America has and does not need at present that much (because nobody is able to compete with it in any serious manner)

Is a way for the military industrial complex to legitimately continue to exist. You are pushing for their narrative, for Europe to spend more money on their army (preferably importing U.S weapons). Then for the federal government to spend their money more on ways of repression or pleasing American society at large (or their biggest backers).

Their argument is: "spend more money or we will withdraw from Europe. We withdrew from Afghanistan, we can pull out of anywhere else too"

Russia to successfully take over Europe is not likely even without U.S.A due to France and U.K have built up their armies, air forces and fleets after their economic troubles in 1945. Not to mention the collection of other militaries in Europe (including Finland and Sweden who have long standing traditions for winter warfare and logistics in colder climates.)

Even after a successful military offensive and conquest, Russian Federation does not have the state capacity to control or repress Europe as a whole in any ways. The amount of Russian men fleeing Russia to avoid mobilisation is a clear indicator of how much success Russian beaureucracy would have in Europe if it fails that much on their own home turf.

Next steps:

Enlarge NATO, increase military budget, spend more money on local arms industry instead of U.S products. Tell U.S they are welcome as tourists, set boundaries with Russia even stronger. Set up a crowd funding on pipe repairs for Russian public

Then we can live more happy and more likely to happen :)

(They do need to improve their piping systems in Russia for possible instalment of toilets. Robbed or purchased, meaning worked for*)

Life / Satanic and Heretical Manifestations in Poland [123]

There are pagan statues outside Cracow close to areas of a concentration camp. There are some occult spots and known places for Witches to gather during the night as well. I find it sickening

Life / Satanic and Heretical Manifestations in Poland [123]

@jon357
Cause when people want to do other people harm and think they are powerless and can only do it by being tricked by evil spirits. Imagine them having guns, rifles and ammo and a defenceless school to take it out on or a summer vecation island.

Most people don't do it cause they can't get away with it. We are writing about evil people here, of course it makes me sickening that they are becoming more and more open about it and fearless.

When I see people think that "accepting" evil practice is way to go. Then I know the quality of the society and which side it's on and why. Cause it's too sick to resist it

News / How will Poland be affected by WW3 which has now started [397]

He's complaining (rightly and not for the first time)

In my experience it seems like army recruiters want only those THEY deem fit to serve at moments notice. Without the thought that Army training is meant to prepare them for what their looking for.

If army needs men with more muscles, then perform more drills to have more of them -.-

Instead of complaining that the draftees have no muscles and reject them. Not everybody knows how to train muscles well, how long or what type of food to eat best even.

If I got choice between wealthy farmers or wealthier politicians and/or wealthier businessmen.

what do you mean with

One important thing to learn about Poles is that Poles love to argue :)

Another thing is that Old Polish grandpas are Grumblers. Imagine old longbeards from Warhammer fantasy to Get the picture.

maybe Swedes are

Swedes were offered shares in Oil offshore platforms in return for shares in Volvo. They refused, I wouldn't bet on Swedish arrogance... It's worse then Germans. Finns are safer bet

News / What Polish diaspora need and expect from Poland, from Poles in Poland? [43]

@Poloniusz

It's due to poor education system, especially in certain western countries with a very dumbed down thought process. I remember my sister stopped talking about holocaust and ww2 when saying that she had family members experiencing concentration camps. They automatically assumed her to be Jewish, no matter how much she tried to explain things.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 8 [1672]

@johnny reb
I have to agree with Lenka on this, I consider myself patriotic. I love anthems, military marching musics, uniforms the whole schebange.

Singing on important dates in school is fine in my book.

But saluting every morning to your flag, say a «pledge» while telling visiting guests they don't need to feel obliged to do the same.

I does give out the wibe of a cult.

I would place Lenka on left side of politics, myself on centre-right/right-wing depending on context. (Lenka feel free to correct me if I am wrong)

When we both agree, THAT should tell you something

The key question is, "Who is running our country ?"

That should be easy to answer for every responsible patriotic American adult citizen. You are!

«Think about what you can do for your country! Not what the country can do for you!»

Isn't that a quote from one of many best American Presidents?

@Bobko
Fair point

I wouldn't be surprised if Tusk wants amoutor Russian agents to infiltrate the farmers, then after some time "capture" him after shadowed him and screened him and try to link farmers protest to a Russian Operation so as to try to make farmers lose backing.

There forces trying to trample down individual ownership of land and introducing food that they no less clue about for sure while making big bucks too...

Then you have little knowledge of Polish police's actions during previous P.O. governing, and then under PiS then. It was of very little difference. So I am not expecting some grand goodness from Tusk.

He can count on me! The more Russian Federation spends rubles on this is less rubles spent on military equipment. Any slav patriot, Russian or not should gladly convince the authorities of Russia to fund this site! As much as possible! ;)

Bobko feel free to "write" any "reports" of having a Pro-Russian user named "Mr Grunwald" here.

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [396]

@jon357

The world is awash with former royal families.

When I see heads of states, if the types of Putin, Trump or Biden. I am more then happy with a Harald, despite certain scandals in his family. He and his family is by far a better choice then any of three mentioned or a looneybin Giske, Hagen or Listhaug.

So spare me your propaganda, I consider myself a supporter of a republic in general. But seeing the list of probable candidates in other states with republican mechanisms over past 20 years I lean towards Monarchy day by day.

There aren't any good men around nor notable people to uphold a republic. Only charlatans, greedy men and women and opportunists.

I sincerely hope that U.K continues to be spared of this horror in the future, I am sure you know more then one or two on the isles that would not be deserving to be it's head of state but would likely be it with a republican form of government

News / NATO expansion in northern Europe - great news for Poland [136]

@Novichok
Not powerless, just wastes ressources due to larger scale operations and logistics. While guerrilla soldiers use scavenged fuel/ammo of low quality and ambush tactics and play the long game.

If you have a U.S.A standard of spending 5 000 000 $ for every single military operation. One only needs a few rifles for 200$ each. Make some noise and pull back to win economically
