News / Poland and Russia in military alliance - Is that even possible? At least temporary? [69]

During the potsdam agreement, it was STALIN who pushed the border far more to the west than the english and americans had in mind... Making Poland a bigger country even that churchill didn't wanted that. I know that Stalin took more than he gave, but thanks to him Poland have a place in the central of europe which makes a lot of more sense than the Lwów area.

So the russians aren't only to make our days bad...

History / Is there any part of Polish history that's at least a bit glorious? [196]

I understand it, but the facts are facts.

But your facts doesn't explain the bigger picture. Look what Lukasz is writing.

And those things about Poland, Harry said them. It just sounded like you were supporting him, sorry for that. And "no you don't have to move to Russia", I just don't see your mistrust to the polish support in now days. Sorry for helping !

And where is your fact's about tons of Ukrainians fighting against the poles ?

You don't believe that we actually was looking forward to “sell Ukraine” in the past ? Please, look at the bigger picture, if you Ukrainians didn't liked being sold to Russia, why didn't you fight harder with us ? We had nothing to do with Ukraine. We sold areas we couldn't use, the Ukrainians couldn't use us, so why this anger why not put it against the Russians ?

-I'm off.

Ask your self this: Poland was a weak nation after the war, military and economical speaking. Many Ukraine's behaved like **** during the war, and tons of them were against the Polish people. Only few, if you see it in a bigger picture, were polish citizens. Poland had to regain fast after the war, and also after the splitting of the nation, so now the question – what good could the areas do Poland ?

And why is Poland suddenly a ****** country, just because of that single thing ?

And what bugs me the most, is your need to overwrite the polish history, just because we “sold your country”

And if some Ukrainians felt betrayed, I'm sorry for them, but does that make Poland the worst country ever ?
And if you didn't like the support doing the rebellion and so on, then move to Russia if they are so much better to you.

Read the treaty of Warsaw (1920) and the treaty of Riga (1921) and then stop lying.

Harry you just can't stop it, can't you ? We all did read your links, and it gave us nothing !

Stop posting the same links ! You just don't get any further with this !

As soon as I see these runny hypocritic noses, it enrages me, I have to admit.

It bugs everybody. I know as a Polak that Ukraine did suffer under the Polish occupation.

And that's why we can ask our self, what is glorious history ? When a country had glorious imperialist days, it would mean the opposite for the occupied country. Just look at the colonial time.

Nathan, are you Ukrainian ? If you are, answer me on this, does the Ukrainian people feel any anger about the Polish because of things that happen nearly over a 100 years ago ?

And Harry, since you won't respond to my question, I take you as an Ukrainian.

But why blame your situation on us ? And even though you're not an Ukrainian, why still blame Poland ? Poland tries to bring Ukraine to Europe meanwhile Russia tries the opposite. And who gave Ukraine full support under the rebellion in Kijev 2005 ? Let me give you a clue....

It was Poland ! Also rumors said, that the Polish government also sponsored money for the rebellion, so why are we the bad guys again ?

Harry, why does that piece in the history matter to you ?

The area which was sold, only contained 15 % polish citizens, and the rest of the country didn't care about the Polish, so why this anger ?

Poland sells some stupid land, and they are suddenly the worst in Europe ?

I haven't looked deeply enough, but I know as a common fact, that the Polish suffered after the war against soviet, the military equipment was old and the country had just recovered from the splitting, if Poland had some claims about areas in Ukraine where the people didn't even wanted to be polish, why not think economical ? I really don't see the big problem.

Even though, isn't it the Polish government who tries to bring Ukraine closer or into the EU ? What does Russia do, cutting of gaz !

Hey...it's about Polands past! :(

Yea I'm sorry, it just seemed like the right example !

Speaking about the German past, why didn't you guys win the FIFA world cup ? I could have won a lot of money on that ! -Now I'll never get the cruise trip I wanted for the summer, thanks !

I think, that the German and Russian history wins the gold medal of betrayal.

The Ukraine's didn't even like the Polish occupation, so "if the polish sold the country out" even though, I don't see where in the history this could had taken place, what is the big deal ? Again, where in the history should Poland sell Ukraine ? Before or after the splitting ?

able to make the life of their citizens paradisic just because they are sitting on oil.

Denmark did actually sold large areas with oil in the Northern Sea to Norway. Boy don't they regret, I think it had something to do with the entrance to EU.

Since the splitting of Poland by Russia, Germany and Austria, Poland didn't have any control of Ukraine.

Are you from Ukraine or what ?

Poland was one of the first to create a society with religious freedom in the past. Jews and Muslims could stay in Poland, without any persecution. You didn't see that elsewhere.

But again where you from, since your history is full of glory ?

[quote=Bratwurst Boy]
So, why shouldn't that work in the bigger picture too?[/

Because of the historical ties with the Germans and the German language, puts up the federal state.

That wouldn't work in the bigger picture, the Europeans are to different. Just look at the different state model and welfare, the Scandinavians pays a lot of taxes to fund the universal welfare model, which to many others seems socialistic, you guys in Germany has created a selective model where you pay your insurance through your work, and the English pays for them self's, do you see the picture ? If we can't co-fund a common state model, we can't centralize the union.

And again, the language is to important.. It brings people together, not politics or ideas of a united Europe!

So therefor, you can't integrate 27 different people.. !

So how can we demand that from others what we ourselves aren't willing to give up?

The famous German sociologist, Ulrick Bech, did actually speak about the making of an federal union, which couldn't be possible without a federal integration also, and that would overcome the cultural identities. That would in his eyes, be self destructive of the great nations and continent.

He sees the importance of the sovereignties, and through that we shall create a union. That's why I don't see a centralized union with Poland. But if we could reform that, then I promise won't talk about an exit from the union hehe. :)

I'm sorry if I seemed nationalistic in my threats, just saw the link "Polish history in 10 min." and I couldn't stop feeling my patriotic veins. :)

I just want what is best for Poland and its people, and make sure that what is polish, is kept polish, I love my country. :)

Again...the same question...where do we want to go from here.
Do we like to keep it as not much more as a trading union or do we want to build a federal Europe?
That's a question for the next decades I think...

PS: Some people can see the advantages of a federal Europe that can compete with the powerblocs of US, China or Russia...something a mere trade union just can't!

In the internation Perspective, some wants to create a federal union as a response to China and the states. But will that work, can a European integration overcome the national, which is needed to create such a thing ?

sociological speaking, what do you want for yourself ? Strong states in the union, or one strong union ? - I don't think we can have both.

One of the main pillars of the EU is to support weaker economies to spread peace, prosperity and stability on the continent.
All sides are going to be the winner because of that!

I didn't ague about that. The creation of EU was from the result of WW2, to make peace in Europe, starting with common heritage of coal and steel .

What exactly?

EU legislation overcomes with the commission, all national laws. That's why the resistance to the union is common, all over Europe specially in the Scandinavian countries.

No one sees much of a difference between being governed by an inept national government, or an inept supernational government. Quite a few people are seeing the wealth transfer from West to East that is happening. I'm with you though, Poland should leave the EU and return all the money that the government and its people were granted.

The money that was granted to Poland, was one of the biggest argument for bringing Poland into the union.

And here we have an interesting fact. Why did the western leaders agree to grant even more money to Poland, under the meetings in Copenhagen in 2002 ? Because of the economic development each year, which brings benefits for the union.

They already then knew, that Poland would be one of the highest developed countries in Europe because of its size, geographic and market.

I'm not totally against the EU, I'm just making a point about Eu's authority, legally speaking.

Harry, You shouldn't be ashamed of your low awareness of history.

Look at the internet, and you would find many things. One of the great things we did, was the battle against the ottoman, where King Sobieski had the command, that stopped the ottoman attempt to occupy Vienna in 1683, so they could spread their power in the continent.

Such a policy would isolate Poland in Europe...what good would that do the polish people?

Would such a government really have the best of it's people in mind?

An exit from the union is not the same as an isolation. Is Switzerland isolated from the continent ? What Poland has to offer, is the possibility of company movements to Poland because of the cheap labour. Just see the perspective in China.

Ahem, Poland wasn't forced into the EU - there was a referendum to join, and the time to object was than, instead of irritating people now.

AHEM ! Where does Marcinski write that Poland was forced into the Union ? The result of a membership in the union, is a deterioration of the national sovereignty. A common factor in the union.

So I would say, reform the union or make an exit.
