News / US air base to be in Poland [193]


Thats most probably correct.


This is a big part of why the US base is not a good idea


Without sucking up to the US on every chance.

More or less. But it would be preferable to keep it at a distance, ie short of actually hosting bases. Build European bases where European armies are hosted.

Why suck up to anyone at all, especially the US. You cannot say Poland will get anything out of it. Maybe eventually in the distant future. You are saying that the alternative is to suck up to Russia? why? Closer ties with the rest of Europe and building up Polands own military will suffice.

Thats why it needs to be built up!

Not just ties with Germany but whole of Europe.


Is this a joke?

Anyhow what exactly did Germany and South Korea get out of it?

So Sky and Guesswho, how would this base be positive for Poland at all?

I am waiting for them to tell me why the air base in Poland is a good idea, let alone the whole partnership.

News / US air base to be in Poland [193]


How is that good? Insignificant.

News / US air base to be in Poland [193]

Sure thats a good point. But the international standing that Poland will be left in after this close relationship will not be good. On the whole its probably not the best idea, or the best way to go about it.

News / US air base to be in Poland [193]

Sky you have some very good points in your long post there. I just think that Europe should replace the US in those roles, for reasons I have already stated. That and what Marek was saying that Poland would just be obligated to serve the United States upon request in any future conflict. We dont need the US just Europe.

News / US air base to be in Poland [193]


That is why we need to have closer ties. Not just one way, Poland to Europe, but back and forth if you know what I mean. The US can remain a partner, but why promote publicly such ties with the number one target for these terrorists.


Right.
USA has never been isolationist, not even before world war 1. People may think so, but even back then they have been constantly invading nations in south and latin america.[quote=Dande]I wouldn't say there is as "strong" isolationist movement in the US

LOL

Cannot believe I actually have to explain this to some people. The point of the above is question the quoted commentator on why he holds this view and in extension why Poland needs a so called boost from the US. I guess some people are just that dense. My comment is in line with the thread, and I was not insulting anyone.

History / Life in Partitioned Poland (Specifically in the Prussian Partition) [118]

dismantled Polish state was high due to racial discrimination and unemployment on traditionally Polish lands

Thats a quote from Bratwurst Boy quoting a source in another thread. While Prussia may not have been as bad as the Russian partition, it was still not a wonderful place. Dont say there was no discrimination or persecution.

On a side note I seem to be finding that the Austrian partition was the best for Poles.

What are you saying here?

Also I was just saying that the Austrian partition was the the most liberal, not good.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

Since there is no USSR anymore there seems to be no second world. Even so I would not Classify Poland as second world. It more of a first world country just a step behind others like France or Canada.

Whoever thinks that Poland is third world is just stupid or a stupid troll.

It is not Poland responsibility to host these people. The countries who are there like the US, UK, France should. They, if anyone signed up for taking them in, certainly not Poland.

History / Poland Lithuania - current relations [124]

Poland is in Central Europe, whether you like it or not. Politically, culturally for the most part and geographically. Like someone said Poles have always lived there and have the right to use their language. Just as Lithuanians have where they live in Poland.

Australia / HELP! Australian wanted to apply for Polish Passport via ancestory [51]

I dont see why a lawyer would be necessary. The embassies should be helpful enough.

Study / AFRICAN STUDENTS INVASION in Krakow [197]

Blacks, Asians, whatever minorities are fine to have in Poland as long as they stay minorities. Under 10 percent of Population, no more is acceptable. Inter racial breeding should certainly not be encouraged. Problem is eventually, what will be a Pole if that happens too much? Minorities are nice, as they bring some variety to society, but if it gets out of control our own culture is threatened. Poland is for everyone, but most of all for Poles. It would be a big shame to see Poland the way GB is.

Money is not the only thing to life. Another thing wrong with the west. Some things are not worth sacrificing for money. Besides that is not the only way to become rich. Look at Germany. Almost completely ethnically homogeneous yet one of the richest nations in the world.

Why are some people complaining so much. We have a society with practically no minorities. Cannot hurt to have small minorities. Certainly a few hundred Africans coming to study or even live is almost a non topic.

Im just saying there is no need for hate. Besides I dont really get this Lwów sitaution. They may have the region but we are much more developed. Getting these territories back would only be bad news.

USA, Canada / Chicago's 1.1 million Polish Americans celebrated Constitution Day [47]


I dont believe that anyone who does not live in the country should not have a right to vote. If one chooses so it must be taken seriously and carefully. So Delph, maybe they just felt like they did not have a right to vote.
