News / Building regional alliance to stabilize Eastern Europe. [215]

@amiga500
Hoping very much that a (surprisingly multicultural) country being invaded by literally the worst invaders in the world is not promoting racism and nationalism.

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [991]


More the 20 something percent who turned out to vote for it being conned by media manipulation and those happy with the status quo being less likely to vote.

Having said that, leaving hasn't harmed us in any way.

He is though.


When someone promotes racism and nationalism, others will call them out.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


Nowt wrong with Odin however you'll find far far more Nazis in r*SSia.


The faschos were booted out of that a decade ago.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 20 [1556]


Why would they sign them over anyway? Ukraine doesn't owe the Tsar Spangled Banner Wavers a penny more than they owe the countries that came to their aid after 9/11.

Very true.

Also, they're basically crap and tinny.

I used to have one years ago through work called a Crown Victoria (cultural appropriation or what??) and it was like driving a hearse. It did have its merits, mostly size however it probably wouldn't be the winner in a crash with a Volvo or Range Rober.

That it almost certainly thiel/mush/vance's plan.

When the tipping point comes and they are in a real crisis, thiel/mush will set up private businesses to replace some of the functions of government. Of they get that far, which is very uncertain.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


Some foreign guy.

Much better than the one they've got now though.


Your factoid is spurious.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


Hardly.

Fascism is predicated on hate and fear.


Yes, they do that enthusiastically, demonising whole groups of people. It appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 14 [549]

I'm in a hotel in Berlin at the moment and fancied a nightcap. At the bar, they had no whisky at all and the only whiskey they have is American. I asked why, since t literal home of whisky is much nearer that that. The barman's answer? Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam are crazily cheap at the wholesaler right now since almost nobody is buying any.


Hopefully he is.

The tariffs are a ridiculous idea. They will tank the economy there however this seems to be part of President Mush and his protege Vance's plan

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


Ideology feeds it. There were angry mobs in a simpler age too, however the fascists and other characteristics of ill will are adept at using the media (the nazis appeared the age of film, early radio and affordable newspapers) to push their filth.

History / Poland is great Mother of all Slavs from Baltic to Balkan [202]

Hardly. I'm very assiduous.

And some parts of southern Europe are just plain grubby. Have you seen how they live?

Very weird that there are so many posts, mostly trolling ones on here from there, especially from servia, the worst bit of the balkans.

History / Poland is great Mother of all Slavs from Baltic to Balkan [202]

Probably smell like it too, given poor hygiene standards in the global south, including servia.

I wonder why they wear stuff like that.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 14 [549]

An interesting article about that silly (and potentially very dodgy) essay the Yanks made.

Who would trust them now?

" President Zelensky has acknowledged for the first time that his troops have crossed the Russian border into the Belgorod region, in a move that will infuriate Putler."

Horrible looking shoes.

Well, all major countries had cryptography and the hero of this is Dr Turing.

BTW, he also invented computers.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


That is the same thing.

A vile belief system based entirely on violence, murder and racism. One rightly excoriated by the rest of the world.


It has killed millions, not only in its best-known iteration, Nazizm, it also in its other forms, in South America and elsewhere.


The rapist trump doesn't, his party don't, PiS don't; in fact that statement is a bizarre one.

Why are you defending fascism?

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 14 [549]


Pull yourself together. There's a fūcking big monument to them.

Despite most of the genius and effort not being theirs.


Or even the complete opposite, since not only did Dr Turing solve the new method of setting g the dials, he also solved the whole new system the Krauts introduced. And the Wytie and Jap ones too.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 20 [1556]


Since 2008.

Your country recognises its independence as do all major countries in the free world.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


What most of the world 'claims'.

Any ideology that kills people because they're Jewish, or Polish, or disabled, or hold different political views is evil.

I'm sure you agree with that.


Same, however walking round advocating the vilest political ideology that has ever existed by making their silly nazi salutes or their even sillier military goosestepping is extreme enough to count.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 14 [549]


The point is that the Krauts change the codes and then changed the complete system. So Alan Turing had to start from scratch. And then of course he and his team cracked the Jap and Eytie codes.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


It really isn't. Only the insane would make such silly gestures.

It is a sign associated with a particularly vile political ideology, and good that normal people often use democratic processes to get it banned.

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 14 [549]


The opposite is actually true. The PM has said that nothing is off the table.


No taxes have been dropped and the government have indicated that there is likely to be tax rises.


A weird thing to say. Canada is an independent country and although King Charles (I assume you know him personally since you refer to him in familiar terms) is King there too however the two kingdoms are separate.

Nor is there anything to 'stick up' about unless there's been an invasion and nobody noticed. The people of Canada can stand up very well to trumpet's ridiculous posturing without sabre rattling from elsewhere.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


It isn't banned in Britain however nobody there would do nazi salutes, except of course for the insane.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 20 [1556]


What a load of nonsense.

r*SSia's illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is nothing to do with any non-existent 'slavic world'. It is about Putler's imperialistic fantasies.

Nor is it for the Disunited States of America to agree anything about borders other than their own (with the other party's consent).

So far, the Yank negotiations have gone precisely nowhere (no surprises if you let a 6 times bankrupt rapist try to make 'deals') and after three years, the r*SSian 'special operation still hasn't taken
Kyiv.

And Kosovo is a country, no matter what weird Balkan trolls may pretend.

News / Poland Sports News [1116]


Same thing.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 20 [1556]


They don't.


Kosovo isn't in servia. It is a different country.


Nobody actually cares about this and r*SSia is not in a position to invade anywhere else.

News / Poland Sports News [1116]


They are. As are you and me both.

Unfortunately servians aren't the same sort as us. It's as if the rest of us evolved and they didn't.

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [151]


It's much better to call it what it is, a nazi salute.
