look so much better than

Because they like to show off and have a 'taste' for baubles rather than taking care of the people's money.

Meanwhile, their soldiers eat 40 year old ration packs.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2678]

Not for much longer though

Put your crystal ball down.

Opinion has been consistent here for a long time.

The Polish government will order every homeowner to own a gun for everyone in the family over 18.

Sources?

And will they also explain what happens to franc-tireurs in wartime?

Hunter Biden

The more right-wingers scrape the bottom of the barrel about him, the cooler he looks.

Nord Streams

Hopefully they will both soon be permanently dismantled and the pipelines and terminals melted down for scrap.

Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [83]

You will never reach your end goal

One reason for making small interim goals and having a way of measuring if you've achieved them. Sometimes goals should be baby steps; setting them too high (or too vague) makes them harder to achieve.

English at home, Polish with some of the extended family, English with others.

Only Polish for us since we don't speak each other's first language, and after all, we're in Poland. It works for us. Among friends only Polish except for one person with whom I mix Polish and English because she's learnt English well but doesn't have an opportunity to speak it.

Another mistaken "home invasion"

You beat me to it. I read that late last night and thought of posting it here but had other thing s to do.

It's amazing that things like that can happen in a supposedly developed country. Doubtless some of the trolls here will say that they think she should have had a gun too. Perhaps they like shootouts with bullets flying everywhere.

The kind of thing that would never happen in Poland

Yes. The gun laws here work and of course there is no significant public opinion in favour of weakening them.

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [279]

A wine stone does not mean that the wine is bad, quite the opposite.

For some wines, like a nice crisp Muscadet, it's desirable.

'lees'.

Muscadet sur lie ;-)

News / Poland`s aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 10 [1976]

Since 1946, when was the US in the right?

A few times. Not many.

This war is in Europe though, and it's clear from the way things are going politically that the three major European countries, the UK, France and Germany will need to handle this ourselves. The UK is already taking the lead. As a member of Five Eyes and AUKUS and still a member of NATO, your country will have a role, however the current bolki-lolki in your parliament suggest that it will not be a leading one.

I'm not sure there will be a Trump doctrine - those polls are getting tighter

He may well be in jail.

Double tap if its a military target is a great strategy.

Ukraine should do it more.

who TF is going to be there to man it all?

That's for them to address, not for you to worry about. In any case, President Zelenskiy has recently signed the mobilisation order into law.

Someone today (either the Secretary of State for Defence Grant Shapps or the Armed Forces Minister James Heappey) said that they expect the conflict to last into 2026.

And as Lord Cameron is now brokering the deal for £220 billion of seized orc 'assets' to be used for Ukraine, they will have a much stronger war chest

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/04/16/frozen-russian-assets-help-fund-ukraine-g7-deal/

And meanwhile r*SSia is massively expanding their cemeteries to cope with the corpses of the men they have thrown into their pointless met grinder. May they fvck off out of Ukraine and stop the killing.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [112]

we will have a Socialist government here.....much worse.....

Or much better.

Labour is Democratic Socialism with a hefty element of Social Democracy. It shouldn't be compared to any other political party abroad. Remember that Socialism, Trade Unions, free compulsory education, old age pensions and the National Health Service were all invented by us. They're as British as Yorkshire tea and crumpets.

The country did well during the Blair years and in issues of foreign policy there will be little or no change from the status quo.

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 2 [363]

Moscovites and Russians are not Sarmatians

Nobody is. They lived many centuries ago.

keeping Poland down to ensure Moscow dominance

This is their clear strategy.

They don't mean it any other way but in a patronising demining way

They still believe they're a superpower. They do t appreciate that most people's view of them is overwhelmingly negative and as dependency on fossil fuels lessens they'll get poorer and poorer.

Digital art doesn't do much for me as I'm not a great lover of computers in general

Same, however some of the stuff that David Hockney has been doing in an iPad is pretty good.

how to use an overhead projector to project a drawing onto a piece of paper

Rembrandt did much the same. Earlier artists too.

everything from WWI to the end of the Cold War as a single conflict

In a thousand years time, they'll be taught together.

socialism

We're moving towards that, and it is a good thing. It does allow for elements of capitalism.

@Alien
Some certainly. There are even Armenian and Georgian communities there.

They chose the ancient name Iran a few decades ago since Persians there seemingly one of several groups.

It is already forgotten here

Yes, you do pretend to forget your losses.

This bully needs to go and soon.

He does, however the threat to undersea cables is nothing new. It's been flagged as a vulnerability for decades.

Read it out of the Holy Bible

I'm sure they know what they're doing.
