Love / Do Polish guys understand subtlety? [8]

Do Polish guys understand subtlety?

You are onto something there. While Poles (certainly the older generation) have manners and finesse, more than in the West, it is also my experience that that things need to be said more "in their face" for them to understand.

News / What impact will Donald Trump's election have on Poland? [331]

Trump will accommodate the reintegration of former parts of the Russian Empire such as the Baltic States and Poland.

But Polonia (especially US based Polonia) pushed for a Trump victory. Are you saying that they were desperately misguided?

Trump is wonderful for America and Russia is wonderful for Russians. What's wrong with it?

Looking forward to the first meeting of the quatuor of "strong men" (Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping and Erdogan), it will be fun. Is Merkel now the real leader of the free world?? And what is the reaction by the Polish govt to the US election outcome?

Plato's idea - that people should be ruled by philosopher kings who 'know better' - was rejected.

Unfortunately, you're right.. Still, the Trump-Putin show will certainly be fun to enjoy watching!

The nomination of General Flynn as national security advisor to D Trump is interesting and maybe a little worrying for Poland. He used to appear regularly as an analyst on RT and attended in 2015 a gala dinner in Moscow in honor of the channel, sitting at the same table as V Putin..

Nah he isn't a russian troll he isn't zealous enough

I agree. He's far too much of a 'character' to be a Russian troll

In fact, I agree with both of you. And Crow does keep us entertained.

@Crow: you mention in another thread your "Sarmatian" connections. I guess you are aware that Sarmats were originally people from Iran?

As if it were written Tramp in Polish (what I hear)

From Trump to Tramp, just one letter.. A reminder that the Tarpeian rock is not far from the Capitol?

Up next we make our Frenchmen great again

Not sure I get it..

Genealogy / Create gene bank of Slavic and therefore Polish people? [44]

They are Serbians who took Islam during Ottoman Turkish invasion on Serbian lands and Europe.

yes, and since history is facetious (or God, depending on your inclination), you have the exact mirror with the Gagaouzes, who are Christian Turks.

France, prefer to use their air force and medical units, do not like to put boots on the ground.

except in Mali, Liberia, Congo, Centrafrica, Guinea, Lebanon, Syria, Irak .. where French (non medical) troops are on the ground

A - 345 years; Silesia is Polish since 990 until 1335 when ...

I do admire your precision Ziemowit; but then where was Silesia before 990??

News / Poland And the Pope: Not Happening, Apparently [58]

I know they have cars but they belong to the community, not the individual nun.

A priest I knew drove around in one of those sporty Alfa Romeos. Used to generate quite a lot of gossip in the parish !
