You mean feminine.

Can't speak for Torq - but the only feminine thing about myself is I like massages.

admit to tearing up...again...as a test that I am not dead yet...

You're so strange.

What's wrong about tearing up over art?

I do it all the time - and I am still ready to step away and eats someone liver or behave as a wolf.

My US passport reminded me where my home was. A feeling like no other...Free to stay and free to leave..

You should show more of your poetic side like me and Torq - the two resident weirdos.

Amazing personality.

I miss him.

And she's also raving mad.

This is usually when the brain stops working, and the penis starts working full time.... At least for me.

Wild/Lusful/... and MAD?

Come on, this is a gift from above. Alhamdulillah!

shall read his posts with more attention then

Not with too much attention please... because as he will be the first to say - oftentimes he is a simple arsonist.

What you have taught me, and others - is that there are a great many ways to love Poland.

@Torq

To hate Poles, as much as he hates them - one must love them to the same extent, or possibly greater.

Believe me.

No one knows as a Russian the fine line between hate and love.

see you able to communicate with Lyzko...I am impressed...

Thank you, thank you very much!

as a favor to the rest of us not so endowed, could you please translate his posts into English

Of course, henceforth I will do my best to translate his posts.

To-date, the content of most of his posts is along the lines of, "Hello, I am Lyzko - a galactic retard. People **** in my hat, and I appreciate it."

Mother Russia

If you felt the warmth of her loving embrace, you would never make jokes again.

You, azzholes, make me side with Russia a lot more than I would otherwise if based on facts and Putin's brilliance.

I know this - even as the Poles on the Forum hate you.

It's evident in many things you wrote over the years that you love Poland.

Not just the school visits, but the way you engage on your "good" days with certain subjects.

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [446]

Worth remembering that he was still more sympathic towards the Greeks than many politicians in Eastern Europe

Expecting Eastern Europe to subscribe to your enlightened ways shows your naivete.

While we starved, and marched into gas chambers - those Greek faggots were sailing their ships around the Mediterranean and behaving as heroes.

Who let you down from Eastern Europe?

Who ate more than he can pay for?

In the Euro crisis it was not the Easterners, but the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain).

OK so we won't buy nukes unless we have solved which way the gravel should disperse ?

No - you don't buy nukes because even Russia and America chaff at the cost of maintaining these things we could never use - maintaining titanic supply chains which are not useful for anything else - and institutes and university faculties (that are similarly useless).

Poland should invest in itself, not the toys of the big boys that want to play at global politics.

@Novichok

Well, regardless of what it was - it served that purpose you mentioned. So it may as well be a Russian terroristic attack.

Tusk said he knew what was up, within 48 hours. Some law enforcement people and curious people in other European countries raised their eyebrows at this kind of "live commentary" of ongoing investigations. Something one would expect more from a Kash Patel, than a Donald Tusk...

It didn't seem to create the reaction Tusk wanted in other places (probably because of all the above reasons), but it definitely did its job within Poland.

Look at what Torq told me - "the PM said as much, and unlike him - I don't have law enforcement and intelligence agencies reporting to me".

"Russia" would do it to show the world that it is, in fact, a threat to it.

Then why not blow it as the train passes over it? The extra $5 of budget for a piece of copper and a battery was too much?

Why not just use a crowbar and a carjack, to f*ck up not one single piece of rail, but dozens of different places along the track? No explosives necessary!

We could be sending Polish trains off their tracks all over the country, with a dedicated group of 25 people - and the Poles would have to spend untold millions to put a stop to it. The equipment would be the same as can be bought in any hardware store.

It looks like the thing just broke...

To be clear - I'm not an expert in explosives, and I don't know how rail steel behaves in different regimes.

Before I saw that photo - I was pretty convinced that we indeed hired some Ukrainian teenagers to do this, and then extracted them to Belarus...

But after I saw this photo, I became not so sure.

Now it seems to me like the original story was full of gaping holes.

Whether or not they would have done so without outside pressure is another question.

Ah, of course...

Wolfgang Schäuble was not a cannibal and an autist, but merely very concerned that Greece learns the correct lessons.

They attacked Poland last weekend

I don't know.

Lots of people are saying that that's exactly what a broken piece of rail looks like.

Lots of people are saying that it's very strange, that a blast could tear apart a heavy piece of iron, but not displace the gravel on which the sleepers are sitting.

-//-

Finally - nobody can adequately explain why Russia decided to go from accidental drone flights, to immediately killing 500 innocent Poles.

I mean... the potential killing of 500 Poles is definitely something to get angry about, but why would Russia do that? Seems a kind of stupid thing to do, no? Without many beneficial effects - if any. Probably more likely to make our life much worse - in fact.

-//--

Maybe you have old and dilapidated rail infrastructure, and a piece of iron - through stress and fatigue - finally broke off, and an attentive engineer noticed it in time?

-//-

Look again at the photo your authorities provided, below. How come the gravel did not go in all directions?

It looks like the thing just broke...

@cms neuf

I understand the emotional impulse - but getting nukes is totally stupid and a huge waste of time and money.

Russia won't attack Poland. If it does - some homeopathic amount of nukes won't change the balance.

No one other than Russia poses any kind of threat to Poland, whatsoever.

As recently as ten years ago, Russo-Polish relations were honky-dory. Tomorrow they could be good again, and then it would make you feel especially stupid to be sitting on a bunch of expensive nukes.

-//-

Instead of nukes, continue to work ever closer with your European partners. Maybe get French or British stationing of nukes in Poland, and permission to use them in emergencies (subject to final French/British approval - to insure against crazy Polish stuff).

Do more military exercises, with various Finlands and Norways.

But best of all - find a way to "extinguish" the Russian threat diplomatically.

Someone will be glad to sell their kit to us.

So far - the only people that sell this stuff are the North Koreans and Pakistanis.

RSA used to be involved in that space, but for the past 35 years is not.

The DPRK and Pakistan assisted Iran and Libya in their research and procurement.

Those two are desperate and poor enough, to sell to the Poles.

I think that's because of the meeting in Kiev on Friday

Well, that does make sense.

On the other hand - that meeting you mentioned - as I understood... happened at the acting ambassadors house in Kiev where the other ambassadors were invited.

Not exactly - the highest level - at which you might decide "Ok - this it - let's roll with it".

A bunch of secondary and tertiary people meeting in an informal setting and shooting the sh*t.

-//-

But nothing else makes as much sense, so I think you are right.

Again, incredible stuff. Just really hard to wrap one's brain around.

don't think he gives two f*cks about Katyń himself. I would be very disappointed (and bored) if Russia allowed herself to be dragged into Katyń issue again.

Not proud to say this as a Russian - but I believe that is the exact calculus by Putin.

He doesn't mind being dragged into it again. Not at all.

-//-

I don't understand why we should pull anything off of monuments to dead Poles (the medals, and the other stupid things the Kremlin ordered).

Even if the Poles are weekly coming out to Soviet POW cemeteries and taking big dumps on those graves - why should we reciprocate and also act like idiots?

There's no good reason to continually mess with the Katyn grounds. But it's done anyway...

Because:

1) We don't sell each other anything
2) We've cut all ties
3) But still, somewhere deep inside - we think it's important to fix things with Poles. Even if it's not "popular".
4) So we go back to picking at this old wound, because there is no other way than this grotesque method to start talking again. Because if we don't, maybe the Poles will simply forget about us one day?
5) While people are alive (the Brain pensioners), and the pain has resonance - why not use it? Tomorrow, it won't be as effective.

It's cynical.

We have all it takes: technology, money, industry, manpower etc

Maybe. Maybe you're right.

To my mind - so long as you don't manage to erase Poles, Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Romanians, etc - and build "Europeans" - it won't happen.

You won't get some United States, or Russian Federation, or China.

White Anglos bind the US. Russians bind the RF. Han bind China.

-//-

During the Euro crisis - you folks were ready to let people die, rather than share a couple hundred bucks with each other. That was telling...

The British managed to whip themselves up into such a paranoia about being taken advantage of - that they had a full mental collapse and bailed. This, was symptomatic.

During COVID, the blanket pulling in all directions started again in earnest - and was pretty damn ugly.

-//-

It's enough to listen to Ironsides and Korvinuses to see why this thing is going to be very hard to put together.

People are still talking about Visegrad groups, and intermariums. So... maybe in another 200 years the Intermariums might recede into the rear view mirror?

Hence, Braun's letter to Lavrov...

It was discussed in Russian press, but a little bit overshadowed by the closure of the Consulate in Gdansk...

Also, it was noticed by our Hohol brothers, causing some dupa ignitions...

It's a nice letter - seemingly not written by a Menorah-extinguishing maniac.

Of course, as a Pole - he had to start with complaints about removing the Virtuti Militarii and September Campaign Cross from the cemetery reliefs. But ok... that's fair, and better than some "saccharine" letter which fools no one.

The Katyn stuff... is exhausting... but probably the only logical place where we can pick up and start rebuilding some kind of shabby dialogue.

There's nothing else to discuss, as we cut everything with each other - so we must go back to the eternal Katyn to have something in common again.

Probably another big visit to the grounds (hopefully without a plane crash), and just do everything all over again.

I think the world is gonna be a lot more like it was in the past.

Everyone's gonna stick to minding their own business in their own little gardens.

Trump has said as much - he wants to focus on his hemisphere. He wants to break the Canadians, invade the Venezuelans, nationalize the Panamians, free his buddy from jail in Brazil, and so on.

China wants to do as it wishes in its waters - and boss around various Philippines and Myanmars without lectures from others.

Russia wants to cobble back together what it can of its own former space.

Europe can be a little neat island of prosperity and calm - like Disneyland. Good museums, good wine, rich history... So long as it can STFU and doesn't try to spread "values" and "principles" to others.

and then it's Eurasia United - from Lisbon to Hǎishēnwǎi.

You are too atomized, too easily divided - to pull off any such thing.

In the end, you'll accept what's presented - because various Orbans and Ficos and Babis' will block all your noble attempts at acting decisively.

The people that had strong opinions, will one day leave. Other, younger people - not as invested in past conflicts - will come and argue that it's important to engage, because not to do so means to not be a player. Everyone will clap, and say prayers for the departing dinosaurs.

Then it'll repeat again.

It's baked into the architecture and DNA of your thing. Meaning - the EU weaknesses.

The founding "partners" - France and Germany - ensured it would be this way.

@Torq

If I am China, and I am watching this comedy unfold - then I would think:

1) These fools cannot coordinate a thing as "simple" as Ukraine, they will be absolutely hopeless during a hypothetical Taiwan.

2) It is not worth negotiating seriously with them over tariffs - because this means to disrespect oneself.

3) Europe must be getting irritated to such a point, that soon it will cross a "red line". Europe negotiated with America in good faith, and did not retaliate on tariffs - because they were worried to lose the American security guarantee during the largest war in Europe since 1945. Now America is dumping Europe anyway, so there is less incentive for Europe to sell away its Crown Jewels (the Common Market). Let us wait for the Americans and Europeans to arrive at a point of complete mutual distrust - and then swoop in as the mediator and broker.

Ha ha xD

He told a group of Senators that this plan was a "Russian wish list".

They went on TV and said as much.

Then, the State Department spokesman came out, and called the Senators a bunch of liars - insisting that America authored the whole thing.

-//-

One of the Senators already came back, insisting he was not under the influence of any substances, and did not hallucinate his conversation with Rubio.

-//-

What a mess...

-//-

Poor Ukrainians and Europeans took this for the "genuine item", and have been discussing it in earnest like fools. Recording joint communiques from the G20 Summit in RSA, and staging press conferences.. lol!

At least the Russians simply said - haven't studied it, can't comment.

Well - now it is the real thing - and not least because the Europeans sh*t their pants and started running around like mad with this plan. It became a self fulfilling bag of sh*t for both them and the Ukrainians.

Sometimes - it's better to just stay silent and let things evolve on "inertia". Europe's silence would arguably be better than the desperate hysterics. America would still have to loop them in.

Of course now we know from Rubio that the document was written by Russians which makes it even more funny and sad at the same time.

Nah... now he says he wrote it. After some "input" from our side.

I don't blame you for losing track... on account this guy said three different things to 3 different groups of people within the past 36 hours.
