Polonia / POLES vs BULGARIANS [160]

rychlik, maybe your Bulgarian roommate is die-hard volleyball fan? That would explain a lot ;)

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]


Danger indeed... but wait a moment. Germany didn't even have a border with Soviet Union. So where was the danger? And for who?


Yes, and because Soviet Union was danger, Hitler decided to attack... Poland.
Right after signing a secret alliance pact with his greatest danger and foe. Flawless logic :)

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]


...then he wouldn't begin II WW first. I call it loop of madness :)

As for Polish-German alliance: it would be possible, if only Hitler refrained from any territorial claims. As we all know that wasn't the case, so the alliance wasn't possible - only kind of vassalizing Poland at best.

That's funny, because from the links you've provided, about the quota of current shortage I could find only this:

Can I have the source of this information?

The point is such localization hasn't been done yet, and doing them was not included in Nord Stream project. That's why Sweden is opposing it... and you can believe them as they really doesn't have any other business than ecology here.


Just try to imagine yourself how Baltic ground looks like... yuck.
It's not an easy job to do. And it must cost money. Lots of them.
And the investors would have to pay them.
Incredible amount of stupidity? No, just good old greed.

Uhm. Just one question - how this, classically deadlocked company, somehow managed to sell gas earlier to Ukraine and Poland, and now - suddenly - they can't do this anymore. Heck, how this company ever worked, if there was exact 50% of shares and influence - from one side 50% of Gazprom (one of the biggest companies in the world) and second 50% of... two Ukrainian private businesmen.

I bet those two Ukrainians are pulling the strings now, yeah, that's for sure! *smirk*

And, I wonder if this newspaper is mouthpiece of PiS, too?

So, where is 24% of our contracted gas, Mr. Putin?

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [516]


Because it's right into bullseye example. It hurts, doesn't it? :)

Actually, in terms of guarantees there can't be less trustworthy partner than Russia. Not after what we've experienced in this winter. And we're still experiencing now: where is our 24% of contracted gas we should receive? No, don't answer - let me guess: it's Ukraine stealing it, of course...

(just in case... and for those who wouldn't notice irony, even if they bump right into it)


No, really?? Let me see... if I remember correctly, at the end of 1939 Germany and USSR were getting along more than perfectly. As we know two years later, this perfect and everlasting friendship entered new, I'd say - very intense - stage.

Come on, Sokrates - Russia won't ever do anything bad to Germany, since she will be afraid of being cut from delivery of exceptional and exquisite German goods. Don't tell me you didn't realize that?!?

And cheers for your goverment Marco :)

Could you name exactly what kind of conflict restrains Gazprom from sending 24% of contracted gas to Poland now?


Yes, catastrophy to the natural enviroment. In the depths of Baltic there are tons of chemical weapons from both World Wars. It's ecological time bomb, which should be someday disarmed. But building Nord Stream is not the way to do this, in fact it's quite the opposite.

How about Sweden, are they disallowed to care about enviroment too?


Then start to listen carefully instead dwelling in ignorance.

This 24% shortage is only mere prelude for what will happen, if the Ribbentrop-Molotov pipe opens.
In the meantime what EU is doing? NOTHING.
I guess, we'll have to take our part from German one - then the case will suddenly become the one of the highest importance. Of course, with Poland as guilty of all the mess.

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [516]


And you think they don't buy them now?
If push comes to shovel all they'll have to do is to buy them even more. Instead all that "assembled in germany" (but made in china, though) thingies :)

Now, be a good pet and get back to your training. You don't want to dissapoint your russian masters, do you?

Don't worry, they will always get tons of better ones - from Japan, UK, USA or even China :) But with bratwurst could be a problem... or not? Maybe Austrian would help... bratwurst from Austria, hmm...

Frankly, I don't give a damn if Ukraine really paid or not - because if Russia wanted to play fair with their EU partners then she would not shut the pipe off, at the very least not so quickly and decisive.

It is obvious that sooner or later Russia and Ukraine are fated to sign new contract - until then, EU being warned could brace yourself for the troubles.

Ah, and they could ask for EU observers before shutting down the pipe to confirm that - as they claim - Ukraine is really stealing the gas. They didn't do it. Why? The answer is obvious... because EU observers would notice that with Ukraine transit everything is fine...


Remind me again... who is claiming that Ukraine did not pay?
The same liars from Gazprom, who whole day were claiming that they didn't shut the pipe today until Putin finally said that "yes, they did"?


Till some day, when the leash will be short and strong enough - and then Putin will say: sit! And the german doggies will obey...

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [516]

Putin admitted that it was Russia who completely shut down the ukraine pipe.
So...any comments? from his faithful German lackeys, perhaps?
Do they still dream that when they build their uber baltic pipe, it would protect them from anything?
Or maybe they've finally opened their eyes, and draw the only one logical conclusion: Russia is not trustworthy partner for any serious business
Because if Russians shut down the pipe like this today, they can - and will - do it tommmorow. Anytime, anyplace, if only they find it advantageous for their imperialistic politics.

Because what? Because Gazputin said that? Don't make me laugh.
In Poland, we used to say: "jest prawda, półprawda i gówno prawda" (there is truth, half-truth, and bulls**t truth). We used to, because nowadays we are saying "jest prawda, półprawda i gazprom prawda"

You can have thousand of streams, but there won't be real diversity if they all will be pumping gas from the very some place: mother Russia. That's why nord stream is such an absurd, only Nabucco would give real diversity.


What you can observe now is what happens when you depend only on russian gas...

Hi, BB, ignorant as usual I see.
Quote from wikipedia, just for you:


Whoops. No Ukraine there.
Not if that anything changes anyway, as this mess is mr. Gasputin imperialistic politics fault, Ukraine is mere victim of it. As half of Europe now too.

Actually, after this Russian compromitation EU should immediately cancel nord stream project and put all the resources into the Nabucco project.

How about reading the thread first

Language / Spelling "aunt" in Polish [142]

Ciotka (ciocia) and wujek

There is also obsolete (more or less, depending the region of Poland) forms: stryj and stryjenka. BUT these are not equal to wujek/ciocia.
Wujek is our parent brother, while stryj is our parent sister's husband.
Ciotka is our parent sister, while stryjenka is our parent brother's wife.

In other words: stryj is ciotka's husband, while stryjenka is wujek's wife.
