News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [1183]


"I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound.
In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret
of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need."

As Apostle Paul wrote to ancient Poles - and we engraved this fragment of his letter in our hearts. :)

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [1183]


If it was up to me, I'd say war today.

All this boring bullsh*t with potato fuhrer sending third worlders through the border, RC junk tin cans flying into our airspace, some retards not being able to even blow up a train properly... *sighs* ... it is all so tiresome.

I say: let's have this war already and get it over with.


Unfortunately. :-/

Anyways, off to watch Malta-Poland. Not that it's going to be a great game but still.

Hmm... now that you said it - looks like it applies to internet boards as well: you and Velund hardly ever talk to each other. Intetesting...

Perhaps you should try the Polish way: constantly throw sh*t at each other and only unite when foreigners threaten you. :)

If I didn't know you were just trying to wind me up, I would be rather upset now.


Will check it out, thanks. So far, your recommendations have been great.

Aww - that's so cute. 😍

The difference is, Bobi, that Ukrainian was a recognised language in the Soviet Union whilst Silesian was never considered anything else but a regional dialect of Polish.


❤️ ❤️ ❤️ The best president Russia ever had. He and Wałęsa got on legendarily well.


Yes, it does. 232,000 people in a region of 7.5 million. That's 3%.

Both glorious Roman-Catholic clubs. Of course, Celtic being the copy and Hibernian the original.

Hibernian Edinburgh Football Club is one of very few things that make your country tolerable (barely). That and The Proclaimers, Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, Saint John Henry Newman, G. K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, A bit of Fry and Laurie (and quite a few other comedy TV series)... hmm... what else... Sir Clive Sinclair, Stephen Fry (a shameless enemy of Christ but otherwise a very lovable person). That's pretty much it. Oh, an Emma Thompson - how could I forget? She was my first sexual experience.*


That's not a very nice thing to say.

Just as, after all these years, I began to warm up to Brits, you start annoying me and my pal Iron with Silesian nonsense, and talking crap about Catholic football clubs.

Horrible behaviour.

EDIT: * - of course, she couldn't have known that.

That's Celtic. Hibees are the Originals.

Just as 'Cap in Hand' is, Jonno. :)

It's not even a language. There is wide consensus among linguists that Silesian is merely a dialect of Polish.

Anyways, someone mentioned Scotland; I watched a couple of Hibees' games on telly recently - they are being robbed by the hun refs as usual.

Ah, well... there's still sunshine on Leith...

With 3% for and 97% against? Good luck to them. :)


This is, as Iron pointed out, not true. However, in recent years a whole lot of Lviv inhabitants moved to Wrocław. I wonder if they will want to learn Silesian and join the "devolution movement"? :)

So Silesians say.

I was born in Lower Silesia and I have family in both Lower and Upper. Overwhelming majority of Silesians declared in the 2021 census either only Polish identity or Polish first and Silesian second. Those who claim that Silesia is a separate "nation" and that Silesian is a separate "language" are those who identified as Silesian as their first identity - a tiny minority of 232,000 in a region with a population of 7.5 million (4.6 Upper and 2.9 Lower Silesia).

Grunni, you are lifting up my spirit like a true friend that you are! :)

*high five!*

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


Exactly. Wo alle strassen enden etc. ...



... and of course all the wars to end all wars never end anything. :(

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


... but would still chastise me for my Russophilia.


He's surely all right. Złego diabli nie biorą and all that. ;)


You said Turkey. OK, but they are cunning foxes - they're just giving Russia back their S-400s.

You said Scandinavia. Cool, but we have more people than all of them put together.


Good to see that I'm not the only one suffering for the severe case of Polish Paranoia. :)


*fingers crossed*

I hope so. 😂

Yes, we all need a laugh...

*fingers crossed*

Unless, of course, the geniuses who rule Poland allow themselves to be provoked and attack Russia. Those F-35s, Apache choppers, and tanks are not exactly defensive weapons. Why can't we all just get along?




Yes, kick me when I'm lying down, thank you. ;)

Right! At least Germany is on our side this time. *phew*

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


:D


Russia is sending drones to Poland and conducting hybrid warfare through their Belarussian allies, and Americans under Trump don't give a toss about us. We need friends and Brits and the French are the only option left for us... why do I feel this strange historic deja vu? :(
