News / Poland to get the newest version of M1A2 Abrams tank [90]

They are still behaving as if Germany is going to invade militarily again *rollseyes*

...or as if they are reading comments about Poland on the German internet! :D

Russians

A lot of their forces are currently bound in Ukraine. Judging by Putin's recent statements they will attempt to solve the "Ukrainian problem" first. Also, they can't weaken Caucasus and Chinese border too much, so that should give us about 4-5 years of relative peace. It might seem like a lot of time, but it isn't. Hence the government spending money like crazy, strenghtening the territorial defence etc.

NATO

If NATO fails to meet their obligations (quite possible with Biden in power and the West full of Putinverstehers) then we'll be alone again as usual.

That's why we have to:

a) make invading Poland unprofitable - it's simple economics, question of money: if winning war against Poland will cost more than benefits the invader would get, they won't invade; *hence the military equipment purchases*

b) make Poland indigestible - if for some reason they invade anyway and, most likely, defeat the professional army, then we need to have underground structures, people ready for partisan warfare, suicide bombers etc. etc. *hence the emphasis on patriotic education at schools and territorial defence build-up*

All in all, for an objective observer, it looks like PiS is preparing for war. Or maybe it's just the case of si vis pacem para bellum usw.

Off-Topic / Additional capacity for Nordstream II - Germany plans to buy hydrogen from Russia and use NS II for transport [420]

"Allies" backstabbing Poland. No, that's Impossible! Who would have thought such thing is even remotely possible? *rolls eyes*

In Poland there are usually two camps: pro-German (PO) and pro-US (PiS) - I wonder how they feel now, being betrayed by both. :)

Poland just needs to tighten up 3 Seas Initiative

That'll probably happen, but in general we will have to start looking towards China more. As for both the EU and the US - they can all f**k off, a bunch of backstabbing bastards.

resources to sustain itself

Self-reliability is very important. Poland has to keep that in mind and start deep changes in her farming and industry. We are in a deadly danger - with Russians and Germans making anti-Polish deals over our heads again, but this time it's even worse - the USA are supporting them in it. The EU, the USA and Russia are all against us. Poland is in grave danger - the vultures are circling around our heads again.

Kania, crazy brate, what Russian-German deal?

NS2 pipeline - the worst backstabbing against Poland since Austria taking parts in the partitions.

Poland allow of transport of most heavy Russian armament to Serbia via Poland.

Good, Serbia are our friends.

Don`t be moron brate. Its more likely Polish-Russian deal against Germany.

*facepalm*

Nord Steam is joke

Nord Stream is a tool to make sure that Germany becomes the main energy hub in the EU, and in return Russia gets a tool to blackmail Poland and Ukraine (plus some nice money to finance their invasions). Whenever Russia invades someone from now on (be it Georgia, Ukraine, the Baltics or Poland) we will have to call it a joint Russian-German invasion - because Germans will be financing it.

Tell me that you understand, please. Give me sign.

There is only one sign I know - White Eagle in Gold Crown... and vultures circling around it.

I agree

All Polish patriots do. The signs are more obvious than ever.

Please cut down on your number of quotes

Off-Topic / Additional capacity for Nordstream II - Germany plans to buy hydrogen from Russia and use NS II for transport [420]

Poland would never be an ally....only a pawn!

We are a pawn for the USA and the EU as well (as the NS2 deal clearly shows).

Where is the difference?

China doesn't have (and never had) any hostile intentions or territorial claims on us.

what leverage will Poland have if its then also loses the EU support?

The EU support is questionable recently. Poland is attacked on legal basis (the court reform) and criticised for rejecting the cultural revolution (the whole LGBT/gender thing) - there are even rumours that the EU rebuilding funds (Corona) will be taken away from Poland if we don't succumb to the demands of stopping reforms.

The EU seems to be against us, the Russian threat is more real than ever, and the Americans whom we considered the only reliable (more or less) ally is supporting Russia in building NS2. The demons from the past are back again. Scary stuff. :-/

Yes, the awareness of Vatican's actions from the past (against Poland and against Slavia in general) is rising in Polish society.

Just don't overreact...

Poland never overreacts - it is against our nature. We are simply showing our righteous indignation.

if Poland would had used the recent decades better for networking in Brussels (...) that pipeline would be long dead by now...

Probably.

I blame the PO government - their complete and utter unwillingness (bordering on contempt) to help the poorer strata of Polish society brought PiS to power and the problems with the EU started then.

New American Ambassador to Poland...

...is not needed.

They can send him to Moscow instead, to help with licking Russian butts as Biden just did with NS2.

emotional fireworks

Emotional fireworks can spur people into action when pure reason is not enough for them to act. Bad things are happening around Poland and the government should react, and not pretend that everything is OK because it isn't!

Spike mentioned Turkey as one of possible allies. Perhaps Turkey, Iran, Venezuela and China would have to be looked at in different light these days, as all the old "allies" seem to care nothing about Poland's interests. And, of course, the co-operation within Trimarium has to be strenghtened as well. The EU and the USA treat us as if we were some bloody colonial bantustan. It's not only what they did, but how they treated Poland and Ukraine in the entire matter. F**k them all - strenghten the army, build strategic reserves, invest in farming and industry, create new and multiple alliances (Iran, China etc.) and f**k them all.

Maybe Merkel will write a book about her time as the Chancellor some time later...and then she will explain why she did what she did

Do you think she will describe how Gazprom corrupted former German Chancellors? Fat chance...

it is in USA interest to build up three seas area for a number of reasons, if they would act according to logic

... and that's a big "if". What on earth is the logic behind Biden bending over to Russia - strenghtening their economy and giving them a tool to use against America's allies? And I don't buy all this "we have to succumb to Russia now or they will ally themselves with China" nonsense. The Chinese see Russia as an expansion area, with sparsely populated Siberia, full of arable land and natural resources and would never treat them as allies in any real sense of the word.

This German-Russian-American deal is wrong on so many levels it boggles the mind. No logic in it at all. I can understand that Merkel's political career is coming to an end and Gazprom might have bought her, just like they bought Schroeder before, but the Americans taking part in it is a different level of surreality.

Germany-hating PIS

Where did you get that "germany-hating" bit from, BB? PiS has agreed to the GreenTech revolution (this 2050 green deal) and they announced that coal mines will have to be closed down eventually (causing a lot of unrest in mining communities). Opposition to LGBT/gender revolution stems from them having to take into account their conservative catholic voter base more than anything else (Kaczynski is most likely a homosexual person himself), and the whole "war reparations" thing is only for internal use to rally the more nationalistic elements within their party.

When you analyse their economic and political decisions you won't notice any Antigermanismus or Deutschenfeindlichkeit in their actions. It is during the PiS rule when most panzer forces were moved from the western to eastern Poland and it is during their reign that Polish-German economic exchange has been steadily rising.

However, I have no idea how they will react now, after this NS2 affair... they WILL have to do something.

Good point :)

If PF was representative Konfederacja would rule Poland with very weak PSL and PO in the opposition and PiS virtually nonexistent. :)

perception

Perception doesn't matter that much. Anyway, it's only two years left of PiS's reign. All the polls show that PO and Polska2050 will get enough votes to form a coalition government. The PiS era is slowly coming to an end. They did some things well, some things badly, but in general not many people will miss them. Unless they do something spectacular at the end of their reign (I wouldn't hold my breath though).

Wouldn't that be trading tepid allies with a demanding master, though?

Nobody bosses Poland around. If China tries that, we will tell them to f**k off too - you can count on that.

News / Heavy fighting. Legia Warszawa brutally attacked in Croatia by pro-German fanatics saluted by local mob ! [49]

Legia is hated in Croatia ever since they played Hajduk Split in European cups (sometime in 1994, I think), and Legia supporters were shouting "Serbia, Serbia!" during the game. They were attacked by both Croat hooligans and Croat police after that. Legia was always very pro-Serbian; you often see "Kosovo is Serbia" banners or t-shirts on their stadium.

News / Poland hopes to attract hard-working, trouble-free immigarnts - Ukrainian, Belarusians and Vietnamese [129]

Why would I feel sorry for them?

Hm... perhaps because they want to run away to a better, safer life, just like countless Poles did (including yourself, I believe).

Polish emigrants seem to have rather short memories, so perhaps a short refresher would be in order:

- in the 1980s over one million Poles left Poland permanently, most of them illegally - they were not political refugees, they were economic migrants. They went through Austria (visas weren't required there), Italy ("tourist" trips to see Vatican, the Pope etc.), Germany (using fake documents to obtain residency) or even Greece (crossing the Bulgarian border, where they went "on holiday");

- there was this Traiskirchen camp in Austria - with conditions for Poles not much better than the camps for immigrants today; how easy it is to forget!

- in the city parks of Rome Poles were sleeping, cooking, doing their laundry - all before the eyes of amazed Italians; how short are the memories of some!

Over one million people - that's a scale unheard of before in Europe - left Poland in 1980s. Nobody shot them, nobody used "tear gas or skunk spray". Europe was patient, Europe was generous and understanding. Poles got help not only from foreign governments but also from various organisations and ordinary common people. Today majority of Poles think that they don't owe anything to anybody...

Now, as for the people (yes, people) stuck on the Belarussian border:

- Lukashenka is a dictator and a hardcore son of a b*tch - he put those people there in a vain attempt to destabilise the EU, and he doesn't care two hoots if they die because of hunger, cold or lack of medical care. The question is: are we the same as Lukashenka?

- the EU forced Iraq into suppression of flights to Belarus, so the scaremongers who say that there will be "millions" flooding us if we let in the couple of thousands stuck on the border are just that - scaremongers;

- are we, as a country, strong enough to help a couple of thousand of poor, frightened people or do we prefer to play the silly little games with Lukashenka (which, by the way, is exactly what he wants)?

This "crisis" can end very quickly: let those people in, put them somewhere in more or less humane conditions, provide health care, especially for women and children - process every single case individually and then decide the right course of action. Treat them fairly (at least in the same way our people flooding Europe in 1980s were treated) and show the world that we are better than Lukashenka. Show the world that apart from guns and dicks we also have brains and hearts.

Just an idea.

News / Poland hopes to attract hard-working, trouble-free immigarnts - Ukrainian, Belarusians and Vietnamese [129]

The only viable option is probably to let those at the border in but not before the border is secured in PRL style.

There are children as young as 3 years old, requiring proper nutrition and medical attention; before the 180-kilometer fence is finished some of them can die. There is no question about securing the borders and not allowing uncontrolled flow of immigrants (hence the EU deal with Iraq, suppressing flights to Belarus), but people who are already there should be let in and dealt with in civilised manner. Keeping them trapped at the border, cold, hungry and in appalling sanitary conditions is barbarous and inhumane. We are better than that.

As for cultural differences... Poland is historically probably the most multicultural country in Europe - apart from home nations (Poles, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Lithuanians) we had large Dutch, Scottish, Jewish, German and Russian settled communities and smaller ones from all over Europe - all of them, including even muslim Tatars, were with time not only by and large assimilated but also polonised. The attractiveness of Polishness is such that we don't have to worry about what happened in western Europe or Scandinavia.

no one in the EU wants a replay of 2015 (let alone a replay of 2015 that's three times the size)

Flights from Iraq to Belarus have been supressed, the border fence is being constructed and border guards forces reinforced - there is no risk at all of a 2015-like situation. It's only a question of letting in 2-3 thousand people stuck at the border instead of watching them die of cold and hunger. Or we can show the world that we are exactly the same bastards as Lukashenka.

Why would I care about some children more than their own parents? Those people do not care about their children, they can always make more

Because the culture and values system of parents is not their children's fault?

How much less would such person care about women or children of some strangers?

Adolf Eichmann was a true family man, he had four children about whom he always spoke with love and affection, even during his trial in Israel he said he loves children. When they asked him how can he say that he loves children when he murdered millions of them, he said "yes, but those were Jewish children".

I see similar approach in some posters here - "of course, children have to be taken care of, loved and cherished BUT those are Muslim children, their parents don't care about them, they can always make more etc. etc."

One has to be a compassionate Christian

Not really. Compassion is not an exclusively Christian thing but it's a trait present in all those who aren't completely devoid of human feelings and common decency. But you are right that it is quite impossible to be a Christian and not feel compassion towards the poor, ill and homeless.

When did the number swell to the thousands?

Spokesman for the Border Guard (Straż Graniczna) informed about 3.5 thousand attempts at illegal border crossing. I assume he didn't mean deer or wild boar. Of course, the same people might have attempted to cross the border several times, there is no exact data.

we can't neglect those who are closest to us neither

Exactly.
