That´s his business, we as Poles can count on the Hungarians no matter what. Just as the Hungarians can count on Poles in times of crises, no matter their political allegiances.

It goes both ways honey! Remember the times before conflicts in Georgia or Ukraine? Poland saying, beware of the Russian bear! The eastern flank gotta get safer! What was the answer then? WARMONGERING!

We all know what happened later!
Now also, if Poland would point fingers they would simply dismiss it most likely as selfish, egotistic, or not thinking about the best interests of the EU. Or trying to create strife and conflict, or ruining trade and business and energy supplying for the EU as a whole! We ain´t stupid bro, we know what is coming

Let´s hope so, it´s pushing Poland in to re-evaluating her geo-stratigical positions. Last time that happened was post 1989

Seems like the best idea, I personally dislike how the Chinese government is communistic in any sense (the ideaology is an abomination) and how they behave towards the legacy of Mao... Also how they treat the catholic church.

Alas we need to look at the straight facts, if Poland was able to co-operate and ally itself with pagan Lithuania turning it catholic. At least formally, then we as Poles shouldn´t have a beef with allying ourselves with the Chinese.

1. They are productive, and truthfully Poland´s only rival in terms of production on a national level, co-operation in this regard would be beneficial to both of us

2. They are far more willing to conduct business with Poland then the U.S, also it isn´t interested in meddling with Poland´s internal affairs

3. They are not a close neighbour of Poland like Russia or Germany, so basically nullifying the chance of being an potential military threat or aspirations of invading the country

4. I haven´t heard anything bad about Chinese tourists yet so far
5. There is a historical connection to the past when Poland represented Chinese interests and performed as an ambassador for the Chinese emperor´s in the past. A legitimacy the Chinese government for sure would like to repeat as to increase their legitimacy, especially as an argument towards Taiwan.

6. Poland could help out negotiating between Taiwan and the Chinese government thanks to the experiences of the talks from the round table. Showing how opposition in an communist state is able to find a compromise with the communist faction

7. Poland had no influence in the most tragic events of China in modern history (European powers + U.S+Japan trying to partition it, easily sympathetic to such a situation from an Polish perspective)

8. Polish and Chinese being considered one of the most difficult languages to learn finds understanding and mutual ambition to learn each others languages unless using a diplomatic lingua franca like English.

Workers and farmers will now be forced to come up with ideas and produce locally, or import from other places then the EU if it's too expensive now.

Do you think the youngest generations in the U.K are up for the task or is the U.K dependent on immigration? Or you think throwing a blame who best is gonna feed people? If it's a way back to the fold in the EU. Perhaps, but at what cost tho

Zastanawiałem się nad tym lub też firmą ochroniarską, ale to trzeba mieć kursy zrobione. A to MSZ bez ukończonego papieru z wyższego wykształcenia zapewnię nie wezmą choćbym bardzo chętnie chciał tam pracować. Zwłaszcza w wydziale skandynawskim.

Miałem wybór robienia wyższego wykształcenia ponownie lub szukać pracy teraz. Mam dosyć bycie studentem i chodzić do uniwersytetów gdzie uczę się o sprawach których sami w żaden sposób nie praktykowali a chcieli abyśmy się nauczyli na pamięć bez chęci pytań z strony studentów aby cokolwiek zrozumieć.

To wolę teraz działać i zarabiać pieniądze, znam dobrze język angielski, Norweski i Polski. Podchodziłem dosyć ideałowo do służby zawodowej i się spaliłem na tym. To teraz muszę działać z założenia że nikt mi pracy nie da, i sam ją tworzyć. Miałem niedawno rozmowę o pracę, ale zapewne i też to nie wyjdzie. Więc stawiam najbardziej na pracę w targowisku, tam to będzie zależało w 100% od moich zdolnościach a nie od jakiegoś stereotypach rekrutacyjnych ludzi.

Dobrze znam samego siebie i swoich zdolnościach, tyle że jak o nich mówię to ludzie nie wierzą bo myślą że powinienem być już miliarderem dawno temu czy coś. Bo wychodzą z założenia że pieniądz rządzi światem, a tak nie jest. Jest jedynie narzędziem wymiany i to co ludzie wierzą aby było. Wcześniej wartość była kierowana na wagę złota, i czy to było prawdziwe złoto czy inny metal tyle że ozłocona czy nie. Póżniej dzięki technologii Chińskiej (waluta z papieru) to Waluta miała wartość co rząd zdecydował i inni musieli się tego trzymać nie patrząc z jakiego materiału to jest zrobione. Więc wtedy "pieczęć" monet lub papierkowej gotówki decydowało o wartości narzędzia i decyzja ilość tego w obiegu.

Jakość produktów/towaru/żywności też ma sporo do powiedzenia jeżeli chodzi o popularność pewnych walut.

Dla mnie na przykład to świeży dostęp do Polskiego jedzenia jest bardziej warte niż zarobki w koronach Norweskich w Norwegii, chociaż że mógłbym zarobić więcej według kantoru. Ale patrząc na co mógłbym to wydawać, nie kusi mnie to wtedy zabardzo.

Więc płata 4 000 złotych miesięcznie w Polsce jest dla mnie bardziej atrakcyjne niż na przykład 30 000 koron w miesiącu (12 000-15 000 złotych?) w Norwegii

Po prostu w Polsce jest większy dostęp produktów i więcej ludzi, w dodatku masy dobrego jedzenia bo nie musi być konserwowane zbyt długo ( są zmiany oczywiście w porównaniu z wczesnymi latami 90ymi, ale nadal lepiej)

Gdyby nie Unia Europejska, to bym nawet za pod pewnymi warunkami. To głównie z myślą jaką się to zrobiło jak się tworzyło unię z Litwą w dawnych czasach.

Wielkie księstwo Litewskie: Dużo terenów pogrążone przez wojny, tania inwestycja i odizolowany kraj od wszelkich sąsiadów.

W dzisiejszych czasach, to Ukraina ma to bardzo podobnie. Tyle że gdyby unii nie było to było by lepiej zrobić formę unii z Federacją Rosyjską, bo jak się porównuje Ukrainę z Rosją to każdy wie kto najlepiej wypadnie z czystych liczb matematycznych.

Polska była by też wpływem anty-autorytarnym w silniejszy sposób w Rosji. To są oczywiście mrzonki bo Rosjanie mają tylko tunelową wizję na U.S.A i Chiny. Nie widzą ani szansy ani wartości stawianie na innych Słowian oprócz wykorzystanie ich w wielkiej grze, i to boli...

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [70]

@Bratwurst Boy
It's from a book "Armia Berlinga"
It's in Polish, don't know If It's translated. Book is still in Norway so I am not able to give accurate 100% detailed information about it tho. Only what I vaguely remember (read it a long time ago)

Polish history books tend to have very high quality content, main problem is most are in Polish and tend to write about things regarding Poland, but accounts of contact with foreign allies or enemies like in this case happened.

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [70]

@Bratwurst Boy
There is still hope! I remember reading the account of a German officer during the advance of the Soviet army (reading the accounts of common soldiers of Berling's army) where a Polish soldier reached a Wehrmacht officer who lamented being out of bullets cause he couldn't save his honor with his last bullet so he wouldn't lose it to the red army.

That's when the private said: "But I am a Polish soldier from the Polish army"

Then the Wehrmacht officer in surprise answered: "We are fighting the Polish army?! Then why haven't we surrendered already?!"

Then came an Soviet officer dressed in Polish officers uniform (most of Polish people's army officers were Soviets) and shot a bullet to his head at close range. Then ordered continued assault

There is still hope for mankind BB
Poland just has to be Poland :)

@Bratwurst Boy
I haven't read much about sexual assault committed by Germans during World War Two. The general impression of Germans/German troops conduct was that they were of higher culture

(which is why it was such a shock when the world were given evidence of all the atrocities committed by Germans during ww2)

Still to this day U.S elite, businessmen and everyone having anything to say commend German efficiency and products (even Poles too mind you, although Poles have every reason in the world to say the worst out of spite, German tanks being in the Polish army and German car products in Poland is another example of that)

While Soviet rapes were prelevent, it came out of feeling of revenge. Most citizens of the Soviet Union at the time had been growing up with propaganda of "Polish landlords" being the wicked enemy and reason for all their misery and poverty (directed mostly at former Polish territories, all the way up to Smolensk) and Nazi Germans ideology of superiority towards other races (Slavs in this context) and were met with bewilderment from Soviets when entering German lands which were far more civilized and richer in equipment compared to villages in the Soviet Union.

It lead to wants of revenge and it was taken out on German women, no matter their age, looks or anything as it was motivated by revenge and a power trip "You think you better then us? See how much weaker you really are"

Reading those accounts and listening to documentaries of live witnesses was dreadful, it was literally hell on earth during ww2

Sprawdziłem i nie trzeba płacić poniżej 1300 złotych miesięcznie jako że to można zaliczyć jako nierejestrowane.

Więc mniej papierkowej roboty. Jak będzie nowy ład to próg dochodowy urośnie do 120 000 złotych zamiast 85 000 złotych zanim będzie trzeba płacić 32% podatku zamiast 17%

History / Why didn't Britain declare war on USSR for invading Poland in 1939? [47]

@AntV
Same with Poland's agreement towards the Soviet Union. Romania was prepared to co-operate with Poland regarding the 17th September invasion. Just that Poland's leadership at the decided for Romania to not step in, so that the evacuation to France would be faster/easier.

Poland's leadership simply overestimated France's political&militaric capabilities cause of France's prestige since France was seen as the one holding off the German advance.

The unfortunate lack of knowledge about the French society's pessimism towards war which was a result of the amount of losses from ww1, wasn't understood from a Polish point of view. Until it was too late, it wasn't until later that after 1940 that the main ally switched from France to the U.K.

Which stinged really bad and again cause of the Yalta agreement, then also the Potsdam conference. Cause U.K's influence, economy and power was waning due to the attrition of ww1, then also ww2. (It's not without reason that Churchill was desperate to get U.S.A onboard in to the European conflict)

U.S.A&Soviet Union having no formal obligations towards pre-ww2-Poland. Was doing how they liked and how they saw it fit.

The power shift was heavily on Stalin during the negotiations, while Churchill's influence was waning as Roosevelt was determined to end European Imperialism (colonial rule in Africa&Asia)

Which is why he wasn't interested in strengthening U.K international position in any way. Poland was simply unfortunate with her prospects of potential allies as the Soviet Union had an axe to grind (with Stalin it was even on a personal level cause of the 1920 war near Lwów) while the U.S.A simply had no ambitions to have any influence in slavic countries that would create tension and was fairly naive with it too. (Czechoslovakia is a particularly good example of naivety from the west)

I wouldn't blame U.K as much in this as Stalin simply hoped for the Germans to bleed on the French front (just like during ww1) while instead it happened in the east. With enormous casualties for the Soviet Union as well. The sad thing is that if the red army had come to the aid of Poland in 1939, the Nazi Germans might have been defeated earlier. But, that's of course just speculations now about top level discussions and possibility of outcomes. If Stalin wasn't paranoid and revengeful.

Alas Polish-Russian relations continue to be difficult to this day

What? Just because the English ex-colonies created a federation in America, it doesn't mean that the EU has to do the same. Only a control freak would want that, most elements of the future is out of our control anyhow.

Besides, every time a strict centralized type of governing was tried in Europe it came down cracking. It's asking for trouble...

Do I need to remind you that the Vatican in no way submitted itself to Nazi Germany? Just cause there was a deal reached about the appointment of bishops, doesn't mean that the German state controlled the Vatican. Just like PRL didn't control the Vatican either when it decided which priest was allowed to become bishop.

You are mixing the church administration within a country mostly composed by the clergy with the church (Catholic community).

Priests aren't the only members of the church

I checked the dictionary for the word "churchist" I actually go to mass. That description refers to those who criticize those who don't go, and makes up excuses as to why one himself doesn't (a hypocrite)

For a government ruling party, I would say PiS has a large chance of winning the next elections. Unless Tusk sucessfully is able to underline PiS´s party policies that failed to reach the voters expectations. As PiS has the upperhand with creating a program and actually trying to stick to it (thankfully not allways sucessfully), PiS can easily counter anything the opposition throws at them by making a program and plans and focusing on talking about it in the media.

Nie, nacjonaliści wykorzystują go do walki kulturowej jako argumentu do zwalczania osób których nienawidzą. Jak takie osoby mają pochodzenie z innych krajów z inna religią, jest to "dodatkowy" argument aby ich zwalczać. Używają kościół jako argument, i będąc stronniczy z kościołem a nie będąc praktykującym.

To jest różnica między nacjonalistą a narodowcem w Polsce.

Szczerze myślałeś że wszyscy na prawicy to wierzący tylko? Wielu z nich to konserwatyści walczących o tradycjach, które są powiązane z religią. Tyle że nie z powodu wiary a potrzeby stabilności i tradycji, i będąc częścią pewnych grup społecznych które uznają religie za lepsze niż bez religii.
