History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [483]

Have you been to confession

None of your f*ckin business, volksdeutsch.

you should love your neighbors

... and I should also be nicer to people. I know. But sometimes it's hard. Everyone must carry his cross.

Not much I suppose.

We should pray for his soul but not make a hero or a lay saint out of him. He wasn't.

@PolAmKrakow

If, by any chance, you had my post #955 in mind when you talked about leftists (lol) saying "Charlie Kirk asked to be killed", then I would kindly ask you to perform a thought experiment...

A) Imagine a leftist person who says that some number of Muslim-immigrant-related rapes and murders are an acceptable trade-off for preserving the right of importing as many (with no limit really) Muslim immigrants as we want to. Imagine now that this person is raped and murdered by a Muslim immigrant.

B) Imagine a rightist person who says that that some number of gun-related deaths (e.g. school shootings or people being shot in public while giving a speech) are an acceptable trade-off for preserving the right of people having as many (with no limit really) guns as they want to. Imagine now that this person is shot by a civilian gun owner.

... in neither of these cases did the person in question "ask to be killed". You cannot claim, however, that the views they held were by no means connected to the way they died.

Pawian

By the way, does anyone know what happened to him?

I've heard rumours that he took his backpack, went to Ukraine to apologise to Ukrainians first and has been missing ever since.

But maybe it's just vicious people talking nonsense.

With a woman on his lap he would be better off making 3 or 4 future soldiers for Poland (that would, in 20 years, produce an equivalent of a Russian company, according to your maths). :)

@Korvinus

What's 40,000 soldiers?

In just one battle (Bzura) in September 1939 we counter-attacked 425,000 Germans with over 200,000 of our own, and today we get excited about 40k men. It's not even enough for one proper battle. :(

But I suppose Zapad this year is smaller than it used to be.

Bosak was just speaking in the Sejm

Look, there must be at least one moderately pro-Russian party in the Sejm.

Balance of nature, as Pawian used to say.

Well, whoever it was, Russia or Ukraine, who sent those drones, we have to thank them. I haven't seen so many funny memes since Braun was running in Sejm with a fire extinguisher. xD

just planed and landed in the fields, almost intact

Yes, that's curious - if they ran out of fuel shouldn't they crash? It's as if someone landed them exactly where they were supposed to land.

More feeble orc attempts to obfuscate.

Let's read and analyze everything, from both sides. Surely that's what's being done "by those whose job it is to do it", so let's imitate those wisemen. :)

The best calm and balanced way to deal with such violations of airspace would be sending accidental unarmed drones to Królewiec and Belarus, and giving Ukraine 100 drones and 1000 Starlinks every time it happens.

But then they would really be tempted to send those drones themselves! xD

How about judging them for their job as Polish politicians?

Good point.

By pro-Russian I meant the perception of their actions by the general society (as in the examples given in the opening post).

Also, being perceived as pro-Russian does not disqualify a politician in public eyes (Mentzen and even Braun enjoy a solid, steady support).

Putin's cunning plan

If so, then my opinion of Putin has just dropped significantly.

After the provocation there are voices in the EU to send more aid to Ukraine, and what's the point of helping to strenghten the air defence of NATO East Flank which is Putin's obvious next target?

Testing Polish reaction and NATO response is the most commonsensical explanation.

especially to the Dutch pilots

The shopkeepers can actually fly and shoot? Well, well, well... Fair play, to Latający Holendrzy. :)

I've seen people

Who is saying Ukraine "fake manufactured" those drones? Just curious because it takes a special kind of idiot to believe that.

Any links?

Sure...

businessinsider.com/department-13-mesmer-drones-2017-1?IR=T

311institute.com/new-us-military-intercept-tech-lets-operators-take-control-of-enemy-drones/

yahoo.com/news/military-tech-hacks-takes-control-234956714.html

... the technology has been available for roughly a decade now (the second article is from 2017).

Remember how he brought his dog to the meeting with Merkel even though it was common knowledge she's afraid of dogs?

Yes, but he's certainly not retarded enough to believe that 19 unarmed drones would intimidate Poland. It was more about testing NATO response.

Ukraine doesn't produce those drones and even if they decided to "fake manufacture" them it would be very risky considering how closely supervised the skies are in this conflict and how politically volatile it would be if it turned out they were sent by Ukraine

Nobody says Ukraine produced or "fake manufactured" these drones, but they might have hacked them, taken over control and redirected them towards Poland. Such action would be nearly impossible to prove, so not much risk for Ukrainians and a lot to gain.

He didn't mention the possibility of those drones being "taken over" by Ukrainians.

Nobody mentions it officially for fear of being called a ruska onuca etc. but there is such possibility and there were instances of both sides - Russians and Ukrainians - taking over the other side's drones.

However, taking into account that Zapad '25 is beginning soon and Putin feels strong support from China, he might well have ordered such provocation. Maybe to test the NATO response, maybe to scare us (lol). Russians sometimes act illogically. I'd say it's 65-35 chances between Putin f*cking around and Ukraine trying dirty tricks. So much more likely it was Russia.

The reason that it's happening is because the West wasn't decisive enough in 2022. I blame nuclear weapons. In the good old days, rotten, corrupt and weak countries who tried to f*ck around too much, very quickly found out. Nuclear weapons allow decomposing, stinking bodies of certain countries to be kept on life support. Disgusting.

It's against nature. It's against honour. It's against natural selection.

drones that they used for attacking Ukraine have only a range of 700 km

This is of course bullsh*t - some of the drones have much higher range and even the Gerberas were equipped with extra fuel tanks to increase their range.

... not to mention still quite a few trained reservists (especially in AA defence ;)).

not least the vodka at 9am

Novi is half dead and a clown and he can still cause some annoyance in the forum. In the same way JKM can still cause some annoyance in Polish politics.

Polish intelligence services are competent, professional, know their job very well and care about Poland which they swear to protect

You should be writing for Polska Zbrojna ha ha

Well, he certainly is not a big friend of Ukraine.

is in the civilian sector or abroad

Mostly in the civilian sector. As I said before, Poland is by and large a victim of her own success: a G20 economy, ever increasing wages, and practically zero unemployment make military jobs quite unattractive to most men with brains and balls. Also, the army is full of slightly retarded troglodytes who are there only because their dad or uncle was/is in the service.

In the old days it was 'za mundurem panny sznurem'; these days if you tell a girl you're in the army it's 'nie wiem co czuję, muszę to przemyśleć' haha :D

As in the thread title.

Of course, I don't mean muppets like Piskorski, Maciak or Tołwiński but proper politicians with at least a couple of percent support among Poles and active in/with some influence on mainline politics.

(A) Sławomir Mentzen (Konfederacja) - publicly called for a negotiated agreement with Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine and implied that Ukraine is treating Poland unfairly, made comments aligning with pro-Russian or at least Russia-conciliatory narratives.

(B) Grzegorz Braun (Konfederacja Korony Polskiej) - was praised by Russian media for his positions on Ukraine, voted against the Sejm resolution condemning Russia's invasion, and in 2022 joined a pro-Russian rally.

(C) Janusz Korwin-Mikke (Konfederacja ORWiN) - publicly supported the annexation of Crimea, challenged Russian accountability (e.g. for the Bucha massacre), appeared on Russian TV, and pushed narratives blaming Ukraine and minimizing Russian aggression. Also, notorius for calling Putin "Jego Ekscelencja".

(D) other (why?)

Cast your votes.

The plot thickens even more - General Kukuła (Chief of the Defence Staff) confirms that Belarus warned us before the drones entered our airspace. So, it looks like they might have been taken over electronically and redirected towards Poland by someone who has such capability.

In other news, the Czechs offered to send a special chopper unit right away to help us defend from low flying drones. Fair play, little brothers. :)

He wants to be a God Emperor like Putin.

God Emperor, eh? Well, it's good to have ambition... maybe he will even transform himself into a huge sandworm and live forever.

Why is it invariably the greatest psychopaths that run empires? Or maybe it's the power than makes them psychopaths?

I trust that you would feel the same in my position

I would definitely feel the same. Little to gain, a whole lot to lose.

Yet History is a sterner mistress than Karma, and she has seldom shown favor to Poland. So, upset? Yes, I would be. Surprised? Not really.

Xi calls him his "dearest bosom friend" and "teacher". Kim Jong Un says - "Great leader and soulful brother".
