News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [269]

Thank you for accepting me.

What are you talking about? We're brothers!

Anyways, Syrski says Russia losses are about 1100 soldiers a day, most of which are fatal casualties...

wiadomosci.onet.pl/swiat/ilu-zolnierzy-rosja-traci-kazdego-dnia-gen-syrski-wskazuje/rzqm10k

... which is rather strange as normally wounded-to-killed ratios usually range from 3:1 to 5:1. What is Russia doing there? Banzai charges?

Germany looks okay

You will breeze through your group.

I'm not even going to watch Germany-Curacao game. It would be like watching Lennox Lewis - Danny DeVito boxing match.

no Ukraine, no Poles

Both Ukraine and Poland can stil make it. Well... not both at the same time but at least one of them. :)

Polen against the Dutch

We drew against them 1-1 twice in the qualifiers, and now we get them in the finals. Three times lucky! :)

That is... IF we win the play-off.

We might actually have a chance for the 2nd place in this group.

Ah, going for the record high-scoring game. Hungary-Salvador 10:1 is still the record. I bet you can beat Curacao 10:0. :)

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [489]

I wonder

A good question.

Another good question, if not necessarily related, is why is the Treaty between the Federal Republic of Germany and Russia called Vertrag über gute Nachbarschaft, Partnerschaft und Zusammenarbeit?

Nachbarschaft? Really? :-/

UK, Ireland / Why Poles will never belong in England [327]

that had one of the biggest empires in history

... and they lost it. Just like the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Belgians or the Ottomans.

Actually, the only country in the world that still holds on to most of the lands gained in their imperial conquest is Russia. They lost some borderlands after the fall of the Soviet Union but are still the largest land empire in the world.

The Mexicans of Europe, who flood every richer country in droves

That's actually no longer true - last year more Poles left Germany than emigrated there, and the same is true for Norway...

The USA and Britain are also no longer very attractive for Poles. Poland has become a destination for immigrants recently, and you can see it in the streets.

This war is so emotionally... complex.

Really?

Remember that you are telling this to a Russophile whose large part of family-tree was cut short by Ukrainians, and who fully supports Ukraine against Russian invasion - to the point that he is ready to put on his reservist boots when necessary.

Still want to talk to me about emotional complexity? ;)

Anyway, gentlemen, I have had a tough day and am ready to retire to bed. I therefore bid you all good night.

Painting Ukrainians as parasites and vampires that collect more in benefits than Poles.

Which is evidently not true and playing on the lowest instincts of the most retarded to gain a couple of percent more support. This is where Russian despotism is better than our democracy - Putin doesn't have to lower himself to gain popularity among neanderthals. :-/

Otherwise neutral Moscow

'Neutral' is an interesting choice of a word. I read Russian sources too (and comments) and they are anything but neutral.

This is exactly how the Ukrainian war started.

You know I think Poland should join this war already for many reasons, one of them being our future relations with free Ukraine. At the moment Germany and Ukraine are our two most important allies - as unreal and spine-chilling as it feels.

Nawrocki is playing games,

He is dreaming of replacing Kaczynski as the PiSfuhrer but when that happens PiS won't be what it is today. Their electorate is dying out (I would say "luckily" but that would be unchristian).

behave in Christian fashion towards these unfortunate people

Do you know why this incident shook Polish public opinion so much? Because it's just that - a shocking incident.

there is common work if we manage to unite. Even some territories

Like taking "Zakerzonia" together? Hm... I'm afraid Ukrainians have a bit more serious reasons to bear a grudge against Russia than a retarded teacher and a broken collarbone (as bad and embarrassing as they are).

they have a big brother that will stand up for them.

*sighs*

Why does Slavic family have to be so dysfunctional?

Do you feel any resentment, Iron? I for sure don't, and the idiots who are easily manipulated by Braun's anti-Ukrainian antics are in the same league as retards getting his autographs on fire extinguishers.

You always speak with such warmth about your Ukrainian students

Not only Ukrainian but also Belarussian and Russian. They are, in most cases, better students than their Polish peers and the speed at which they learn to speak perfect Polish is jaw-dropping.

You are absolutely spot on about Eastern Slavs being the best possible immigrants for Poland (alongside Poles from former Soviet Union). Our governments, no matter PiS or KO, have always realised it, and that's why I know they will sort out the Słupsk incident properly.

Slupsk

Aaaah... my beloved Gród Gryfa, the city of my childhood and early adulthood. ❤️ Słupsk in 1990s was a bit like Dodge City in late 19th century, only slightly more dangerous. We didn't have Indians but Gypsies played the same role and could, on occasion, be even more dangerous - they didn't take your scalp but getting a knife
in the stomach was the usual treat. As for schools - they were a f*cking jungle.

I see not much has changed since then.

Ponieważ udowodnię wam, kto to jest Polak

The idiot should be fired with a wilczy bilet.

Słupsk has always been Polish Wild West. I could write a book about it, and maybe one day I will. As for Gdańsk, I have never not only witnessed but even heard about any such occurrence in our schools. I always got the impression that Ukrainian students were under "special protection" from headmasters and form tutors (especially the first waves) but this protection was by and large unnecessary.

As for Słupsk... it's bloody 2025. Someone should finally sort this city out. Maybe Nawrocki should send territorial forces there, like Trump sent national guards to some American cities. F*cking disgrace.

Remember what the Good Book says, Cms...

"The one who sins is the one who will die.
The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child.
The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them." Ezekiel 18:20

... we are not Nazis, we are not Commies. We are Christians.

she refuses to take responsibility for the daily murders

How is she responsible for that?

She said: "I'm really sorry that this is happening. Unfortunately, I'm not responsible for this situation."

What else do you want? For her to call her Dad and say: "Daddy, please make peace with everyone!".?
