News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [883]

stupid parasites

Parasites? Please, try not to be more retarded than absolutely necessary. :)

Poland:

- spends the highest share of its economy on defence among NATO members,
- purchases sh*tloads of weapons from the USA, creating thousands of jobs in industry based in America (isn't that exactly what Trump wants?),
- buys LNG from the US,
- sells for peanuts (practically at cost price) TNT that USA uses to produce bombs and artillery ammo (around 90% of the TNT imported into the U.S. comes from Nitro-Chem in Poland);
- maintains her own strong army, ready to stand up to the coming Russian invasion, even by herself if need be.

So what else, according to you, should Poland do not to be considered a "parasite"?

If the US doesn't want to honour their obligations, fine - just f*ck off of Europe and stop moaning like a b*tch; but to call Poland, of all NATO members, a parasite is a display of uncommon mental retardation even by your standards.

Not to mention that Mr. Grunwald was talking about Norway, quoting a Norwegian expert, and he linked a Norwegian website, to which you replied with your usual torrent of idiocy towards Poland. xD Please, make a New Year's resolution to think for 5 minutes before you post something. Even for a complete and utter idiot like you this 5 minutes should be enough not to post at least half of your bullsh*t :)

Off-Topic / Toxic Masculinity [46]

@Feniks

Thank you for sharing your story. I hope all is well in your private life now.

People whine about single parents but far better that than parents who are screaming constantly at each other.

It depends. If a child is born to a single mother and is raised from the beginning by her, or if a mother dies before the child can remember her and it is raised by a single father, then I can agree. However, we were talking about people with kids divorcing and here child/teen psychology in unequivocal and ruthless - children who go through their parents' divorce are hurt profoundly and irreversible damage is done to their psyche.

That's why, apart from cases of domestic violence, people with children should never divorce. It is a question of responsibility and common human decency - the innocent children that they brought to this world are more important than their wishes, whims and lusts. If those people are not complete and utter neanderthals, they will not "scream constantly at each other". Feelings they once had for each other may fade away but the sense of responsibility should tell them not to hurt their children just because they f*cked up their marriage.

Of course, modern world will tell you something exactly opposite - f*ck the kids, follow your own wants, realize your potential, you have right to be happy blah blah blah.
It's all devil's speaking.

Andrew Tate

He really gets on my nerves. Idiots like him, plus the Red Pill/MGTOW incel crowd are a part of today's problem with people forming lasting relationships and honouring their oaths and obligations. Of course, there is much more to it - toxic, aggressive feminism, capitalists adjusting the economy so as to force women out of their houses and into the workforce, popular culture creating unrealistic expectations as to the future spouse etc. - the entire modern culture is set against families.

cases since involving GP's and breach of trust

Incomprehensible. I mean, for crying out loud - you are a doctor, you have high social status, you're making tons of money, you're intelligent (you have to be to finish medical studies), you could pick and choose and get pretty much any woman you want, and instead you choose to molest your patients and risk your entire professional and private life. Mind boggles.

Do you know the number?

Well, either this kind of women is especially present only among people in my circle (big city, middle class, educated), because I have six (yes, six) examples of such behaviour among my acquaintances, and it's not always about physical violence but also psychological/financial, or it is a wider phenomenon. Personally, I would bet for the latter. Women biologically tend to choose stronger men but they seem to lack the ability to distinguish the real strength of character from ordinary primitive aggression. I've seen it too many times, even in highschool and at university.

They constantly test men

Possibly. But their testing tools are not very sophisticated and they fail them.

doesn't justify being beaten up, raped or killed

It certainly doesn't justify any of these things. One has to admit, however, that the number of women who say things like 'łobuz kocha najmocniej' or who abandon good, solid guys because they're "boring", and then end up beaten up and take advantage of, is staggering. It's as if women (not all of them, but a surprisingly high number) had some sort of auto-destruction mechanism built-in when it comes to creating lasting relationships these days.

noone should ever complain about anything in the relationship

Hmm... well, I always say that everyone has a husband or a wife they deserve and whom they themselves have chosen. When the problems appear, and two people are not able to solve them either on their own or with a help of marriage counsellors, then they shouldn't complain but simply split up; unless they have children, then they should just grin and bear it* - tough luck. Życie to nie bajka, nie głaszcze cię po jajkach, jak mawiał klasyk.

* - with the obvious exception of domestic violence

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [883]

The well known kin in the US will be always (to me) preferable to that unknown stranger from far away.

Well, maybe for you they're kin. Not for us.

You don't know how many times I read online from MAGAmericans: "they're not white, they're Slavs" (about Poles and Russians). So maybe the coming new multipolar world order will be about white supremacist anglo-saxon MAGA racists (and their Jewish overlords) against the rest of the "inferior" races (Chinese, Slavs, Latinos etc.)?

Maybe it is time for the nazi c*nts, for whom a Russian/Polish blue-eyed blonde isn't white enough because she's a Slav, to have their anuses stretched a little bit? A little bit denazified and demilitarised? The more I learn about MAGA and the more I read what they say online, the more I warm to Putin.

One interesting thing to watch is the USA-Venezuela conflict. China has already voiced their support for Venezuela (and so did Russia).

If America doesn't care, attacks Venezuela, deposes Madura, and installs their puppet governemnt, then it means that they retained at least a little bit of their former power.
If, however, TACO tacoes again, and Americans prove to be impotent even in their own backyard, then it will indeed be

That number stretches all credibility.

Why? The UK has higher population than Poland and the economy hasn't exactly been great recently. If 800,000 Poles could at some point emigrate to the UK, why can't 185,000 Brits come in the reverse direction?

things will never revert to the status quo anti

Very accurate observation. China managed to outplay the US economically and the damage cannot be reversed. Hence, Poland faces the situation I mentioned in #827.

You're also spot on about the Chinese being able to absorb much more pain than Americans. The question is: if this is so evident for you and me, why isn't it evident for European politicians? Perhaps it is more comfortable to live in denial and engage in wishful thinking; but it's quite dangerous though.

Personally I don't think they will

The only real advantage that the USA had over China was the worldwide net of close alliances with high-tech economic superpowers: Japan, European Union, Canada, Taiwan, South Korea. Ever since Trump became president, he tried his best to significantly weaken these ties, and - as a result - the American primacy in world politics is pretty much over.

As you say yourself, the economic war with Europe is highly unlikely. So my question remains valid - why pay protection money if the gangster says he's not providing any protection anymore? Doesn't make sense.

both from the post war diaspora and returnees from the post-2004 migration wave

It's probably not Poles coming back - the number would most likely be higher then. There were almost 800k Poles in the UK in 2017, and only slightly more than 400k in 2024...

bullshit made up by a real estate agency, just like the number of Brits living in Poland in 2023 being 184,900

A United Nations / migration study reported that approximately 184,900 Britons lived in Poland in 2024, up from around 41,000 in 2015, reflecting a significant increase in migration from the UK to Poland in recent years.

polskieradio.pl/395/7789/artykul/3574359%2Cpoland-jumps-into-top-10-destinations-for-uk-migrants-as-numbers-quadruple-%E2%80%94-study?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Poland has entered the top 10 destinations for UK migrants as the number of Britons living there more than quadrupled in recent years, a study using 2024 UN data found.

A study by Spanish real estate agency 5 Real Estate, drawing on UN figures, shows Poland ranked seventh among destinations chosen by UK citizens. The Briton population in Poland rose to 184,900 last year from 41,000 in 2015.

Hmm... whom would I rather trust: United Nations or GUS wizards?

Because NATO is literally the definition of a protection racket.

Not anymore it seems.

In a decent, honest, mafia protection racket, I would pay Al Capone (the USA) a certain sum of money (buy sh*tload of American weapons) and then if a minor thug (Russia) broke a window in my shop then Al Capone's men (the US Army) would f*ck him up.

These days, however, Al Capone says that he doesn't give a f*ck about the windows in my shop and that he will now just retire into a life of quiet contemplation in his own home. Why then should I keep paying him? Hence my original question.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [883]

In this war they have learned nothing

What have WE learnt, Cms?

That Russia doesn't respect signed agreements? That they lie through their teeth (hours before the invasion they still claimed their army is at Ukrainian border only on exercise)? That Western Europe would rather make a deal with Putin or fight with Ukrainian, maybe even Polish, hands without becoming directly involved themselves?

We knew all that well before 2022.

So what have we learnt? Why are we buying American weapons when the USA made it abundantly clear that they are not interested in Europe's safety? Are we counting on Britain with actual deployable land forces half the size of NYPD? Independent analysis (military industry reporting) indicates that the number of British Army personnel medically and fully deployable into combat roles was around ~18,398 as of mid-2024...

army-technology.com/news/british-army-has-under-19000-troops-able-to-fully-deploy-in-combat/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

... or maybe somebody wants to count on France? I congratulate such geniuses if there are any. So what have we learnt? Where is our Swiss style territorial defence? Where is our military industry given priority and increasing production? Where is our 300,000 professional soldiers we heard so much about? Where is our "Eastern Shield"? Where is our Plan B for a very likely scenario of Americans washing their hands and Western Europe turning out to be a gutless bunch of shopkeepers?
Where is our extra alliance, outside NATO, with Scandinavia and Turkey? Where is our nation-wide reserves training and restoration of conscription?

What the f*ck have we learnt?

Just an interesting piece of useless information:

- the war between the Soviet Union and Nazi Third Reich lasted 1418 days;
- the war between Ukraine and Russia is in its 1405th day.

That is, if we start counting from the beginning of RMO (Retarded Military Operation) and don't take into account Crimea or earlier fights in Donbas.

Real Estate / Flat rental in Warsaw [54]

Actually they didn't, as the GUS Demographic Yearbook 2020 makes clear.

It was a 2022 Demographic Yearbook, in which they gave data for 2020 - Gdańsk in bottom right corner...

1

Also, those "social services", do they get more money or less money based on supposedly needing to provide services to more people?

Actually, it's the other way around. They are municipal workers and municipal revenues are often tied to registered residents in a way that punishes higher numbers. From a city's perspective, additional registered residents may increase costs more than revenues, especially if they are immigrants or low-income workers. As a result, cities are institutionally resistant to rapid increases in official population. When you add to this a wildly inaccurate residency registration system you have a recipe for statistical disaster.

All in all, I would rather believe a "Spanish real estate company" (or any other private company for that matter) than GUS when it comes to statistical data.

Unless you really think that influx of war refugees from Ukraine, and huge internal migrations to Gdańsk, resulted in an increase of 800 people in 5 years. In such case I suppose you will believe anything and there's no point arguing with you.

it's not as if GUS have access to all the records

LOL

Dude, GUS is the last place you want to go for information on demographics, residency etc.. Those idiots said in 2020 that the population of Gdańsk is 486542 and in 2025 that it's 487371. So, they're saying that in the last 5 years the number of people in Gdańsk grew by about 800, whilst in reality we have about 120000 Ukrainians alone (social services estimate that every fourth inhabitant of Gdańsk is Ukrainian), not counting other immigrants and Poles from smaller cities and villages in Pomerania, Masuria and Mazovia who keep settling in Gdańsk in droves.

The system of population evidence in Poland is archaic and wildly inaccurate and you have been living here long enough to know that. It takes an extraordinary idiot to believe in any number given by GUS.

they don't understand the immaculate conception

Don't confuse Immaculate Conception with Virgin Birth, Ron. The former applies to Mary, the latter to Jesus.

As for Novichok, he is best ignored. 80 years old is way too old for education and his stubbornness makes repentance and conversion highly unlikely. We have to accept that he is a vessel of wrath prepared for destruction. God is great.

Please don't repeat utter b0llocks that was first written by a Spanish real estate company.

Since when is United Nations a Spanish real estate company?

According to UN data from 2024, the number of UK citizens living in Poland has increased more than fourfold. (...) In 2015, around 41,000 Britons lived here, and by 2023 this number had risen to 184,900.

Who or what created YOU and why?

That's an easy question...

"God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction".

Ryszard is a vessel of wrath whose anus is prepared for destruction in hell. He seems to be in denial about it but the scritptural evidence is overwhelming.
