News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [878]

biting through a crowbar with an anus

That's more or less what I had in mind. ;)

I don't really have a whole lotta time with an internet connection.

Understandable, and better for your nerves too.

PF has been a lot more annoying recently, with Novichok constantly blaspheming against Saint Mary and Virgin Birth (and this at Christmas/New Year time!).

Thankfully this will all end around the 10-15th of January.

*fingers crossed*

@Bobko

Where have you been, Bobi? I thought you left PF for good.

As for online racists... I have to limit my internet time to PF only - it is annoying and nerve-wrecking enough. :)

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 [878]

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.

Exactly.

I would only modify it by adding 'GUS statistics' as the last and ultimate level of statistical bullsh*t.

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.

polskiobserwator.uk/coraz-wiecej-brytyjczykow-osiedla-sie-w-polsce-nowe-dane/

So, basically we have a city the size of Toruń or Kielce made up entirely of Brits. 0_0

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.

History / History of Europe and the Next Russian Grand Idea [49]

While researching the topic of Russian Idea I came across this quote by Dzhokhar Dudayev...

"The Russian idea is to sit in sh*t and drag others into it."

I would dismiss it as Russophobic but it looks like the guy was a prophet...

Dudayev

... and this is from a man who was assasinated in 1996, so he predicted the events in Ukraine 30 years ago! 0_0

He also said that "Russia is an evil empire that never respects agreements". No wonder he has streets and roundabouts in Lithuania and Poland named after him...

Important thing is that this cities

Hm... looks like Vladimir P. might have lied (shocking!) about Russian army capturing the cities...

ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4074190-ccd-debunks-russian-claims-of-alleged-capture-of-huliaipole-and-myrnohrad.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

english.nv.ua/russian-war/ukraine-s-general-staff-debunks-russian-claims-of-capturing-key-frontline-cities-50571680.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Recent Russian claims that Myrnohrad and Huliaipole have been captured are not confirmed by reliable independent sources or by Ukrainian military authorities. Myrnohrad remains contested, and Huliaipole is subjected to intense fighting with partial Russian gains in the settlement, but neither city is generally accepted as fully controlled by Russian forces as of the latest reports.

But maybe putinists are not lying to you, Veli, and there are indeed vast empty expanses of Ukraine in front of them. In such case Russian units are already rolling full speed westwards through tens of kilometres of plain fields...

*goes checking*

... naaah, they bullshitted you - the front is still more or less where it was before. Hint for the future - always take what Putin says with a grain of salt (even when, in his desperation, he wears military uniform during the issuing of a statement).

Jesus' biological father was Joseph (...) sperm plus egg

lying along the way how NATO will stay in place if Germany is allowed to reunite

You see, that's why people don't treat you seriously. You repeat lies that have been exposed many times before, even on this forum. You are like Goebbels - repeating lies 1000 times in vain hope that they will become truth.

Merkel's famous: "We lied for time..."

And now you manipulate. Surprise, surprise. Merkel never said, as your use of quotation marks would suggest, "we lied for time". She said "The 2014 Minsk agreement was an attempt to give time to Ukraine. It also used this time to become stronger as can be seen today."

Russian state media and pro-Kremlin narratives have amplified her remarks as if the West lied to Russia and used Minsk to build up Ukraine for war, which is a distortion of what she said. Several analyses and translations confirm that Merkel described the effect of the Minsk process as having given Kyiv time to strengthen - not that it was deliberately engineered as a deceptive ruse to mislead Russia. The interpretation that pro-Putinist shills like you spread is a mischaracterization or exaggeration not directly supported by the original interview texts.

So, as usual, you lie, manipulate and intentionally exaggerate to deceive people. Only it's not working. :)

You will never win with me.

Do you mean the desk, phone, and a filing cabinet in Brussels or the US?

I meant strong, united and coordinated military action by all European NATO states as well as American troops in Europe. Should the USA in time of need decide not to honour obligations to their allies, they would degrade themselves to a permanent secondary power position. This wouldn't, of course, affect the European response. Europeans still have balls and are ready to respond to aggression and lawlessness with military might. God bless Europe.

take nibbles

What I think will happen is that Putin, frustrated by ever growing losses in Ukraine, will make one last retarded move and invade somewhere in the Baltics (Mafketis thinks it will be Estonia, I am rather inclined to bet on Królewiec and some sort of incident with Lithuania), counting on the lack of appropriate response from NATO. His calculations will turn out to be wrong.
