AfD politician: Poles are land-stealing n*ggers [153]
Maybe they should pay you a symbolic salary, eh?
That's pretty much what they do, so I have to work three jobs. xD
They owe those reparations
OK, let's assume your point of view - so in your scenario Poland stubbornly asks for c*untillions of euros of reparations and Germany stubbornly refuses. This happens in 2025, goes on to 2045 and is still the same in 2105.
How about: Poland officially, legally recognizes that the 20% of pre-WW2 German territory and billions of euro in support since 2004 constitutes 99% of reparations and the remaining 1%, a symbolic amount, is spent to rebuild the Saxon Palace in Warsaw or create a German-Polish Cultural and Historical Institute (with stipends for scholars and students, common cultural projects etc.), and - now get this - we finally put WW2 behind us and seriously tighten the cooperation and integration of the EU, of which Germany is an indispensible part. Oh, the horror! :)
Alternatively, we can keep on demanding the reparations, beefing up pro-putinist and populist forces on both sides of the border. Perhaps you think that negotiating reparations with AfD government would be easier? Good luck.
Are you doing this because it would make BB sad?
No, I am doing this because it is the right thing to do. For the sake of the future you sometimes have to leave history to historians. You know the history of my family in
Galicja. I could bear grudge against Ukrainians forever and wish them defeat and the fall of their country. I don't do that. Why? Because the good of Poland is more important than my own personal grudges.
Good relations with Germany and more closely integrated EU with both Poland and Germany as its indispensible parts is much more important than those imaginary c*ntillions of euros (which we aren't going to get anyway).
