News / AfD politician: Poles are land-stealing n*ggers [147]

Our old dream, right? :)

Aaaah... our beloved Gerpolia. :) Like Austro-Hungary only much better!

instead of the loser France! Heh:)

We still keep them as suppliers of wine and cheese, and they will have to help us develop our own nuclear forces.

We don't have any yet?

Well, there are separate, smaller initiatives but nothing big and coordinated. We need one organization (on steroids!) to coordinate and reinforce all such actions, and aim them mostly at younger generations, so we can finally put the past behind us and destroy all the old fears and grudges.

The EU with Germany and Poland connected with ties of close cooperation and - why not? - even friendship would be so much stronger.

That too....absolutely agreeable! *nods*

Well, if you ever become the German Chancellor and I the Polish PM, we know what's going to happen. :)

There was even a song about it...

Who let the women vote?

Józef Piłsudski signed a decree

Oh, yes - it was Piłsudski. Right. ;)

issues that were so far ignored by men like, for example, human trafficking of women and children.

0_0

I'm quite sure human trafficking was never ignored by men, even during the First Rzeczpospolita.

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).

So did the German army at Stalingrad.

No. At Stalingrad Germans were the invaders and Russians defended their land. You should sue your history teacher - he did an atrocious job.

The Russian soldiers are in Russia trying to liberate Russia from Western proxies.

Hm... it is difficult to say whether you really swallow all that propaganda like a young pelican swallows fish or you are just so afraid that you cowardice speaks through you.

What would you advise them?

Keep defending your country, because if Russia goes further, there will be more Buchas and more Mariupols. Keep fighting for your fatherland.

Memo to the Russian army: Kill as many as you can

Oh, the occupiers are trying to do that just. However, the heroic defenders are inflicting high losses on the invaders.

If they were, Poland would not join NATO = USA

Why not? Every little helps. There will eventually be an American president who doesn't enjoy swirling his tongue around Russia's anus, and then the USA might prove useful. Here's hoping.

neither the US nor Russia gives a fvck about what Poland thinks about this war

Well, I suppose it's only fair because we don't give a fvck what either the US or Russia thinks.

For speeches bold and tweets that fly.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [1034]

a deal only possible if Ukraine give up territory

He doesn't want any deals. Putin wants to subdue Ukraine and then go on to exploit what he perceives as European systemic weakness and expand Russia's sphere of influence even further. That's why we need to open the second front in Belarus and secure Królewiec for him to realize that he cannot win this war.

This is time to greatly increase European integration at all cost: give up old grievances, close all reparations deals, speed up all military projects and go to war. If we do it together, as one iron European fist, Putin will sh*t himself. But even if that doesn't happen, then Poland opening the second front should shift the balance in favour of freedom and democracy.

who is currently occupying Russia and killing Russisans?

It wasn't Ukraine who invaded Russia but the other way around.

How about staying out of this war and minding your own damn business...

What happens to Ukraine is our business since we were given to understand that "we will be next".

I am of the opinion that if Russia conducts another act of sabotage against Poland, we should go to war against them. Actually, we should go to war against them right now, without delay - we can either fight now, while Ukraine is still defending, or we will be figthing alone (with limited aid from our European allies) later.

It breaks my Russophile heart but putinist criminals are leaving us no other option. However, even as we go to war we should make it abundantly clear: Russian nation is not our enemy, our enemy is quasi-fascist, neo-imperial putinist regime.

What lies?

Are all those American people in social media lying about the exorbitant cost of living and problems with making ends meet? Why would they do it?

You, Russian hating azzholes

Well, you said it in reply to my post, so I wanted to make sure you didn't mean me.

How did you decide to use Torq

It's from Tomás de Torquemada - great son of the Church and a man of profound religious conviction.

be friendly with Russia

Oh, we would be absolutely delighted to be friendly with them if it wasn't for the fact that they are currently conducting a hybrid warfare against Poland and regularly threaten us with much more than a hybrid war.

Russia is ruled by people for whom the fall of the Soviet Union was the greatest trauma in life. Now they seek revenge and return to their imperial past. Their choice.

Scandalous. I am writing to my local PiS MP (for whom I didn't vote lol) to investigate the matter further - that should take some heat off your back.

two articles on Google

More like hundreds of videos on social media where Americans whine and complain about horrendous cost of living. Why would they lie? I can understand people bragging that they are rich and successful but what's the point of lying that you are poor and can't afford basic necessities?

Hey, I was replying to your mate Novichok - he has no problem explaining Europe from overseas.

...how its going with the Swedes?

Let me put this way: I have a feeling that we won't pay the full price for those Saab submarines. ;)

But seriously, this issue has to be finally put to rest--talk to Tusk, he's practically a German, surely you will come up with some sort of symbolic agreement and PiS will have to shut up forever.

we should put up a demand too!

Go for it! I would like to see their plundering barbarian Swedish faces when they hear of it. 😂

Polish bishops against PiS's anti-German rhetoric...

tygodnikpowszechny.pl/biskupi-polski-i-niemiec-przeciwni-antyniemieckiej-retoryce-pis

Unfortunately - the bishops note - today "some political actors still try to exploit painful and historically unresolved issues for political purposes."

This is undoubtedly an allusion to PiS's policy, as it is the party that most persistently tries to stir up anti-German sentiment on the Polish political scene.

"For us it is clear," the bishops write, "that political maneuvering based on historical grievances is incompatible with the spirit of reconciliation expressed in the exchange of letters [from 1965]."

Much harder to achieve in Poland.

It is. But still, recently they started talking about PolExit, so it's no longer Orbanization they are aiming at but Lukashenkization. That's how desperate they are.

Trump-hating Dems

Dems are not the problem.

The problem are ordinary Americans who voted for Trump because he promised that the cost of living would fall significantly whilst in a recent poll, 63% of respondents said the current administration negatively affected their cost of living, including rising grocery prices and higher everyday costs for ordinary goods and services. Prices remain elevated, essentials are still costly, and many households report they spend more, not less, year-to-year. Even though inflation has moderated somewhat from its worst peaks, "moderated inflation" is not the same as "lower cost of living."

So all the Trump's antics in foreign politics, all his obvious connections and history with Epstein, and all his populist actions against immigrants will not do him as much harm as the fact that he flat-out lied about decreasing the cost of living for millions of less well-off Americans (significant part of his voter base).

The fact that a huge part of American society votes for the Billionaires' Trade Union (aka Republican Party) because they sold them the lie that they are conservative and Christian (Epstein's affair shows exactly just how conservative and how Christian) is quite sad.

Because as I explained, the case has been legally closed for many years now.

You are a curious case. You seem to think that closing your eyes and repeating something a hundred times will magically change reality.

Tusk who bows to Germany and Bruessels... . Traitors who acted against Poland's interest,

Even if PiS tries this narrative, then legally they will have no leg to stand on. Properly legally conducted reparations agreement would shut them up forever. As it is, they can bring back the issue indefinitely. And if you think that the death of last WW2 survivors will change anything, just know that PiS politicians (e.g. Mularczyk and Pawłowicz) are of the opinion that Sweden should pay us reparations for the Swedish Deluge (1655-1660).

You are right about one thing - PiS demanding reparations from Germany plays exactly into Putin's hands. The problem is, they are so afraid of "westernization" of Poland (which, with addition of the fact that their electorate is dying out, would eventually mean the end of them as a considerable political force) that they think Orbanisation is a viable solution.

skipping over posts like #984

I skipped your post about 1962 because my future Mum was 5 years old back then.

Did you laugh (...) in October 1962?

If you want, I can ask her if she laughed but I doubt if she remembers.
