Why the fuck did your intro show Germany mirroring Russia coming to Poland? Germany and Poland are EU states & NATO members. It's 2023 not 1933.

Why are you using German pronunciation of the capital? It's not "Varshau". It's pronounced "Varshava" (phonetic wrinting).

Exactly. Considering Germany’s history, it would be best to avoid that evil pronounciation.

Dang ... well said

​@@HrotiberhtazAll Europe is struggling with population shrinkage.

This is actually wrong. Poles had and have big dreams. Or even illusions. Often in history they aimed for positions they couldn't get and it bites them in de ass. I wonder if this happenns again.

They are impressive but if they tear Europe apart, they will weaken themselves and everyone around them to the benefit of China, Russia and the USA which is not in their national interest.

France and Germany might opt to becoming 'Europe Coffers', and Poland becoming one of Europe emerging economy, Europe Conservative politics hubs and good military partners.

honestly? as a Pole, I prefer Belarus to Ukraine, we Poles remember the degenerates from the OUN and UPA who murdered defenseless Polish children and women, I support you to turn not so much from Lukashenko, but completely from the Russians

You should keep away from todays Poland, if Poland together with the West will bring you "freedom" your entire country will be taken over by international bankers and corporations and this will be the end of Belarusian nation. They will make you poor and efectivelly birth rate will drop down significantly. This is what happened in Poland after 1989. After next thirty years Polish population will be reduced by 20 millions or more.

No worries brother! We stay together strong. None Russians will be harrasing our counties. Their all time goal was to defeat Us therefore we unified. We will stay strong together!

Latvia and Lithuania also should speed up. Both are behind Estonia who have invest at least 2% of GDP for at least 20 years already and also compulsory army.

You can see that by all the political sides agreeing to military investment. They just doffer on details to what money should be invested more. Right now if any political party would propose reductions it would mean political suicide.

we just got reminded of the fact that out there in the east there's a circus of triggerhappy clowns who'll shoot you with artillery and tankrounds if you don't defend yourself... these weapons are an insurance against such jokers.

As a citizen of Georgia, I've heard those jokes in 2008, when I was 12. And now there is 20% of my country which I can not visit. There's another joke those clowns say - they move the border line at night 10-20 meters and they kidnap locals for walking in their own gardens the next day, because they are not in Georgia anymore. But I believe, that clown will be punched in the face pretty soon.

@@EnhancedNightmare Yes, and there is other side of that, Russia "punishes" its neighboring countries for investing "too much" in military, so governments (like of Georgia) just obey that "rule". Poland is lucky to have resources and support to get themselves together before its too late.

Russia is a slavic nation.

Poland's greatest economic success is that it will prevent the creation of a group of very influential oligarchs. Even very wealthy Poles must put Poland's interest first and not just stuff their own wallets.

Poland is one hundred years behind Russia in military advancement..ukraine was second most powerfull military in europe and within one and half year they lost more than milion soldiers...in catstrophic death ratio 20/1...even if ukrainians now turned west..they would smash poland in two weeks...

Who's denying that? The cost of said protection is what? A lower quality of life? When Poland's already in NATO and any aggression against Poland is unlikely to say the least. So what's to gain? Poland becoming a regional power? It could be a good choice in a 4+ decades but I don't see it to be honest. In my opinion it's funding that could be spent elsewhere, the biggest benefit is obviously economic influence and political influence if Poland becomes a regional power.

The matter is not the right but the sense.

@@Anonymoose66G You can pick two: Defense Economy Poland picked defense and of course, the economy of Poland is a joke, and it can't self-sustain without the loss of hegemony from part of the EU. However, since EU currently is not healthy economically, then Poland will follow. Poland has a PMI lower than 50% since the start of the conflict, of course, it is hurting the citizens directly.

Has it ever tried to protect it from the new masters in the Potomac River? Because the world can see how easily Poland is being pushed around against Russia while left broke by replacing all its arsenal. But yeah. I guess you could dream of defending a territory in the midst of a nuclear strike era 🤯 The world wishes you the best of lucks

The moment the western countries start feeling any inconvenience from a war there will be voices to stop it, even at a cost for Poland. Many alliances in the past were fragile, can't see how NATO could be different.

Poland and French being allies 😂 laughable. Us Poles we cannot forget your betrayal and unreliability: You were allies until Soviet Union decided to attack us during 2WW. Our envoy to France and general famously relied a message from France back to Poland about how you wanted to support us: (Polish envoy back to Poland)"I received the message by general Gamelin. Please don't believe a single word in the dispatch". You think the situation would be different this time? I can't see how the French living in Toulouse or Bordeaux enjoying their sunshine, oysters and foie gras would care about what happens in Eastern Europe. In fact, the moment the economic situation gets worse and they cannot afford those mentioned produce, then if NATO wouldn't crumble then at least you'd be perhaps sabotaging Poland or voicing opinions to stop the war, even at a cost for Poland just to relief yourself from any inconvenience. Didn't French president say that we shouldn't be humiliating Putin? One of the reasons why Poland doesn't buy military equipment from France or Germany on a large scale is to avoid a possibility of a sabotage during a conflict.

@@sebastianzukowski7985 That was 70y ago, also they didn't really have borders with us. America is also there now, you should really stop having grudge after 70y nobody of our ancestors would've wanted us to blame eachother instead to live in peaceful Europe allied to others.

When there is a chance that someone will attack you, better to have gun bought on instalments than have nothing.

Compared to other spendings (like COVID ones) it's not that much 😊

There is a division between what the Poles think, like there would be anywhere else. There are people that grew too comfortable with the long-lasting peace and live in the bubble that 'no one will attack Poland, so it's a waste', while there are also those that wish to learn from history and realize that a promise is not worth the ink to write it on paper, so peace for Poland will only last as long as Poland will have the strength to deter anyone from attacking it. This idea can be seen clearly in how EU plays an economic warfare with Poland (pressuring Poland one-sidedly for trying to implement laws that are operational for years in other countries, like Germany, with EU completely ignoring or downplaying them for said other countries). Polish economy is not strong enough right now to defend itself against that but it is growing, so they are trying to suppress it. This same thing would happen with physical warfare at some point if Poland will not have a strong enough military.

Well, where do you think the money for healthcare has gone in the federal subject? 30% of the US budget goes to defense, intelligence and the military. In European nations it's usually between 1% and 2%. So guess who has been footing the bill?

Oh no, Poland absolutely deserves all the criticism. Helping Ukraine is the only good thing our government has done in its 8 years long control. Otherwise it's been ruining our economy, our freedom, our law, our education, our budget and yes, our military too. So what if they increase the numbers if Belarus's choppers are free to fly in our airspace and Russian missiles with nuclear capacity are found in the middle of our territory half a year after landing with nobody giving a fuck?

Yes it does. Poland is the top beneficiary of EU funds, by a distance. If Poland is taking steps to 'back up its commitments' its doing so with EU tax-payers money. Nato can disappear, its not 1980, we don't need nato hanging around. Russia can't beat Ukraine.

Actually, the EU does have a right. It's a part of the agreement when you join the EU. You must maintain certain domestic standards of democracy, human rights and the rule of law. If Poland doesn't want to abide by those and stop accepting EU taxpayer money, they are free to leave the EU.

You'd better hope that active protection system is better than what you gave the Ukrainians...

Exactly, fuck EU dictatorship

Its obvious most of the EU don't take violent subjugation by Russia very seriously. So they want to drag Poland down to their low level IQ and very low willingness to have a competent military deterence. Mark my words.....the US will probably not be able to bail out their sorry butts, as we will be busy with China and North Korea. Europe has lots of modern countries that should easily thump Russian forces, but it looks like they don't care.

The Poles are winning in every way. They complain about the EU constantly but receive the most amount of money from it. It's current military budget is almost the same as how much it receives in aid from the EU. You have to respect the grift.

Sveikinu tave broli!

Lots of places are heard in Europe, it's voting systems don't allow just a few countries to dominate it. One kind of just has to think back to cases where The Netherlands, Finland, Italy, etc caused things to be delayed or changed. If it feels like some central European states are getting a lot of complaints thrown to them, well it should also be remembered that Hungary is breaking the EU charter, Poland has done some questionable things concerning EU rules and such as well. That can create a misconception I think of how power really works in Europe.

It might, Poland's economy is on the path to be in 10 years catching up to UK in GDP per capita numbers. EU's policy influence is solely based on population and economy size.

I don't live even close to Europe, but I can see Ukraine joining EU within a decade. Poland will have a close ally in EU.

I don't really agree that eastern Europe lack a voice in the EU, but I agree that France and Germany definitely are the two heavy weights. Rather, it's specifically Polish and Hungarian governments that forfeit their soft power by intentionally breaking EU law. The union's values are "human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and human rights" - and it should be obvious that it becomes an issue when member states stray away from several of those core ideals.

​@@Quickshot0Indeed, there's plenty of Eastern European countries - all but the two mentioned - which aren't breaking the charter and can cooperate to achieve their goals in Brussels just fine.

Using Russian aggression as a pretext for more American imperialism. Nice. I wonder why those bases in Germany were never mothballed after the cold war was over? 100 thousand US soldiers in Germany to this day.

Good analogy

Germany becoming a serious military player in Europe would actually be very good for Poland. Especially if they could run a large scale production of munitions and get our military industrial complex involved in some of these bleeding-edge programmes (I mean... even Spain gets involved in them, but never Poland :/ )

@@stevekook-xw3is Year 1683 Turkish troops besiege Vienna. Without the Polish army, the Turks would have occupied all of Europe. The year 1920. Stalin said: “The road to a worldwide conflagration leads through the corpse of White Poland. With our bayonets we will bring happiness and peace to the working masses. West!" The door remained closed. Year 1939 Hitler first attacked Poland and then conquered the rest of Europe. He knew that if he did the opposite, he would have a two-front war. Defeating Poland enabled him to unleash a full-scale war. You want more?

@@AndrzejMakowski-hp9nk Conquering Vienna is not the end of Europe by any stretch of imagination. The Ottomans were very strong but even Vienna is hard for their logistics let alone further. What are they gonna do when they end up going in northern side of Alps? Their supply line so long and vulnerable. The believe that someone is unbeatable doesn't work for too long. What Stalin said doesn't matter much. Poland is just 1 of them countries located on European plain and may claim it's a gate towards west Europe. No such thing for S Europe. Look man. Not trying to downplay the Poles.

Proof that diversity is our strenght, I guess that's why Poland and Hungary are importing hundreds of thousands of workers from Bangladesh and India.

If anything, it is going closer to Washington.

Of course going away from those two means Poland instead becomes incredibly dependent on what the USA and such wants instead. They arguably would have had more leverage and local military industry if they'd taken some deals with for instance the French and Germans, who certainly have been willing to build local production and support historically. So in that sense it kind of feels like spiting them... and then actually failing at your actual real defense goals and remaining a dependent instead because everyone else actually offers worse deals.

​@@Quickshot0we dont trust Ger and france.

"Giant". Now. Russia can't project enough power even to force Ukraine to do her bidding. Poland has much less still to worry. Save one thing: Russia has nukes.

In case of a war, Kaliningrad would be choked in a naval blockade and starved and demanded to surrender, people are worried about the suwalki gap, while Russia is in a much harder position

That is why Poland receives the most EU economic aid and the most US foreign policy aid aka weapons. There solved the puzzle

We want to show the rest of Europe what a real taste of freedom means, especially after 50 years of low existence in the Soviet block. Even today, I feel a cold sweat on my buttocks when I think about those 50 years of stupidity when red ideology killed reason.

@@idinv5641 That investment was by far returned in the cheap labor and products that Germany got in return.

@@idinv5641 Your response ignores the context of the discussion... Let's recap: This is the part that the original poster wrote that you responded to. > Name one reason why Poland or other nations should trust Germany or France. This is your response, basically saying that Poland should trust Germany because Germany, through the laws of EU, invested in Poland. > Maybe because Germany extremely invested in Poland since they are a part of the EU This is my response showing that it's not a one-way street, and that Germany is already seeing returns on said investment. > That investment was by far returned in the cheap labor and products that Germany got in return. Nothing you wrote in your second comment is in any way related to any of the above. The discussion is about the 'trust', and 'trust' is not tested in a mutually-beneficial situation. Trust is tested when one side 'pays' so that another side 'doesn't lose' in a pinch. Poland doesn't have any reason to trust Germany, or most of the EU for that matter. What Poland receives is based on contractual obligations that are foundations of the Union, and that are made for mutual interest. Even then, EU literally breaks its own laws and founding ideals just to suppress Poland for political reasons. They have back-stabbed Poland several times, basically year after year.

- Poland is the single biggest recipient of EU funding, with Germany and France being the top contributors. - France was the single biggest seller of military equipment to Ukraine from 2014 to 2020 - again, bought with donated EU funds. - EU is the top contributor to Ukraine since the invasion. - Leopard tanks are on the ground, Abrams are still nowhere to be seen. - 3 million Polish live in Germany. - France and Germany are two of Polands top 3 export markets. - France is the largest contributor of foreign direct investment in Poland. The French companies with the largest presence in Poland include Orange, Vivendi, Carrefour, Casino, Crédit Agricole, Saint Gobain and Auchan. Thats 7.

XDD

Love and respect the great Polish people from Romania. They have suffered more than their fair share throughout history, especially under communist Russian occupation, and the dismemberment of Poland by the Stalin and Hitler. Right now Poland is the military powerhouse of the EU and rightfully so because Russia cannot be trusted under any circumstances.

Sweden hasn't been voted in yet.

Poland is very pro-EU, but we are more conservative on social issues. In the end, I think people should think what they believe is more important - security, freedom of movement, free trade, and so on, or punishing other societies for being more conservative?

As for "problems with some politics" this is mainly propaganda. It is important to remember the whole judicial system in Poland was inherited from the previous communist totalitarian Soviet dominated state. And the judicial system was transferred with only minor changes. But all judges that were in the communist state (appointed) were transferred to new democratic state in 1989. Moreover, there is no democratic control over judges. Thay select themselves as they wish and stay all the live. I, as a citizen, would like at least to have some form of control - judges are no gods or saints. This reform was blocked by Germany (through Brussels). But even when, under unjust pressure, Poland withdrew all necessary reform, Brussel still blocks (unlawfully) the funds that duly belong to Poland. Calling it hypocrisy is using very mild words.

Polands govt do. Because what you see on your screen is built by EU funds. Poland is the top recipient, France and Germany are the top contributors. Polish are the top inter-EU migrants. They have moved to other EU countries more than anyone else in Europe. And are very pro-EU, despite the youtube d0-uch3bag narrative.

I fully support based right leaning nationalist governments, that said there are different kinds of nationalists, the Polish government is the good kind, Orban not so much. At least Hungary is selling large quantities of cheap imported Russian oil and gas to Ukraine, which is kind of funny when you think about it.

Unfortunately Orban is a fake nationalist, he is Putin's lapdog. He ignores the Russian invasion of Hungary back in 1956 to maintain its vassal state status using a puppet communist government . Love and respect for my Hungarian friends from Romania.
