@Fraj1499 @bestiazgdanska Większość polskiego narodu nie ma w sobie ducha nacjonalisty+imperialisty, poza fanami Piłsudskiego. Jednak na chłodno i bez emocji - szokuje mnie, że Ukraina po upadku ZSSR jest większa od Półwyspu Bałkańskiego, bo trudno narodowi 40 mln utrzymać tak duże terytorium, bez obrazy.

@bestiazgdanska Go and try

W sumie najbardziej estetyczne granice Polski jakie można sobie wyobrazić. To powinien być cel polskiej polityki zagranicznej, no ale zamiast tego mamy Ukropolin

@MetalZulfiquar @DonaldTuskHater @zlyaleh666 Honestly, why do you hate Russia while being a Russian speaker at the same time? Genuinely asking, not trying to be a dick or anything

@DonaldTuskHater @zlyaleh666 Пидораха, пиши по-русски ёпта, что как не свой

There is absolutely no way non-russian speaking person would write double S in "Belarusian".

Żelek typu niemiecki

Okay I've had enough of this europoor adjacent slop. How do Europeans (Poles in this example) live? Differently than Americans and the prices reflect that. Restaurants are WAY cheaper than in America. First of all, you don't have all the junk fees, tax and tip on top of the price on the menu. In San Francisco, when you see $30 for a pasta dish, it's gonna end up being closer to $50 on the final bill. In Kraków, if you see 50 zł ($13.70) for a pasta meal, it is going to be 50 zł exactly. And Poland isn't even a good example because it famously has relatively expensive restaurants compared to places like Italy or Spain. This extends to other services, too. A flight from rainy July Kraków to sunny Italy will set you back like $50. A flight from Columbus, OH to sunny Florida will be more like $250, same to Mexico. And then when you're there, everything is more expensive, too, starting with a hotel. Groceries are also significantly cheaper than in America if you compare like for like. I'm not going to sit here and say that every Biedronka has Whole Foods-level produce and meats but on average, groceries in Poland are comparable to middle price tier groceries at Safeway, and when you compare those together, Poland is like 2x cheaper. Cars and fuel are more expensive but you also use them less. Not only because there's more public transportation but mostly because the distances are shorter. This isn't Phoenix where everything is 30 mins away on a freeway. Rent is expensive but also, let's not exaggerate. Kraków is the most expensive city in Poland because it's touristy, rapidly growing, and a huge college hub. A comparable US city would be Boston. But even if you compare Kraków to Columbus or Indianapolis (undoubtedly 2/3-tier cities), rent is still cheaper. A comparable one-bedroom apartment will be $1200-1400 in those cities vs. 3000-3600 zł ($800-1000). And in Katowice, where salaries are only 10% lower than in Kraków but the city is not touristy, you're looking at 2200-2600 zł ($600-700). Oh, and the median after-tax salary in Kraków is $1700 a month ($20,400 a year), the average is even higher. Yes, this is less than in Columbus (~$60,000, according to BLS data) but surprise surprise, Poland is a poorer country than not only the US but also Germany or France. But there are also many things that you don't pay for in Poland that you do pay for in the US. Childcare is a big one. In an average American family unit, the mother only works so that they can afford childcare. It's free in Poland. Healthcare is free, too, and before you attack me saying "yeah but the wait time for hip replacement is long!" I'll tell you that even if you go private to get it immediately, it's gonna be cheaper in relation to your income than in the US. Public schools are good, and college is again free. You don't have to pay $500/month in your college repayment plan for 10 years after graduation. And there are also no income taxes for those under 26 years old, by the way. And speaking of income taxes, filing them is free and automatic every year, even if you have a more complicated tax situation. You don't need to spend $100 on Turbotax or a comparable service. So again, the answer is: people just live life differently. Life in Europe (in general, also in the 2000s, when Europeans were not yet "Europoor") is less about consumption. I discovered that when I've started traveling with my American friends. They go to Barcelona and all they do all day is running from one coffeeshop to another, from one restaurant (ideally Michelin-starred) to another. They'll see the Sagrada Familia and that's about it. A completely different (and dare I say worse) way of traveling than the European way, which is to walk the streets, see some sights, get sangria in a random bar and eat dinner in a small neighborhood cafe. I think this is also in part a function of Europe having functional public spaces. If you don't need to worry about a crazy homeless person attacking your kids on the public playground, you don't need to have a private playground in your backyard. So yeah, while Americans are richer in terms of take-home pay, the actual, useful gap, is not that big. Europeans just don't need to spend money as much.

@Longlivenato_79 @Sacr_Imperium @neolatyno Moscow and Petersburg dominate, but the country also relies heavily on: 1. Siberia oil, gas, mining 2. Ural region industry, metallurgy, defense production 3. Volga region manufacturing, agriculture, cities like Kazan & Nizhny Novgorod 4. Far East ports, resources, Pacific trade

@Sacr_Imperium @neolatyno russia depends 100% from only 2 cities France in the other side, has 8 cities beside Paris to continue working

and that’s why they’re not using nukes

President Trump is reportedly considering sacking War Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe for opposing a prospective peace deal with Iran. Follow: @AFpost

@MStaporek @siewiera_jakub O kuźwa tej, a ja się wychowałem w dosłownie podobnym, albo wręcz takim samym murowanym domku z piwnicą w Wielkopolsce, jak na zdjęciu autora wpisu, był wybudowany w latach czterdziestych, jednak to pewnie nie ma z tym nic wspólnego, raczej czysty przypadek podobnych czasów, co?

@siewiera_jakub Na Pomorzu i w Wielkopolsce można jeszcze spotkać "poniatówki" (od nazwiska ministra Juliusza Poniatowskiego, odpowiedzialnego za reformę rolną). Najczęściej na działkach wydzielonych z rozparcelowanych w l. trzydziestych majątków, głównie niemieckich. Ale już niewiele ich stoi.

Będąc na Mazurach pewnie niejednokrotnie mijaliście takie oto domki. To tak zwane "kochówki". No cóż, Erich Koch (zmarł w barczewskim więzieniu w wieku dziewięćdziesięciu lat), syn robotnika z Nadrenii Północnej - Westfalii, stał się ojcem sukcesu NSDAP w Prusach Wschodnich. W swoim czasie cieszył się dużą przychylnością lokalnej społeczności a to dzięki działaniom ukierunkowanym na poprawę sytuacji gospodarczej regionu. Metody, które stosował często bywały - delikatnie mówiąc - kontrowersyjne. Jego plany dotyczyły również mieszkalnictwa, czego efektem była powszechna budowa niewielkich, murowanych, podpiwniczonych domków z użytkowym poddaszem, których tak wiele stoi po dziś dzień. fot ze strony: kreis-ortelsburg.info/018/fotos.htm

🚨 BREAKING: A Russian frigate has reportedly fired warning shots at a British yacht in the English Channel [@SamCoatesSky]

Baltic excellence. 🇵🇱🇱🇹🇱🇻

🇵🇱 #Poland: Russian artist Robert Kuzovkov, known for his caricatures of political leaders including Vladimir Putin, Alexander Lukashenko and Ramzan Kadyrov, was shot and killed in the city of Biała Podlaska yesterday. According to investigators, the attacker first shot him in the head. After Kuzovkov fell to the ground, the gunman approached and fired three more shots before fleeing the scene. Kuzovkov was last seen publicly on June 12th during a protest, where he carried a painting depicting Putin and Joseph Stalin. Two Belarusian nationals have since been detained as part of the investigation, though their role in the shooting remains unclear. (via BBC)

(2/2) Plot twist, he’s strongly anti-China and strongly pro-Israel

(1/2) This guy is hilarious, he literally spends 365 days a year trashing Ukraine and praising Russia, in his mind anyone who dares to say even a slightly negative word about Russia is a total dumb idiot, he’s living in some fantasy where the US and Russia are best friends
