Polish Syndrome

By the way, you already got your reparations in the form of EU membership.

There are 28 countries in the EU, did they also get EU membership as reparations?

I don't think so. BTW, Germany is not the sole ruler of the EU, and will never be.

And German eastern teritories cannot be considered as "war reparations", because Poland got them in exchange for our eastern territories, which were stolen by the Soviet Union.

How does that logic work? Germany pays Poland what the Soviets had taken from them? Must be uniquely Polish logic.

I think if Poland continues to pester Germany for reparations, Germany should pay them, but then impose economic sanctions on Poland -- which was in the pipeline now anyway already.

Germany needs Poland more than Poland needs Germany. Poland is not interested in joining the 4th Reich and many countries are waking up to the fact of how despicable a German dominated Europe would be. Germany win some battles, but always lose the war. Churchill was right when he said Germany should be bombed every 50 years.

Maybe if Germany wasn't trying to interfere with Poland's internal affairs, we wouldn't be demanding reparations. As soon as the Polish government changed in 2015, Germany started to rant about our new government. They started this shitstorm by claiming that supposedly our democracy is endangered. Is Germany trying to be another great defender of democracy in the world, like the US?

Germany would be the biggest basket case now had it not her debt been written off. An outrageous and illegal act considering its crimes against humanity.

The German "miracle" is the greatest joke ever. It is a very corrupt country on so many aspects. There are so many myths about Germany.

lol, you don't really believe that. Everyone knows how awesome the Germans are. They can create a civilization from scratch in one generation. Not many other people can do it.

Some people argue that Germany should take over the mantle of the US as the "leader of the free world". (not that I agree with this "free world" nonsense, but anyway.. you get the point)

Germany needs Poland more than Poland needs Germany.

Another myth that is easily debunked.

In these days and ages of exaggerated political correctness, when even German folk tales in the literary edition of the Brothers Grimm become a subject of censorship, it appears impossible to quote publicly the statements of German classics about some mental features of our Polish neighbors. Today you won't find a faster way to earn some nasty label from politically correct biomass dwelling on the web unless of course you post that you hated the way those Arab refugees treated your wife or daughter, cause that's what instantly makes you a fascist without even a chance for rehabilitation. (...)

(...) literally Poland got about 25% of Eastern territories of Germany within the borders of 1937. Poles got habitable, economically developed lands from which those poor 'victims of genocide' have driven away more than two million ethnic Germans. (...)

If you really feel soooo bad living around Arab refugees, come to Poland. We have free movement of people within the EU. What is stopping you from coming? Of course you will have to be Polish citizens and be loyal to the Polish state if you settle here. But if you admit that your government is crazy and enforcing political correctness and "refugee terror", then it is too crazy to rule over even more land than it already rules. Based on your description it seems that Germans are too insane to rule anything. Or are you claiming that Germany is ruled by Jews? This is old false story, already Hitler claimed that.

Germans themselves are responsible for all of their problems. Stop blaming Jews or Poles.

Even Donald Tusk is against this, apparently.

And what about the Russians?

By the way, you already got your reparations in the form of EU membership. Without German help there and German money, Poland would still have been a basket case.

You didn't get together on your own either after WWII, without USA money your country, Germany, France would have been nowhere. I am tired of this condescending tone towards Central and Eastern Europe.
And about EU. You know it's not free money? You know in exchange Germany for instance spreads the market with mostly their product, and they focus on mostly export, they don't want to buy from other EU countries? So basically they are getting the richest in all of this, meanwhile also pulling good workforce from all over Europe? So no, EU is not a "reparation"....
