Poland offers to host US nukes

[Rumata]

Based, Kaczyński after attck on Ukraine didn't talk for a few weeks about it, now it is just a PR talk, the chance it will happen is small. Not to mention he talks many dumb stuff all the time

In my opinion those who have access to a "red button" just lack a rational reason to push it unless their own lives are threatened by exactly those whom they could nuke. And such a scenario I reckon almost impossible in this world.

Polish people are nuts

Its funny how you paint a picture of unpredictable blood thirsty russians when the last 70years the most wars were fought and initiated by the US empire.

Parts of German society protested, the Bundeswehr (that is the official Germany) always trained with the US forces to drop nukes, fist with Starfighters, now Tonados and as it seems nowwith F35 in the future. Nobody wants foreign troops or even nukes in their countrie if they don#t have good resoning for that. A common boarder with Putind Russia is exactly that.
If Ukraine had not given all it's ex Soviet nukes to Russia, I doubt Russia woud now flatten Ukrainian cities.

This is btw what is demonstrated to the world time after time: Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya are flattened, while nuclear powers like Pakistan and North Korea are dealt with very considerate. You obviously need nukes to be respected at all by super powers.

Good luck for managing to get countries to refrain from nukes in the future…

Be glad Austria is not part of NATO and neutral, even the Nehammer the slimy weasel doesn't seem to like it.

In a case of war it's useless thouh. The Austrian army is close to non-existant. If neutral, one has to be able to defend oneself, but thats not the case.
Neurtality has a huge support in Autrian society, like +75% - few things we more agree on. The saying goes: "We are surrounded by friends" - who our friends border with we don't give a fuck.
ÖVP politicians however often look towards Nato, just like "slimy wease" ( I like that, but Kurtz was way worse) Nehammer and parts of the Army. NEOS (liberals) keep dreaming about a EU Army The left and right are pro Neutrality. All agree to not spend sufficient money on the military.

I don't understand the mindset of these people. I really think there's some serious psychological deficits in the reasoning ability of some Eastern politicians especially.

It's not restricted to a few Polish politicians. In Poland there is a notable concentration of not thoughtful, but impulsive, proud and notably fantasy-driven people. Just think about Peterska today.

After the Entente re-established Poland in 1918 it has been Europe's "enfant terrible" till it got surpassed by late Hitler Germany in early 1939. It was disliked much by the English who restored it. Poland didn't care for the ethnic determined Curzon line, but conquered and kept all of interwar Poland that was east of that, eventually making up roughly 50% of Polish state area. Poles had conflicts with basically every neighbor, besides Germany and Russia with Lithuania and Czechoslovakia as well.

From the aspect of the self determination of people - a commonly new accepted view in global politics after WWI - it was a very questionable thing to forcefully divide the German people against it's will by splitting off the German parts of Austria and also German Danzig. (It was far more German than today Hamburg, Berlin and Vienna.) However, in the question of Danzig and the possibilities to pass the newly established so called Polish corridor Poland got backed by (interested in an continental European conflict England) and Poland in August 1939 was completely off the track and seriously fantasised about conquering Berlin. No Alice-in-the-Wonderland-like imagination was too way off for being followed by the public opinion. As we all know Poland was conquered by the German Wehrmacht within 3 or 4 weeks and that's it.

As for WWII Poland was just a free rider of the Soviet victory over the German Empire. But in the Polish school atlas of history (szkolny atlas historyczny) from 1988 at the end of WWII the Polish flag is beside the Soviet one on the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin ( ), see attached pic. There are no limits for mingeling fantasy and reality.



So the today Polish political behavior of being not thoughtful, but impulsive, proud and notably fantasy-driven is the Polish mindset that we have experienced ever since.

Lol, Winston Churchill, the big lover of Poland. That "rock" was just beloved as a tool for annoying others. A number of thoughtful Poles have been thinking about this after they noted what the English think of them. And think till this very day btw.

Anyone that has a conventional army/industry worth something is a target for Russia in WWIII. Conventionally the Ruskies suck so they can't leave Germany intact.

Another blatant lie from you. You're living in a dreamworld, much like the Poles.
