@jacksevert3099 Poland opened its market to western companies at the expense of Polish businesses hence the EU funds are less than the profits being made by western companies in Poland.

@jacksevert3099 the EU aid is Polish taxpayers' money

And we support America in their leadership role in the free world. Don't isolate yourself, don't retreat because you're extremely, extremely important to the free world, to your allies and to the security architecture in the world. We will always stand by your side, whether in the Middle East or Far East, if you continue supporting us. We have your back, you can count on us. Greetings from Poland.

how? explain

@hyhhy Yeah yeah what else? Who else subsidised Poland? Morocco? So the Russians took Poland in 1944 to subsidise it, not profit from it? They must be really stupid then. And do you understand that wealth comes from work? You can throw millions at lazy society and nothing will be built. Poland has one of the smartest and hard-working people on earth, just look at the rankings.

Not everything is shown as it really is but in overall 75% was correct in this video. Germany is a NATO member and our ally so not sure why it was shown as a foe in the beginning of the video, trying to invade Poland. Maybe because CR has a bit of bias towards eastern world? Plus few other things.

Please give me a break. The current government is negotiating its position within the EU, that's all and the BS about Poland becoming autocratic is just BS. Listen to what the layers say that Poland's judicial reforms are no different to Western Europe. Some western states are just trying to keep Poland down so they can influence it more easily. Change your news sources because you have no idea.

@jacksevert3099 English? The British left the EU 3 years ago and look at where they are. The economy is sinking, the country is struggling, they want to return to the EU now. The western companies can operate in Poland at the expense of Polish companies and the EU money goes to those western companies operating in Poland so it's no help whatsoever.

@jacksevert3099 The EU "aid" is something like 6-7 billion EUR a year. Poland's Real GDP (ppp) is around $1.3 trillion per annum and government budget is $140 billion per annum so the EU money is an insignificant fraction of what Poland is earning through trade and internal consumption and production. And some of the EU money goes to western companies operating in Poland so your argument is completely invalid.

@jacksevert3099 Poland has received 150 billion EUR over 19 years, so that is 8 billion EUR per annum. 8 billion is nothing compared to what Poland earns from its own production, trade and consumption. Your argument is completely invalid.

@jacksevert3099 Poland's economic success is the result of highly educated, intelligent and hard-working people. EU funds played insignificant role in that success. How can you say 8 billion EUR per annum is what has made Poland great? It's an insignificant fraction of our economy. Please stop embarrassing yourself. I know my people and I know how hard-working we are and we've built our country with our own hands and that's the FACTS.

@andersbergman457 first of all Poland wasn't allied with Germany. Germany wanted to invade Soviet Union with Poland and Poland refused. Germans wanted to build exterritorial motorway to Gdansk/Danzing and Poland also refused. They also wanted Poland to return Danzing to Germany. Poland was first country to oppose Nazi Germany militarily and Stalin stabbed Poland in the back. He had secret pact with Germans to partition Poland. Poland didn't invade Czechoslovakia but took Zaolzie which had been stolen from Poland by Czechoslovakia in 1920 but Polish president said in 2009 it was a wrong decision even though it was our territory. Poland is a NATO member now and has an obligation to defend their allies and if Poland wanted to take Ukraine and build intermarium it would have done it already and we don't have any territorial demands to any of our neighbours. Poland is bound by treaties with NATO and EU and cannot make decisions on its own. Your mind is intoxicated with Russian propaganda.

@andersbergman457 So Poland wanting to have its own country is hyena and the empire that controlled half of the world was a pigeon of peace? Please, give me a break. Poland is not allying with anyone. We are in NATO and respect the duties and responsibilities of the membership. We spend well above 2% of our GDP. It is other NATO countries who have supported the enemies of NATO, Poland has not. The current narrative is reality and false narrative is what you're spreading. You will win nothing by trying to have too much. You're clearly not content with what you have and may end up with nothing. We should cool down the current conflicts and look for solutions and cooperation. With current weapons that the world has, we may end the life on earth as it is because people have high expectations that cannot be met.

@jacksevert3099 there are people in Poland who are doing well and those who aren't due to lack of skills, qualifications, etc. Some western companies are doing well and some are not. We opened our market so anyone can do business in Poland. I don't believe in isolationism but in openness, cooperation, free market and fair competition. Communism in Poland fell in 1991 and that's when citizens could start their own businesses but they had to compete against much richer and more advanced western companies so obviously these big western businesses made bigger profits than small Polish businesses. Nowadays there is more SMEs in Poland that can compete more closely as well as wages have grown so the playing field is more even. Most people are successful, they've built beautiful homes, drive good cars, can go on holidays couple of times a year, they can't complain but there is always room for improvement so we should always work towards it. Openness and free market are better than isolationism IMO. Just look at UK what they've done with Brexit. It was a really stupid thing to do to leave the single market. But Poles have achieved that success by their hard work, not some abracadabra magical wizardly tricks as some people may think.

@Unreal60FPS It's a mutually beneficial trade relationship for both countries. Poland produces parts needed for German industry that are then turned into a finished product and exported. Poland also proposed to the EU to build a single European energy system and to purchase energy as one entity instead of each country individually which helps to negotiate a better price for all of Europe which in turn benefits Germany and their industry. Visegrad Group V4 (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) is the most important trading partner for Germany. Total trade volume with V4 is around 400 billion EUR. More than China 350 billion EUR and USA also 350 billion EUR.

How do these hawks control Poland? Can you provide some evidence? Having partners and allies means being a puppet? Then China is the puppet of Russia or Russia is the puppet of China?

@kcgunesq awesome 👏

Why they must not be trusted?

That is in case of Russia wanting to nuke Poland. We will lunch the rain of missiles on Moscow so the effect will be quite similar.

Pełna zgoda 👍

Poland is a mix of Liberal and Conservative and moving towards liberalism more and more each year. Poland was conservative because of harsh times and history during which Church provided a shelter and safety for people. But now people are becoming more and more liberal because of relative peace.
