In the EU, there are rules to which every country that wants to be a member must submit. If Poland does not honor this deal, its EU membership should be suspendable.

@eternal_ecstasy_77 I have studied history and will gladly correct you on your ultra-nationalist Polish perspective. The territories that lie in the west of Poland today have always been German. The Germanic tribes were there long before the Slavs. MAGNA GERMANIA. A fact that is not mentioned in Poland, of course. The Slavic settlement that took place in the meantime was probably not peaceful. Researchers are not sure about this. And even IF Slavs had been there first (which is not the case): If it were up to who owned what in Europe at some point 500 or 1000 years ago, we would be at war in Europe all the time. The thoughts of the Poles are pure poison in this respect. According to Polish logic, the Welsh should also drive out the English because the country was once Celtic 1000 years ago. Absolutely crazy. There was also no Polish westward shift. In 1939, the Soviet Union reconquered territories that proto-fascist (!) Poland had forcibly annexed after regaining its sovereignty. And the Soviet Union scrupulously adhered to the Curzon Line. Or does anyone seriously want to claim that something like Pinsk and Brody are Polish cities? I would also like to point out that the rest of Europe is not very interested in Polish neuroses. If you read anything about what was allegedly done to the Poles, everyone in practically all of Europe just rolls their eyes. It also becomes unbelievable at some point. The bottom line is that the Poles lost forcibly annexed land where no Poles lived and got better land in the West in return. In the whole of European history, something like this only was only possible for a very short time and only in the 20th century. As for the war itself, it always involved two or more parties. If you look at the behaviour of the Polish state in the interwar period, you have to seriously ask yourself whether war was avoidable at all. By the way, there were already maps in Polish newspapers at that time that showed Poland including Berlin.

You have misunderstood something. The Poles dream of wanting to be something in Europe, but the fact is that the Germans as an economically superpower can actually afford everything the Poles dream about (military) in reality. The same is true, to a much more limited extent, for the French. However, the Poles had a big mouth before - a few months before they were completely annexed. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The Poles refer to the former German eastern territories as "regained territories" because Slavic people lived there for a certain time about 1000 years ago. The fact that Germanic people lived there long before the Slaws is omitted in Poland. Nevertheless, the presence of Slavic people in former times was enough reason for the Poles to expel millions of Germans after 1945 – a classic crime against humanity. Pretty much the view of Putin today in terms of Ukraine. Strange for a country like Poland, that prefers to see itself solely and exclusively as a victim.

Paraguay had a government that was similar to Poland today and was temporarily suspended from MERCOSUR for it. Poland should be allowed to have a government that is diametrically opposed to the values of the EU, but it should also be suspended.

@eternal_ecstasy_77 There's no point in writing something nobody can read. Where are the intelligent Poles? All in the UK?

@eternal_ecstasy_77 You write uneducated stuff that in 2023 is considered unspeakable in practically all of Western Europe. Your views from the time of post-war Poland are nowadays considered right-wing radical. Moreover they can be immediately refuted with two simple maps and a simple google search. But I would encourage you to tell as many people in Western Europe as possible about your views, so that as many as possible can experience live what crude neighbors the Germans have to live with. That was it from my side. I don't want to continue tutoring any Eastern Europeans for free.

Raus mit allem, was seit 78 Jahren keine Miete zahlt.

@ndr8469 The Dutch and the Italians are Western Europeans and there is a deep consensus here - almost regardless of who governs. This is exactly what Meloni is proving in Italy. All fears have vanished into thin air. And as for the Dutch, they ALWAYS knew how to get through. Little clever nation. I'm not worried. However, the situation is different with the Slavic people in the EU, who at the end of the day are not very different from the Russians in terms of their way of thinking. Unfortunately, German business couldn't resist looking for cheap labor in the East, which is why countries like Poland and the Czech Republic were only allowed to join the EU in the first place (against the will of the UK and France). The entry of the Eastern Europeans reduced the basic idea of the EU to absurdity.

@zelenskyy-the-blackmailerh5920 if you cant intellectually follow the conversation, dont comment! ...especially because the most Soviet war crimes in Poland wre committed by Ukrainians, which makes your comment even more strange.

Who is surprised? It is also a fact that Poland, immediately after its resurrection in 1918, established a proto-fascist regime that immediately attacked the Soviet Union and wanted to annex everything up to Berlin. But this is only written in history books, one must not dare to say nowadays.

@henrilindroos3029 thats EXACTLY what the Poles thought in 1939. There are Polish sources from this time, stating exaxtly such statements.

The UK and France did not want Poland and the other Eastern European countries in the EU. But Germany did not let up and made big concessions, because the shortage of labor in Germany since 1940 could not be solved. When Poland joined the EU, I was 19 years old and the EU, which had thus betrayed its true intention, ceased to exist for me.
