Comments by "Frida Kahlo" (@Blanka1100) on "Why Germany and Poland Have Fallen Out (again)" video.

  1.  @TheBooban  It is not about land. And Germans still do not understand it. And never treated Poland as equal partner. German society is still very ignorant when it comes to everything east of Oder river. That is a shame.
    49
  2.  @dntbther  If Ukraine failed in first 3 days of war, Germa leaders could not care less. They expected this to happen. Germans used to call Russia "its biggest neighbor". Russia is not their neighbor. Poland is. The point is they never cared, never listened and often "knew better". I want Polish German relation to improve after 8 years of PiS rule but for this to happen Germans must start noticing Poland is ther neighbor. Russia is a threat, not a bussines partner you can rely on.
    47
  3.  @univeropa3363  And let Putin blackmain you...Master strategist.
    45
  4.  @justaplayer94  I am Polish and I want Polish German relations to get better. I do not hate you. This is why of the reasons Poles voted out its PiS government. You do not understand one thing. It is not about land. It is about lost life and opportunities. It still has impact on Poland. Honestly, I do not want your mover and I do not believe you would pay us. You would not. The point is you should start treating us equal. You should come to Poland on vacation in order to get to know us. You should update your knowledge. Average German knows nothing about Poland's modern history. It is always about WWII. I am tired of this the same as you are. You are not my Santa Claus and we are not cheap labor for you only. We are your neighbor and one of the biggest trading partners.

  5.  @ThomasZadro  It is not about land. It is not even about money that much anymore. It is about Germany's ignorande and not treating Poland as equal. You still do not understand land is the least important in all of this and Poland had nothing to say after 1945. You are aware of soviet victims but for you sovets for decades meant "russians only". How about Ukrainians? Belarussians? It is about all those countries and their fate Germany loved skipping while caring much about Russia's agenda only. I do not ask for more. I want relations to improve.Poles voted out PiS government for a reason but Poland is your bigger trading partner. Bigger than Russia ever was. Did you know? Most Germans have no clue. It is high time you start realizing there is a country between you and Russia.
    26
  6.  @TheBooban  What a shame German political spectrum is still full of those "understanding Russia" putting aside Ukraine's fate. in all of this.
    24
  7. Chirac showed Western arrogance towards Poland. Germany often acted in similar way puttin Russia's sensitive feelings above Poland's
    20
  8.  @Commander_Chopper  It is Russia and USSR which created Putin, not the opposite. Poles know it. Russia is always more or less the same. Russia simply has a break sometimes.
    15
  9.  @justaplayer94  it works both ways. Poles voted out ts anti german government. If Germans started looking at Poles as equal and stop calling Russia "its neighbors" we would improve.
    14
  10.  @TheBooban  but you always cared for russian feelings.
    14
  11.  @justaplayer94  I am Polish. Germany has learnt its lesson. Russians never learn. However, you never treated Poland as equal. Russia's agenda was always more important for you
    12
  12. German political leaders used to say "Russia is Germany's biggest neighbor". Where is German Russian border in al of this? Poland is Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was. The point is average German is simply ignorant when it comes to everything east of Oder river. PiS governmnet was terrible. Tusk is the right man in the right place but do not expect him to behave any differen when it comes to past.
    12
  13. It is not about land. When will you finally realize? It is about lost life, opportunities and so on. It still has impact on Poland after all these years. Poland lost almost 20% of its people and had no Marshall plan and you all kepp talking about land. I could not care less about LAND. Germans ofter thing about russian WWII victims and could not care less soviet victims were not only Russians but also Ukrainians and many others. They thin "Russia was hurt" and have no clue USSR was Germany's ally till 1941 and BOTH invaded Poland. There is a country between Germany and Russia. And it is called Poland which is also Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was.
    12
  14.  @zwerg8474  Cool but I am afraid if Ukraine failed in first 3 days of war, German leaders could not care less. They expected exacty that to happen. Germany started with 5000 helmets and pillows.
    12
  15.  @joenight9693  Let me remind you Germany started with 5000 helmets. Making bussines with Putin despite Poland's warnings made Putin powerful enough to start all of this mess in Ukraine. on many other levelsI never voted for PiS. It was terrible 8 years when it comes to Polish German relation and on everything else inside Poland but it is not about lost land and don't expect Tusk to behave in a different way.
    11
  16. Tusk is one of the most important and experienced EU leades these days. He is not the same guy Germany knew back in 2007. He is much stronger. It would be nice if Germans finally realised there is a country between them and Russia and its importance and influence is growing. Merkel was much stronger figure and Poland was in a different place over 10 years ago. . Scholz is weak and Tusk, no matter what his opponents inside Poland say, wll not bow to him.
    10
  17.  @timokohler6631  You often ignores Poland's voice and this is the problem. You still seem not to be ready to treat Poland as equal partner.
    10
  18. Exatly. Average German citizen has no clue that Poland is Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was.
    9
  19. I could not care less who distroyed it. It should have never been built in the first place.
    9
  20. I agree but Germany should stop looking down at Poland and start treating Poland as equal. It never happened.
    9
  21.  @joenight9693  Being nice works both ways. Start treating Poland as equal and stop thinking you always "know better". I want relation to improve but everytime Russia and Germany do something together you often do not want to listen to Poland's voice or care about our concerns.
    9
  22. I am afraid Germans do not want to learn from Poles because most still do not treat Poland as equal partner.
    8
  23. German political leaders used to call Russia's "its biggest neighbor" (where is the border?) It says it all when it comes to how they see Poland.
    8
  24.  @timokohler6631  PiS is not Poland and was voted out if you have not noticed yet. You always tell us to be grateful for EU money and shut up. Is that recpect to you? It is anything but. Also being blind for Putin's crimes was anything but responsible.
    8
  25.  @HeitorS.-dh2wl  I should stop reading after "but Poland is not equal". That is the whole point. You always expect us to be greateful and shut up. Also your knowledge about post war Poland is very little. "They just rebuid it. Guess what? We did the same and nobody helped us.
    8
  26. I could not care less about NS2. It should have never been built.
    7
  27. It is about Germany's ignorance when it comes to Poland. Russia is not Germany's neighbor. Poland is. Poland is Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was. And reparation is not about land. It is about life and opportunities Poland lost. I could not care less about more or less lant. It is not the point. And some still do not get it.
    7
  28.  @ThomasZadro  Average German knows very little about modern Poland. How many of you come to visit Poland on vacation? I am not talking about cheaper shopping. I am talking about being interested and getting know each other on daily basic. That would be great thing to start with.
    7
  29.  @jontalbot1  Germans are aware of WWII soviet victims but they think "russians only". They have no clue about Ukrainians, Belarussias and so on. Russia took all WWII soviet glory and skipped its dark sides (like invading Poland together with Germans and heldig joined victory parade in september 1939. Poland lost almost 20% of its people and still some German political leades used to say "Russia is Germany's neighbor" and never cared for Poland's and Baltic States voice and agenda.
    6
  30. whose military is better this time? Are you sure it is german?
    5
  31. It is not about land and not about money anymore. It is about lack of trust and disrespect as Germans never treated Poland as equal partner. It is high time they understood there is a country between them and Russia and it is not cheap labour only anymore. Polish people always here "Be grateful for EU money and shut up" while at the same time their knowledge about modern Poland is close to zero and their WWII knowledge was always overshadowed by USSR, and soviet victims often seen by Germans as "Russians only" which is false as many of them were also Ukrainians). I want relations to improve but everytime you hear german leader saying "he will think about it" when it comes to those few 90 years old alive victims left you can not be optimistic. Why doesn't he wait for another 10 years? Problem would be "solved"...
    5
  32. It is not about LAND and you still do not understand land is the least important in all of this.
    4
  33.  @guntherirlbeck8631  Not anymore but I am not sure if average German sees how much Poland improved over past 30 years. Most have never been here and their knowledge about Poland apart form WWII is close to zero. It would be nice if they wanted to get to know us better. That would improve our relations.
    4
  34.  @Frem_Kra  USSR was anythng but a liberator. For many Poles they were worse than Germans. USSR was Germany's ally till 1941 and they both agreed to invade and split Poland. Germany and Soviets even held joined victory parade. Katyn Massacre 1940 rings a bell? Soviets did that to Poles too.
    4
  35.  @gorg9599  it is not about land. Poland lost much more than just a land. Poland was soviet puppet state of USSR and had o Marshall plan. Poland had nothing to say. It was not Poland's free will or decission.
    4
  36.  @univeropa3363  Im tired of "not provoking Russia" crap. Russia is not a bear. It is cheap gas station. It is not a special need baby.
    4
  37.  @JahNgomba-ir2zi  Poles know Russia better than Germans ever will. Russia will never be democratic.
    3
  38.  @AnMar-s9u  Previous government is the key word here, don't you think? I personally voted PiS out. You can thank me later.
    3
  39. Oh wait, Orban is not Poland's friend anymore since Poland voted out PiS governmnet in October last year
    3
  40. Also Germany started with 5000 helmets and expected Ukraine to fail in 3 days time.
    3
  41. We do work together even if we do not agree on everything.
    2
  42. Or maybe you should own up to your mistakes when it comes to Russia and start treating Poland as equal?
    2
  43.  @abarette_  Russia will never fix itself. They don't know any better. With or without Putin.
    2
  44.  @ThG1618  It is time for you to realize Poland is Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was and Poland's EU membership benefits Germany as well. I really wish you well but stop thinking you are Poland's Santa Claus.
    2
  45. Poland was always there for you and never sends an invoice to Washington.
    2
  46. Why did Germany start with 5000 helment and waited for Ukraine's failure in 3 days time?
    2
  47.  @mimamo  Germany started with 5000 helmets and were expecting for Ukraine to collapse and surrender in 3 days time. They would go back to bussines as usual with Putin as quicly as they could. If Poland had not made so much noise at the beginning of this war in order to utite EU in helping Ukraine, there would have been no Ukraine
    2
  48. The point is Germans often acted as if there was no other country between them and Russia. Germany has learnt a lot. Russians never learn and never will. It is important to notice that too.
    2
  49. They started with 5000 helmets and improved. Give them some credit.
    2
  50.  @araxiel2051  first of al. Military and humanitarian help was never stopped on Poland's side even after grain mess. Second of all. Germany started with 5000 helmets and Poland had to push them to do more. If Ukraine failed in 3 days, German leaders could not care less.
    2
  51.  @Konterfeit  I don't want your money. You are not my Santa Claus despite the fact you love seeing yourself that way. Poland's EU membership benefits Germany as well.
    2
  52. I agreebut for this to happen Germans must start treating Poland as its eaqel partner.
    2
  53. Poland voted out PiS government in October last year and comparing Poland to Russia on any level is the biggest insult for Poland you can imagine. Stop spreading lies.
    2
  54. For Poles Russia is much worse. Russians never learn
    2
  55. Orban never wanted to go out of EU as well but it does not make him any less populist. Both needed EU money in order to remain their own power.

  56. speak for yourself.

  57.  @yves2932  Russia was is and will be Eastern Europe's biggest bully. With her Spain's gd Russia is anything but a super power. It is cheap gas station which did not noticed world moved on and left Russia behind. .

  58.  @yves2932  Russia is anything but power with her pathetic gdp.

  59.  @V3rciS  What you cal "russophobia" we call being russsoexperienced. Everytime you do something together Poland's fate and freedom is at risk and that is my point. If Germany's economic agenda hurts my country's agenda in terms of existende and freedom, if you bring war at my door, this is your fault.
    1
  60. It is not about land here
    1
  61. The point is what happened over 80 years ago still has impact on today's Poland. It is not about lost land. It is about lost life, opportunities. It is not about money. It is about german ignorance. They cared about soviet victims not being aware most of them were not russians but Ukrainians. Russia took all WWII glory and Germans let them do it. Russia's agenda was always more important for German political leaders than Poland's or Baltic States' as if they did not exist. Everytime Russia and Germany do something together, Poland's agenda is hurt and Poland's fate is at risk. I am happy PiS govermnent was voted out. I want Germans and Poles to be friends but average German does not know much about modern Poland because he does not want to. This is the problem as well. Germany must start realizing there is a country between them and Russia. It is high time they did.

  62. You do not get one thing. It is Russia and USSR which created Putin, not the opposite. Do not overestimate Russia's will to change into a peaceful and democratic country. Russia never was like that and never will be. With or without Putin. Poles know it best. Germans don't. Stop being naive. Russia is always the same. It is not a matter of one Putin in the office. They don't know any better.
    1
  63.  @abarette_  Russia will never change because it is Russia which created Putin, not the opposite. They don't know any better. Russia simply has a break from time to time and comes back to grab more. Always.

  64. Average German knows very little about modern Poland

  65. It is not about land or money. It is about lack of respect and ignorance on German side.

  67. Average German still knows nothing or very little about modern Poland and could not care less (exept for cheap shoping maybe).

  68. Stop acting as Poland's Santa Claus. Poland iis Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was and you are hardly aware of it. Besides Poland's EU membership improves Germany's economy as well. Stop looking down at us and never tell us to shut up.
    1
  69. You often did what Russia wanted. That is the problem.

  70. They also love seeing themselves as Poland's Santa Claus, "be grateful and shut up" while their knowledge about post war Poland is close to zero. Average German has no clue Poland is Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was.

  71. even IF (big if) Poland had something to so with NS2 being blown it is still Poland's best interest. If Russia had not invaded Ukraine, none of that would have happened. It was not on purpose. Can you see main difference?
    1
  72.  @christal4117  What you call Ukraine's criminal action was in fact an accident. Putin is the biggest criminal in all of this and NS2 let him be even worse.
    1
  73.  @fabianauer1986  Ask yourself first who did bring all of this mess to our doorstep in the first place. NS2 was built in order to make Putin powerful enough to invade Ukraine. It was all planned by him long time ago. So even if (big if because there is no evidence) Poland had something to do with blowing NS2 I am not even sorry.

  74.  @ΜΠΟΥΚΑΣΣΠΥΡΟΣ  Russia invades everytime it can and just because it wants to.

  75.  @timokohler6631  It was quite stupid to believe Russia would turn into a democratic country thanks to its trading ties with Germany. Germans simply do not know Russia as well as Poles do.
    1
  76.  @Konterfeit  I do not want you money. I want you to start treating Poland as equal partner and stop talking you are always Poland's Santa Claus. The is the point. You always wan us to "be grateful" and "shut up". Poland's EU membership is a chance for Germany as well. You simply prefer not seeing it this way. At the same time your knowledge about modern Poland is close to zero.
    1
  77.  @GERMAN_Patriot1.10  Poland never treated Germany as its slave.
    1
  78. And Scholtz says "he will think about it". 10 more years and problem will be "solved". It is not about money. It is about lack of respect. Germany never treated Poland as its equal parter.

  79.  @david.  Germany was expecting Ukraine to surrender in 3 days time and did not want to hep Ukraine at the beginning. Later they simply had no other choice but to change their mind.
    1
  80.  @david.  I try to get your point but it is really funny how easy it is for Putin to get german society scared while Polish people are used to russian threats and could not care less. I guess we simply know Russia better because we border Russia.

  81.  @michaelthomas5433  Nothing to be proud of.

  84.  @timokohler6631  Also Polish people are not only cheap labour. It is high time you realized it.
    1
  85.  @justaplayer94  I would be more than happy. I am glad we voted PiS government out. My quastion is how many Germans are interested in moders Poland? How many of you come here on vacation? Do you really treat us as equal or as cheap labor only? Are you aware we are Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was? Do you know Polan'd EU membership benefits both countries, not only Poland and you are not Poland's Santa Claus which gives us everything for free? Are you aware soviet WWII victims were also Ukrainians and many others, not only Russians? It is not about money. It is about being treated as equal partner.

  86. It is stil better than being in Putin's pocket for two decades like Germans.

  87.  @geraldwagner8739  While at the same time it is so easy for Russia to scare German society with nuclear threats....Poles are laughing everytime they hear russian bs talk.

  88. Russia never was and never will be Poland's brother.

  89. Average German citizen has no clue Poland is Germany's bigger trading partner than Russia ever was.

  90. If Poles were so Germanosceptic, PIS would be still it power...but it is not.

  91.  @univeropa3363  and still 1 out of 4 has no inside toilet. I think it is very easy to scare german society with russian threats while Poles are used to russian bs talk and could not care less.

  92.  @HeitorS.-dh2wl This is german logic at its finest. You always want us to be "grateful" while at the same time average German has no clue about modern Poland and its histrory apart from WWII period. You did rebuild it? Good for you. Believe me or not but we did the same. It is not about land or money anymore. You are not outr Santa Claus I want Polish German relations to improve. But it will not as long as you look down at us and tell us to be grateful skipping all the rest. Update your knowledge, come to visit modern Poland, learn something about us, be interested and than we can start building a better future. I am simply not sure if you really want it. It is about your attitute. You always "know better".
