Genetically, the Poles might be very similar to the Russians, but culturally, they have been very heavily influenced by the Germans. And another thing is that, although I am not very fond of the Poles, I will agree that their numbers have been going down for the last many decades (if not many centuries), due to assimilation. In the 19th and 20th centuries, large number of Poles were assimilated in to the other ethnic groups, such as Germans, Ukrainians, Belorussians, Lithuanians, Russians.etc. 

Thats why I mentioned "syndrom of small nation" too  religion and assumed national identity are really two most significant differences between Pole and Russian. Genetically (and culturally considering pre-christian times), they are very, very close.

See for yourself.

Being Catholic is no excuse for being stupid and Russophobic. If that was the case, then the French and the Italians would have been even more Russophobic than the Poles, and the Romanians even more pro-Russian than the Kazakhs. But that is not the case. IMO, the problem is that the Poles are easily brainwashed. A reason for that might be the reduced intelligence and mental retardation resulting from working too much time in the toilets of Germany and the UK.

Bryant,

actually along with Belarussians, Poles are genetically practically identical to Russians. Their irrational behavior can be easily explained by their catholic bias aswell as complex of "great nation" confined to "small country" (fault of Russians of course). I do not approve of Polands actions (which has been destabilizing to european peace in the past century), but I do understand their agenda.

Meanwhile, Europe gets swamped by more selfinflicted debts and refugees...

Do you have any evidence for all the verbal diarrhea which comes out through your orifice? As far as I know, the Crimean Tatars are still living in Crimea. No one kicked them out.


Listen. Russia is the no.2 weapons exporter in the world. Arms industry is one of the major forex earners. You worry about the bankruptcy of your country (Ukraine). The Russians know how to take care of their country.


In peace, and without sovereignty, as loyal vassal states of the US.


Oh, then what about the 70 or so countries which were invaded by the Americans in the past 7 decades?


Most of the Poles are born idiots. So it doesn't surprise me. And what your gay pope Jean-Paul II did is not important here. The iron curtain was brought down by Ronald Reagan, and not by the Polish idiots or the gay pope.

Research was published by Levada center, which is based in the USA, not Russia. As you are not being able to get even this fact (mentioned in OP) straight, I doubt rest of your post is relevant to topic at hand.

Like Russian burned book in Crimea ? Like Russian kicked all tatars from Crimea ? Of course when this is others ... this is bad , but when russian ... normal ... nothing to look go away ... LoL

Have you a brainwashed ? Russia get destroyed only and only because they prefered to build weapons ... nothing to do with Puppet ...  If russian gov had taken more care about the basic things ... never the Russia had the bankrupt ...  and for the Wall i let you you choose ..

You come here to do critic over US & all European ... but so far all the EU country lived in peace after the WWII WAR and not with the "communist like" ... spy your neighbor to get a better place in the party..

After the end of WW2 ... the only country that sent TANK to put down population HAS BEEN RUSSIA ....  Praga ?? You have some miss in your historic culture ?? How the Polish president declined the offer of the Russia to deploy Tank too in poland when workers in Gdansk .... go outside to kick the communist party !

And this is a good thing that the Iron curtain has been break with the help of Pope Jean-Paul II & Polish people ... If living under Russian was so Nice .... explain us why all country living under Russian domination, once free ... banned mostly russian ... and do not want to get anymore anything with them ... ? Hoo just for the fun perhaps ?

Have to love stats coming out of Russia about loving a dictator,North Korea will follow suit now.

Putin has a real problem on his hands and I can not wait to see how he deals with it. He has so far been a pretty good strategist,have to admit the Russian mind is different. They play poker and chess differently.
So he has very little friends or some one he can trust to take over for him and not take away all the money he has built up. Honestly he could end up dead if the wrong people got into power,he has way to much money to be ignored. They estimate his billions and they figure he could be in the high billions.

Ha, ha, he was term limited out, then handed off to his vice president, and then became president again.  I keep expecting Bill Clinton to try this in the USA.

Anyway, clearly Putin resonates with many Russian citizen.  Having control of the media and putting a lot of his political opponents in jail probably also helps.  However, it is hard to argue with his success.

I'm surprised that Putin's ratings are still lower than the average Russian IQ (97)

Putin acted against the oligarchs after he became the president, but by that time most of the oligarchs had moved their ill-gotten gains out of the country (with help from Western banks such as the HSBC, Goldman Sucks, JP Morgan Chase, and the Citibank). Still, he was able to recover some of the stolen wealth (Yukos for example). And this is the main reason why the Western politicians hate Putin.

Exactly. Putin is just the polar opposite of Boris Yeltsin. Under Yeltsin, the ordinary people were starving and fleeing the country, while the oligarchs were accumulating their wealth through various dubious means. That changed when Putin came to power. The oligarchs started fleeing the country (Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky.etc), while the living standards for the ordinary Russians improved.

Before Putin, it was free for all for Russians. After him the Oligarchs started paying taxes

Putin is the example of how a leader should be

I was referring to the polls conducted in Macedonia, where the majority of the people said that they don't want to join the NATO. What your defense minister says is not important here.


If things go on like this, soon that will be the case.


Oh sure... the invasion of Iraq was all about defending peoples, not about oil.
The invasion of Libya was also about defending peoples, not about oil.
The invasion of Afghanistan was also about defending peoples, not about controlling the opium trade.

As I wrote before the public debt of USA is at the point that the American people has no bread to eat. The us dollar is going "down" compare to all the currencies. NATO don't invades peoples but defend peoples. Russia invades peoples like Ukrainians and Georgians because they wanted to go away of the Russian "welfare" and join EU and NATO. And NATO are stealing Crimea to Ukraine. Russia is defending this place from American enemies.

USA don't need to poke Russia or another country because have no reason to do this. And contrary to Russia who invades the free countries only to impose its will, will never do this.

The American public debt now stands at $19 trillion, and soon the NATO will run out of money to conduct new warfare and invasions. The Americans can only bully smaller nations, such as Serbia, Iraq and Afghanistan. If they try to poke Russia, China or Iran, then they will get their asses kicked really hard.

And who told you that the Macedonians want to join the NATO? The public is now opposed to the NATO, after the latter instigated the Albanian Muslims to invade Gošince in 2015.

Ha, ha. Since the Putin is in power at Russia Usa had big troubles because of him. The USA people have less to eat, less money, less attractions, less all. And all those because of the glorious leadership of Putin in the whole world. Ruble is going high compare to us dollar and the economy of Russia is going even more high ultimately.

Nato is in the way to be dissolved. Has lost all the interventions  in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. Have no money to go ahead and will pray Russia to lend some. No one country want to join NATO. Except all the countries when Russia impedes with war to do this like Ucraina or other countries from all over the Europe (Georgia, FYROM, Montenegro etc).

Poor Usa and NATO!!!

You're being influenced by the media too much. If you consider where Russia was 20-30 years ago, this guy has done several miracles to the country. Crimea is probably another major reason which started strengthening the nationality within the country.

Exactly. Technically speaking it is his right to take back Crimea because it was illegally transferred to Ukraine. However, the western media made everyone disregard that and made Putin look like a bad guy (which he is not).

The Russians are intelligent. And they know what is best for them. And Putin is the worst thing that ever happened to the USA and the NATO.


He is trying to rebuild Russia, which was completely destroyed during the 1990s by the American puppet Yeltsin. And he has succeeded in doing that.


If it is such a microscopic part, then why can't the Ukrainians keep their mouths shut?

Crimea was a part of Russia until 1954, when it was illegally transferred to Ukraine. Around 90% of the population is Russian speaking. And they decided to rejoin Russia, after the Kiev junta tried to suppress their human rights (for example the ban on Russian language).

Putin is the man. He is the only one who can stop terrorist USA destroying the world.
