Well you better start learning Polish ( or click on the upper right corner -> choose language :03:)

It's Deutsche Welle, our state-funded international radio - a pretty good source for news considering Germany, quite renowned and neutral.

There are a lot of people here in the U.S. with no faith in a republic as a form of government. A lot of people feel that representatives don't care about representing us but only pander to the small, and seemingly wealthiest, section of society. When people think the "leaders" they voted in don't represent them it creates a lot of voter apathy. We had a very low turnout in our last election, lower than it has been since WW2 when a lot of people didn't vote because they were overseas.

I don't know a lot about Poland but maybe the same thing is going on over there. People don't vote and then they're stuck with someone who has totalitarian aspirations. If this is the case, perhaps they'll wake up and vote this guy out.

Or maybe they prefer some sort of dictator. At least it's not a republic, which they have lost faith in. Some who no longer trust a republic may choose to go toward a dictator form of government and others may choose direct democracy.

Whatever the reason, I wish the people Poland well. I hope they can solve this problem in a way that won't leave them in jeopardy.

Not just the US, but what can you do? I mean what other forms of government are there which work better? What goals should a government work towards? For the people or for the nation?
Perhaps in a hundred years or so (providing we haven't blown ourselves up by then) there will be an AI government which will run according to the mood of the people which would be regulated through regular polling. Even then though I suspect that it will only please a select group of people.
As the saying goes, you can't please everyone. :03:

hehe :har:

hehe, you could listen to the infamous polish "Radio Maria":
http://www.radiomaria.org/

They paint themselves as religious, but what they really do is support right-extremist views, supporting all the political nutjobs.

But hey isn't that what most do? After all if people would really think, all this (self)right(eous) blunder would be gone in a second. I really miss people like Sagan.

The Polish constitutional court has ruled the judicial reforms of PiS as unconstitutional. PiS however doesn't acknowledge the verdict...:/\\!!

All ahead flank to the dictatorship. :wah::wah::/\\!!:/\\!!

You guys (Germany) could re-invade? Second time a charm? We need some new history anyway for computer games to be written from. WW2 as been done to death I think, and I'm ready for some fresh material!
Do you split Poland with Putin though?
Merkel... riding in an open hatch of a panzer FTW.
At least yousa guys have the cool matching music.:up:
You do have a "Z Plan", don't you.

Don't worry Poland, Obama totally has your back covered.

Not for long!!! Trump??:hmmm:

Simples....he'll build a large tall wall.

Germany could always order a recall of the various parts of the Berlin wall that have immigrated since it came down. I know that there's one part outside the Imperial War Museum in London. :hmmm:

Speaking of right wing populism, AFD will probably be doing well today.

Operation Barbarossa II has been a GO for awhile now. Wonder if regime change in Poland is a planned event to get NATO to check its six and off Russia's doorstep?

It did. 21 percent in one county :shifty:
I guess they will have good relations, with Trump :dead:

:hmmm: I hear that New Zealand is nice...

:hmmm: Hmm yes

But there were some people who saw it all coming, and decided to emigrate to a remote island and live there, before WW2 started.

They chose the Solomon islands.
