Cheap. Such comments you can keep for thyself.

Relativising again?
No. Never in the EU's history has a country been acting so destructively, and openly aiming at doing as much damage to it's neighbour as possible. Even the British where not as aggressive back then whehn they demanded their speciaol rabates. I think there is a reason why this destructive side of current Polish government is critized and explicitly pointed out from politicians throughout Europe.
If somebody constantly and over and over again behaves like the bully of the block, he deserves to be named as that. Poland's acting is without example in the history of the EU.
Giving her farewell-speech to the EU presidency at Brussel, Merkel said - loosely translated - something like this: "Friendship, trust and cooperation that has been built in years and even decades, can easily eventually be shattered in just one night." And she added in her next sentence: "Yes, that is true - it can eventually be shattered in just one night." Guess whom that was pointed at... She got loud ovations in the EU parliament when she was finished.
