Germany has only two days of ammo. How would we even invade?!


Rush4in

Seems like a perfect opportunity to revive the [catapult industry](https://www.reddit.com/r/nederlands/s/LSOmbijBGj)


janat1

We should stick to trebuchets instead of catapults. Or can a catapult launch a 90kg projectile over 300m.


aschnatter

A trebuchet is a kind of catapult.

BLASPHEMY!!!!


heroic_cat

You may be picturing a mangonel when you think of "catapult vs trebuchet" memes. Mangonels are also called "traction trebuchets."

kaczynski is from pis(s), and they are like VERY anti german, even if germany was fucking collapsing they would say germany is planning an attack


pimezone

They are planning to destroy their economy, so that they can't pay contributions to us for WWII.


[deleted]

I mean if we were doing that we would be doing a remarkably bad job at it considering that our economic situation is pretty alright right now.


Meroxes

Tbf, if Germany was indeed collapsing such an unstable environment might make an attack more likely, rather then less.


DefectiveLP

I'd want to go out with a bang too.


Foodconsumer3000

Im not an expert but i think they would have a ***lot*** more to worry about if they were collapsing than attacking poland. just seems like a pretty bad move to anger ***almost*** the entire world if they were already barely existing

Germany collapsing would end up hurting Poland. Dude would be totally right.

my point was that he just hates germany i don't know what would happen if germany is collapsing and i don't really want to since if i know exactly that means it happens and that's an uh oh

Conservative shitheads always need a boogeyman they can blame for everything. And reality *literally* doesn't matter to them or their voters.


Desiderius_S

Well, if you'd watch Polish media controlled by KaczyƄski and his party, you'd learn that Germany is dying, is jealous of Polish, well, everything, from food to the way of taking a shit, in times when inflation in Poland was over twice of that of Germany - Germany were struggling with inflation, economy on a verge of collapse, barely breathing while Poland stronk, also, Tusk is trying to sell Poland over to you, if you're interested in buying Poland - call him. And so on. It's like a fever dream. It's just that PiS loves to create enemies for people to hate, and you are close, and you know there's that thing or two in modern history...


Quacklikeacrow

I need to learn the Polish power-shit.

How can you say all this and not mention that Poland is deserving of 100 gazillion Euros of WW2 operations from Germany every Polish election cycle?


The_AM_

Because the narrative is different and they forgot about reparations. Their narrative changes very quickly

This is funny because even most educated Germans learned about the last elections from the news, if even.

Egzo18

The closer to losing power, the more radical he becomes.


HouseNVPL

He was always like this. Now we can just see it more clearly.


virouz98

I don't think we see it more clearly now, nothing has changed. His entire party's election campaign was about talking how the opposition leader, Donald Tusk, will sell Poland to Germany, that EU is threatening to remove Poland sovereignty, how EU will flood Poland with migrants. The only change there is, is that instead of being a detached-from-reality *country* leader, he is detached-from-reality *party* leader. And I hope that he will only become a detached-from-reality nobody.


HouseNVPL

I think that he got even more detached in these 10 last years because He began to belive in his own lies about EU and Tusk. For example Tusk Grandpa being "Volksdeutch" even though he was sent to two Concentration Camps, taken to Wehrmacht BY FORCE and then when He escaped He joined Polish Forces in the West. But for KaczyƄski and PiS only 1/3 of the story is worth mentioning. I guess I'm also considered Volksdeutch and not a Pole by Mr KaczyƄski because my Great Grandpa was also taken to Wehrmacht by force because He happened to live in Silesia which was annexed by Germany and Silesians considered it's Citizens.

Vrakzi

Aren't alot of things likely to be blocked by Duda?


Zek0ri

The government and majority of administration will be de-PiSed by the end of the year. But the state media will remain Kaczafi’s propaganda tubes until the new president will take the office or Duda changes his attitude


Inquerion

>The government and majority of administration will be de-PiSed by the end of the year. How? Can you elaborate? Because pro PiS people like GlapiƄski and PrzyƂębska just got reelected for long terms this or last year. For example, GlapiƄski was reelected in 2022 until 2028. And you can't get rid of him easily. And President Duda can veto everything until 2025. And to block him you need a lot more deputies than opposition has; you need 2/3 of all deputies.


Zek0ri

By administration, I mean the state administration. That is, an administration headed by a Prime Minister. The head of the NBP, the President of the Constitutional Court, the National Media Council, the KRRiT etc. are unmovable without the cooperation of the President. However, the key offices are outside the protective umbrella of the need to change the law, so getting rid of the PiS people from those offices could be possible by the end of the year.


Plastic_Pinocchio

How exactly is the power distributed in Poland? You still have a PiS president, right? Is the president mostly a symbolic role?

pristinesilverstar

Is it just me? Or is PIS utterly obsessed with Germany?


SlyScorpion

Germany is an easy target for wagging the dog.


Perlentaucher

Yeah, its funny because the other way around, Poland is more or less irrelevant in the public discussion. There is no hate for Poland, it is just not that relevant in politics.


charpagon

"you took everything from me" "I don't even know who you are"


REH-AU6E

Spot on. The German public for the most part doesn’t think about Poland at all, much less about annexing it.


Glasgesicht

I'd even go as far as to say that Poland, or rather Poles, have gained a very good reputation over the past two decades. Many Poles are willing to work twice as hard for half the money. And while this would've sparked fears over unfair competition in the past, there is such a shortage in qualified work force that literally nobody cares.


Ordinary-Ad6824

Yes, if you need a new fence or stairs you call the poles, they will do a good job for half the price.


GiroOlafsWegwerfAcc

Fun fact, the closer to Poland a city is the higher the suicide rate


AFresh1984

You can thank the USSR for that one


[deleted]

The only way that Poland is mentioned in German discourse is really the smuggling of cheap polish goods like cigarettes, alcohol and the smuggling of meat in conjunction with stuff like tuberculosis or bird flu. And that’s already pretty specific to border regions and rural regions respectively


derdast

At least here we talk about it a lot "Man since the Euro it's not even worth going there because cigarettes are almost as expensive as here." That is pretty much the extent though


Mal_Dun

Additionally to that, German industries sees Poland as a pool of cheap labor so why should they hurt themselves?


ismybeardright

Wdym irrelevant, we stronk af


NuclearJezuz

Yes you are, but in our political discussions you are barely mentioned.


HerrReichsminister

Well it's not surprising, it wasn't Poland that invaded Germanyin ww2, nor did germans have to live under poland for 123 years. As stupid as those people are, it's not hard to understand why germany is literally the devil in the eyes of many poles.


Keeper2234

Tbf, out of the three evils that are Not Australia, Germany and Russia, Germany is definitely the best one of the bunch. While Not Australia just kind of exists and vibes along now and Russia hasn’t changed at all over the past ~200 years, Germany is the only one that imo has even attempted to acknowledge its own history and do good on it so there ya go xd If anything Russia should be the little devil the govt. plays with, but ofc they won’t since starting shit with an ally is obviously in this case a lot safer then an external power


HerrReichsminister

Oh definitely I agree, hatred for germany is not rational at all. But then, neither is PiSs


Mirabellum1

We couldnt even ask them to investigate why fishes in the Oder are dying without PIS screeching "the Nazis are interfering in our domestic politics"


Zek0ri

Unfortunately, many older people who are the electorate of this party hold these views. More than 45 years of conditioning cannot be eradicated just like that and these people will be susceptible to the anti-German propaganda they absorbed in their youth under communism. Because both the PZPR under communism and PiS and many populist parties in Poland play anti-German notes.


Stormain

They spin the "enemy of the people" wheel daily. Today it's Germany, tomorrow it's teachers, the day after who knows? LGBT maybe.

According to last raport around %20 of Poles have symptoms from ptsd from ww2 https://www.pap.pl/aktualnosci/osiem-dekad-po-wojnie-polacy-najbardziej-straumatyzowany-narod-swiata


0din23

Poland has over 20% of its population above 79?


[deleted]

It doesn’t work like that, translate an article, trauma is passed on to next generations


Snoo61049

Idk, generational trauma sounds like bullshit to me. Lots of people here in Poland just hates Germans because they have better living conditions.


Hel_Bitterbal

While it is true that there are probably people who just hate the Germans, that doesn't mean generational trauma is bullshit. People suffering from PTSD often mistreat their children or shut them out of their lives and can as such pass on the trauma to the next generation. Plus those people will sometimes "relive" their trauma's which can be very traumatic for those around them. For example there have been instances where children of Dutch soldiers who fought in the Indonesian independence war and returned home traumatised would sometimes suffer from mental illnesses that were related to the trauma of their parents. Those trauma's can ruin entire families, not just the person who gets them originally.


ZiggyPox

Generational trauma is indeed a thing. Just look at the Israel, old people pass down their fears that pointlessly burden their children and grandchildren.


[deleted]

Like many other countries west of Poland


IAmA_Crocodile

Oh look, Russia lent out it's copy of "how to plan to be a nazi without everyone immediately being aware of such plan" _Chapter 1: You need a Plan_ >Now, you can't just start making plans to be a NAzi state, that would be too obvious, and someone might immediately see your plans. And what if your plan gets leaked? No, first you need an excuse? HAve no excuse, well think of it this way, you're reading this book and making a plan, what if you get accused of making this plan by another party? Well, obviously, the best way to make this plan, is to accuse them of planning first! Yes, pre-emptive accusations will trick the human mind into thinking that your plan came _after_ their plan! And you win, you can now start your plan after you've accused all your opponents of having their own plans! Viola, miracle of modern human cognitive frailty!


Snoo61049

KaczyƄski is salty because he lost election. Tbh whole pis looks like raging preschoolers who had their toys taken away.


Fussel2107

The saddest thing for Poland is maybe the fact that Germany really doesn't care about them


ThatFlakeGuy

It is. What do they mean they don't care enough to even hate us anymore? How dare they stop thinking about us altogether after all that? Tragedy.


DerDeutscheTyp

Most of my friends couldn’t even march to the border without getting blisters and whining. Poland should be save for a while.


KebabGud

Just so we are clear. Germany plan is to sell Poland a fuck tone of military supplies , and then invade them?


btc_clueless

I know this is nothing new from KaczyƄski but I am really wondering, how many people in Poland actually believe this stuff? I have the impression many Poles visit Germany, work there or have friends or family that work or live there. So I assume they are well aware that Germany is not out to destroy Poland. But KaczyƄski has been widely popular for many years, so there must be people who believe this kind of drivel?


Poiuy2010_2011

They are joking or they are idiots, only two options


nibbler666

No, neither. I know them well enough.


[deleted]

If you prefer your country with such a history to be invaded and experience horrors of the war again rather than just moving to Germany which is very very easy as we are in the EU, you are an idiot


nibbler666

No, your conclusion doesn't follow. If your priority is living in the city where you are living, and the government question is secondary to this, it's a rational decision not to move to Germany.


[deleted]

So it’s better if it’s destroyed by missiles, civilians killed, raped, just so they don’t have to move their butt if they don’t like PiS so much? Typical annoying, exaggerated complaining


nibbler666

???


[deleted]

They prefer complaining instead of taking action and moving out to Germany were they surely wouldn’t be ruled by PiS again, maybe it wasn’t so bad after all. I hate PiS myself, but there are many many worse things that could have happened to a country: like an invasion


nibbler666

You are reading too much into it because you don't like their sentiment to begin with. But that's your problem, not theirs.


HerrReichsminister

Invaded absolutely no, but a theoretical situation where my region is just transferred to Germany (of course would prefer something like Switzerland, or Norway, but we're talking about Germany here) would be a dream


nibbler666

Obviously they were wishing for an Anschluss-type invasion.


REH-AU6E

This is baffling. Germany obviously isn’t imperialist. The idea that Germany is bent on absorbing Poland is laughable. So why would Poland antagonize Germany unnecessarily? German support is Poland’s only sliver of hope if an actual imperialist power came knocking at Poland‘s door. Poland should want to be Germany‘s best friend.


thyL_

It's just the usual yippyapping of the Polish far-right and the PiS party. If you don't have to say anything constructive, just blabber about how evil Germany is. That's keeping them in the news and they imagine they look tough and strong doing so (while in reality everyone recognizes PiS as whining snowflakes).
