Can't the Kaliningradians take some sort of Ferry to St. Petersburg if they don't want to bother with the overland paperwork?

P.S. East Prussia belongs to Canada anyways.

Murdering innocent civilians isn't justified because their government did the same to your people. In fact, one could argue it makes you worse, because you more than anyone should know how wrong that is.

Why don't the Russians just make Kolingrad a special free trade zone? I'm sure they could sign a treaty with the EU and the Russian economy would benifit by turning Kolingrad into their modern "window" into the west.

After WW2 Stalin forcably removed all the Germans (and a fair number of the Poles) and replaced them with new ethnic Russian settlers. I imagine the Russians will want to stay with Russia.

Hi

quote:

Why should every country even care? Why dont they ALL invade poland and divide it up? It would probably be very easy to....


Of course. Russia, which can't win a war with 150x smaller Tchechenia. Lithuania is our friend, and it is weak anyway. Byelorus exists only thanks to Russian help now. Ukraine is our friend, and it is very poor now anyway.


And personaly I highly respect Germans. Russians and Germans are historicaly tied. We have much more good pages in our history then bad pages like wars.


I was here from the beggining, you just resurected old Heresson's whine-thread- "return all to Poland, everything from Paris to Brazil"

LOL. When I saw this thread I thought: "OMG, Heresson strikes again!" But it turns out this is a very old thread.


I say, give Kalingrad a high speed train connecting Kalingrad to Russia. This cannot be a major problem.

quote:

Give it back to Germany! It's the last remanant of Prussia! What could be more German than Prussia!

Konigsberg should be returned to Germany, along with Danzing and the rest of East Prussia. Those lands are rightfully part of the Fatherland.


If You study history You'll learn of pre-Germanic citizens of Prussia. About the conquest of it, about Polish colonisation of the south and Lithuanian of the north of it, about Prussian states protesting against ceding them by Poles to Hohenzollerns...

quote:

Poland got Pommerania and Silesia as compensation for their eastern territories, which were occupied by the Soviet Union 1939 and not given back after the war. The Poles also expelled the German civilians completely. Who refused to go, was murdered


First of all, I'd like to remind You that Silesia and Pomerania were historically and at start ethnically
tied with Poland. Secundo, unlike in Tchechoslovakia,
it's not Poland that ordered to expell Germans, but the
major powers of the world. Who wanted to stay could,
if He declared Polish nationality.

It's not about real situation.

Well, if you go back far enough, all of Europe was Celtic. Should we give Prussia to the Irish?

Prussia is German. Give it back or face the mighty armies of the Fatherland.

Really?
Their so-called "regular" formations were defeated within a couple of months since second war started. If by "can't win a war " you mean that we can't win war vs. guys which ways of fight wars based on such things as explosions on markets, blow-up of apartment buildings, kidnaping civilians and childrens and as they call it -"unique military operations" like capture of hundreds of hostages in Mosow's theater, then yes, we are unable to win such "war", yet.
Perhaps you know who is able?
Israel can stop suicide bombers? The president of USA could guaranty that Sept. 11 will never happen again?
I doubt. So, shut-up.

A first step would be the integration of Poland in the European Union. Although I admit, that nationalists like Heresson are a big obstacle. May be we should give Poland a few more years to develop and educate their citizens, especially the young ones. In the 30s, Germany was full of people thinking alike, and we all know how it ended. Today most Germans, except of a small bunch of flag-waving morons, got over the loss of Silesia, Pommerania and Eastern Prussia and also don't care about Alsace and Lorraine anymore. In a couple of years all this will be European, and national differences will matter less with the time. Poland would be wise to prepare its citizens to be Europeans instead of flag waving nationalists. "Europe" means more than receiving billions of Euros for subsidies and infrastructure help and flooding the continent with cheap potatoes.

I think Sir Ralph's last comment and summary is good. The EU isn't just a matter of getting financial support like many of the Poles (especially the peasants) think. Bollocks. Finland is one of the countries who's trying to get rid of subsidies, unlike the Poles who whine for more, even if they 1. aren't yet members 2. haven't yet received a single €. Sir Ralph also mentioned the former German territories of Silesia, etc. I could compare the same situation to the Karelia issue. Well, we do have the fanatic Finn Pekka here, but in general it's a diminishing number of people (I would count them in hundreds or maybe up to a thousand) and they're mostly elder people. So I'm pro European as the rest and also underline that e.g. Heresson should drop the case of Kaliningrad; it's a waste of time and you won't get more €€€ from the EU because of that.
