“I thought she’d never leave,” muttered Polish President Kaczynski with clenched, smiling teeth as he waved goodbye to Chancellor Merkel at the airport. “Hope to see you soon…,” replied a smiling, waving Merkel back, before turning and entering her plane. “Not.”
While continuing diplomatic spats and other “issues” have added to the general impression of two neighboring countries with a less than optimal relationship, in reality the relations between Germany and Poland are really not that bad at all, being actually much more worse than you can probably imagine.
Kaczynski and his evil twin brother (or is he just a clone?) seem to take great personal and petty pleasure in still depicting Poland, the Poland of 2007, as the suffering victim of German aggression (as in World War II) and openly accusing Germany of being egotistical and selfish which is terribly rude indeed because that is precisely what Germany is. A petty and resentful Germany, for its part, appears to go out of its way in going out of Poland’s way in its slavish (Slavic?) dealings with Putin’s Russia.
And it’s kind of ironic, isn’t it? Merkel’s attempt at improving bilateral ties between the two countries comes right at a time when Poland is clearly working on improving its bilateral ties with the United States.
It would be fun to watch this made-for-TV show on a regular basis if it weren’t for the bitter aftertaste. Everybody knows that there will never be a satisfying resolution or happy end at the end. Germany and Poland just don’t trust or like each other, for a lot of “good” reasons. But being right about something, and they both are right, of course, doesn’t mean that they are necessarily doing the right thing.
Hey, whatever gets you through the night, I’d say.
Come visit me at Observing Hermann…

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackWhich nation has 2 highest position taken by a family member (Two identical twin brothers take the presidents and prime ministers position)? Poland. How do you describe this? Corruption. They are the worst asset to the EU, except by providing cheap escort services. Talking about what their honor, John Paul II is not really polish, if you read the biography. Language is a mix of Cyrillic taken from Belarusian, Ukrainian, Slovenian, and Russian, except there are a few new swear words were added. The only good thing about poland are sausages, I’d personally call it Sausageland. But you got to buy them in Germany, because the meat in poland might contain salmonella bacteria. I got the worst diarrhea in my life in there, just watch out and never buy food in suspicious looking restaurants. One more thing about food, never buy a soup called “zurek” there are many reported cases of tuberculosis infections from it (since the eggs are not properly handled with meat). There are a lot of things you should watch out, 90% people on the street are pocket picking. My trip to the beach (Baltic sea, very cold) was the worst experience ever, I’ve rented a house one of the most expensive ones (trying to get some good service) The toilets were like the army holes, I bet they clean them once in a season, if at all. It had a beach view, couldn’t stand the smell of feces and urine coming from the bushes. Watch out when walking, the sand might contain broken bottles and glass chips. There are some ok looking blonds in there, but if they open their mouth you will realize that dental hygiene & a toothbrush doesn’t exist in the coutry. Polish is only known because of the jew’s that live in there, which promoted its flag (looks like Austrian cut in half) over religion. Jewish people also brought some stuff to poland from neighboring countries, where later polish museums stole the artifacts and some of the might still be seen. The world of art is all concentrated in Far East of Europe (Byelorussia, Ukraine, Russia, and partly Romania). Poland is architecturally dull, compared to other European countries, which I traveled to. Tourist non-friendly as only 2% of the population are English speaking and under least 4% German speaking (only due to geographic/visitor reasons). I believe its very overrated country and should be somewhere on the list between Ethiopia and Zimbabwe. If you’re looking for some bush & puddle sightseeing, you should travel close to its neighboring nations, where the roads are drivable. After my 2 week trip the only positive thing that comes to my mind is Auschwitz.
If you can hear me way back there in 2007, Cyrillic is a type of alphabet, like the one that Russian uses, not a spoken language, and Polish is certainly mixed with neighboring languages, much in the way that English is, it is considerably older than Russian, one of the world’s youngest. Actually, Poilsh uses a version of the Roman alphabet, just like english and German. Mr. Michael, you are a big-mouthed ass who has all of his facts backwards. Spierdalaj.
Also, it’s impossible to get TB from food, you putz.
