The European Commission has opened an enquiry into whether new Polish laws break EU 'democracy rules'. Is this a prelude to Germany invading Poland?

No.

 


Optimistic as ever

Best hope not. We did a pretty feeble job of looking after Poland's democratic interests last time round.

And last time we had an army. Any future world war would likely be fought out over Twitter

If it is... then I hope the Poles don't charge towards the German Panzer Tanks on horses again... it wasn't the best thought out tactic of 1939.

Nor was the Warsaw Uprising, but a nation of heroes nevertheless. As Churchill said, "the spirit of Poland is indestructible." That we left them to Stalin is unconscionable.

If they do it would be about time. After all they must be busting a gut in frustration at not having invaded anyone in 70+ years.

 


If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Largely a myth created by the Germans to show their ethnic superiority. Both the Germans and Poles used cavalry.

I've seen an episode of The World At War on this topic and they had video footage of the dead horses and soldiers.... are you saying the German's faked this?
