And do I have to post the Russian occupant video again?
Russia doesn't invade and destroy countries on the other side of the planet for no reason at all(except oil and $$$), like the US. It protects ethnic Russians against an evil regime brought to power by.. yes.
Nothing bad about weapons if they are used to defend yourself. If the Russians didn't have weapons during WWII, Hitler would have won that war.
I'll go even further, Russians are cool, nice people in general, very friendly if you get to know them (not if it's their duty to be friendly like in the us, where it's an obligation to smile to clients). They'll sacrifice themselves for you. BUT ever try to hurt them or cheat them and you're done.
In Belarus, we don't have any internal chaos or conflicts. And I think most people would not like to be a part of Poland. Maybe some minority would agree, but it is definitely not a popular idea.
Part of the population would like to be a member of the EU, but a part of Poland? No..
you don't, as of 2015
but in the 2020s as Russia and Ukraine start to fall into chaos, you will iswell
im not talking about Belarusians wanting to join in the present day, but 10 to 15 years from now when the situation will have changed drastically
Please look at the rapidly declining population of Eastern European countries for reference to your "fantasty"
the population would still be over 100,000,000
if we factored in the population decline
Poland is actually gaining population, the population in Eastern Europe will stabilize soon, and as the economic situation gets better, it might rise again
If Poland was to be this big, Id also imagine it encouraging immigration from the remains of the Russian state and poorer areas in Eastern Europe
Western Europe is the Europe that will loose its relevance in this century
and someone says 'japan will be an international power in 50 years'
someone replies 'Hahhahaha you uneducated swine, you must be on Opium !'
the year 1900
'in 50 years the Europeans will loose their colonial empires and the united states will be a world superpower'
'HAHAAHAHAAH, you dirty stupid fool, loose our empires ? hahahahaha'
the year 1950
'the Soviet union will collapse in 50 years'
'what utter bull****'
Ukraine will descend further into chaos like it already is doing, that chaos will spread into Belarus and Russia, Russia and Belarus will face internal problems of their own in the 2020s
and as the Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian economies collapse and their is internal violence, Poland and a coalition of eastern European states will maintain order in Ukraine and Belarus, eventually Poland will start to annex the eastern territories with the support of the local population who will want economic and political stability
a lot can change in 10 years
There is an expression for that kind of thinking, it's called "wishfull thinking".
Belarus and Russia have learned from what happened in Ukraine (a tragedy in which Poland played a very ugly role), nothing similar will happen, Belarussians praise the lord they're not born in Ukraine.
So why countries like Belgium, Netherlands, France, etc. are full of Polish workers?
Good question. Over 150,000 Eastern Europeans live in Norway. I do not think most East European countries will catch up in the next 20 years or so, at least not Romania, Bulgaria and the Balkan countries.

True, because they can't reach that far. Russia only invades neighbours.
It's not that "Germany and Poland have much more in common than Germany and France."
It's just that Poland became de facto German colony, ( which you obviously can't say about France,) and of course Germans would feel more comfortable in the newly-acquired colony, where practically everything is bought and sold for their money. While France is France.
"Part of what makes Poland such a good place to invest today is the depth of the bond it has forged with Europe’s leading economy. The relationship benefits both countries. A large part of the German export machine is now based in Poland. Poland gets German investment and markets for its goods, and Germany profits from the opportunity to use Poland as a low-cost, high-quality production platform to compete with East Asia. Indeed, some German industries are able to produce goods in Poland for less than what they would cost to make in China. And Poland offers Germany a friendly business climate, plenty of skilled labor, and, above all, proximity."
So there you have it.
Overall my opinion is such, that all those EE country that boast their "Western nature" have been simply heavily Germanized throughout history, thus losing their original identity and not being able to come up with anything distinctive of their own any longer.
But their bathrooms are clean though, I'm sure, and that I see as a positive development on another hand)))
oh looks its an ignorant German !
Guten Tag Adolf !
no, Poland was never 'Germanized' and no other eastern European country ever was either
Germnay only had control of a small part of Poland, and even then for less than 100 years
Poland, along with all of eastern Europe has unique culture which has lasted for more than 1000 years
you are the one loosing your identify, as western cultures slowly erode and become urban and multicultural
