He's very popular with Russians, that we know, and Poland is very close to Russia. This makes sense.

Although I wouldn't say Trump is popular with ALL foreign leaders. Only those with a head on their shoulders.
So Putin, Kim, who else?

Hungary, Czech Republic, and Japan. Possibly some of the southeast Asian nations.

You can disparage them all you want, but in the absence of some catastrophic events, they will still be Russians, Hungarians, Czechs, Polish, and Japanese in a hundred years. The rest of the world will not have their traditional identities.

It's yet to be seen who comes out on top in the "diverse" rest of the world. I would assume the Middle Easterners for the most part, since they are largely being given a green light at this point. They don't even have to lift a scimitar.

I would pick Russia for being most "defined culture" in the future. They tend to not put up with bull**** from other countries and they insist that anyone coming in to their country become integrated into Russian society and language. Yes, they wasted nearly a hundred years of their history with a lame experiment that failed, but they seem to be getting slowly back on track. Sadly, in some ways, their populace is freer than ours is.

Harms way? But liberals have convinced us Putin and Trump are allies.

By not opening it's doors to the Middle East? How is that harming the Polish people? It may save a few rapes, if that's bad. Other than that, I can't really think of anything. Fanatics not kneeling in the town squares, caterwauling? I guess that could be harmful.

Just about every word of this is rank ignorance. Did you base this on ANYTHING you’ve read or did you just rely on your intuition to cobble together this opinion? Russia is an authoritarian society -has been for centuries. Was before communism- is after communism.

I have read that Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Japan, and Russia (among a few others) do not allow mass immigration from the Middle East or anywhere else, for that matter. In Poland's case, I have read that there has been no terrorist activity related to the middle east, no muslim street rapes, and no cultural strife. It is posited that this is mainly due to their mono-culture and insistence that anyone that IS allowed into the country must learn the language and integrate into the society. I've also read that this is mostly the case in Russia (at least of the last 20 years or so).

Personally, I don't see that as a bad thing. It doesn't mean that I've suddenly gone Russian or anything. Or suddenly booked a flight to Poland. It simply means that they are doing that right and we are not. They are not doing EVERYTHING right and I never said they were. I said they were doing THAT right, especially in the case of Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. They value their culture and ethnic citizens of their respective countries, we do not. It's that simple. Quit putting words in my mouth. Just because I said they got that right it doesn't mean I said they were the greatest thing since sliced bread.

And I'd tell you where you can cram your "white" comment, but I'd get an infraction just as you should for the insinuation.

People in hell want ice water...they ain’t getting that either.

The United States has no national interests in Poland. There’s no good reason to extend a mutual defense pact with them, and I don’t give a damn that they’re in NATO. Poland is NOTHING to us, and it’s not a nation worth protecting. They live in a bad neighborhood, but that’s their problem. A million Poles aren’t worth the life of one American soldier.

We should be leaving Europe, not expanding across Europe.
