Hi Rob, i'm polish. Answering your question form 13:18. From our perspective, safety of your independence and self-determination does not have a price. History has thought us that. Most of Europe doesn't need a big active military, so it's stupid to pump money in it. We do, we have Russia for a neigbour. Most of the west can't understand what that means, and just look at Ukraine. When or if Russia starts something in the future, we want to be ready. Sure, we're in NATO but if shit hits the fan we will have to rely on our selfs until any help will come from our allies. And that is another issue. We were left behind at the start of WW2, and sold for peace at the end of it. Those who do not lern form history, are bound to repeat it.

[@marekrondo9701]

Ukraina oddała atom za gwarancję nienaruszalności granic. Kilka państw się pod tym podpisało... i co? Co te państwa robią? Jedno napadło, kilka zaczęło pomagać, ale mniej niż Polska, która się pod niczym nie podpisała. A może NATO pomoże nam jakąś małą ilością broni i amunicji po utracie Białegostoku, Lublina, Zamościa, Rzeszowa? Z WB i Francją już kiedyś byliśmy dogadani. A może nie byliśmy? Może teraz też nie jesteśmy? Może lepiej nie dać wejść Moskalom do naszych miast, zamiast po 5 latach wojny te miasta w ruinie odbijać przy stratach 5 do 1?

Agree with you there 100%. As a pole living in poland, I do support the military spend.

It is cheaper to protect the borders with army and navy than to let the enemies in. The losses during the so-called Swedish Deluge in the XVII century or during the Second World War were much higher than the possible expenditures for army and navy. I agree that buying military equipment abroad is a cost, not an investment. But it is like expensive insurance.

[@CMDRSloma]

Rob, the military build-up is also helping the economy, it's tech acquisition to build some of the equipment in the country, this generates job, revenue and might allow developing better tech because you have home-grown industry. And defence sector jobs are well paid jobs too. There is an equilibrium and as long as don't spend too much on the defence at a cost of other sectors this isn't too bad. Having said that Poland does not have a choice, we know very well our history and the eastern neighbour is still having genocidal, imperialistic ambitions. Living in the UK I agree Brexit was the most stupid decision that was made. EU maybe is not ideal or perfect, but definitely it helps to be together because we can help each other.

Rob, you can also check PGZ - the biggest military company in Poland, they produce a lot of military equipment domestically, so a lot of polish workers and engineers are nedded.

I remember those unfinished buildings. Sometimes building materials (wiring, huge concrete plates, etc...) were left on site, degrading over time. Underground corridors formed by huge concrete slabs half-buried in the ground, a pile of bricks several meters high, a three-story abandoned building in a raw state without walls, where in the basement you could find condoms, needles and bags of glue... all this served as a playground for us (children). The change wasn't easy but we're getting there. A good movie showing those changes and post communist Poland is "Pieniądze to nie wszystko" ("Money isn't everything"). Funny comedy, I highly recommend it.

The question was about the impact army development had on economic growth... It does, in at least 3 aspects: 1. In addition to purchases from South Korea, there will also be a transfer of technology, and factories will be built in Poland. 2. Polish companies also have better conditions for development. We produce equipment that is purchased by other countries, such as Warmate drones. 3. In terms of politics - it is no secret that the size of the army affects the position in the international arena (it is not about embarrassment, but rather about the role of a protector; on whose help do the Baltic countries count first in the event of a war?). It is easier, for example, to push forward ideas that are beneficial to us economically and in relations with other countries.

[@Janusz_Bankowski]

Rob, you know we all like you a lot but we also realize that your point of view was built in a completely different country. You have already discovered and learned a lot about Poland - and all of us here respect you a lot for that. However, there are many things you won't understand - that's natural. You would have to be born here. You see things as they are presented in your country. We see them differently. You say that we have regrets about our history. We probably do. But it's history. It's a closed topic. We focus on today and the future. So our history is one thing - and current life in the EU another. You say Brexit was bad because things are currently going badly in the UK. I would disagree with that. Britain's problems started decades before Brexit. After leaving the EU, they are simply visible now. Again - you see things as Western countries see them. What do you see as bad for the UK? That many white workers, professionals returned to their countries. You say that English farmers have problems. Are they? And do you remember the protests of EU farmers in France, Germany? And tons of manure on the streets? Does the UK now have to adapt its laws and economy to the requirements of the EU “Green Deal”? Can the UK still employ white workers? Yes. And the fact that it instead pulls in illegal immigrants is your government's decisions. No one is forcing you to do so. For that Poland had to adopt the immigration pact. Because we have no way out. We are in the EU. You say we should be happy that the EU is spending money to develop the country. OK. But we also pay contributions. So after 20 years the balance is €160 billion. It's as if every Pole spent €200 every year on his own, for the development of the country. Suddenly it's not such a huge amount anymore, is it? For that we have to spend money on EU restrictions and requirements. Which costs us ... surprise - exactly as much as we got from the EU :). Going forward - by 2050 we are supposed to meet the requirements of the Green Deal. The costs for Poland were counted by the French. 10 trillion PLN. That's 15x more than Poland got money from the EU for 20 years! In the video you saw the increase in military power. Wow... The West praises and praises. Why? After all, it's wasted money - as you yourself pointed out. So why is the West praising it? Because if Putin goes crazy, the Poles will be the East's cannon meat. Simple. It's all business, Rob. To you it seems so cool - nations helping each other, etc. Nothing of the sort. Over national corporations and business cooperate with governments. So governments are - business. Poland joining the EU was not an act of goodwill and kindness. It was business. It was about aging populations and lack of workers. And what is the most valuable thing a country can acquire? A white worker. Not a worker from Africa or Asia. It's already known. And where were the white workers and white consumers? In Central Europe. How many workers migrated to the UK during that time? You yourself said it's bad that they are leaving now. You were raised in a Western value system - it's not your fault. It's great that you are starting to see things as they really are. Perhaps your interest in Poland helps you a bit in this. In any case, the EU is moving towards socialism and a federal state. Like the Russian Federation. Any Russian will tell you that Moscow and St. Petersburg are not Russia. And the same thing is happening in the EU. The federal state is supposed to serve the strongest and richest - and the rest are supposed to do their jobs. Poland is supposed to be a reservoir of cheap labor, is supposed to buy products from France, Germany and not have its own, and is supposed to militarily guard the eastern border. You say - free economic movement. Yes. But only one way. Why are there no Polish companies in Germany or France? Because they won't break through. The quiet nationalism of these countries will not allow it. Why are Poles coming back? Because they don't advance higher than they are allowed to. Rob, I have dozens of friends who have worked or are working in the EU. They all have the same problem. They are bouncing off the “glass ceiling.” So don't regret Brexit. Perhaps the UK will be better off than you think. And don't fall into the trap of freedom, democracy, mutual aid. It's all business controlled by governments and corporations.

It is better to be a capitalist and stay in the pockets of another country than to be a communist and a slave. Capitalist = also be a slave, but in politics, not in personal matters.

[@whitewidmo4606]

About military build up - others provided great points, but one is very important and actually answers your question. If you have strong military in todays world, big companies will feel safer investing more, bc their money will be protected. So for us, being as a front state of NATO, investing in military can be economically efficient. Why would Microsoft, Google etc. invest in a country, that could be invaded by Russia in 10 years? Well, knowing that the country is serious about defending, it is more logical to invest long term. Thats also the reason why we must develop the strongest ground forces in EU.

[@smerfdzikus2334]

Yes. Spending money on military is more like investment into the future rather than unecessary expense.

Spending money on military is not helping an economy. Some people say that, but it is a misunderstanding of how economy works. Spending money on military is a price you pay for a safety. An exception is when you want to use military to get cotrol over another country and drain it (like for example former collonial empires)

1. Spending money on the army, and remember that our neighbor Ukraine is fighting, is not a waste of money. Poland allocated a lot of military equipment to Ukraine. If Ukrainians like this equipment, they buy equipment from Polish companies with funding from the US. Polish companies have funds to improve equipment. Improved military equipment is becoming a competitor in the global military market. This year. a country that has the most modern weapons in the world - USA. It ordered a Polish manufacturer of Lightning missiles PIORUN. the military industry is nothing else than highly technically advanced electronics: computer science: chemistry and mechanics. sold for a lot of money. 2. Poland will not leave the EU. even if it were to lose and not receive funds allocated for Polish development, it needs access to the European market. it's like we receive PLN 2 million a day in EU funding and we lose PLN 1 million a day for Bełchatów and - PLN 1 million a day for law and order.

Rob. We are spending money on the military, because we have enemies close to our borders. We have even many proverbs for that state. F.e. "Mądry Polak po szkodzie" - a wise Pole after the damage, "Nie skleisz rozbitego jajka" - you can't glue a broken egg together. In history, we have already been Europe's buffer twice. Likely, a large part of Europe could already have found itself under the thumb of communism in 1920. We do not want a repeat, so we must have a strong army even if it does not favor the state budget. But in this topic you are slightly wrong because currently we have our own arms industry at a high level and we also sell our weapons. Even to South Korea. That's a fact. F.e. and that's not all - During the KADEX 2024 trade fair (Korea Army International Defense Industry Exhibition), the Polish company Grupa WB signed an agreement with the South Korean Defense Procurement Program Administration (DAPA) for the delivery of approximately 200 Warmate-3 drones in combat and training versions.

[@piotrnotecki6196]

Someone here has already told you that we don't need weapons to conquer other countries. We don't want to fall under Russian rule again. At the beginning of the 18th century, we were dependent on Russia in various ways. Small exceptions are 1918-1939 and the years after 1989. We not only value our independence, we actually love it. Whenever we were free from Russian influence, we developed, and when they ruled here, they used all our potential to create their power. To end the political thread, I will tell you about Putin's serious mistake. By attacking Ukraine, he accelerated the completion of the creation of the modern Ukrainian nation. And the second one is that it accelerated the Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation. It is true that this process has been going on for 30 years, but I think it would take another generation and this process may be over. Polish-Ukrainian history is complicated and there were many disputes and wars between us, but both sides were aware that we were doomed to cooperate. This process is ending in my lifetime, which makes me happy, but for Imperial Russia it is not good news. For the imperial and democratic Russia (if such a Russia is ever created), this has no negative significance. And finally, I will tell you what is worth seeing in Poland, apart from the places you mentioned, next to Toruń, Bydgoszcz, in the west of Poland, Szczecin, a city that has an unusual urban layout compared to other Polish cities, but thanks to this it is a very green city. Szczecin has always been out of the way, but now it benefits from its proximity to Germany and is developing thanks to its location. In the east of Poland, I recommend Przemyśl, Rzeszów, Krosno and the Bieszczady Mountains. When you are in Lublin, there are many interesting towns there. Beautiful Renaissance Zamość, picturesque little Kazimierz Dolny, Nałęczów and many others. Białystok, in the north-east, is interesting because there are not many cities, but there is beautiful nature. There are four National Parks in the vicinity of Białystok, including the most important and oldest one, the Białowieża National Park. The last natural forest in Europe. And the north of Poland, Warmia and Mazury, the land of lakes. I wish you successful trips to Poland. I promise that now I will listen to you more carefully and I will not make such mistakes as I did when commenting on your trip to Poznań.

I hate simplyfying history. It is not so simple to take late historyPoland and talk about story of success. Don't get me wrong, we achieved much, I am proud of it, but... we wouldn't achieve it without our experience, sometimes hurtful, things that made us more resistance for any influence. There is a saying: Poles will help each other like no one in hard times, but will destroy each other when there's peace. We conquered our neighbours in the past, than they conquered us, and now we are a bit paranoid about our neighbours espaciely Russia. Yeah they threat for all of us, not only Poles, for all Europeans.

It is governed by bureaucrats and EP is only facade having limited power over EC. The whole story of Poland being undemocratic is EU pressing Poland to change government to more western friendly. KLD (first Tusk party) was established by German funds to "enrich" Polish politic scene like SLD was established from Russian funds at the begging of 90's.

This film did not mention that in 1989 the Polish economy was in a much worse situation than the Hungarian, Czechoslovak and East German economies. We were a little poorer than Ukrainians and Belarusians then. And then everything took off and Poland started to develop incredibly quickly. We are not the only ones who need the EU and NATO. If Ukraine were in the EU and NATO, there would be no war there now. When it comes to online hate against Tusk, it resembles Russian trolling. Tusk makes mistakes, like every politician, Tusk is not perfect, like every person, but the change of power brought benefits to Poland. We have returned to Europe politically, mentally and culturally. And we can also give something to Europe, because we have our own perception of some issues and slightly different experiences. Investments in the army are rational, taking into account what Russia is doing and the direction the world is heading. To sum up: the Third Polish Republic (Commonwealth of Poland) is the best Polish state that has ever existed.

Hey Rob . In response to your doubts regarding Poland's large expenditure on armaments, I answer: Poles realize that no one will defend them. Before World War II we had a pact with the UK and France. Have you seen the columns rushing to help Poland being torn apart from the east and west? Do you know what Germany offered to Ukraine as aid in the first days of the war? Helmets. Can you imagine that young boys from Manchester, Lutton and other cities would get on barges and sail to die for Poland? Will the German Chancellor send boys from Munich to sit in trenches on the Vistula line, at risk of a nuclear attack? You have to count on yourself because, unfortunately, the western Europe always fight until the last Polish soldier, my friend.

Germans will never let that happen, no chance. They are doing everything in their power to make Poland their colony yet again. They had tried countless times in the past (ever since Poland came into being in X century). They slightly changed the tactic last 30-40 yrs or so but overall goal remains exactly the same. We actually already are a german colony 🤷🏻‍♂️

14:08 You are right. The economic situation in Poland is not as good as it seems, and military spending is heavy burden. Communist Poland had the second largest military potential in the Warsaw Pact after the USSR.This generated a huge burden, but ensured the development of local industry. This potential has been largely eliminated, as has all of Poland's heavy industry. Currently, most military purchases are made in the United States to fuel its arms industry. The fact is that today Poland is a vassal state of the US, dependent on its whims.
