Friends, foes mark WWII’s beginning in Poland

Yeah I know. That's why I said it was more stupid than evil. Essentially, Poles felt they were in the right, but no matter if they were, you just don't do shit like this.

Also, I don't remember the facts but I think Czechs grabbed it when Poland looked like it was on the losing side - before the battle of Warsaw it looked like Poland will get overrun by the Soviets.

I think you are right and the Czechs lucked out the sneaky devils.

Oh, incidentally, President Kaczynski has apologized during his speech for Poland grabbing a part of Czechoslovakia in 1938 (first time ever from a Polish leader) and Czechs apparently now love us. 

It was about time.  That was a despicable act and something needed to be said.

Well it was mostly stupid. It would be more despicable if the Czechs themselves didn't grab it from PolandRussia when Poland was busy fighting the Soviets in 1920.

Fixed it for you.

This makes absolutely no sense

Welcome to the World of Raz.

Also, Mrs. Merkel's speech was the best. No half truths, no excuses. It made Putin look like a lying KGB aparatchik (doh!).

It belonged to Russia.  If the Poles had stayed loyal to Russia they wouldn't have nearly so much bloodshed.

Well she is not trying to rehabilitate Hitler.

No it didn't. Before WW1, it belonged to Austira

No it didn't. Before WW1, it belonged to Austira

Let's face it though.  If the treacherous Czechs had stayed loyal to Austria none of this would have happened either.

And this is key.

BTW:  I would like to note that the Poles didn't have any dreadnought battleships, and were thus subjugated and enslaved repeatedly.  Perhaps if the Poles had spent less time in the 30s on anti-armour cavalry techniques and more on dreadnought construction, they might have been slaves throughout the entire 20th century.
