President of Ohio State University Gordon Gee makes racist slur against Poland

Poland was NEVER conquered by just ONE nation

I count wins against the UPA, the AK, Czechoslovakia and Hungary,

He wouldn't have apologised if he had any knowledge about the state of the army.

The Polish army beat your much larger Red Russian army back to Moscow 90 years ago. Even while Poland was just catching its breath from the destruction Russia and Germany inflicted on it from 1795-1917.

How many times has Poland been invaded by large COWARD nations that DID NOT NEED each other to invade Poland??? Answer: ZERO

Considering the modest size of Poland, relatively speaking the Polish army has not been too bad.

Considering much larger aggressor nations like Germany and Russia always NEEDED each other to take over Poland, I think that says something about the capability of the Polish Army.

When the all powerful HUGE nation of Russia arrogantly invaded Poland by itself without the help of Germany in 1920, it was beaten back to Moscow.

Poland was NEVER conquered by just ONE nation.

Even if that nation was much larger then Poland. Germany and Russia ALWAYS NEEDED each other to invade Poland. That says a lot about the Polish army but of course I don’t expect a Poland-hater like you to acknowledge that.

why did the USA beg everyone in sight during the 2nd Gulf War to help?

The Soviet Union did a pretty useful job from 1944 onwards.

How can you say that, when Poland has only been attacked twice in 100 years? Hardly enough data.

why did the USA beg everyone in sight during the 2nd Gulf War to help?

if it were not for Britain, YOUR first language would be German too.

Bzibzioh:There is nothing exceptional in the state of Polish army.

Nah, nothing, just a top military prosecutor shooting himself in the cheek for attention. Nothing "exceptional" about that.

And if Britain hadn't stood up for its commitments to Poland, and Generalplan Ost existed, today there'd be no Poland and no Poles.

And that was the only time you had to fight in living memory. You have no room to feel smug.

If not for the material help from the US you'd be speaking German yourself.

And that was the only time you had to fight in living memory.

Britain didn't. Get over it. Your attempt to rewrite the history is futile no matter how many times you'd repeat this particular lie.

Ohh look whos back for the fourth day in a row.

Britain's army has fought in four continents including the America's since the 80s.

Probably the most historically inaccurate thing that you've said since your famous comment about most members of the Polish army in the west after WWII being shipped to Canada as slave labour.

Do feel very free to go into detail about all the ways in which Britain failed to live up to her 1939 treaty obligations to Poland.

It's still accurate. Whether you like it or not

You weren't defending your own tiny island while fighting "the America's since the 80s".

Poland is one of the largest countries in Europe, all it's known for is getting battered by anyone who has bothered to have a go. Shameful and that's why its army is the laughing stock of American jokes.

What's size got to do with it?

Do come back the next time you want stupidity pointed out.

Shameful and that's why its army is the laughing stock of American jokes.

Not strictly speaking true: they managed to beat Lithuania (although after the ceasefire had been signed) and then had their way with Czechoslovakia a mere two decades later (albeit with the help of the Nazis) and then again three decades later (albeit with the help of the Soviets).

Fair enough. Other than the weird Lithuanian incident they were cannon fodder for bigger players

Yeah, lets completely ignore the only country who defeated Soviet Union.

a) That was done with the help of Poland's Ukrainian allies,

b) Think the Soviet Union won the Cold War do you?

Barely helpful. It was still clear Poland's win.

The thread is about Gordon Gee and a remark he made.

Could the actions of the Polish army in threatening to shoot its own allies have prompted Gees comment?

OK, minimise the role which your allies played: that will no doubt help to lessen the guilt which you should feel about how the Polish army locked its allies up in internment camps

Except they didn't.

Yeah, lets completely ignore the only country who defeated Soviet Union. It's such inconvenient detail.

Germany would have beaten Poland into a pulp in WW2 with or without Russia.

Sorry but they did. The internment camps were at places including Łańcut, Aleksandrów Kujawski, Kalisz (Wadowice and Piotrków), Strzałkowo and Szczypiorno.
