one nearly shot me to death following an argument about Polish borders
Three points:
1. Only a moron would argue with a Russian about Polish borders or anything else.
2. "Nearly" is a lie and another Polish metaphor. You, Poles, like your metaphors that add nothing but hide reality.
3. I never said there were no Soviet troops in Poland there. I said I never saw one because they were keeping a low profile and didn't act as typical occupational forces. Their enemy was the US, not the Poles - as long as they behaved.
The difference between you and a genius like me is that instead of having a pis*sing thing with that Russian, I would thank him for liberating Poland and especially Auschwitz. Later, I would ask him about his family and to show me the pictures he surely had with him. I would invite him to have dinner with me. Here is why...
During the German occupation, German officers would be stationed with Poles if they had spare rooms. My grandma in Radom got a Wehrmacht captain as a tenant. He was treated with respect and life was normal. Then, one day, my mother found out that my babysitter and I were in a Hamburg camp where Germans took us after the Warsaw Uprising collapsed. The short of it is that the German captain arranged the travel papers for her to bring me back to Poland. Which she did.
All of this would not be possible if that captain was told by anyone in my family that he and his buddies were "barbarians" and baby killers. That would be moronic - like anything with only the downside. In that sense, you and your kind of brainless "patriots" would be my real enemy and worse than the Germans that helped her get my ass out of there.
