Poor Polandball...

Well, he can be friends with Peruball, if Polandball can stand ugly people

>>60597

I'm pretty sure Poland is far more integrated into the EU than the UK is.

>>60618
lol...Nepal

>>60664
Makes no sense. Poland is one of America's biggest supporters.

>>60681
You mean their government is. Just like their communist government was one of the USSRs biggest supporters.

>>60618
whats that that scares them, Lithuania?

>>60693

Except being America's supporter puts you on the high road for improvement.

See: every nation in the developed world.

>>60701

>>60707
Like Ukraine and Georgia and the Baltics amirite?

>>60719
u r rite

>>60719
The Baltics are doing well and will adopt the Euro soon. They aren't in the same group as Ukraine and Georgia anymore. Those two nations are on track to receiving NATO membership if those governments can agree on it.

>>60710
what? I dont recognize the banner

>>60707
Just like the Shah of Iran!

I gotta stop doing this.

Ahem.

Poland's success or failure is not due entirely to American economics- it could become a subsidiary resource state organizing its entire economy around exporting a single good for markets in the 1st world, which would be bad.

Fortunately, I think Poland is developed enough that, with proper ties, education, and infrastructure, they could produce a healthy economy to (if not rival) be considered first world. As it is, it's pretty darn robust.

All they need is to keep the labor movement strong so that the gap between rich and poor doesn't make for a palace economy.

>>60752
>The Baltics are doing well and will adopt the Euro soon.
Are you fucking kidding me? The Baltics are on the verge of economic collapse because of all the fake prosperity they've made based on accumulated debt over the past few years.

>They aren't in the same group as Ukraine and Georgia anymore. Those two nations are on track to receiving NATO membership if those governments can agree on it.

Not a chance in hell. Ukraine just booted out its pro-western leader in elections two weeks ago (he got 6% as the incumbent, LOL), and Georgia fucked its chances with the 2008 war.

>>60768
Nepal (only country without a rectangular flag)

>>60768
it's Nepal.

>>60774

Arabs are just retarded, Polacks are smart enough to understand how spend money on building an infrastructure.

>>60842
In Ukraine, you can thank the Russian-tied population for that in the Easternmost areas and in the Crimea.

Sometimes I think Ukraine should just cut those areas loose and give them to Russia so it can get on track with becoming a western nation.

>>60894
I think you mean Persians.

And coincidentally enough, people that surrender their national interests for the sake of foreign powers and profit often don't tend to pay attention to anything else than feeding their own bloated egos and unquenchable desires.

I don't THINK that will happen to Poland. Emphasis on think. I don't know much about recent Polish politics, just some sketchy clues about the solidarity party and the economic shitstorm they got slapped with when too many cooks got in the kitchen.

>>60923
If Ukraine got rid of its pro-Russia and moderate regions it would be left with nothing but the redneck western farmlands, which is the only place where any true pro-western sentiment comes from. That said, I agree with you. Both Russia and Ukraine would be better off if Ukraine were simply annexed by Russia. Ukraine cannot function independently, as we've seen over the past20 years, and more specifically, the past 5 years when it started to bite the hand that feeds it.

>>60960
gtfo commie, the soviet union will not rise again

>>60960
Well, give it another election or two. Hopefully by then America will have bigger fish to fry than meddle in the Ukraine (Britain might be another story), and the elections will determine what the Hell Ukraine's people want.

Though I guarantee one thing, IF Russia regained Ukraine, it will have to be on more favorable terms for the Ukrainians than before.

>>60975
Didn't say anything about the Soviet Union. More like a neo-Russian empire, which comprises only of the three Eastern-Slav lands and maybe Kazakhstan.

>>60995
America's little experiment in the former Soviet Union is over, and it ended in spectacular failure, save for the Baltics.

The day Ukraine becomes pro-western is the day Russia becomes pro-western.

>>60975

By the way, what happened to communism? Are there still lands that practise it?

>>61016
I'm not saying Ukraine is Pro-Western, I'm saying Ukraine might not be Pro-Russian.

I really hate that term, Western (in the political sense, High Noon one of the best movies of all time etcetera), Western values, Western politics. It insinuates somehow that people not being shitty to each other and liking technology was a unique idea coming from Britain that's spread out to the world.

Not very related, I realize, but I just had to say.

Anyway, American politics will unfortunately determine whether or not America is done over there, not logic, reason, or resources. If another Republican comes into power (Which will happen) and the same set of advisors wishes to play out the Cold War for eternity (Might happen), then you will see the USA amp up the propaganda if the Ukraine were to make any gestures outside of Europe.

Then again, not familiar with region history and fascinated by this but must go, work calls. May peace and alcohol be plentiful.

>>61018
Communism (the definition sketched out by Marx et all) never existed.

>>61018
cuba still practices communism that is very reminiscent of soviet communism although significantly evolved

>>60999
The ties established by the former USSR are largely still in place in all but name.

Pic related.

>>61143
except that the central government of the soviet union in moscow no longer exists which is a pretty fucking huge difference beyond just the political difference from communism

>>61018
Remaining single-party Communist states

>>61077
>I'm not saying Ukraine is Pro-Western, I'm saying Ukraine might not be Pro-Russian.

Then you'd be wrong.

>Anyway, American politics will unfortunately determine whether or not America is done over there, not logic, reason, or resources.

The only reason they were initially successful in the first place is because they were able to play off the whole "democracy and freedom" bullshit that was still relatively new to the former communist region. This simply won't work a second time. Ukraine is fed up with America and western imperialism as a whole. They had 5 long, terrible years of American influenced "freedom".

>>61169
Russia has so much influence and clout in the region that it almost completely makes up for no longer having the USSR gov't.

>>60894
>Polacks are smart enough to understand how spend money on building an infrastructure.
Fuck no. I live here, trust me. Infrastructure's fucked.
As for being third world, yeah. As long as you're in a big city it looks just fine, very firstwordly. Then you go to a village and you can still see farmers living in shitty wooden houses getting their water from a well and playing Farmville: The Real Thing with horses.

>>61203
china is communist in name only, their economic system resembles soviet communism no more than it resembles marxism, the only thing communist is the violent police state

whats with all of the fucking electrode threads?=

>>61131
socialism=/=communism

>>61229
China is still dominated 100% by the Communist party. it's even written in the Constitiution more or less that the Communist party is the only official party of the state.

They won't lose the Communist moniker until they allow independent parties to freely participate.
