Haha going to war in Afghanistan against the Taliban who were using leftover obsolete weapons! I would love to see the French and Italians going to war against Russia.
Like I said, Europe can not afford to lose energy supplies from Russia. Europe is still mired in a recession. A war with Russia will be disastrous.
Next thing is to move them to Kaliningrad and have one of those “referendums”
Red Poppies on Monte Cassino
D’you see those ruins on the hill top?
There your foe hides like a rat!
You must, you must, you must
Grab his neck and cast him from the clouds!
And they went, heedless of danger
And they went, to kill and avenge
And they went stubborn as ever,
As always - for honour - to fight.
Refrain:
Red poppies on Monte Cassino
Instead of dew, drank Polish blood.
As the soldier crushed them in falling,
For the anger was more potent than death.
Years will pass and ages will roll,
But traces of bygone days will stay,
And the poppies on Monte Cassino
Will be redder having quaffed Polish blood.
They charged through fire like madmen,
Countless were hit and fell,
Like the cavalry at Samosierra,
Like the men at Rokitno years ago.
They attacked with fury and fire,
And they got there. They climbed to the top,
And their white and scarlet standard
They placed on the ruins ‘midst clouds.
Refrain:
Red Poppies on Monte Cassino.......
D’you see this row of white crosses?
Polish soldiers did honour there wed.
The further you go, the higher,
The more of such crosses you’ll meet.
This soil was won for Poland,
Though Poland is far away,
For Freedom is measured in crosses
When history from justice does stray.
Refrain:
Red poppies on Monte Cassino
Instead of dew, drank Polish blood.
As the soldier crushed them in falling,
For the anger was more potent than death.
Years will pass and ages will roll,
But traces of bygone days will stay,
And the poppies on Monte Cassino
Will be redder having quaffed Polish blood.
Believe it or not I had heard of this bear! Apparently he was quite fond of drinking beer I cannot imagine from whom he learned that habit.
Long live Poland!
