Britain on the sidelines?  No. Britain being a spiteful, naggy hater is more like it.

[rahulpower]

We're not THAT stupid. It's our dumb politicians.

Polak, Węgier - dwa bratanki, i do szabli, i do szklanki :)

Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát, együtt harcol s issza borát :)

Pole and Hungarian - two good friends, joint fight and drinking are their ends :)

[mszmarcin]

Belarus is a country with the Polish fraternal like Hungary. Unfortunately he European Union tries to absorb wykorzytac Poland Belarus in their evil ranks. For Belarus it does not like Polish. Georgia also like Poland and Hungary. And he loves Poland, Hungary, Georgia and Belarus.

[Milek95]

@mszmarcin Belarusian government is into Russia. Belarusian people are into Poland.

Also, nice vid, @EconomistMagazine ! ;)

I'm not sure about Polish-German friendship, though.

[MEEHOWtv]

@mszmarcin Zajebisty inglisz. Wszystko rozumiem.

[mszmarcin]

@MEEHOWtv rozumiesz bo to jest polglisz XD

[wuj3kdar0]

I visit Hungary each year and I love them ;) their wine as well :P

[SuperMzen]

Pretty nice :) But i suggest that when you show relationship between Poland and Lithuania and their Commonwealth... you should put an emoticon of Lithuania on the Belarusian land... Official languages in Commonwealth were Polish and Ruski (not Lithuanian Baltic language) so Belarusians are true descendants of that past Lithuania, not present Lithuanians who were in the past conquered Baltic minority...

[SuperMzen]

quite complicated but the thing is quite similar to Eastern Prussia topic: True "Prussians" was the Baltic nation, using Baltic language as well as Lithuanian, Latvian or other minor nations, who WASN'T connected by nationality with Germans at all... until XIII century...after agressive expansion of Teutonic Order (what was in majority consist of Germans) Prussian became German taking after the language, culture etc...

[SuperMzen]

so Western Germans after uniting started to think about themselves as Prussians (same thing about present Lithuanians and past Lithuanians) ...from Poland with Love :D european neighbours :P

[bladyGKS]

You could remember about great Poland: en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Battle_of_Warsaw_%281­920%29

en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Biuro_Szyfr%C3%B3w

en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Bitwa_pod_Grunwaldem

en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Powstanie_warszawskie

en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Polish_Air_Force (1939-1945)

Si Deus nobiscum, quis contra nos?

[wafelraz]

I respect german people and their great culture, but if I am Pole and I know something about geopolitics I must be always awake and aware of their goverment politics, as well as russian politics

[michauek11]

battle and bottle ;)

[kombajndosalatek]

[TomaszWadas]

[NastyChuck]

First time that I have not been aggravated by someone using emoticons. A pretty clever way of describing European relations.

[Krazymann234]

That's not exactly how things are in Europe

[NaMaRaVi]

Well, that sure clears up some things. Now I kinda wanna see a similar video with America or Africa <3

[SisiaVogel]

Hetalia, anyone? XD

[moviebakerperson]

i love these. you should do some on the world as well.

[Adeon55]

[OireachtasRetortTV]

Virtuous  Northern Europeans lol

[SuperTigerNo1]

@OireachtasRetortTV I want to eat you lol! not that vicious you guess?

[mmathioudakis]

2 justin bieber fans didn't like this video

:)

[boonik13]

@mmathioudakis Oh, not that expired joke again!

[mmathioudakis]

@boonik13 lol

[formerutuber]

this is so silly.....

[kombajndosalatek]

wow..

so... untrue regarding Poland's relations with Germany and Russia.

[MaximusProteus]

@kombajndosalatek And what do you expect if they rely on the official declarations of the puppet goverment? Sure that Germany and Russia are happy to have such "relations" with Poland, meaning they can do whatever busyness over our heads or take advantage of our weaknes.... Political analisis for kids.

The only diagnosis here regarding Poland i find trustworthy is the relation with Hungary, unofficial of course becouse our govs don`t care at all.

[daPawlak]

@MaximusProteus Oh, the part about Polish-Litheunian relations are correct as well, but we wouldn't like to remember that, now would we? As for Germany and Russia it does picture well what our gov is oficialy doing. It's a emoticon diplomacy for crying out loud. Emoticon, as you correctly stated, = for kids. Diplomacy = gov point of view.

[Jedrusek]

@kombajndosalatek

tak, ale na zewnątrz być może inaczej jest to odczytywane niż przez myslących ludzi w Polsce.

[hueypham04]

for a minute there i thought i had stumbled onto a sesame street vid 

[gfks11]

@AugustusAurelianus1

Thanks very much for sending... really very interesting and good understandable..!!

Hugs and Kiss:)

[AugustusAurelianus1]

@ECCETHOR - Outstanding report! great video! thanks for sending it

[giacccccomo]

@scoobyrds yeah, I mean they talk more about Lithuania than about Italy, France and Spain put together, it's too focused on eastern Europe, I liked it though

[scoobyrds]

@giacccccomo Who knows? They might make another video about west Europe.

[giacccccomo]

and italy?

[scoobyrds]

@giacccccomo They wre at the beginning with Greece and Spain and Portugal (as opposed to North Europe).

[fabers185]

:)

[zahaj]

really good vid ;)

[Coquipirate]

I feel kind of British myself.

[dave19941000]

Britain on the sidelines, that's how they built their empire, and how they stay strong.

[redarrowhead2]

@dave19941000 if you call conquering half the world and then colonizing with excess population as "on the side lines" then sure

[popkiev]

@dave19941000

that's how WWII started, thank you very much.

[dudemaster9]

AWSOME!
