Storks are not only a symbol of #Ukraine but also an important part of our #ecosystem. However, their nests located on power #poles can pose a danger both to the birds and to the #power_system. #UkrainianView

I'll close up the thread with some links, though these are just what pop up when one searches for “bell telephone pole test site chester nj”.

tl;dr it was in use from 1928 to the 1980s, and in an absolutely massive self-own, was shuttered on account of being too successful: they ended up with fantastic poles and no longer need to do any more testing!

You might reply that a budget dies not equal actual spending, however in a democracy, such huge building projects take time.

IMO, the delay is chiefly to to the fact that the "Moscow friendly" #Polish version of the #GOP, the "Law and Jusice Party", was in power until the brave #Poles voted them out of office in December,...

Ah, now I understand.

I think you're not doing the #Poles justice, Kevin.

They have seen the signs in contrast to most European and GQP party members as well:

Among #NATO member states, #Poland is now outspending all others, even the #US, measured fairly, as a share of GDP. 1) (see screenshot)

What is more, they're the only member state to have adjusted that target to 4.7% of GDP in...

Putin's IBS

⚡#Putin said the #Poles forced #Hitler to attack them in 1939.

#Hitler just wanted to "realize his plans," and #Poland was "uncooperative" and "forced" #Hitler to attack and start World War II, #Putin said.

So, 1939, late August.
#Hitler: #Poland, we want to annexe you, agree!
#Poland: We don't agree. We are a sovereign state and will remain so.
#Hitler: You force me to conquer you by force. I declare war against you. God knows it's your fault!

#Polish politicians claim that "#Russia is turning tractor factories into tank factories" scenarios taken from WW2 novels.
Such statements not only show the level of ridiculousness of Polish politicians like #Sikorski, but also the level of stupidity of the Polish citizens who voted for them.

Don't forget that its the #Poles "Russophobia" that prevented the Soviets from crushing #Nazis before they built up militarily, as the #USSR demanded from #UK and #France, but the Poles refused passage

#Orban is 'poison' for the #EU... a real disgrace
as #Erdogan is
Hungary and #Turkey under Erdogan and Orban
should not be part of the EU.
Unfortunately, In a desire to 'broaden the alliance'
the European Community lowered the standards...
In my opinion it was a mistake
people as Orban and Erdogan have NO PLACE in the EU
However
the #Poles have recently demonstrated that they have a Democratic and European heart
that's a good sign.

Prof Rzeszutek mentions that globally, PTSD is recorded on average in about 5-10 per cent of the population, in Central Europe in 1-4 per cent, in the USA in 4-8 per cent and in Africa in more than 10 per cent.

The new study included a representative group of Poles (almost 1 600 people). It turned out that the percentage of people with PTSD in Poland is surprisingly high: it amounts to as much as 19 per cent (it is mentioned in a publication in PLOS One) "And this means that Poland is - as far as we know - the most traumatised country in the world". - assesses Prof. Rzeszutek.
