Aah, no! If Poland, or perhaps NATO, belive they are strong enough military, and does something stupid like go into the Ukrane. Then Poland first, than perhaps the European part of NATO, are the new proxies. Poland has been the key for escalation. But I think they know to avoid this. If not,... well we all know it can go really badly!
@@larsnystrom6698 NATO doesn't have to go into Ukraine. It just has to ramp up its support. And "escalation"? Compared to what? A full scale invasion of a sovereign nation?
Nato with Russia they picked a giant more than their size hence 32 Nato countries combined are being single hadedly being humiliated in ukraine as Russia is not Iraq or Lebanon.
@@HarwardMbonxa you are very wrong. russia cant even take ukraine. it will be gone in a year if it really makes the mistake of stepping forward. I give you 2 more years before your economy collapses and you get a military coup in russia
Poland is perhaps one of the smartest NATO countries. They were the first to assist Ukrainian refugees and supply Ukraine with additional supplies. Well played Poland, well played. Much love from Australia.
I agree poland is one of the only countries to accurately identify the russian threat. Here in germany people are unsure if russia is even a threat and they want to get buddy buddy with them while russia is threatening to nuke us every month. They still do propaganda where they depict germans as evil nazis. And looking at what they're doing to "ukrainian nazis" the stuff they'd do to us given the chance is beyond cruel. Its demonic. It'd rival what the actual nazis did to the soviets and poles in WW2. It's so frustrating being seemingly the only one to see that coming. I am proud of the poles they recognize whats going on. I wish our government was more like the polish one...
@@AxesADB It's a bot no doubt. First name, last name, random number. Also I think any Pole that's capable of any sort of common sense wouldn't support this. Drive Russia into a corner enough and they'll start unleashing nukes. This channel is also just very biased. It's the worst kind of source because they pretend to give you a fair and balanced perspective when it's actually extremely one-sided with all facts that don't support their narrative conveniently left out.
@@AxesADB I do not think that is what Greg is saying at all. Poland knows what happens when they are militarily weak. That money is being spent to make sure that the past doesn't repeat itself. That said, if Russia provokes Poland, I don't think Poland is going to pull its punches.
I wish we as Poland's westerly neighbors were as serious in preparing for the future. My Polish Brothers, much admiration from a simple German (former) combat medic!
It will take us Germans several years to gain military strength again. After the end of the Soviet Union we thought there would be a considerable peace dividend and we neglected our armed forces. Our eastern neighbours warned us about ruzzia, but we were to arrogant to listen to them. Now we have a "Zeitenwende". Hope it's not to late.
people forget that to have peace you must be ready to enforce it. If you dont want to be invaded you have to make yourself nasty enough that no one in their right mind will take a bite.
Poland knows Russia will continue to be stubborn. Poland knows Russia will remain a threat even if a peace treaty were to be signed. Poland also knows the only language that Russia understands.
@@radek888 Exactly. It's not Middle Ages or 19th century anymore. Several countries have their investments in Poland, there are various multinational companies in PL. Also don't forget US military personel stationed in Poland. The West doesn't really have much choice but to not let Poland fall because otherwise, the losses will be huge, and the perspective of bordering a Russian-controlled territory with army on border and nuclear missiles targeted at Paris and Berlin would be terrifying.
I can smell more blood in the air. Poland is a true European powerhouse. Training alongside our Polish Brothers was incredible. They are true operators and have access to the best weapons in the world. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Poland. You fight Poland, and you fight the U.S. 🇺🇸🤝🇵🇱💪
For what it's worth, our family visited the Grand Canyon last summer. There were several bus loads of Polish tourists also seeing the sights. I can't imagine a better advertisement for positive US/Polish relations. The young Polish men and women were friendly, curious, handsome, and intelligent. We all wish you the best of luck in maintaining your current position and hope your efforts and our mutual support agreements help avoid future Russian aggression.
It is funny how some people like to think these countries are allies to Poland just because we share similar conservative values or cultural aspects in Eastern half of Europe. I am sorry, but Russia is red line for us. Not gonna bend over this.
Around 6 million Polish citizens perished during World War II: about one fifth of the entire pre-war population of Poland. Most were civilian victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity which Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union committed during their occupation of Poland.
Thanks. Please try to support Poland financially with this endevour. Invest in Poland, buy polish products, visit Poland for holiday, support goverment initiatives in your country that help Poland. All the best!
Im a Pole and planning to visit Netherlands for first time next year, Im curious how such a small country :) already 400 years ago become one of the richest and powerful in the world and managed to create such a vast empire.. greetings!
What "european texas"? Our treacherous authorities keep us (the people) disarmed. But if every Pole was armed, had a gun and could use it to defend himself and his home, there would not be treacherous politicians anymore.
In the Netherlands, general Stanisław Sosabowski and his 1st Polish independent paratroops brigade are still remembered. We just commemorated the 85th anniversary of that event. They were heroes during Operation Market Garden, fought in extremely difficult circumstances in their attempt to liberate Arnhem from nazi Germany and ultimately failed due to allied intelligence blunders and chaos in the operations overarching command. Then they were scapegoated by the British for the whole ordeal because the general had dared to criticize the allied plans before the operation commenced and of course, because they weren't brits. But maybe I'm a bit biased....I spent my youth in Driel and now live in Nijmegen, also went on a Dutch-Polish exchange trip to Poland (Krakow region) in my early high school years.
@@jiriwichern wow what an impressive historical knowledge. How was your exchange did you like Krakow? Im planning to see Breda too and war memorial of 1 Polish Armoured Division (Black Division) under Gen. Maczek Elite formation passing that way taking revenge on evil Germans. so excited to see Netherlands.. next year and Spinoza`s House, Amsterdam love the canals,,, in my town in Poland there is 1 canal my favourite spot, but having the whole capital ridden with canals and town houses is mind blowing .
@@opoleboy It is quite some time ago (early '90s) but I still have a couple of fond memories. The exchange was between the (at that time youth / young adults) choir i was a member of and (a/the?) Krakow student philharmonic orchestra. We both gave several performances within the respective areas of our trips. The historic city of Krakow is beautiful. We also visited Auschwitz (which is impressive in a whole other fashion) and the Wieliczka salt mine, where we sang a few songs a capella in the chapel they have hewn out of and then sculpted from the salt rock, deep under ground. The acoustics are incredible and, yes, also a bit overwhelming if you're singing there with 40+ other voices :P
@@larsnystrom6698 Nice -turning around the- use of the term -"hegemony"- 🙂 >Nice use of the term _self determination_ 🙂 There, fixed it for you, you're welcome 🙂
The Polish finally got a decent way of life after hundreds of years of oppression, persecution, mass x cution, their country not even existing for a while, war after war after war from both the germans and the russians and they are like NAH BRO NOT AGAIN.
As a Brit i cant think of a better country to become a European super power after all the crap they have been through also their role in world war two consists of so much more than be invaded by both Russia & Germany their pilots fought t bravely in the battle of Britain and many other battles not to mention the Polish having a significant part in the breaking of the Enigma code and plenty more besides.
I am from great Britain and we have a lot of polish people hear iv worked with some in coal mine and on road ways thay are very hard working people and very friendly I take my hat off to you great respect 👍
I totally agree with you. I was absolutely disgusted at the abuse directed at Polish immigrants around the time of Brexit by so many British people. Including some of my own family sadly. So many people will believe any old garbage they read in the gutter press. Absolutely disgraceful!
I was working with Russians when the Berlin wall fell. I was hoping that this could be a new era of co-operation and peace. No more cold war. Communication and mutual interests. Many Russians I spoke to had a cargo cult mentality as to the changes, in that all goods were to fall from above without effort. (Personal responsibility is not strong there.) One Russian took me aside and said that the West will put the wall back up once they realise what Russia is about. I scoffed at his comments at the time. I now owe him an apology.
Thank you for your kind words! 🙂If you really fully support, please remember it is also possible to support with money direcly or by simple customer choices that cost you close to nothing e.g. by buying polish products. Easy to find e.g. always use Orlen / STAR petrol stations, buy polish food in shops, for your default brands of clothes choose shops like Reserved, Mohito, Cropp or CCC, spend a few holidays in Poland etc. And of course motivate some family and friends to do the same!. Thank you again!
Having seen how poland have developed over the last 30 years, it's one of the most impressive comebacks in history. Smashed an terrorized by soviet and germany, and now they are totally on top of that and getting super strong defense to not end up at the bottom again! 100% Respect to Poland!
It should be obvious: What is more costly, invest 4% of GDP, show of force and avoid being invaded, or to repel the enemy that is bombarding your country, your infrastructure and industry and leveling to the ground every small city it encounters?
EU has awaken, but barely, it is still day dreaming of fairies and unicorns, diplomacy, multiculturalism and commerce. If they are so slow to build up their military, the least they could do is to forward 1% of their unified GDP to the ones actually doing the fight and saving them the ugliness of war
That will not happen. Who doesnt border russia doesnt feel the iminent threat that polish feel. All EU should finance the border safety and not only the ones with russian belarus border. Its all about perception. A lot of EU citizens dont care about ukraine because its far away.
Proud to be alongside Poland. This sounds like how much power we had in Sweden in the 80s even though we were neutral. Wish Sweden kept that power. We are aiming for 2.4 percent of GDP in 2025 but its half of Poland. Great work Poland!
you are aware that swedish army is much better spot than polish one? you got big air and naval fleets, own military industry and working procedures in place (both for civil and military angle)
@@GdzieJestNemo Indeed but we cut down radically in the 90s to save money cause we thought something like this would not happen again. In the 1960s we had the 4th biggest air force in the world. Not saying that Sweden dont have its advantages but still to be so ignorant to think that there will be no threat what so ever is kinda dumb. Our air force is small even though we have great technology.
@@Yuushiboy Unfortunately you also have a sizable enemy fifth column within your borders that constitutes a serious threat to both your own country and your neighbors. Another result of absolute insane and catastrophic policies from your leaders over many decades.
Countries in NATO have their own specialties. Poland's specialty is land army, that's why they're going so hard on that. Besides, it is what Poland would need in case of invasion firsthand, and which cannot be possibly deployed in time from other countries. I wouldn't put current border fences in "military defense" category. Poland and Baltic countries built it for a very specific reason - hybrid attacks from Belarus, which uses migrants as a weapon. Which is, in my opinion, not exactly the military type of activity. The new project is military-oriented though. But Poland is, probably, the most responsible NATO country in relation to Russian threat - it is a fact.
@@JG-nm9zk Bunkers and tank traps are military installations here. The walls could be incorporated in defense system, but by itself - it barely protects from non-organised migrants, and quite often they are able to breach it. For any somewhat professional army with engineering department it is not an obstacle. So I still disagree that that wall is military installation. Border control one - yes.
You forgot about another Polish specialty - special operations - we sent the fourth biggest contingent of SOF to Afghanistan - our operators were pretty successful over there ;-)
Naval forces are speciality of Sweden and Finland and Baltic Sea NATO naval dominance will depend on those countries for fist few weeks of the potential conflict. Poland neglected naval forces for long time so there is no choice as building naval forces is slowest from them all.
I am a brit, and I live with my family in Warsaw, I don't feel threatened by Russia yet, but we have an awful lot of Ukranians, Belarusians (in exile) and Russians (also in Exile) to remind us of reality, and I don't mind paying taxes for this armament!
@@nepsyasudra3262 actually we are more on a incompetent side - we got little to non working procedures, plans, infrastructure, know-how, industry... We just started buying stuff in a rush as soon as invasion started.
As an American I support Poland's military build up and would like to see all or NATO do the same. Russia has to understand if they touch one foot in any NATO nation they will be crushed by the entire alliance.
Poland is stuck between Germany and Russia. Their history is a sad one with moments of glory as well. Read about the Teutonic Knights. They came as “friends” too. Just like Russia.
@@iljenshumilin467maybe if Russia didn’t occupy Poland with Austria and Prussia/germany for 123 years from end of 1700s till 1918 , Russia isn’t a victim they have attacked Eastern European countries for hundreds of years, they also were Allies with nazi germany , last war russia had with Poland it lost in 1920 so they should stop making threats and stay in their territory because they are greedy and it’s never enough land or influence for the commies
@@iljenshumilin467Yeah, sure. 🤣 In 1939, Poland posed no threat to Russia, yet it was still invaded by the latter and occupied for over 50 years following the war. Poland wasn't a threat tu Russia in the 1770s either, but it still got partitioned. Yeah, watch more Russian propaganda, believe this shit.
The comeback of Poland. I'm not polish but I can only feel proud of their resilience and attitude. After being bullied throughout recent History, they come back with a booming economical growth topped up by military strength. Not many countries that fell under soviet influence can say that.
@@wadysawkostrzewski8557 Finland wast occupied by Russia since the 1940s. They lost some territory (East karelia) to Russia, but remained an independent, free and neutral country. The only occupation of Finland by Russia was waaay earlier, from 1700 - 1808 Russia controled some time everything or later just parts of finland. But that was ended completely 1808.
Poland must never again let a foreign country occupy its borders! My ancestors fled Poland just before Sept. 1st 1939! But I've lost several relatives because of Hitler. Poland must never forget!!!
Dont forget that Hitler and Stalin were ALLIES in attacking Poland, and Hitler treated the Poles better than Stalin did. Dont believe the lies about who murdered the Katin forest POWS, it was NOT the Germans.
The problem is that only 6 EU members border russia, so they feel to not be their problem as well. I think USA and Turkey to be NATO are wrong, and makes all other NATO members to live under their protection illusion shaddow. We need EU militar alliance, being friend of the rest of NATO, but EU cannot need NATO.
I was going to say the same. The possibility of el diaperito getting into the White House again has many a European leader talking about bolstering NATO without US help.
I don't agree with this opinion. Russia has been attacking other countries over the last 30 years, and we in Poland had a suspicion that sooner or later it would attack our neighbors or us. We spoke about it loudly - we were called hysterical.
I am Russian and my family emigrated abroad 15 years ago. At this point, I was already quite sure that Putin will end up starting a big war at some point.
My friend, better if he wouldn't. Lot of peoples will be hurted. In Russia as well as in country that will be attacked. I know Russians as very friendly peoples, I learned and speak Russian even today, so it is somewhat uneasy to see how brainwashed are now peoples in Russia. Greetings from Poland. Pozdravlaju vas ( sorry, but I have no Russian letters in my mobile)
@@FekalistaGrzybowory-lz8lh greetings from a Russian who is currently learning how to speak Polish! I left Russia a while ago and cant even visit, so when I come to Poland every year it feels to me what "Russia could have been"... I am impressed by the Polish by how well they developed the country after being opressed and held back for so long! I have some Polish very distant relatives, and I know from them how it used to be there just 40 years ago.
Poland has fought in every major war in Europe, contributing to saving Europe from destruction. It's great to see that Poland has come to its greatness by becoming the fastest-growing powerhouse and one of the most powerful militaries in NATO. Russia would not stand a chance against the new Poland, much less Belarus. Operation Dragon 24, training with Poland and NATO to increase interoperability between all our forces. So proud to train alongside the Polish military.
@@PsychicLord Poland has been occupied and divided many times throughout the 18th & 19th centuries, but the spirit of the Polish people has always been in defiance of those occupiers. During WW1, when several legions of Poles were created to fight in the Hungarian and German Army, they were disbanded because they refused to swear allegiance to Germany. Many Poles were forced to fight for the Central Powers, but many also fought with the Allies and independently for their own national independence. They have suffered from being sandwiched between Russia and Germany, but have persisted because of the national and ethnic commitment. Throughout history, Poland has had many victories against supposed conquerors and have managed to maintain their identity and national pride.
I do not have a problem with Russia as a one whole country disappearing/falling apart/becoming many countries. It will only be good for everybody including those poor Russians … who live in complete corruption nowadays.❤
@@allanwrobel6607 You mean NEW criminals taking the nukes from the CURRENT criminals? It COULD get worse, but MUCH more likely, those sovereign nations would use them for defense, not as threats while they INVADE a neighbor, like Russia has done. There are few things more criminal in World History than invading a neighbor with no provocation, kidnapping and indoctrinating their children, and replacing Ukranian families homes with Russian families. All these things have happened and are not in dispute by ANYONE other than the criminals themselves.
@@joaogoncalves7762 Yeah, to some extend you are right. I do not like Orban. But you know, we are friends with Hungary despite being from time to time in opposite alliances. And our friendship is thus so unique. Hungary is my nr 1 foreing country and nation. This is common sentiment. I like Czechs and Slovakas, too, Italy and USA. I would rather call it a pack of friends than pick whom I like the most among those nations. But if I were to pick - it would be Hungary. Budapest has planty of places that commemorate Polish-Hungarian frienship and people react so positively hearing, you are from Poland.
@@borovik8714 tbh I don't know or understand this "friendship". It's some bullshit legend and therir attitude towards Ruzzia is confirming that there is no friendship with Hungary. Our firedns are Balts and Czechs... Slovakians, I'm not sure of anymore.
@@borovik8714 hungary was subverted by the inside trough Orban. Russia already manipulated the Brexit and is atempting the same in other countries specialy in France and Germany, wich if it succeds will put the EU and NATO under existencial threat. I'm from Portugal and visited Poland and liked it, and undersrand your still very strong feelings against Russia, but they are trying the same in here. If the countries leadership changes too much to the extremists, you can't be sure who will remain friends. So Hungary may be beautiful and the hungarians great, but who leads (voted by them) is not your friend if you are against Russia. Sorry
Yep Russia already lost the war really. I’m just saying Russia has paid a paid a price for this war they cannot make worth it anymore they’ve lost to much in human life infrastructure and money to call this war a win even if they finished it tomorrow. Even if they take the territory they want there’s no guarantee they’ll be able to keep it very long too. The best thing Russia could do now is get rid of Putin and leave Ukraine but they’re to weak to stand up to Putler and Putler cannot give up fighting he life depends on getting some kind of victory in the near future.
So true. Russia will be so weak if they try to attack NATO, man and equipment wise, and much or mostly thanks to Ukraine and continuous support to Ukraine. Slava Ukraine.
@@user-fn2pb2ux9t maybe. too early to say. they were also convinced 2 and a half years ago they would conquer Kyiv and mostly all Ukraine in a blitz of 2 or 3 days. that didn't went well.

Yes and many of them worked at the US Military after WW2. But im not Nazi and i dont know any of them. Thats the past. Now Putin startet this War and cant go back because he will not loose his Face. Thats the only reason so many people are dead now and will die until the War Putin startet ends. Thats scary to me. Scary for me is that i have no clue where my Family will go when all out War in Europe starts. Where are you right now ? In the US ?
As Pole, liberal, left, I wouldn't mind to spend even 10% of GBP for military, we live in that kind of state of mind right now. Of course I rather to spend that money for other stuff, but in case of our east neighbor, I know that we need to be prepared for worst.
Spending 10% of GDP ad-hoc isn't solving problem. You need to spend consistently and I remember how left during peacetime was talking about militay being over-funded. Now ofcourse they changed their mind, cause it would be political suicide to state otherwise...
@@Buffalo_Soldier I’m not talking that is good or bad, I’m talking about willingness of polish people to accept this cost. Probably 5% is optimally highest before start to waste additional money.
@@Dadgrammer Yeah, I think right now anyone here is accepting higher spending in Poland. We've suffered enough from hands of Russians, we take no chances. While I think 21.37% for now would be too much (unless in war), 2.137% during "peaceful times' could be a thing : ) and ~5% for unsafe times.
POLAND DECIDES to have a strong defense for their country, so they don't get invaded by Russia again, and can fight back. - There I fixed that title for you.
Yes, but they are not stupid. They will not attack Poland, because that would be to attack NATO. Nonetheless, what Poland is doing is very wise. They would be in the front line of any aggression.
Poland did an amazing recovery from WW2 and Soviet time, there are so many industries now, where you say "poland is the best", they are undeniable. I dont know many ppl from there, and i have never been there. i guess they do have a strong patriotism, and they can be proud of what they have achieved.
@@thomashaller4876 actually its quite the opposite. after ussr collapsed the polish people went through serious poverty and unemployment. the quality of goods and food is still ages behind the western countries despite being really expensive. these videos are full of propaganda and always show whats best of poland when in reality no one wants to live there and whoever has a chance to work in another country goes there and never comes back
By the middle of 21C, Poland will have the strongest military force in Europe. So Poland will join the "great power 4" of Europe : Germany, France, UK and Poland, leaving Spain and Italy behind. Go go Poland. You are new Great Power of 21C.
I remember that at the fall of Warsaw during WW2. There was a group of kids like some boy scouts who had a story of heroics that make the heroes of old look basic
@@Owlbear-v5cthe intervention where NATO messed up while trying to stop a wider war and genocide? Not even comparable, Ukraine hasn't been committing Pogroms against villages, towns or cities...
@@Owlbear-v5c you know, Kosovars, Bosnians and Albanians are extremely thankful for the NATO intervention. You make it sound like NATO suddenly invaded Serbia for no reason, while somehow forgetting that Serbians were the aggressors and commited numerous war crimes. I dont know how you can find the NATO intervention an example of "not respecting borders". Also, the decision to stop the war was made by the UN, and Russia also voted in favor of it by the way. The only country which abstained was China.
@@tihonannenkov4114 Other way around. The war and massacres were started by Alija Izerbegovic and his followers who wanted other religions gone from Bosnia. Albanians moved into Kosovo and Metohija centuries before the modern conflict and for all that time were pressuring the Serbs there by force to abandon their homes. Both cases shows NATOs hypocricy and disregard for war crimes. War crimes are only bad if youre not on their side.
I’ve got a feeling that the Poles will never let the Russkies EVER let them try it on again. I’ll also wager that the young men and women of Poland are the true descendants of their grandfathers and great grandfathers , the certified heroes of WW2. The brave pilots in the Battle of Britain and the magnificent commandos. They are the kids of their families and that’s the best and sensational and more than enough. Also, God Bless Poland and their good folk.
In Poland it is not called "National Interest" but "The reason of State" and it is above all parties and political views, there is no party in Poland that would do anything against "The Reason of State". In theory, they can fight politically but they will do what is best for the state after they are in charge. In terms of Polish views about Russia, Ukraine etc. Nothing will change this, Poland will be supporting Ukraine and preparing for war until Russia is weak enough to not attack. Also, Poland is changing its own doctrine to a more aggressive one, and this is why it is spending so much. "The Reason of State" (Racja stanu) refers to a political principle that prioritizes the survival and well-being of the state over other considerations, including legal, ethical, or moral concerns.
@@AMDFan-s1y Then maybe start by getting Russia to stops attacking, invading, and murdering people in other countries then it won't have to defend its freedom. By the way what kind of freedom is that where some psychopath controls your whole life. You might want to think better about that. I recommend reading the book "Letters from Russia. Russia in 1839.” Author: Astolphe de Custine wrote, for example: 'This society of automats/robots is like half a game of chess, because one man moves all the pieces, and the invisible opponent is humanity. Everyone here moves and breathes only with the emperor's permission or at his command, so everyone is gloomy and restrained: silence presides over life and paralyzes it." Almost 200 years have passed, and russia and russians are still the same. Nothing has changed we all can see.
Do you all remember after World War II when the Soviets conquered a bunch of countries in order to create a barrier for themselves because of the flat terrain? I think it might be in Poland's best interest if they took some Russian territory and turned it into a buffer zone.
I can say we do not want war, but to stay safe and scare the imperialistic honorless russia Poland has to arm itself. Too much pain and betreyal in our history.
Poland is on the right track. I remember an ex-military Aussie soldier tell me that no war is ever won without putting boots on the ground - and the US in Vietnam is an exemplar.
We are not preparing for war against Russia. We are preparing for defend ourself if anyone wants to attack us. Our grandparents fight for independence and sacrifice their life for us. We are not let this sacrifice fade away.
Poland has the right idea. Ukraine has proven that Ground to Air equipped infantry is the best way to keep Russian air superiority at bay. Why invest heavily in air and unmanned when you can cheaply stall an invasion till you get aide from the rest of NATO. This is not necessarily relevant to all powers, like US forces or Chinese forces looking to take Taiwan, but if you are in a defensive war, those planes dont help you that much into Russia.
AFAIK, one of the reasons F35 were chosen is that: 1. Starting from Poland, they can reach Moscow (both in terms of fuel and avoiding Russian air defense). 2. They can carry nuclear bombs. Of course I doubt buying these bombs from the US will be easy. But the point is that Russians can't be sure if and when Poland has them and therefore it works fairly well as a deterrent.
The Mongols were barely out of the stone age. Look at all the problems they made for their neighbours. And Iran? Under sanction for 45 years. An economy in shambles. And still exporting misery.
Even if Russia is gone, there will still be china, and if china is Gone or weakend, the whole world would suffer, and there wouldn't be a reason for NATO to exist, so that's why they have to have enemies.
But that's not necessarily Polands job. Finland, the Baltics, Poland and yes Ukraine do man the walls to Orkiztan. Because if they do not, the war will be fought on their turf. Sweden secures the baltic sea and air, while Germany keeps the bread, butter and other supplies coming. Air support and drones can easily and quickly be deployed from countries further to the west. It just makes sense to have such a tiered system. It might not be that way now, but you can bet on it, this is what we'll see soon.
As far as I can tell, a verb "to threaten" has a little bit different meaning. When you see someone is crazy and tries to kill someone, you normally take at least a stick to protect yourself. It is not you a real threat in this case.
most russian nukes are worthless dropbombs i remember its around 4000 dropbombs. Those will hit nothing. Russia cant even fly over ukraine! The rest ist doable by germany alone, i think poland with a little help of germany can stop russia too!
From the point of view of history, Poland has had about 20 wars with Russia, so it is not a question of whether Poland will have a war with Russia, but when this war will take place or in what form.
Amazingly smart that Poland started this effort in 2020 against the tide of the pandemic and ahead of the invasion. I doubt they regret that move. All the same, I think we are more apt to see a "Soviet collapse 2.0" than a Ukraine 2.0. Having said that, if there IS to be a Ukraine 2.0, it won't be in Poland with that many Patriot batteries on order and NATO at their back.
I support the strengthening of Poland's military, but the wall is a bad idea. Mark my words, that wall will slow down the Polish army's advancements to Moscow.
Good on Poland, but let's hope they remember that all those fancy weapons systems need a substantial store of ammo, and the means to feed with a constant flow to resupply them on the front line.
ohh nooo!? you dont say!? im sure they never once thought the guns would need ammo, what a oversight, you should be like some kind of military commander or something your just so smart and thought of everything.
@@xeykdeyk truth is atm we do not have the capability or ability/knowledge to produce advanced shells/missiles and we can't even produce artillery shells in substantial quantity :( What`s worse i didn't hear about any real plan to fix this + who knows how little/much time we have left :/
I am Pole, and I must say its true. Its very deep in all us, we fear threat all the time and have killing determination to protect everything at all cost! So we will stay strong and all society accepts to spend a lot! please help us Europe. We should be united against that orc enemy.
What do you mean no welfare state when you are talking about Poland? "The Constitution of Poland states that all citizens have the right to social security in case of being unable to find a job, reaching the retirement age, or suffering from inability to work due to illness or disability."
THE LORD WILL BLESS POLAND and protect POLAND from Russia 😈 evils .THIS TIME POLAND will be STRONG 💪 THE LORD IS HAPPY TO SUPPORT POLAND TO bring RUSSIA ON ITS KNEE...THE LORD IS Waiting at the Border for RUSSIA TO come....THKS LORD🙏🙏🙏🙏
