The Polish armed forces are training citizen volunteers how to be armed partisans, firing rifles and donning gas masks.

That’s… not great. The program is apparently popular, so they are expanding its capacity so that every adult male receives the training.

    An attack on Poland would immediately invoke NATO Article 5, drawing in the combined forces of continental Europe, the UK, the US and Turkey. The world wouldn’t need to worry about it going nuclear, conventional forces would have the Russians back over the Belarusian border by lunchtime.

      Mango Fucking Mussolini would abandon Poland like the British and French in 1939. Fuck Russia and the MAGAts, this German supports the European NATO members and especially our neighbors to the east. If the motherfucking Muscovites attack, I will request to be reinstated and do whatever I can to stop the filthy bastards.

      I would love to believe you but looking at the sleepy AF response when Europe decided to help Ukraine…

      Yeah, no, Poland is a buffer. Again.

            If Ukraine was NATO, we’d be out in all force already.

            It is only because we don’t have a defense treaty with them that we risk the NATO treaty if any NATO country decides to send troops. Since they are essentially deciding for every NATO country to enter the war then.

            But if they attack a NATO country like Poland, then that is exact what NATO is designed for and nothing is risked.
