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.

    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.
