Didn't Poland have an extensive training program in the early days of the war? Many civilians were taught how to use and care for rifles and other basic survival skills.
The Polish civilians did this because they didn't want a repeat of Sep 1, 1939.
I am not talking about Russia ‘s intent. I am talking about their ability to actually “roll” through Poland. Do you think Poland will just say “uncle”? And that the other Baltic states, Czechia and Finland will just watch?
While Poland is working on possessing a robust and modern military, the combined strength of Poland, Finland, and Czechia alone may not suffice to counter a full-scale Russian invasion. (Finnish military is ranked 48th globally and I think Czech Republic is 53rd; USA is ranked 1st, then China, then Russia). However, the strategic advantage lies in their NATO membership.
I don’t want to belabour this as a face to face conversation would be more constructive. Russia can’t even make it through Ukraine. And perhaps, more importantly, should Russians somehow make it through Ukraine and enter Poland, will Germany just stand by and worry about the Russians making it over their border or will you immediately come to Poland’s assistance?
I’m not so sure they’ll be able to just “roll right into Poland.”
They will, and with The Orange Turd's total blessing!
(Just a side note. Many of the Polish people in Chicago voted for the Turd.
I just can't understand why, especially if they lived through the years when the Soviet Union had control over Poland.)
Mary not dead yet?
Bullets still cheap.
It took Nazi Germany only a few DAYS to "conquer" Poland. We must be vigilant!

Unfortunately, I disagree. And I am not alone in feeling that this is a very real possibility.
