I think Poland is tired of historically being a punching bag. I don’t blame them.
Only one winner is thinkable for NATO, EU and the western world, so if this needs to be done, it needs to be done
Poland can send its farmers. I am sure that they will be able to block the movement of Russian tanks
French first, then Baltics, now Poland. The frog is boiling fast.
Even if NATO/Europe doesn’t end up sending troops, the fact that it’s on the table is worth something in itself. It gives Ukraine/Zelensky a completely different position in possible negotiations.
If Ukraine’s army collapses and the Russians starting advancing westwards, Poland is not going to accept the Russians sitting right on their border. So for them, it’s a choice of fighting Russians on Ukrainian soil or fighting them on Polish soil.
I still think this is a very long way off. Russia may have captured Avdiivka, but the casualties they suffered to do so suggests this will remain a very slow and grinding war of attrition. But the unthinkable a year ago now seems terrifingly thinkable.
Keep poking the bear. All these moronic politicians are gonna get us all killed. Love the human race, a few nut jobs and we all suffer.
Salami tactics :
” Salami tactics, also known as the salami-slice strategy, is a political tactic used to achieve an objective piece by piece, gradually, and in small increments so as not to provoke significant opposition or outcry. It involves dividing a larger objective into smaller, less noticeable parts and implementing each part separately, making it more difficult for opponents to resist or oppose the overall objective. This strategy is often used in politics, negotiations, and military operations”
How about instead we send all the redditors who want to keep throwing other nations fodder at them
If this shit kicks off I will legitimately go join the service, you can count on that.
If we don’t draw a hard line in the sand, Taiwan is next.
How does this work? Can any NATO constituent decide unilaterally to send NATO troops into another country? Does it need a quorum or some sort of consensus?
How about getting your border open and send more weapons.
That’s how it’s worked since 1945
I would love to see Poland use Russia as a punching bag! 😃
Russian troops are no match for Poland.
What Nato and US should have done on day 1, roll in a massive force to western Ukraine, not to fight but to at least dissuade
Maybe west should actually send everything possible equipment wise before doing these strongly worded headlines… Give ukraine everything it needs to win.
