Poland calls for “heavy brigade” of EU troops amid rising Russia threat

1. That would be a very small start, we definitely need more than a brigade.

2. Heavy Boiz

3. Finally! Send as many European soldiers as possible. We have to kick Putins ass as hard and soon as possible.

4. Hmm…what threat to Poland ? Last time I checked, Russia is trapped in grind, here in Ukraine, and everyone to the West seems happy with that.

5. After just 801 day of war, terror and ethnic cleansing in Ukraine some European countries, which are closer to russia and had previous history of being attacked by the russians, started to realize that the russian threat may be real.

6. I have heard insults from polish politicians beyond any measure. They have insulted russians, germans and french in ways noone would admit to himself, let alone the country they represent.

   What now? Asking for help?

7. An EU army would be very cash money

8. Maybe you should surrender, why any European will die for you?

9. Lately, I’ve been going to the gym 1 extra day per week than usual and lifting heavier than ever before. I’m ready.

10. A cry for help in time of need, await relief from Holy League

11. NATO definitely needs more heavy brigades. We lack artillery components and heavy mechanized. I mean light infantry in wheelbased vehicles are fine for rapid and light deployment far away but ill suited against a mechanized opponent.

    Yes we hope to use our superior Airforce for the flying artillery role but that does not work when full airdominance is not a given.

    Plus with largely volunteer units comes the question? What if they got “ spent”. With neither the mass training facilities, available equipment ( we thrown away the gear for mobilization troops long ago) and not the most enthousiast populace to go and fight for their country it’s going to be tough. Better prey that the Airforce can pull it off..

12. We should write a directive! Then spend the next 6 months arguing who to translate it.

13. Rebuild the European defense industry, heavily invest in r&d for heavy weaponry, people without a job be reeducated for weapon production, snuff out all pro-Russian sentiment and populism, provide Ukraine with all the weapons they need. Putin only understands politics by the size of the stick he could be beaten with
