  1. I understand the impulse, but history has taught us that there is no such thing as an impenetrable border.

  4. ITT: Dumb people who think that the failure of the Maginot line means that all defensive fortifications are useless

  6. That $ 2.5 Billion would probably construct a 1/2 mile of boarder wall in Texas or California if Steve Bannon & His cronies were involved.

  7. *US seeing other countries spend massive amounts of money on military and security.*
    “First time?”

  8. I was reading Churchill biography and learned that during the phony war French force was NOT flying air reconnaissance into Germany territory for the fear of angering Germans. Or something like it. So the maginot line could have been more useful if proper tactics were used.

  9. Reddit is too funny.

    Everyone brings up Maginot Line.

    You people realize lessons can be learned, right?

    Doing NOTHING is not the lesson.

    Iteration and improvement is how we thrive.

  11. The way things are going, this is probably a smart choice. Russia will created a biiiig wave of immigrants if things continue like this, and that’s a big ass country.

    Also, Russia it’s nuts so you can’t be to careful.

  13. Better do it. We heading for war with Russia and I believe it’s inevitable.

  14. I misread this as portland and was like what the heck portland.

  15. The Finns have a pretty high tech border defense. Perhaps Poland wants to replicate that? Who can blame them?

  16. If Russia wins in Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics are next. Glad they’re taking the possibility seriously

  20. Sounds like a good investment. If nothing else, it buys time. Tie up the invaders for a bit while NATO pummels them.

  22. France fell in WW2 because of failure of command, not because their fortifications (which ran to the channel but had multiple gaps where they believed the terrain would be sufficient defense)

  24. The Maginot Line did exactly what it was meant to… it forced the Germans to go around and fight in the Benelux, rather than in home territory. France lost the battle due to the superiority of German strategy and mobility over French.

    French tanks were feared by the Germans, and were considered better than German tanks. However, they were spread out and played more supporting roles than being the main breakthrough forces like the Germans used their tanks for.

  25. Dig a massive ditch along your boarder and fill it with snakes and spikes. Make it wide so you can’t jump across.

  26. Is this one of the animal-migration blocking methods, or no?

  27. Poland is in bad situation and definitely a potential front line country. But is not even half as bad position as Lithuania. Having less than 10% of the population of Poland and shares LONGER border with Russia and Belarus by 300km (650 vs 950km). Also the terrain over there is flat but there are a lot of lakes and smaller bodies of water. If Russia ever invades it will do from Lithuania. Far more easier.
    Also let’s don’t forget how vornuable is Kaliningrad for Russia. Half of the oblast will be in range of conventional artillery and all of it by HIMSRS with 100km range with a 20-30km buffer zone by border. Any potential military target in Kaliningrad can be wiped down in matter of days. In addition Kaliningrad cannot not be supplied by, water nor air in case of war. People there would have to fend for themselves.

  28. Good thing, they deserve every inch of land to be protected and impenetrable, they should never go through the horrors of the past ever again, I hope Poland will prevail from the Russians like they did in the 1920’s.

  29. What did all these politicians see that has them scared? I wouldn’t think anything of it if this wasn’t so soon after Mike “I’m an actual god-damned Cyril Figgis” Johnson didn’t swing over to supporting Ukrainian aid. What do they know?
