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.
Poland is going to be the monkey wrench in the gears for Putin’s plan.
I’m big on Poland.
They’re building bases close to the Finnish border. I almost feel sorry for them, but not really.
Joking aside though, if a new front opens it’s highly likely it’ll be here. Our politicians are already ensuring we have a plan, and …we’ll, we do.
If they want to fight us in the forests again I don’t think it’ll end like Putin thinks it will, no matter if it’s summer or winter.
Their drones won’t be as effective, and while they may well have a larger army now than when they started that’d change pretty quickly I believe.
russia can barely handle ukraine; they’re never going to bother w europe.
Nothing bad ever came from underestimating your enemies right?
The same could be said for overestimating them, which can lead to defeatism.
I absolutely don’t see that as what’s happening here.
They’re simply taking a page out of Switzerland’s book, which is essentially “train literally everyone as a contingency, and make a public defense policy to bleed anyone white who tries to invade”.
Hope you’re gonna be just as jolly when is gonna be your turn going into a meat grinder.
There is nothing to get “big on” in fucking war. It’s not sports.
Going big on the people who are against an aggressor sounds pretty anti-war to me.
It of course is. I agree with the sentiment, and I am glad there is optimism in a form of cheering for Ukraine, and whoever else who might get targeted next.
It is the wording in this context that got to me, I just do not think it is appropriate. Then I got carried away.
Your comment makes no sense.
These patriots are stepping up. You seem to think I will shirk my duty.
