Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said 10,000 soldiers would ultimately be deployed to the border area. He made the announcement in a state radio interview a day after a different official said Poland was sending 2,000 additional troops to the border over the next two weeks, essentially doubling its military presence there.

This is obviously terrible but probably necessary when we look at how the whole thing is developing. Once you look aggressive enough you might be lucky so bullies leave you alone.

What do you think? Wouldn't be the first time. But at least this time the Germans seem to be holding back.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

For Russia, or in this case their puppet, to invade a NATO country? Yes, it actually would be the first time.

For Russia, or in this case their puppet, to invade Poland? No, it actually would not be the first time.
