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.

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.

Poland is in NATO, Ukraine is not. Good luck with invading Poland lmfao

Does anybody seriously think that Russia or Belarus would gain anything by attacking a NATO country? It doesn't make any sense at all. This is just a government trying to use fear to gain consent. Which is the way of doing politics of the last 50 years.
