Report: Poland Calls Up Army Reserves: “The World Stands On the Brink of Conflict”

SHTF Plan ^ | 3/26/14 | Mac Slavo

At least 7,000 reservists have been recalled to the colours for immediate exercises lasting between 10 and 30 days.

They’re told by the Polish authorities that the call-ups are “routine”: but the men say they haven’t been asked before and they’re well aware of the growing alarm in Warsaw at President Putin’s aggression. Three weeks ago, their Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, called a press conference to warn that “the world stands on the brink of conflict, the consequences of which are not foreseen… Not everyone in Europe is aware of this situation.”

Russia won't do nothing not with 'Metrosexual Man' watching!

Has Poland mentioned this yet to the big O?

[dfwgator]

So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1939.

FReeper Platoon of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade arriving to denounce Poles as "Nazis" in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

[Kartographer]

I am sure Neville Chamberlain said the same thing in September of 1939.

[Samogon]

Ukraine is in the same situation as Poland was in 1939, and Put in is even madder than Hitler. Their concern is justified.

[Billthedrill]

Been doing a lot of reading on the beginning of WW1 over the last week or so. Calling up the reserves brings up some real bad memories. BTT

[Samogon]

Nah, Russians had not declared them as such, so the Platoon will wait for instructions from Russia Today.

My first thought was that this was one of Homer Simpson’s “70 Years Later” posts (though to be accurate it would be closer to ‘75 years later’).

“As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man,
There are only four things certain since social progress began...”

[Revolting cat!]

Nah, he just wanted Sudetenland Crimea.

[FredZarguna]

You're right, of course.

They don't do anything without explicit instructions from Moscow Centre.

Still -- nominal Americans -- those who've been working overtime to obey orders will be very gratified at their new status:

[ought-six]

Yeah, and the “leader” of the U.S. is a limp-wristed milquetoast who would — and will! — surrender in a heartbeat.

[Revolting cat!]

The background of this is that the New Soviets have accused Poland of fomenting the unrest and uprising in Ukraine and of having trained the Maidan protesters. This maybe news for the Lincoln Brigadistas here who’ve been promoting the same idea about fascist financier George Soros.

[Moorings]

It makes sense for them to be prepared. They should also cooperate and coordinate with the Baltic states. If they can come up with the joint defence cooperation between them, and put up a united front against the Ruskies would be the way to go.

No point waiting for Western Europe, who only fight if the U.S. is leading the way, or if it is just some poor third world country they can easily beat up. They also cannot depend on the U.S.

Thank you for the Kipling reference - an invaluable poem........

[DuncanWaring]

Yep - invaluable to the point that I’ve memorized it.
