Right. Kiev and Zelensky government did not cave or run. Matter of fact they wasted all Russian invading forces. I was shocked. I was sucked into the propaganda of how mighty Putin’s Russian army is. (was)
So the Russians ran like rats and abandoned the Kiev front. Now the war is in the Eastern Ukraine with artillery and rockets back and forth. Precise targeting info/intel from America is making the difference, and so are the multi-launch systems we are sending. Germany (Gazprom addicts) is slacking off but we are making Poland into a military superpower.
” Poland into a military superpower.”
Don’t think so. BUT there is something about the US/Western
artillery that seems to be working.
Poland: Europe’s Newest Military Superpower?

Some highlights
Poland has embarked on the largest procurement of conventional American weapon shipments in history. In March, Warsaw signed off on $4.75 billion worth of Patriot missiles, bolstering the nation’s anti-missile defense system.
Poland also requested an additional six Patriot systems in late May. This was not the first major purchase by the country, which prepared for the worst in February and laid the groundwork for its largest ever tank purchase, ordering 250 M1 Abrams tanks from the U.S.
Poland continued to strengthen its defensive capabilities. This includes a major weapons purchase from military tech giant South Korea, including 180 K2 tanks to be delivered by 2024 and another 400 by 2030. Additionally, Poland purchased 48 FA50 light attack aircraft, 1,400 IFVs, and 670 plus K9 self-propelled howitzers. Defense Minister Blaszczak also stated Poland will increase its active-duty forces to 400,000 with an increase in defense allocations to 3% of the nation’s GDP.
Arguably the top defense investment Poland made was the procurement of 500 HIMARS from the U.S.
It should also be noted Russia has ramped up militaristic rhetoric with regard to Poland; for example, by disrespecting the victims of the Katyn Massacre and suggesting that the country should be next in line to be “denazified.”
