Polish military vehicles on the way to Ukraine/Polish border. For what purpose, that’s a good guess.

But they’re on the way for some reason.

Probably there just in case....but they will not allow Russians to get their former lands in Western Ukraine without a fight.

I just finished commenting on another thread that when a great power acts like a passive, feckless idiot then lesser powers can act in such a way as to draw in the great power if they want to.

The Poles know from bitter historical experience that feeding the bear only leaves you as the last item in the buffet line.

Poland wants to keep the Western Ukrainian Bandera Nazis out of Przemysl. They’ve laid claim to that area of Poland, too.

If the Europeans aren't preparing to ship huge amounts of material aid to Ukraine, then they are sleeping at the switch. Given the way Germany insisted on refighting WWII in Yugoslavia, I think the odds of Germany not helping Ukraine are zero. We'll see. For Poland, this is an existential crisis - Ukraine's territorial is essential for Poland's national security. Do the Poles really believe Uncle Sam will fight to keep Poland free from its former Russian overlord? Just in case, it's better to have a unitary Ukraine, which can be had on the cheap by providing a equipment to Ukrainians willing to the pay the price for freedom.
