It seems the words of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warning 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," are a little more real than some (US equity buyers) might suspect. As The Week's Crispin Black reports, at least 7,000 Polish workers in Europe have received call-up papers as army reservists in the last few weeks. Polish authorities dismiss it as "routine" but the men note this has never happened before.

As The Week's Crispin Black goes on to note,

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

If history is any guide, Russia won’t need to invade Poland, the west will simply give it to them, along with Eastern Europe and half of Germany.

I would advise all former soviet nations that do not want to be annexed, to adopt the Swiss model of civilian armament and put thousands of rifles into the hands of their citizens.

Poland could last 12 hours at full readiness. Do you understand air assault. This is such a joke!! And obammy is doing march madness thump thump brackets and actually cares about thump thump like it means something.

Poland is much closer to the Muscovites.

Let’s party like its 1920...

[dfwgator]

Yes, that was a much better party.

You mean the Baltic states? The geographically challenged Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia.

Aksyonov, The Island of Crimea is more apt.

[Husker24]

Good God people, Putin isn’t going to invade Poland.

That is the best photo I have seen in weeks!

Oh I think they would last longer than that: about 950 MBT's (128 Leopards, the rest upgraded to NATO guns/sites) and 1500 AFIV's, 415,000 men with reserves.

Plus 37,500,000 others with every rifle, shotgun, molotov cocktail and rotten fruit they could muster to fight the Russians.

On a brighter note Putin is helping Ukraine and Poland to become closer
friends. Poland does NOT want a larger border with Russia...
