Yet no pictures....love those Beryl’s
Poland military is no match for Russian military.
I’d be on Poland’s side against Russia.
The bad news is, if this was a Risk game, Poland would have 2 pieces on the board and Russia would have about 30.
I hope no one rolls the dice!
The parade commemorating the Miracle of the Vistula where the Poles pushed back the Red Army from the gates of Warsaw is one of the most under-appreciated events in modern history. Lenin made it clear after defeating Poland he would send the Red Army into a tottering Germany. The Poles put an end to the thought of the new Soviet Union igniting a worldwide, or at least European, wide revolution.
I hope that's a reasonable translation from google translate. :)
Are those Germany made Leopard II tanks? I know the Poles have purchased those but the barrels seem too stubby.
Russians are a reprobate and dissolute people.
Wow! Beautiful! Thanks for putting them all on for us to see.
Probably not. But the Poles gave the Nazis a hard time in 1939, and resistance only collapsed when the Soviets invaded from the east.
If, heaven forbid, there is another war, Poland will have allies at her back this time.

OTOH, the Poles would fight like badgers. I don’t think pooty wants any part of that, although I’m sure he’d love to have Poland.
I don’t think the “motivational” tools that the Red Army used in WWII could be applied today.
And the Poles listened to their allies the French and English not to ramp up their defenses so as not to antagonize Hitler or Stalin, if they had gone to war footing in 1938 like they wanted, the early parts of the war might have ended more like Finland. Hopefully the Poles aren’t listening to oDUmbo now.
Are Poland and Israel Allies? If so how close? I'd love to know...
Those RCRs are looking sloppy, dang guys making Canada look bad.
Perhaps not in numbers, but I wouldn't want to be the Russian to step over that line. The Poles have a lot of tanks.
The sloppy one is an Officer , Run Chicken Run
The guy a few back has his combat pants coming out of his boot bands too, sloppy, PPCLI would never behave in such a disgraceful fashion heh.
Poland kicked ass all during WWII, during the Battle of Britain, at Monte Cassino, in the sewers of Warsaw, they never gave surrendered.
Russia would lose a lot of soldiers if they dared to try to take Poland again. It’s a price I don’t think even Putin would be willing to pay.
