This stuff is stupid.

Russia has a pretty small population.
Russia has a pretty small economy.
Russia’s military seems to be having trouble fighting little ol’ Ukraine.

I saw one commentator say that Russia was likely to invade Poland, wage all out war on NATO, and use nukes to take over Western Europe.

Russia Russia Russia is always useful as a bogeyman.

Retired American Polaks should retire there and work for free thereby freeing up the young men for military service. A retired infantry sargent could do just well on half his old salary. Still young too. Train them on weapons.

that's only because Russia keeps making threats against neighboring countries, and attacking and invading them

maybe if Russia stopped doing those things, then it wouldn't be seen as such a menace?

You know, your attitude reminds me of the left who keeps insisting that Islam is not a problem, that Islamic terrorism are not a problem, that it’s all just a right wing bogeyman.

I have the same advice to you that I have to them. When someone repeated tells you what they are and what they want, and their actions are consistent with those stated goals repeatedly. Maybe at some point you should believe them.

Ukraine and Poland aren’t near in the same class. Also in Poland Russia is not going to have a problem of friendly people and infrastructure it would want to spare.
