So you see, the Poles are once again a victim of geography. Always have been, always will be..... that's why history is so very important. Well there are 40 million Poles now, and they are one nation. There are 120 million Russians but they are all different groups that hate each other. As for who would come to their aid: the Baltics, the Czechs likely, perhaps some other who have felt the sole of the Russian boot on their face. From Wikipedia: The combined Polish armed forces consists of 163,000 [2] active duty personnel and in addition 234,000 reserves. The armed forces are made up of conscripts who serve for a period of 9 months, and professional soldiers. Personnel levels and organization in the different branches are as follows (2004): Of course were Poland attacked many more Poles not in the army would fight, this is the tradition. I also suspect more than a few people of Polish descent would take part.

I'm sure that all your facts are correct, I really do.

However, Poland just doesn't have that good of a record against Russia. I'm thinking that the Poles will fight the good fight, but unless all the other former republics join up they might make a go of it.

I think they'll fight, like they always have. But the size of the Russian Army makes it just about impossible to a face to face war. They've used their weapons and in spite of what some may think, know how to wage war.

I'm just thinking now, well if Russia gets to kick the cr#p out of Georgia...... why can't we do the same to Venezuela?

The Monroe Doctrine still applies with Venezuela making a big show of aligning itself with Iran. Well good. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, Chavez you b#tch.

I would love to see him stammer on about this and that while 82nd Airborne, Rangers or an MEU decides it's time to quit letting this fat tub of sh#t blow gas out his pie-hole.

Get your stupid rockets, jets, tanks and choppers Chavez.... just nice targets for our guys.

I'm not kidding either. The Russians have learned from history... kill one civilian, that's a tragedy.... kill a couple of hundred at a time..well the number is so overwhelming that it's just a number. Can you imagine the world wide condemnation about the civilian casualties if this were the United States taking back a breakaway area of California?...OH MY GAWD!!

The panties would be so twisted that every Marine and Army assigned to that FAO would be in prison. .... or we would have the pathetic wussies whining about our callous military.

Do you see any Russian legal officers taking their soldiers or commanders to court for using Multiple rockets in a civilian center? Or p#ssing about Rules of Engagements?? gee, do ya think?

What about the "churches" or places of worship? Nope not a peep.

How 'bout the innocent children...? Not a peep.

Two faced hypocrites from the left make me want to puke. That's why I think every Jag-off that brings charges against our guys needs to pull a year with a rifle platoon OUTSIDE the wire for giggles.
