“I don’t know why we’re assuming Russia is really at war with Ukraine.”
It’s a knife fight that has been ongoing for 500+ years. This isn’t just a 20th century bleedover into century 21.
The threat to Poland is not that Putin will attach next week, but rather if he wins in Ukraine and then annexes other post-Soviet states Russia could be back to its power level as the USSR.
For just as long as Russia has argued Ukraine is not a real country they have done the same about Poland.
