Poland is walking the “gangster” walk. And some others. Everyone else will be drawn in by the logic of THAT situation.
And you dont want that situation.
If you want to head it off, stop Russia now.
How?
As someone who lives in Poland, I don’t think Poland is “walking the gangster walk”.
Poland see’s it as “if we do not help Ukraine fight off Muscowy, we will be the next target. AND we should expect to stand on our own”.
