Technically those lands were at one point Polish, but that’s not a reason for them being Polish today as most lands in Europe have belonged to multiple political entities at different times in history.

Those lands are Polish populated today and Germany has signed treaties accepting that fact. Thanks yo both countries being in the EU, Germans can live, work, buy property etc and live in Breslau or Warmia. Some do, but the fact if the open borders makes the irredentist claims not a factor

The threat from Muscowy is acknowledged by all parties in Poland except the far left

The link you gave says “Starting in May 2022, Poland stopped importing coal from Russia.”

It’s not Muscowite divisions sweeping across Europe, rather it is Moscow causing havoc with s limited invasion

If the Russians were smart, they'll agree to the ceasefire in Ukraine. Then they'll invade the Baltics with 300,000 troops.

In that hypothetical scenario, what will Trump do? Most likely nothing other than secondary sanctions on nations trading with Russia.

NATO and President Trump have troops in the Baltics, if they were invaded Trump would have to operate as a NATO member and fight back.

Trump is unlikely to defend. Germany, France, the UK? They'll depend on Trump.

Similar to 1938 when Hitler seized Czechoslovakia and the Western Allies didn't know what to do.

You think that if NATO and our American troops are attacked in a NATO country as Russia invades us, that President Trump will flee and disregard article 5, and submit to Russia’s attacks on our NATO alliance?
