Poland -- Europe's only counterweight to Russia [271]
But I know that Afghanistan, Irak, and Libya were not destroyed by Russia.
Actually, mess in Afghanistan was started by Russia, they were involved in most of these ****** wars one way or another, same with Syria recently, "free world" is a negative factor over there but Russia is no better, unless you believe in RT style Kremlin propaganda that they are brave heroes, who went there to defeat evil ISIS and protect minorities. "World powers" have been making mess in peripheral areas of the world, that's what they do.
How can Poland or Latvia be viewed as a threat to Russia's security?
You ask me ? Ask them. Apparently, they want all ex-commie countries to be a kind of buffer zone without any serious military, either domestic or foreign. Otherwise they feel "threatened" and "provoked". The thing is, it shouldn't be their friggin business, we don't care much what they do around Moscow, they shouldn't care much what we do around Warsaw.
But give Poland the means to fulfil its ambitions, and see what happens.
Yes and perhaps 200 years from now, Poland will acquire thousands of nuclear warheads, start invading neighbours, annex Wilno and Lwów and so on. You think civilized world should then think "let's do nothing, better don't provoke them" ?
Yes, it's a little game between nuclear powers (kinda risky)
Yes and If you haven't noticed, a lot was done to appease Russia, Russia-NATO council, no NATO bases in ex-commie countries, Russia in G8, NATO turned into a political club. Obama, Tusk and all other faggots have been trying "resets" with Russia and that brought only wars and muscle flexing on the Russian side. Since over a decade Russians have been on the offensive and if the other side does nothing, they will keep it going.
I wonder what will you say If the "little green men" show up in Latvia one day ?
* start a nuclear war with Russia ?
* oh we need more dialogue ! (**** Latvia, let them have it) -> then soon later they will try something similar with Poland, this time triggering off a serious regional military conflict that will likely turn into something much more serious.
The reason why the cold war didn't turn hot was that each side knew the other would quickly counter-attack. Would you scream back then that US, UK, Canada etc. should pull out of West Germany because Russia feels provoked ? Ever heard "If you want peace, prepare for war" ?
Talking about "allies", America doesn't care much about Poland.
I'm well aware of that. That's why we should expect from "NATO" (US, UK) stationing here 3-4k soldiers and have a detailed plans to transport quickly 30-40k more in case of any crisis - to drag them here and force them to react if shyt hits the fan - If they like it or not. If they won't do that being more concerned about Russia's "feelings" - we should leave the whole "alliance" as it's worthless. Just like in in 39 we should have demanded from UK/France to move here a squadron of destroyers + 5 squadrons of Hurricanes/2-3 infantry divisions. Or else cancel the whole deal and start negotiating with Adolf.
Regarding "EU army" and such nonsense, it would be more likely send into action to put down "nationalistic governments" in some member states or airlift "refugees" than to defend anyone.
