Poland should, and will, arm itself to a level where it becomes too hard to mess with by the neighbours ie. where the cost of attacking Poland would be too high
Except it won't. The Polish navy is in a dreadful state, the air force is completely dependent on NATO, and the land forces are in disarray because so much money has been diverted to the ideologically motivated WOT goons who won't be able to offer anything in the event of war.
Of course, the Polish military also reflects the reality, that is the threat only comes from Russia and Belarus. Yet, the reality on the ground is that there's nothing that could stop a Russian invasion except the NATO deterrent. That's why we need close and deep military integration with the rest of Europe.
