Is Poland allowed to buy Russian military equipment? Maybe then Russia would become a serious partner of Poland and would support it instead of trying to attack it :b

Poland appears uncertain about its strategic direction, seeking close ties with the distant United States, avoiding fully severing relations with Russia, and maintaining a cautious stance toward the European Union. It is a strategy, but Poland would be better off making up their mind on their long term goals.
but Poland would be better off making up their mind on their long term goals.
I wouldn't talk about Poland political directions because Poland's politicians give off some sophisticated vibes but in fact they are simpletons that barely know what they are doing.
As for your proposition, I disagree. In the current state of an unstable geopolitical reality in the world, the only sensible course of action is an act of maintaining the proper balance.

Right, but the presence of strongly independent countries like Poland, Hungary, and even Germany (when it used to fully support Russia) limits how unified and powerful the EU can become. Russia is able to take advantage of this fragmentation because it operates with a clear, long-term strategic vision. That said, it is not Poland's fault; the EU's leadership remains divided on too many key issues.
Russia..operates with a clear, long-term strategic vision.
They may have a vision, but they lack the resources to realize that vision. 🤷♂️
