Why should Poland consider pursuing a strategic alliance with Russia? [393]
Poland is growing very fast in the right direction all by themselves is my way of thinking.
Growing during peacetime is one thing, Johnny. Properly preparing for war is another.
Poland should already be building Swiss-style territorial defence and train (re-train) adult population for military service. Unfortunately, it's not happening. HIMARSes, Apaches and K2s won't win the war - it is the grey soldier that decides any prolonged conflict. Poland is, to a large extent, a victim of her own success - a G20 economy and practically non-existent unemployment make military service unattractive to majority of suitable men, and it is men in uniform, trained and ready to fight, that Poland needs the most.
Maybe the Slovaks and Hungarians got it right? The USA is not going to invade them, Russia might, so why take any chances?
I am shamelessly bumping the thread because the title question is still valid - do we risk more being allied to Russia or being eternally hostile towards her? Food for thought...
