MODERATORS
Considering the videos I've seen from Poland, it kinda feels like they're actually preparing for a massive war.
I mean, they wouldn't wanna be standing with their pants down
They'd be stupid if they weren't. There's a hot war involving a global / regional power happening on their border and the best way to keep it on the other side is to be prepared to repel any and all boarders.
That would be the most stupid military decision since the most recent Ukraine invasion.
Not doing so would be.
To be clear we're talking about preparing for war, not starting one.
I mean, Putler is known for making stupid military decisions so...
which videos?
Never seen these videos taken by people of huge columns of tanks going to the borders?
No, I haven't seen them, I've been trying to stick to this fedaverse shit and not go back to reddit.
Post some sources/links brother
I usually see those on Telegram so I can't find any shareable link.
But you can find sources stating what I said with a simple Google search.
Umm...I hate to be the one to break it to you: see, there is this country called Ukraine. Small place. Next to Poland. Also next to Russia. Ukraine and Russia are currently, how should I put it...they are having a MASSIVE FUCKING WAR rn. So their neighbors are preparing for the inevitability it will spill over into Europe and Middle East.
It's astonishing you managed to be so fucking toxic without adding nothing new to the discussion and without even understanding the context of this decision.
After Wagner PMC tried they small coup, Putin or whoever it was, ordered them to be stationed in Belarus, and many of these mercenary troops are actually quite close to Poland's borders. This and the fact Russia is moving part of its nuclear arsenal to Belarus triggered Poland into moving massive numbers of military assets to its borders recently.
