Russia planning attack on Poland to test Nato resolve, US warns

Big doubt on that assessment.
Poland is one of the most “never again will we be the victims”-culture (aside of Finland). They are armed to the teeth and won’t fuck around.
Poland doesn't even need us to intervene, they will rock Putin's shit before asking for help.
Russia is actually in a pretty bad position right now. They are at an inflection point and losing the war, all things considered.
My biggest question is how Moscow will eventually concede this fact. I don’t think they will and it’ll likely end up as either a nuke being used or internal revolt and revolution
If nothing changes, in six months, there will be mass famine and near ubiquitous collapse within Russia.
Poland doesn’t need to do anything
There won't be a nuke, that's just fearmongering. There will also be no revolt of any kind, the vast majority of russians are ok with the war, they want it to end but only in their favour, because they are always given somebody to fuck over beneath them - ethnic minorities, queer people, ukranians, etc. For a revolt they would genuinely have to start starving (which I highly doubt would be allowed to happen) and even then it would be a revolt against an incompetent war monger dictator, not against the dictatorship and war as a whole. The military would most likely seize the control of the country and we would have Myanmar 2.0. It is somewhat of a collapse, especially if some municipalities decide to go rogue, more so chechnya than any others, but the country itself would most likely just remain in an extremely poor as-is state with crime through the roof like what they had in the 90s, if not worse.
How in tune are you with the current situation in Russia right now? I’ll assume not much because a year ago I’d agree with you. Hell even 8 months ago.
There are gas shortages and rationing across the entire country. Truckers abandoning shipments as they run out of gas, farmers cannot operate there equipment (with the harvesting season coming soon). Civilians in Moscow cannot find gas, mass stealing of others fuel out of their vehicles, 2 day fuel lines spanning miles in places far away from the front line. It’s so bad they’ve set up portable toilets on the side of the road…
Russia, the gas station of the world cannot provide fuel for citizens in their capital city. They are now having to import from Kazakhstan, Belarus, and India. But even that wouldn’t amount to more than 3-4% of their monthly usage.
Wanna see a revolt? That shit is on the near horizon…
Sir, one „internal revolt and revolution” as take away please.
If things in Ukraine aren’t going according to plan, that would be a monumental ass kicking.
Is finnland really that hard on this culture? I know only a bit about the civilic culture but not the militarism culture of finland
Consider that everyone is conscripted, afterwards in the reserve, rifles are stockpiled, bunkers build under public buildings (like swimming halls), the artillery is the biggest of Europe and the Forest bordering Russia a kill-house that waits to get lid on fire.
Yea. I think that is culture.
Also.. sisu
Sisu is extraordinary determination in the face of extreme adversity, and courage that is presented typically in situations where success is unlikely
sir, that's just nordic switzerland. Next you're telling me that they also build every infrastructure with pre-planned places for explosives to blow them up in case of war?
We Germans used to do that as well, but the frontline shifted, so it became Polands burden.
I would just like to add: Perkele
Didn‘t find a Perkele-Gym shirt.. printed my own 🙃
Cultural appropriation 🤌
🧐
Says the known lying right wing Torygraph, reporting what the fascist US says, about their forever enemy Russia.
I'm sure this is completely legit, with no ulterior motives at all...
That would be a very quick war for them
It wouldn't be a war, Poland would be stupid to escalate it and so would Russia. Poland would give them a slap, if anything.
By definition it would be. But yes, it would be a Denmark-Style roadtrip
Paywall no thanks.
