They’ve been posturing over LGBT people existing and having hysterics over innocent civilians daring to not be white Christians fleeing into their country.Absolutely absurd. They've been preparing for exactly that.
What does that have to do with anything?They’ve been posturing over LGBT people existing and having hysterics over innocent civilians daring to not be white Christians fleeing into their country.
They haven't done much saber-rattling though. One instance I can think of.Saber rattling doesn’t make you prepared for large scale war.
It shows that they aren’t living in the real world, for starters.What does that have to do with anything?
They haven't done much saber-rattling though. One instance I can think of.
They've just been buying kit and training like crazy. They're also prepared. Ukraine stopped the Russians cold from a standing start; Poland would roll Belarus and any Russians in it.
From their government? Perhaps you could find an example or two.It shows that they aren’t living in the real world, for starters.
Oh, there’s been no shortage of posturing, especially on social media.
Yes, I also mentioned training, which the Saudis didn't think was necessary.Buying gear doesn’t mean anything. If it did Saudi Arabia would be a superpower.
You aren't paying attention, then. How's the Sumy offensive coming along? Has Povrosk fallen yet?Gee, Poland “rolled” early on last time too. Then they got rolled all the way back to Warsaw.
.....except the Russians haven’t been stopped. They are still gaining ground in Ukraine
Poland had hundreds of thousands of battle hardened veterans and still got chased all the way back to their capitol the last time time they tried.From their government? Perhaps you could find an example or two.

Landmines don't care how good your tanks are.Poland had hundreds of thousands of battle hardened veterans and still got chased all the way back to their capitol the last time time they tried.
You can count the number of Abrams tanks Ukraine has left on one hand. The idea that buying a bunch of gear would change things is rather silly.
Getting their faces pushed in. They did the same dumbass thing Ukraine did in the South in 2023.The fact the Russians are back in Sumy at all speaks volumes, yes.
Yes, and how long ago was that? What crushing victories - or any significant victories at all - have the Russians enjoyed since?Weren’t you saying that about Aviidka and Bakhmut too? What happened to them again?
So yeah, a Polish invasion would end with a bunch of very fancy burning Polish tanks. Or hey, they could send their infantry into the Pripyat Marshes to vanish like every other invader before them.Landmines don't care how good your tanks are.
Getting their faces pushed in. They did the same dumbass thing Ukraine did in the South in 2023.
Yes, and how long ago was that? What crushing victories - or any significant victories at all - have the Russians enjoyed since?
And what did they do with those victories? Oh, yeah. They overextended into a mud pit South of Povrosk that has one (1) hardball road leading back to Donetsk City, and then died like flies.
Except they're not.Yeah, people keep saying that, and the Russians seem to keep “getting their face pushed in” further and further West. Hmm....
Okay. How about any significant victories at all?This isn’t a war of “crushing victories”. America’s inability to cope if a war lasts longer than a week isn’t a flaw shared by other countries.
Sumy isn’t west of Kursk? Since when?Except they're not.
Okay. How about any significant victories at all?
Face it, dude. This isn't Stalin's Russia. They're utterly incompetent.
Sure it is. But what has Russia accomplished? They lunged forward 12 kilometers...smack into the positions Ukraine has been preparing for two years. Then they rolled back.Sumy isn’t west of Kursk? Since when?
That's not why they grabbed them. They grabbed them to take pressure off of Povrosk. It worked.Given Ukraine was apparently badly counting on those handful of settlements they grabbed for the peace table, the facts say otherwise.
You seem to still be savoring the 2023 debacle. You certainly aren't paying attention to what has been going on in the last 6 months or so.If that were true, then what, exactly, does that say about the Ukrainians, who’ve only managed a stalemate at best against them? Much less the equipment of the West, which appears to have accomplished little other than being wrecked in fancy new ways?
Telling ya, dude: Poland will roll Belarus like a drunk in the alley behind the bar.None of which, of course, changes the fact that Poland trying to occupy Belarus would be a spectacularly dumb idea.
One hopes. A front opening up in the Baltics and Poland would see Putin's head on pike.Poland is probably licking its chops right now.
You think it would take a whole day to restore Königsburg to freedom?What does that have to do with anything?
They haven't done much saber-rattling though. One instance I can think of.
They've just been buying kit and training like crazy. They're also prepared. Ukraine stopped the Russians cold from a standing start; Poland would roll Belarus and any Russians in it.
And of course the Russians could say goodbye to Kaliningrad. It would be gone in a day.
They don't have much choice. If the Baltics fall, Poland has two different fronts to defend when it's their turn in the barrel.One hopes. A front opening up in the Baltics and Poland would see Putin's head on pike.
Yes, it's very built-up in the parts that matter. If you gave a reasonable competent commander 100 troops, he could hold the port for weeks.You rhink it would take a whole day to restore Königsburg to freedom?
What “freedom”? The population is like 90 percent Russian.You think it would take a whole day to restore Königsburg to freedom?
Maybe the AFU get an invite to test their latest submersible drones?Yes, it's very built-up in the parts that matter. If you gave a reasonable competent commander 100 troops, he could hold the port for weeks.
Fortunately, this is Russia we're talking about, so that's not an issue.
(Emphasis mine).What “freedom”? The population is like 90 percent Russian.
Freedom from having intact buildings with roofs.What “freedom”? The population is like 90 percent Russian.
I wonder what results you'd get if you stuck those on some rented cargo vessels and sailed them up around Viliuchinsk in Kamchatka?Maybe the AFU get an invite to test their latest submersible drones?
Other than taking and holding large chunks of Ukraine?Sure it is. But what has Russia accomplished? They lunged forward 12 kilometers...smack into the positions Ukraine has been preparing for two years. Then they rolled back.
Throwing your men on prepared positions and pulling back a stump isn't exactly Zhukov-level strategy, is it?
That's not why they grabbed them. They grabbed them to take pressure off of Povrosk. It worked.
You seem to still be savoring the 2023 debacle. You certainly aren't paying attention to what has been going on in the last 6 months or so.
Telling ya, dude: Poland will roll Belarus like a drunk in the alley behind the bar.
The burning Abrams and Bradleys will probably make good lawn decorations, yeah.Freedom from having intact buildings with roofs.
Freedom from paying a grocery bill.
Heating costs won't be a thing, either.
So you are saying Poland didn’t learn anything from their last attempt getting trashed?(Emphasis mine).
Precisely.
I'm curious why no one has plucked the cosmodrome feather in the Russian cap over near Mongolia. Admittedly, I know little to nothing about the logistics, but it seems a high value morale target. What I am missing here in my expertise vacuum?I wonder what results you'd get if you stuck those on some rented cargo vessels and sailed them up around Viliuchinsk in Kamchatka?
I mean, it's not outside of the rules. Ukraine can strike the Russians anywhere they are to be found.
Zoom out on the map. The Povrosk Salient is TINY.Other than taking and holding large chunks of Ukraine?
They didn't say shit one way or the other. People assumed. I remember everyone though they were going for the reactor complex, which was absurd.That’s not what they were saying when they still held....any of that land.
The Russians have one thing going for them. Meat available to die in waves.If the Russians were “utterly incompetent” Ukraine should have won by now. There shouldn’t have been a “debacle” to begin with if they were as weak as routinely asserted here.
I guess we'll find out if Russia really decides to go after the Baltics this fall.Yeah, they thought they’d do that last time too. It turned into a disaster for Poland.
I'm suggesting it would be hard going for the Russians suddenly back in Poland. Or in Swedish Pomerania, for all I care.So you are saying Poland didn’t learn anything from their last attempt getting trashed?
You’d need to keep the place under permanent martial law to keep it from simply slaughtering your garrison and rejoining Russia the first chance it gets.
