Poland will not be attacked by Russia. Poland is not a border state lying on the historical invasion routes into Russia’s heartland. If you look, all the dominos have been falling to NATO. The last two dominos left to fall are Ukraine and Belarus. Russia will fight WWIII to prevent NATO armor sitting directly in its border. The Baltic States are not nearly so provocative or destabilizing. Under similar circumstances, the US would have long ago stopped a similar encroachment of the most powerful alliance the world has ever seen. Especially if that alliance was as virulently anti American as NATO is anti Russian. Absolutely we would have gone to war. Look at our track record.
They did in WW2 didn’t they?
Historically though I would feel a bit antsy having been swallowed by Germany or Russia over the centuries. Yeah, I just can’t get too worked up like everyone else around the world is. Seems to be the anti-Russian sentiment didn’t start until Hillary was losing the 2016 election. Everyone seemed to fine with Putin, even suggesting a reset of relations, then suddenly we are being told there are Russian trolls all over Facebook.
It is a crime to acknowledge that Russia has concerns that are legitimate to them. That makes it impossible to negotiate a compromise. This will not end well.
