As The Week's Crispin Black reports, at least 7,000 Polish workers in Europe have received call-up papers as army reservists in the last few weeks. Polish authorities dismiss it as "routine" but the men note this has never happened before.

As The Week's Crispin Black goes on to note,

They’re told by the Polish authorities that the call-ups are “routine”: but the men say they haven’t been asked before and they’re well aware of the growing alarm in Warsaw at President Putin’s aggression.

Good God people, Putin isn’t going to invade Poland.

I remember you. In 1939 you told us "Good God people, Stalin isn’t going to invade Poland."

If poland goes to assist Ukraine, and their troops are attacked in Ukrainian or Russian territory, can Poland invoke Article V of the NATO charter?

Are France and Great Britain coming to Poland’s aid or will this be a Sitzkrieg again?

Was it patton who said that we’ll have to fight the Russkies eventually? We have been so naive about Russia.

Perhaps not. But I can understand perfectly if the Poles would prefer not to take our word on it.

Mark this down:

There will be a Rearmament Bill out of the Bundestag before the end of the year.

Europe needs the Wehrmacht back in the worst way. The Bundeswehr they’ve got is okay, but won’t cut it.

They won’t call it the Wehrmacht, of course, but everyone will know what it is.

Best,

Chris

They like to wait until AFTER Poland is under the yoke until they want to do something.

Thanks to Hitler’s antics, we were allies with them.
