So if Putin sends tanks and infantry into Poland and Lithuania in order to ensure the safety of Russians and Ukranians from the training bases that Putin claims are there, is there anyone who can or will stop him?
Do these countries have a standing army that can defend against an invasion? Do these countries have Citizen soldiers with sufficient arms to hold off a takeover of their country by a Russian puppet regime?
In the end, the only defense against tyranny is a well armed citizenry.
Any country that takes arms from their citizens is inviting either an invasion or the establishment of a brutal tyranny.
Lech Walesa had lots of friends. I’m guessing they’d not lie down.
As far as our 2nd amendment, I think we’re among the few places in the world with such a realistic view of human depravity. I’d like to believe individuals have armed, but I wouldn’t put money on it.
I was in Poland in about 1998 with a friend, a US Chaplain who was a Pole who had become a naturalized US Citizen. We visited his home; his brother had been jailed due to his participation in the Solidarity movement....famous in their home town and had become its mayor. That family has absolutely no desire to come under the Soviets again.
