Russians are a reprobate and dissolute people.

Probably not. But the Poles gave the Nazis a hard time in 1939, and resistance only collapsed when the Soviets invaded from the east.

If, heaven forbid, there is another war, Poland will have allies at her back this time.

Perhaps not in numbers, but I wouldn't want to be the Russian to step over that line. The Poles have a lot of tanks.

Thats right, they are severely short of equipment.
And the military establishment is small. I don’t know to what degree they are able to mobilize even with obsolete equipment.
They have just two brigades with Leopard 2 series and perhaps 50-70 more or less modern fighters.
Even Ukraine is far more formidable, on paper.
Their local allies (Lithuiania, Latvia, Estonia) are much worse equipped.

We haven't got nukes and this is actually the only advantage that Russia has.

Yet, history taught us something. Faith in God and morality is more powerful than tons of steel.

Before the Islamic Army attacked Poland at Khotim in 1673, sultan Mehmed IV sent a chest of sand with a message to the king of Poland, Jan III Sobieski -"Surrender! It's pointless to resist. We are as numerous as the sand in the chest".
In return, king Sobieski sent a small box with grains of pepper adding the note, "We aren't as numerous as the sand. We are like the pepper in the box. Think twice before you try to bite us".

As a result of the battle, out of 35,000 Ottoman Janissaries, 30,000 were killed on the spot and only a few thousand managed to escape in panic and chaos from the battlefield. Poland lost less than 300 soldiers.

I think this should be very educative to all of the Russian admirers:

Catholic Poland repels the Communist invasion of Europe, A.D. 1920 (Poland vs Soviet Union)

Catholic Poland repels the Islamic invasion of Europe, A.D. 1672-1683 (Poland vs Ottoman Empire)
