Poland has very bad geography.
Therefore, discretion on their part is most important.

Discretion has done nothing to save Poland from invasion and occupation in the past, so the Poles have no incentive whatsoever to attempt to rely on Russian discretion in the future.

well, it's not as bad as it was in 1939. In 1939 they had no real market for their western border and their eastern border was too long and besides the Pripet marshes had no "border"
After WWII, Poland was moved west 200 kilometers -- they lost a huge chunk of land in the east (Kresy) which is now the western half of Belarus and much of western Ukraine.
But this gave them a solid western border -- the Oder-Neisse river
On the East now there is a good forest in the east and mountainous regions in the south-east.
