Poland has stepped up in terms of protecting its own borders as well as recently providing the Ukrainian Armed Forces with weapons and aircraft. Last week, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said his nation would place U.S. HIMARS rocket artillery systems near its border with Russia's Kaliningrad region for the rest of the 2023 calendar year...Poland's increased security and defense is a big reason why, Middtun added, citing its announcement to increase defense spending from 2.4 percent to 4 percent of GDP.

Go Poland! No more being the door mat of Europe. Very good.
It’s a fact that Poland has an ultra-cringe inferiority complex regarding Germany and Europe. The CIA and state department are only too happy to masterfully exploit that national delusion to que up Poland as the next meal for the MIC. The current Polish administration have lost all touch with reality as to its dependence on Russia and their minor vassal role in Europe.
Gee I can't imagine why...
Warsaw 1945.
And then after all that to get sold out at Yalta.
Let’s say that you seem to have a weirdly anti-Polish attitude.
The current Polish government is the most anti-woke Euro government, that has the most influence in the EU. And it’s the heart and soul of the anti-Russian alliance. All for excellent reasons.
Its gone head to head vs German bureaucracy and won, over and over.
Poland - No Globohomo! No Banderists! No Putinists!
Banderist?
Weirdo. That’s Russian propaganda for Ukrainian nationalists.
“that Poland has an ultra-cringe inferiority complex regarding Germany and Europe”
You mean Germany and Russia. Poland has been the punching bag between those two for centuries. No one should blame them for wanting to defend themselves. I wouldn’t be so callous if I were you.
How about we put HIMARS on our own southern border instead?
Here we are protecting borders of Poland and Ukraine, but do nothing for our own borders.
BINGO.
And that’s all the thanks they get from saving Europe from becoming Muslime.
Poles also remember Wołyn.
LoL
You can’t win for losing here with that crew
I disagree with the premise Poland of all this that Poland is most unwoke
That would be Hungary
Poland has upgraded their military with the replacement of plow horses to Arabians.
Why wouldn’t anyone trust the chomo in chief?
Poland is a trusted ally and will have its own F-35s soon.
Poland's increased security and defense is a big reason why, Middtun added, citing its announcement to increase defense spending from 2.4 percent to 4 percent of GDP.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Poland
Poland GDP is $754 billion (nominal, 2023 est.)
2.4% is $18B
4% is $31B
An increase of $13B in Poland will change the course of the conflict.
FDR was to Stalin as Biden is to Xi.
Give them nukes. They are owed a lot of payback for WW2 and after.
