Putin is testing us. He tries to destroy western democracy and sows division.

What an idiotic statement by Harris. Poland won’t be next, since Poland is in NATO.

I currently live in Canada but I was gifted land and a house outside of Częstochowa as a wedding gift from my wifes family.
Weird feeling having somewhere of mine being threatened, heart goes out to the people of these beautiful countries being threatened.

We knew this since Russians got out after USSR fell. It was a toss up between us, Ukraine or Baltic state.

hahaha Poland no no way. But baltic countries? For sure they can in couple of years.

The current war is certainly dragging on longer than it should so it’s not far fetched to imagine they don’t want to stop

Well duh. Should be common sense. But unfortunately not for our Olaf.

That was the most baffling part of this to me. He had 2 chances to say he supported Ukraines sovereignty, and he completely avoided it. I don’t know why this is sticking with me so much over the other insane shit he said. It’s so bizarre that he lies about verifiable information, but when he could simply lie and get away with it, he just makes himself look worse by avoiding the question entirely, lol.
It’s truly puzzling, and I can’t think of any reason other than he’s a fool, or Putin has so much on him that he won’t even lie just to save face publicly.

Moldova is a more likely target before Poland.
Five_Decades on
General Petraeus felt that Moldova would be next on Putin’s list.
Poland has a pretty strong military, probably the strongest in eastern europe. And Russia’s military is already decimated by Ukraine. I feel Putin would either hit Moldova or one of the baltic states next.
Exciting_Trash3943 on
It was a brilliant move. First because it’s true, Russia is 100% a threat to Poland. Two, there are large Polish populations in most of the swing states.
It’s almost like she prepared for this debate.

They can barely take Ukraine. It’s crazy to think they’d try to go into a Nato country. Not saying it’s impossible but very doubtful. It’d be the stupidest thing Putin could do. This is just fear mongering at its best.

I am 101% for Ukraine, but this makes no sense.
The reason Ukraine was attacked is because it wasn’t part of the EU and NATO. Poland is part of both institutions, and if Russia attacked them they would have to fight the whole of the west DIRECTLY, which they know they can’t.
There is 0% chance of Poland being attacked. Even more so if you consider the fact that Russia has lost more than 2/3rd of their armored vehicles stockpiles including artillery and tanks, and that they’re losing more every day. They won’t be ready for another war for a while.
But Russia will indeed attack another country after Ukraine, and that is Moldova. Moldova has a very weak military, an armed separatist group of ethnic russians (which gives them the same cassus belli they’ve used against Ukraine and Georgia), and likewise, it isn’t protected by the EU or NATO.

It better, when your opponent is unable to commit support for Ukraine winning the war in a debate.
Absolutely insane moment of last nights debate. He truly is a Russian puppet.

Remember: The enemy is at once incredibly weak (“Russians are fighting with showels/Russians are sacking washing machines for parts/Russia is the second strongest army in Ukraine/Russia is losing thousands of men per day”) AND incredibly strong (“Russia is going to attack NATO”). Also, pacifists are ALL Putin’s agents… Read Umberto Eco Ur-Fascism for more! https://www.faena.com/aleph/umberto-eco-a-practical-list-for-identifying-fascists Why, oh why, Fascism is winning in Europe?

Invading Poland means Russia will have to fight with NATO, which is a far much bigger challenge than Ukraine alone. I doubt there is any chance Russia can ever win.

Czech Republic too, wasn’t it one of their missiles used to hit Russian mainland, I reckon it pissed them off. Poland would be peak

Putin would have to call NATO’s bluff on their “all for one and one for all “ clause. If they didn’t all come and help, NATO would collapse and that is really what Putin wants, either by Trumps doing or his own actions.

Russia suggested that too funnily. Why shouldn’t we believe them?

She’s not wrong though, every fascist wants territory if you give them even a single square foot of land for free. EU and the west should have be united on this. Another stupid military operation because of Putin’s idiotic reason to recreate the USSR should be a swift military action against Russia. Resurrect Schwarzkopf if they have to and recreate Operation Desert Storm against Russia.

She really impressed me with her grasp of world events. There was no real deep global affairs analysis or anything, but mentioning the Polish population in PA and mentioning the known fear Polish people have of Russian aggression shows she has a grasp on the issues. At minimum, she was prepared. Pretty impressive.

She’s not wrong. Putin won’t stop with Ukraine if Russia happens to win. They are hungry for as much land and power as they can get.

As it should. We need to take this seriously. Trump would give Russia Poland for a simple compliment from Putin.
