    Poland won’t, but according to Hitler in September 1st, 1939, Nazi Germany was defending itself from Polish attacks.

    I think putin is thinking of forcing Belarus with Wagner to attack Poland and see how NATO will react when the threat would be war with Russia (if NATO will respond, which I hope it will, I think Belarus will get the same help as Armenia).

      I think NATOs response would have to be a strong, decisive one. No NATO member wants the Alliance to look weak. Nobody wants World War III, either, but I think they’d conclude that showing weakness is riskier than calling Putin’s bluff.

        Thats the one lesson we’ve learned, these pricks believe we are too afraid to fight, it’s like playing poker when you have more chips so you just outbid the other guy out.

        We are orders of magnitude stronger, but when the assumption is that we won’t stand up for anything they don’t see a downside.

        Bullies always push until you push back, always.
