This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

What we have to be concerned about is the Pole's going rogue and finding an excuse to GO AFTER the Russians. If the Russian's would dare attack the Poles, that really is the end, I'm pretty sure the Polish Army all by itself would destroy the Russians, but with the backing of NATO it would be over quickly.
Again, the issue is making sure the Poles don't go after Belarus or the Russians here, I'm not worried at all about their ability to defend themselves.
I don't know that Putin can just go launch nukes all on his own. His oligarchs love their life and even the military who loves Mother Russia have to know it kills everybody if they go that route. I have faith in their own self preservation that Putin dies before that order gets carried out.
Let me just say i noticed that in the photo too, and am glad that someone embiggened it for me.Meow!
Yep, time is money. Russia has no money. To buy more time.
This is what we've been waiting on. Considering he's been allowed to publicly say this, dissension might be further along and more widespread than this even indicates.
So far, there's been no sign of Putin's command cracking.
I've always thought it would have to start with the men on the ground refusing to fight. The actual generals basically have guns to their kids' heads and won't defy until the end of Russia is so imminent that they choose country over family.
The boys on the ground? They've got little to lose when they're being sent into the meat grinder. If this starts, it could be a wave...it will only work if it spreads too far and wide for superiors to "discipline" them. What, is somebody going to execute their whole company?
They're not really a cold weather army
I read a post earlier that said Putin was the only person in Russian government who knows how things works due to his ego and paranoia. If that’s the case, why doesn’t some nation just drone his ass? Would his military leaders be allowed or even know how to launch nukes?
I don't think you have to worry. If there's anything the Polish are known for, it's being smart.
(just a joke...)
Polish special forces are already in Ukraine...
Yeah, truly it would be hard to keep them out. There are probably few armies more rabid to get a piece of some Russians.
I'm serious, it is only a squad or two, but they have arrived.
Cough, cough... I think you meant to say Private Military Contractors of Polish decent.

Just kidding, Devil. It's not really any worse than the part of West Davenport where @Whiskeydeltadeltatango grew up. 😁

That is how the Russians exited WWI and began their own Civil War.

I wonder how that actually works. Can one guy just actually fire them off? I would hope there are numerous failsafes involved but I have no idea.
Poland's armed forces are being modernized but are not large by most standards.
Per Wiki-
The Polish Armed Forces consist of 114,050 active duty personnel.[1] In 2020, troop strength in the five different branches was as follows:

Largest Militaries in Europe Dataset

Reason #69 why I love HROT: I've posted a lot of things in this thread, and my most liked post was simply saying "nice" to being on page 69.
My guess is most European leaders knew it wasn’t so much an American problem as a f*ckface Trump problem.
See where Ukraine armed forces size are second only to Russia in Europe. They are said to have 900,000 reserves! If anywhere near that number can get involved in the near future Russia has to be screwed right?
I’m proud of you, bud.
