The Polish armed forces are training citizen volunteers how to be armed partisans, firing rifles and donning gas masks.

That’s… not great. The program is apparently popular, so they are expanding its capacity so that every adult male receives the training.

    Mate, I am not speaking about armed response but overall response. Europe was straight up sleeping. We are underarmed and our response times suck, and historically Poland always was seen as comfortable buffer zone.

      I love your extremely oversimplified to the point of being ridiculous type response

        Nothing is a cliche when it happens to you. I would argue if you were in poland, and especially with the knowledge how poland has been consistently fucked over by it’s “allies” your stance might differ.

        It’s easy to go into semantics when you are not one day’s ride away from firing guns.
