Please stop posting ill-informed opinions as facts. You want recent history? Let's talk about Georgia. This idea that NATO will do something, is based on theory, based on the ideas on a piece of paper. And it is ignorant. It isn't based on history, and it has certainly never been tested to this degree. Regardless, Ukraine isn't in NATO. And Europe is dismissing this the same they dismissed Hitler's annexation of Czechoslovakia. They are talking about solving this through diplomacy. It is just laughable. The immediate response should have been pouring troops into Ukraine. Then, and only then, Putin would have backed off. Speaking of ill-informed opinions as fact. 2014 - 1939 does not equal 100 years. And there were a lot of countries involved in the events leading up to WW2. Poland, France, the Soviet Union and Germany were all involved diplomatically or military in the invasion of Poland. There isn't any more major players involved now in this crisis either. Sure every little country has given their opinion, but there are only a few major players. And I'm not even sure will America will act. | ||

I wonder what would you say if u were down here pretty damn close to the action. We (Polish) have lived that through once already in history so it is obivous that our militaries want to prepare for the worst. And stop being a dick please, | ||

What do you think of the guys Kyiv has appointed as leaders in the East? Are you relatively happy with them or prefer some other leaders? | ||

Please, tell me more about how you brought democracy to Iraq, Afghanistan and Lybia. And tell me how is democracy working out for you? Every x years (don't know where you live), you get the chance to vote for one out of two parties. Both will do basically the same thing, except for a couple of unimportant issues. You really don't get a say about anyting. We are pretty far away from the greek (or athenian) democracy. On March 04 2014 03:20 Dangermousecatdog wrote: The Polish military seems to think so. Or at least preparing for the possibility. Perhaps you know something they don't know? I am making the assumption that Russia wouldn't be as stupid as invading a country that is right next to Germany... lol | ||

The NATO had no guarantees for protecting Georgia in case one of their military gambles misfires and they suddenly have to face the result of their own attacks. It was an georgian offensive, that attacked separatist AND Russian (UN) peacekeepers... Yeah, looks like Georgia wasn't the only ones with am army around the corner... Even though the buildup of the whole scenario was quite set up, still, it was Georgia who gambled... and lost. They had requested guarantees by the west before and did not get them... So thinking, if they present facts, they would suddenly get help... yeah... smart ones. | ||

I said it to people being ironic about people worrying that Russia might invade Poland, not directly to you, sorry. I simply have no idea how did you imagine Polish reaction to all that stuff happening around other than preparing for invasion. | ||

The EU knows, that in the long term one more bunker to defend a cheese and then turn it into a macrogame is the way to win, as superior player... Countercheesing can occasionally go horribly wrong. And the Russian economy is on a suicide mission against the EU... | ||
