I'm not worried in the slightest they'd invade Poland.The idea that Russia could threaten any European or NATO country has been thoroughly debunked by their abysmal performance in Ukraine. They threw their very best troops and mercenaries at Kyiv and yet never managed to take it, and have been kept at a stalemate by an army using old Western military equipment.
Russia have been built up as a scary bogeyman who could sweep through Europe but the actual truth on the field has been very different and they clearly never had a chance against a fully equipped, modern army - and even less so now they’ve lost so much equipment and so many of their best soldiers.
What strikes fear into me is Russia lengthening its land border with NATO and a disastrous miscalculation or accident making things going nuclear a clearer threat.
It's shocking Putin is willing to send his own people to die at war. He's no patriot, just a horrible dictator.
It was so obvious he was going to blame the ISIS attack on Ukraine/the west.
@RussianYellow no need to reply to this as I know politics isn't your thing. But to what extent do you think an "average" (if that makes any sense) Russian person believes what Putin/Russia media says.
Seeing as anyone who shows obvious opposition to Putin winds up dead, disappeared or in hiding, do you believe there could ever be an internal uprising?
