An attack on Poland would immediately invoke NATO Article 5, drawing in the combined forces of continental Europe, the UK, the US and Turkey. The world wouldn't need to worry about it going nuclear, conventional forces would have the Russians back over the Belarusian border by lunchtime.
Mango Fucking Mussolini would abandon Poland like the British and French in 1939. Fuck Russia and the MAGAts, this German supports the European NATO members and especially our neighbors to the east. If the motherfucking Muscovites attack, I will request to be reinstated and do whatever I can to stop the filthy bastards.
I love the optimism
Unfortunately that's not necessarily what article 5 implies. It only states that the member nations will respond, not how exactly they will respond.
This is what I fear will happen when Canada is annexed. The other NATO members will express outrage, but who's going to launch an invasion across the Atlantic against the most powerful armed forces in the world to liberate Canada?
They will voice concern.
They will send a strongly worded letter to Putin.
Then article 42 of the EU
I would love to believe you but looking at the sleepy AF response when Europe decided to help Ukraine...
Yeah, no, Poland is a buffer. Again.
Oh damn, I wasn't aware Ukraine was part of NATO
Ukraine not being a NATO member yet is most likely among the main reasons Putin had the balls to send troops across the border. There's absolutely no way he'd risk a full-on confrontation with NATO, because he knows it would be the end of the Russian Federation.
If you think the poles won't get betrayed I have a bridge to sell you
If Ukraine was NATO, we'd be out in all force already.
It is only because we don't have a defense treaty with them that we risk the NATO treaty if any NATO country decides to send troops. Since they are essentially deciding for every NATO country to enter the war then.
But if they attack a NATO country like Poland, then that is exact what NATO is designed for and nothing is risked.
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
