What waste of money over paranoia

@twisters999 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

We have to.

@masoodahmed1972 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Russia has been invaded by the West 3times .

@jasbindersingh2441 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Yes poland.. has decided that any borrowing in the service of expanding defence…is excluded from borrowing restrictions.
Borrow ( print ) as much as you like

@jasbindersingh2441 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

I know polish guys …property owners.. who've told me when the war comes….they're heading to Spain.😂😂😂

@d1d234 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Poland will stick with the United States. Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul 2 made sure of that!

@moseshamlett3887 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Then why dont they use it? Instead of everyone in Europe crying for the US to come save them. You got such a mighty war machine do you Poland? Well??? Is it just for show?

@vittoriosecreto6346 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Amazing how the Poles long for war with Russia. They might get it in the end.

@EarlofCrawford April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

And we should pay attention to why

@AIJimmybad April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Poland doesn't have to worry about a Trojan horse army from within.

@avrilcrisp5725 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Poland has used the EU to it's fullest whilst refusing to kowtow to them. Brilliant government, protecting their country for their people.

@adamthorntonillustration9281 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

No one can begrudge Poland for doing this, considering the true horrors she went through in her history.

@dongene6219 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

And the Russians would still destroy thwm

@themsmloveswar3985 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

If Andrew Marr is praising you, then you are in serious trouble.

@walkingandadventures6114 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Yes because they are not spending billions on migrants..

@megasayajinsongoku99 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Poland is doing an awesome work in increasing its military, but the greek armed forces are in regard of tanks and airforce still much beyond.

It is because Greece borders to Turkey and so did not fall in the trap of the other EU nations.

Greece , Poland , France ,Italy are pillars of EU defense and they played an important role in the rearming of Europe. The UK also will play a role. There should be more economic and defense cooperation between Greece and Poland.

@kriswiwatowski4697 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Poland army is not too bad, but Poles will not fight for Brits, French or Germans in Ukraine. Period.

@rogerhudson9732 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Fought very well at Monte Cassino, the UK gave 120,000 Poles naturalised Citizenship in 1947, we are good allies.

@michaelmazowiecki9195 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Yes, we Poles take our defense very seriously for both historical and current military geographic reasons.

@paulnutter1713 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

thats what you can do if youre not supporting millions of immigrants

@Fiaps70 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

That won’t help them against Russia lol

@macmachine April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Poland. Smartest country in EU. Virtually no immigration. Already tooled up against Russia. Now that's keeping it together.

@alextsi7210 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Relax. Poland doesnt even reach the level of Greece and Turkey.

@sgebert April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Dear viewers please don't forget the value of truth. This video is a lie. Poland doesn't have the largest army in mainland Europe and it takes 2 seconds in Google to check. Russia has the largest, then Ukraine, Turkey, France and if you count in the fact that Poland's 216,000 includes territorial defence (who aren't soldiers), then Germany too has a larger army than Poland. I'm reporting it for disinformation I suggest you do the same

@emmajones7742 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

I don't think poland is next door to russia, there's Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia. Russia would have to go through Belarus or Ukraine or Latvia to get to Poland. So I don't thing Russia would contemplate attacking Poland.

@viola1699 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

If Polish media report that we only have enough ammunition for five days of war — based on usage rates observed in Ukraine — then someone is clearly not telling the whole truth.🤔

@UsmanKhan-ty4bg April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Well I mean more tanks than Italy Germany is not really an achievement. Britain has 243 tanks in total. Also they are on purpose not mentioning that Turkey has a much much bigger army than Poland.

@AA-fi5nj April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Not surprising given Poland's history. Poland and the Czech Republic have always had to deal with foreign invasion throughout its history, and it's not about to get itself caught with its pants down this time around.

@pardone8932 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Yea Poland is not allowing 1939 ever again

@dadsvideos7872 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

So depressing.

@philiphorn4973 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

It’s very simple.. Poland have their game together.. 👍🏼💪🏻

@kapitankapital6580 April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Yes, because they share a border with Russia and Belarus.

@parsaeye April 14, 2025 - 3:58 pm

Shows the short-sightedness of Western Europe…
