If only someone could have seen it co... oh wait

Otherwise, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin would be sitting in Kyiv with his eyes on the rest of Europe. Starting with Poland, she said. And why dont you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch?

If Putin attacks Poland, the biggest difficulty would be convincing the Poles not to chase down the Russian troops all the way back to Moscow when they retreat.

Poland was annihilated by Russia in WW2 then brutally suppressed by Stalin afterwards.

To say they aren't friends of Russia is an understatement .

Ukraine is like that too. But they don't have 30 years of American help with their military like Poland thanks to NATO.

Poland's hate for Russia goes way, WAY further back than that.

When you look up about their history, it's no surprise that Poles around WW2 had this macabre joke:

"I kill Nazis before Soviets. Because business must come before pleasure."

Give it two to five years and I would bet money this will be the state of the world.

Russia vs Europe
China vs various East Asia and Pacific nations (after having defeated Taiwan)
America vs Mexico and Canada, potentially also vs Blue States
Israel vs large swathes of the Middle East

There's your world war. The precursors for all of these conflicts are either already happening or are having their foundations laid right at this very moment.

The moment the USA elected Trump who is removing the US from its position as the worlds primary super power a hot war involving Russia vs Europe became inevitable (unless they end up defeated in Ukraine, but that possibility was also almost removed from play with Trumps election as well), and the chances of China making a big grab in its neck of the woods also became very real. There's a power vacuum and those are always filled.

There are other factors that increase the odds of a world war as well. The Western powers are headed towards an economic crash and the new Axis will take advantage.

Protestants do. And most if not all the top elite Republicans are Protestants besides JD Vance. But lots of Republican voters are catholic. They feel like they have to vote republican because of the anti abortion stance

Yes, I would say the party over all doesn't like Catholics but they accept lots of their votes. I do think though that eventually, if project 2025 is fully accomplished and we live in Handmaid's Tale, Catholicism will get suppressed. Once elections aren't needed anymore

I heard a joke once

A Polack once found a magic lamp and rubbed it until a genie popped out
"You have three wishes", the genie said

The Pole responds "I wish that the Mongols rise up, invade Poland, and then return home"
Genie: "And for your second wish?"
"I wish that the Mongols rise up, invade Poland, and then return home"
Genie: "okay, strange but go ahead with your third wish"
"For my final wish, I wish that the Mongols rise up, invade Poland, and then return home"

Genie: "okay, what's wrong with you? They're going to ruin your country three times"
Pole: "Yes, but they'll go through Russia six times"

While i would prefer not to go to fullscale war, this cannot go unanswered.
More Sanctions isn't gonna help, what is there even left to sanction?

In my opinion they should announce that all airspace violations and other such attack will be answered in kind, at the very least

I heard a suggestion that a no-fly zone should be established within Ukraine, ensuring that any Russian drone that comes within 50 kms of Poland's border is intercepted by Polish jets.

There is a popular HoI4 mod set in the 2020s where all of this happens, pretty much exactly like this.

Poland has called on NATO to invoke Article 4. Which is where the alliance will convene a meeting and probably send Russia a strongly worded letter.

Russia will continue to do this until it's proven that it's not in their interest to do this. The West needs to step up and formulate some sort of military answer.

Oh, yeah in my native Swedish, the word "Polack" just means person from Poland
I had no idea that's supposed to be a slur
The term "Polish person" is such a mouthfull
I guess "Pole" works, but it feels awkward for some reason

But thank you for the warning

It'a derogatory term in North America, then again some words we use in the Rest of The World as slang for things and I'm not talking about nationality or race based terms but general stuff such as names of food items, North Americans find them offensive. Different words have different meanings, plus terms change over time.

One such example was used in medical textbooks and even street names then people got offended by it as the years went by.

I wonder, do we think there'll ever be a generation in the future that isn't offended by certain non nationality/race terms?
