Goodbye any fear Europe had of Russia. They can’t defeat Poland much less all of NATO.

I think you'll find the war is in Ukraine, not Poland. Easy mistake to make for an American.

Understandable, this can be problem even for some Poles, like the official spokeperson of previous government Foreign ministry, Paweł Jasina, who publicly said "We are the servants of the Ukrainian Nation".

Remember when that Polish minister knelt at the Bandera monument?

Defense minister Błaszczak? though i wouldn't be surprised in the least if there was more such incidents. The explanations were very funny that the banderist flag was in "other part of the monument" so it don't count, and btw that was like meter from him lol no chance he didn't saw it.

I know reading comprehension isn't everyone's strong suit, especially if English is a second language, so I'll try to clarify.

The world used to fear Russia. NATO was created to counter Russia. Now, Russia is so incompetent they couldn't even defeat just one country in NATO, Poland, much less the entire alliance. Therefore, the NATO countries have nothing to fear from Russia should Russia decide to take the war from Ukraine to NATO. This implies Russia is a paper tiger, was bluffing, and is far less powerful than anyone feared.

Hope that helps!
