Dig in. All countries bordering Russia should expect invasion and establish extensive physical infrastructure and fortifications for defense. Establish underground shelters for civilians and dual use structures such as underground shopping malls and subways. Harden and move underground as many public buildings as feasible. Build ditches, berms, raised roads, and canals. Defend in depth, not just along the borders.
12:07: Exactly, how can Russia stop now? A little discussed bit of economic history is that the US dipped into a recession after WW2. The US managed well because it had a huge industrial potential and Europe needed imports after having been destroyed. The US was the only entity that could meet demand. In the present case, the rest of the world has moved away from Russian imports and has developed trusted and stable partners elsewhere. No one needs much of anything from Russia. The entire rest of the world that has any economic importance will benefit from a weakened Russia. What Europe will see is chronically impoverished Russian economic refugees with no job skills or education illegally flooding into Europe.
What nonsense. Russia is not able, and thus not willing, to fight both Ukraine and all of NATO simultanously. So at least the war in Ukraine has to be won, and we don't know when, or if ever, that will be the case. After that, Russia needs several years, still on war footing, to rebuild its forces. The Russian economy and society can't handle 10 years or so on war footing.
Poland why not negotiate and make friendly relations with Russia like Hungary,instead of living in such constant fear of Russia.whats the point of keeping great relationships with US and other countries so far and making enemies in your own neighbourhood.
Wow talk about living in a bubble. Perhaps you are an AI since you seem to lack simple reason. Ukraine tried desperately to have good relations with Russia but it turned out that Russia wanted to control all and everything in Ukraine. Hungary is only safe as long as Putins troops are not close to the border. Putins ego nows no boundaries and since the majority of the Russian people are cowards that support him, unfortunately it is up to the west to teach him a lesson. Poland and the Baltics are completely right in preparing.
Excellent discussion. Thank you.
I do appreciate the cold realism with which the word "horde" is used by Mr. Navys. He makes a good point.
If Russia wins, totally possible after few years of stockpiling.

The Russian annexations of territories won't stop at Ukraine, Georgia & Moldova. The Baltic States are just so slow on perception.

What rock are you living under? Russia is already fighting all of NATO, and they have demilitarized & beaten them.
The Russian intelligence services are actively promoting political destabilization through central and eastern europe - its not nonsense
La Russia è al collasso strategico militare ed economico

Don’t be stupid, he’s just trying to draw attention away from his crimes in Ukraine! Smarten up
you're talking a load of crap, just stirring it up, this sort of remark starts wars.
Why don't you see what Putin's Siloviki has said about reclaiming Alaska... Putin is an irrendentist and empire builder. Wake up.

Makes no sense.. US is miles and miles away but that’s who they want you to have a relationship with
Why doesn't Russian act normal and be a contributing member of society? Stop your bullshit

Because Poland enjoys being ruled by Poland and not Russia.
Katyń. Look it up. ... We remember quite well what it's like to surrender to you.
Ура Россия 🇷🇺 Путин ура!!!!!
