Respect to Poland🇵🇱 from Korea🇰🇷 I recently learned that Poland has a lot in common with Korea in terms of history. Can't change what's already happened, but we sure can prepare for what's to come. Honored that our arsenal will help defend a fellow independent, sovereign nation.
Thanks man! I`m glad that We`re not buying just from the US. I mean US tech is great and all but it feels different when You have a deal with someone that actually knows what it means to have difficult history and uneasy borders. Stay safe over there bros ;)
When talking about the history of Poland, I would like Poland to be presented not only as conquered and as a weak country that must defend itself because everyone conquered it, but the entire history of Poland to be presented, because there was a time when Poland was also one of the most powerful country in Europe
Because they're the puppets of those who we don't name. Just like they were before WW2. They payed the price for it in Katyn though. You would think they learned by now, but naaah...
Ex 🇬🇧 military...I love the Polish.... Very brave hard working people.... They piloted the RAF planes in WWII and we have many Polish people in 🇬🇧🇬🇧 and there welcome ....
I'm Polish and I'm reading these comments and I'm impressed. I thought that the West thought about us completely differently. But this is only propaganda and thinking in stereotypes. Back to the topic. I don't know if you've heard of the 303 Squadron defending the English skies against the Nazis? There is an interesting book by a man who met Polish pilots in England and wrote a book about them: Arkady Fiedler 'Squadron 303'
And British to make a sure that they won't upset Russia they said great thank you to Poland after polish pilots helped them to defend their country..and not only that ..In whole history happened just once that country that helped other country was charged for the help that got... British charged Poland 107 650 000 in Polish gold reserves..for help that they got ...fxx twisted British
Sweden's looking pretty good in the commentary I've seen too. Well able to defend yourselves and also contributing substantially to Ukraine's defence. Kudos.
@@marcelkozlowski2943 o czym ty pierdolisz xd. Ostrzegaliśmy przed Rosją od 20 lat że chciałaby odbudować swoją strefę wpływów a Niemcy w tym czasie robiły nord stream 2 czyli ribentrop Molotov 2.0
lol google translate says "don't scare don't scare, you'll shit yourself". What does it mean practically for you guys? I took two years of Polish in college btw, and had a blast!
@@peterc4082 yeah, but so did all cavalry formations, warfare just moved past the majority of there uses. Even so, the Winged Hussars were an exceptionally successful combat unit, even during the times when cavalry was on the decline due to advances in weapons and tactics that countered them. A tradition the Polish are very proud of.
@@peterc4082they still terrorised and trolled their enemies for a few hundred years...... nothing lasts forever and no one gets to be the best of the best forever
I have lived and worked in Poland many times; definitely one of my favourite countries. I made friends with many there, and it was interesting talking about their history. They were saying that the Poles are a proud people, but that comes at a price. A joke one of them told me was that a Pole was praying and asked God “Why did you make such a beautiful place, with rivers, lakes and fertile farmland just for us?” And God answered “Wait until you meet your neighbours.” Their history is a rather sad one, at one point their nation was split up three ways between the Prussians, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires for centuries. Reborn out of the ashes of the First World War only to be invaded by the Soviet Union within weeks of the guns going silent on the Western Front. They repelled the Soviet aggression in 1920 and enjoyed a 19 year period of uneasy peace. 1939 brought the two front war between the Nazis and the Soviet Union, occupation, Operation Barbarossa, Soviet occupation and Communist rule until 1989. I think they have a right to be a little uneasy. It’s a beautiful country in a bad neighbourhood. I can fully understand their defence spending.
Well history is not only 100 years ago. At the end of the XVI's the poles where running over russia in Moscow (that period is know in russian history as the "troubled times). They are not poor little angels. They are aggressive by nature. Ask their neighbours.
The story of people of East and West Prussia before they were completely wiped out (around 12 million German people in total) their culture, their architecture, arts, language was a lot more unique and fascinating than what was replaced with after the war ended.
As a Ukranian, I can assure U that fights on polish territory was a retaliation of Poland invading neighboring countries. They attack Ukraine many times on their way to Russia and always were pushed back all the way to Poland. Not many like Poles cuz they start shit then cry when they get their asses kicked. Red Army lost 600k soldiers liberating Poland and to thank them, they rknocking down memorials of the fallen soldiers.
That's a very ignorant opinion. People learn basic history and they think they're geopolitical buffs. Things have changed massively since then. Perhaps you've heard of NATO and what it stands for. If you have, you wouldn't believe the propaganda about Russia "reclaiming former territory".
Says the clown that standing on the other side of the world, go fight for Poland not stand on the other side of the world. Myself, I care about Australia, and Australia only, I don’t give a shit about US elite hegemony fund
You must be white then. Because the Poles do not like non white people on their soils. The black soldiers will be defending and dying for the racist Poles.
As a Pole Im astonished with all the heartwarming comments from all around the world- thank you. We love our country , we as a nation are ready to defend it when such time come ( I hope not). All foreginers are welcome , we do not seek fight. But there is another proverb about us: We do not ask how many of enemies are there. We ask where they are. Cheers.
@@Darthsmith10 Yeah, but if your friends promise you to help fighting (hence name: military alliance) and someone attack you (two on one) and you really, really need help in fight, but one of your "friends" hides behind wall and other prints pamflets about guys who beat you rather than raid violently one of aggressors from behind you might be dissapointed by those assholes you called friends, would you be not?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to quickly develop the arms industry as we would like, and we buy a lot of things externally, for example, Konsberg missiles from Norway ;)
Wow, as a Pole I must say I am impressed with the quality of this video. I can see as a person who is interested in the military modernization of the Polish army that the author took a lot of effort to make this video. He captured the motivation that stands behind our massive army investment, almost as if he were a Polish citizen himself. Well done, great video!"
Fun fact, the first definitive book on bushido (way of the samurai) published in the west was dedicated to the Polish people. "In 1904, well-known Japanese writer Nitobe Inazō dedicated his book Bushido: The Soul of Japan to the Polish nation, indicating that it was a "samurai" nation."
Woah, that's badass. As a Polish-American that's lived many years and much respect for Japan, it's people, and the Samurai way, you have inspired me to finally read that book. Thank you sir.
As far as i remember Poland and Japan have unique bond due to common adversary which is Russia. That bond was based on intel exchange and espionage techniques and as a Pole im in love with Japan and Japanese people
Our pre-communist nation was a bit different. 50 years of Russian occupation have successfully killed (literally, google Katyń) our elites and intelligence. Now you can see the dumbness in our current ruling and "intellectual" class. First one signed "green deal" wich will kill our economy. Second one is defending hybrid attack on our borders (even made a movie full of lies about it) 😢
10,000+ DEAD Poland's cemeteries are filling fast with soldiers disguised as Mercs in Ukraine every Pole knows about it and most have made it clear they will not follow their insane US owned leaders to war. Pretending Poland can run with the big dog is comical like the rest of Europe everything was handed to UKRAINE MONTHS AWAY FROM TOTAL SURRENDER. KHARKIV just exposed the millions handed over to build defences has all vanished through fake companies created using the names of Ukrainian citizens who have no idea their name was used. Poor Forest still being fed the CIA handouts. Latest Russia has now taken 20 villages around KHARKIV without much of a fight the UkroNazis have fled troops left are surrendering. ZZelinsky admits reserves are all but used up. And most of the 61 billion promised stays in Israelistan to re stock US weapons all worthless 40+ year old designs noted for their battlefield failures.
This is impressive, kurwa. Europe needs a country that actually takes its defence seriously. Poland certainly does. Greetings from neighbouring Lithuania.
Poland is turbocharging every conceivable "western value" RN = It will catch up with Sweden, Germany, French and UK in "diversity" in just few years instead of decades. Getting turned into a buffer zone is paradise in comparison.
@@Aleks96 Sure but that was back when everyone was being aggro. Poland today doesn't WANT to go to war, unlike ALL of Europe back in the 1600's. They are prepared and preparing for war to avoid it. The best deterrence is a well armed population, well trained volunteer army, and well prepared country. Poland learned in WWII what the Russians will do to people even in this modern "enlightened" (ha!) era.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket everyone was also being aggro in the ww2 era, poland itself invaded their neighbors and whatever the soviets might have done there, they did get rid of the nazis.
As a Czech i am grateful to have Poland as a neighbor, thank you for being awake to the threats out piece of the world faces, is there a way to join your army in case of war instead of ours?
I love the Czech Republic! You have a great industry, nice gun laws, legalized marihuana (I appreciate it even if I'm not smoking) and you also have just as beautiful women as we have. Greetings from Cracow ☺
In Poland, Czechs are known for superb weapons and large ammunition production capacity. I think we can count on each other in case of conflict. Best regards from Warsaw
Respect for what? For their lunacy? 😅 Lied about Russians so much that believed themselves and started to prepare for something that can't technically happen.
300k isnt really gonna stop millions of russians if they reallt wanted to take it luckily russia doesnt give a shit about them, but that would hurt Polish ego to admit.
@@xentiment6581 thats 300k service members outside of actual war in a war against russia they would likely mobilize millions the same as russia and ukraine has done and they would be fighting a weakened russia if they were win the war in ukraine and then attack on from there
Poland in coordination with its allies are starting to put together a plan it appears. both political parties in the country appear to agree on one thing, defense increase
lol stolen by Russia is a cope coming from someone who doesnt know how to read a history book and doesnt know what panslavism is. an idiot's education. Russia has double the amount of nobel prize winners, famous artists, poets and scientists too, did we steal all that from poland?
Happy to see atleast one nation with a sober view on russian aggression and their want for expansion. Poland is leading the way. The rest of European nations need to step it up. Greetings from Sweden.
Finland's 900.000 troops, 1.700 primary artillery pieces, 1.000 surplus artillery pieces, 64 stealth fighter orders and bunkers for 80% of the population - are asking what needs to be stepped up, according to little brother.
@@miroslaw7105 ale żyjąc w Polsce wiemy ze Niemcy i reszta zachodniej Europy użyją nas jako zderzaka przed Rosją więc nie muszą iść w stronę potężnej armii, są wstanie poświecić nas jak i kraje nadbałtyckie (Litwa, Łotwę, Estonie) dla własnego interesu i wiele ich działań to pokazuje np. Nord Stream II, dlatego tak podchodzę do Niemiec ze jest to naród zdrajców w sojuszu działający w swoim interesie jak tylko będą zyskiwać na takowej sytuacji
From Korea with ❤. Regarding WW2, we know three things about Poland: (i) you were the first country that actually broke the invincible German Enigma code, as early as 1932; (ii) however, that still did not prevent you from being the first victim and the biggest victim of WW2 by the casualty count; and (iii) that did, however, sow the seed of eventual Allied victory by way of world's greatest tech/information transfer to Blechley Park, in the nick of time, in a Polish forest, giving and telling every knowhow to the cluelessly arrogant Brits. My take from it? You had the genius, zeal, and good heart, but lacked the physical hardware (i.e., weapons), the combined result of which was saving the world ultimately, but not yourself. I think you learned from it and are doing exactly that - getting that crucial physical hardware - so that you can save yourself as well this time, not just the world. We Koreans also know two things from our own experience: (i) the best defense always comes from the defenders' capacity to attack (ever watched Son Heung Min dribbling past German players 80 meters when the German goalie meandered into our land - only this threat should confine them to their zone); and (ii) for deterrence to work, you must overwhelm the enemy and devastate their morale, so that they don't even think of doing anything stupid. You are building exactly to that end, it seems. Poland Fighting! ❤
@dizlike6147 - Thank you, we love you so much more now! I bet you posted that from PL, not UA... What a troll.... We are in this together, if you not understand this, be free to defend your country on nearest front. @machikr - Love you man! UNITED WE'RE STAND AGAINST EVIL!
I understand why Poland 🇵🇱 is becoming a powerhouse in Europe. I don’t know much about the history before WW2 but when your country has been invaded by a ruthless (Hitler) regime like the Nazis, millions of your people dead, then immediately be taken over by someone more ruthless (Stalin) for 50 years, I’d say that’s a damn great reason to build your military so that history doesn’t repeat itself. I applaud the Polish people for doing what they have to and need to, to protect their sovereignty. God bless Poland 🇵🇱!
This is the best video I've seen discussing Poland I think ever. Given how often its misrepresented I am extremely impressed with the depth and analysis. Also, the use of polish proverbs was quite funny and a nice reference to pick up on by the polish viewers
One key takeaway is that Germany cannot be relied upon to be a key weapons supplier to the EU, they have too many restrictions on sale and resale and their production capacity is limited whereas Poland can start offering essentially the gen 4.5 (in aircraft terms) tanks and IFV's without these political shenanigans as a way to recoup costs and keep their skills and industrial base alive without solely relying on domestic orders. They also provide a cost effective alternative to the USA who for many systems has extremely long lead times or the systems they offer are near end of life and are due to be replaced by in development alternatives.
@@user-ue6zx2do2fhahaa no it‘s because bureaucracy and inefficiency. The politicians are mostly in favor of more weapons, the money is a big problem though
one key takeaway of the nonsense you are colporting is that you dont know what youre talking about. Germany is STILL and has been for decades the 5th largest weapons exporter in the world. Poland isnt even on the list. Btw the G3 is the most proliferated gun in the world aside of the AK47/74.
I was in Warsaw last month. Its a very nice, modern city. If you go there you have to know that the Polish people have no intention of allowing themselves to be made a Russian vassal.
My homecity:) Is it nice? Interesting that my grandgrandma who is still alive (93 years), she still remember the German occupation. And all folks who are reading this comment. Check from where we created the Warsaw City, and how it looks like in 1935 and how it looked like in 1944 after Uprising :(
Surveys show that Poles have opened their eyes and the majority definitely says they should not get into a war. Their leaders are puppets of the collective west, traitors to Poland itself.
@@GANRIK lol. all Powers which tried to rule Poland are dead.. litterally all. ottoman empire? dead? tsar ruSSia? dead? prussia? dead. Austr hungary? dead nazi germany? dead. soviet union? dead, Putler russia? close to collapse
In Poland there is no question mark about Russia. I have gay friend, totally "woke", leftist guy - he told, that if the time will come, he will also go to army. In Russia gays are imprisoned and got killed. It is an evil empire, the enemy for always. I like that meaning of Polish "Rzeczpospolita", the "common thing" means again a common sense for our citizens, no matter who they are, this is where we stand.
I was in Poland last summer before going to Ukraine. It is a lovely country full of amazing people who are incredibly friendly, but don't take any shit. We're lucky to have them as an ally and they're a friend worth defending.
@@janhanko7124 and what did Poland when Germany took Czechoslovakia? Backstabbed it occupying some of their lands. Luckily the Soviets did the same in 1939... unfortunately for some reason the Soviets also thought they should reward Poland with the German lands in Ostpreußen, Vorpommern, etc.
Pretty sure this guy didn't sell anything to anyone, wasn't even alive yet. Why would you try to blame someone today for the sins of their fathers?@@janhanko7124we live in the here and now dumbass.
@@Aleks96nothing has changed. Poland is hyena of EU. It was not “occupied” by USSR but rather Polish people actually voted to join USSR and entire government was compiled of Polish not Russian people. It is convenient now to say it was occupied to blame all Polish failures on Soviets.
Now you like Poland? When they were working in the UK before the Brexit, Britts hated them. They complained that Poles came to UK to work and then they took their hard earned money back to Poland. Hypocrites.
we critisized that movie when it came out, now with kathleen kennedy and woke groomers at Disney turning it into "the message", we look back and wish we had those bad star wars movies again. Disneys new strategy, produce cringe leftist propaganda with light sabers then call anyone that doesn't praise their "courage" a supremacist. the gas lighting is intense in the west yet i still rather live there than hell holes like russia or a country alligned wtih tiny bald putins russia. outside of Democrat ran cities and states it's very pleasant to live and isn't like San Fran or LA seen on tv.
@@M167A1 There is an old polish joke about a guy that finds magic bottle and genie pops up with 3 wishes. The guy says - I wish for the Mongols, all their horde, to invade poland. That is my wish, and make it three times. Genie asks - "why would you wish for that?" and the answer is: "because that means they need to go through Moscow 6 times"
Poland is aware that it is surrounded by treachery and needs to be able to defend against multiple attacks on multiple fronts and also must do offense. Remember that Poland never surrendered during WW II. While the army was defending against the Blitzkrieg, Russia invaded. The Polish army went to Africa and attacked the Axis there, then fought their way up Italy. The Polish air forces defended Dunkirk and the UK. It was evil for the US and UK to award Poland to the USSR as a prize for having started the war by invading Poland
Sir,may I have the honour to respond? Churchill only had one demand for Stalin, and that was for free elections in Poland after the war. Stalin always said “yes” until the red army occupied Poland and he then installed his own government. We weren’t helped by the USA because Roosevelt thought keeping Stalin happy was more important than Polands liberty. Roosevelt was desperate for Stalin to join the war against Japan, but that is no excuse. We British were horrified by Polands fate as we had fought side by side with Poles since the start of the war. The best fighter pilots in the RAF were the two Polish squadrons, we remember the Polish victory at Monte Cassino, the destruction of the Germans at the Falaise Pocket and General Sosabowskis paratroopers rescuing our paratroopers at Arnhem. My country owes Poland a debt of honour that is too big to ever be repaid,but I believe we will stand with Poland forever. God bless Poland from 🇬🇧
I agree with you. Poland is surely aware that her current allies are undergoing internal strife, and could possibly be completely unable to function as allies as they deal with internal threats. These allies could suddenly become enemies when internal political shifts occur.
@@erikriza7165we didn’t give it to him,he conquered it with his red army. What were we supposed to do? Start ww3 while still fighting ww2 against the Japanese?
I agree with everything you said, except that the US & UK were evil towards Poland. Please tell me what they could've done to change what happened?? Stalin wasn't removing his army's without a fight & neither the US nor UK could've taken the country without all out war with Russia & nobody wanted that
British here. Met a lot of Poles as when they joined the EU, all the smart, motivated ones got passports and spread abroad where they 1) Got Jobs, 2) Learnt other languages, 3) Networked. Many of those motivated Poles became older, muiltilingual, financially secure, globally Networked and returned home, where in my head they can meet up in golf clubs and at school reunions. Know what that seems like to me? Fuel for a powerful Intelligence Agency. The EU turned Poland from a farming backwater into a modernized nation. Then I heard Peruns research on the Polish Military spending. Consider all the domestic barriers / issues that France and Germany have. Spain too. Italy is permanently broke. I believe the future of the EU will be Polands to determine and thats fine by me.
In ww2 no nation fought harder than Poland,and no nation got less out of the war. Many Poles fought with the British army and earned an😊unequalled reputation for courage and competence. The best squadrons in fighter command during the Battle of Britain were Polish. A army saying was that every division needs good intelligence officers,and the best were Polish. If you had one Polish intelligence officer in your division,that’s all you needed. Any NATO unit would be happy to fight alongside the Poles.
В Советский армии, против немцев тоже сражалась польская армия. Во второй мировой войне французы, испанцы, венгры, румыны, словаки... сражались против советской армии и союзных войск. И что из этого? Если начнется третья мировая война будет подобная ситуация, все перемешается, кто был другом, станет врагов и наоборот.
@@Goorood A clown would make a statement like that. Poland was under occupation for how many hundreds of years? Poles fought on every side of every war in Europe, in the name of their occupier. They gain their independence, stop the communists from spreading to the rest of europe and conquering Poland in 1921. 19 years later WW2 breaks out. In those 19 years they had to rebuild their country and prepare for a war meanwhile their neighbors have an easy 100 year head start in terms of factories and industry. In those 27 days they fought the Germans in the West, South and North. 15 days after the Nazis invaded, the Russians said HELLO from the east. Molotov ribbentrop pact, cha ching. Poles fight in practically every major European battle in the western front afterwards, conquer monte cassino, and in return they arent allowed to march in the victory day parade. The brits even charged them IN GOLD from every single round of ammunition and etc used during the war. Your ancestors should have used condoms.
RAF 302nd and 303rd squadrons, WW2 - Experienced Polish fighter pilots in exile who were unable to stand up to the Luftwaffe using Polands 1920s aircraft but did exceptionally well once in the newer Hurricanes.
Hi, from Poland I just wanted to say how it is kind of ironic when you started to say about invasions of Poland and begun with the footage of battle of Grunwald. The Greatest victory in Polish history, when we invaded Teutonic Order + the largest battle in medieval history of european continent.
As a Canadian Army Vet, hearing what Poland plans on doing with almost the same population and a third of our GDP makes me cry in my cornflakes. Good on them. Maybe we need a US heavy division to camp on our doorstep, to provide context??
@@karo2090 Careful: Canada is in the top 10 of countries with the most resource (other countries are by the way China, Iran and Venezuela - and of course Russia on place 1 with vast distance to second place USA - which mainly got coal and timber left, though). With US fascism running out of oil and gas and their plan to conquer Russia brutally failing, Canada could easily become an easy victim for the blood- and oilthirste empire.
*_"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum."_* - The original Latin of the expression "if you want peace, prepare for war" comes from the book "Epitoma Rei Militaris," by the Roman general Vegetius (whose full name was Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus). Thank you, Google. So, nothing has changed throughout history - and there are quotations for that too. Poland is totally sensible.
polish national motto is "make as many patriotic videos as possible to make the plebs believe in the power of poland". In fact, if Ukraine had not stopped russia, russian troops would have reached the English Channel becouse Western folks do not want to die in war.
Damn! You are really hitting your stride, Cappy! Another excellent video and discussion of an evolving issue. Poland may have challenges in meeting its current objectives for defense and the social sector, but it’s at least got the right attitude. Much more confident in Poland doing what’s necessary than Germany, for example. Also, Poland doesn’t have to go it alone outside of the defense sector. Much of its planning will require a large, highly trained workforce. People everywhere are looking for good, well-paying jobs, and I’m sure many would be willing to fill in any gaps in that area where available. Great video, look forward to the next!
God bless Poland! Cheers from Spain! Amazing country and imo they are paving the future for the rest of Europe defending their borders and traditions from all threats.
Lmao defending borders and traditions? You are fighting for globalists who want to destroy your race and culture with waves of 3rd world immigrants and refugees. Russia doesn't have any interest in invading Poland. You've got the wrong enemy.
@@Rapture-nv5vjand now you lost entire cedibility. PiS was awfull but new ones arent better. PiS cared about money, coalition (especially ,,Lewica") cares about destruction of culture and human lives...
900.000 Finnish troops and 300.000 Polish troops stand on that wall, while Italians, Spaniards, Germans and French chase skirts. How about making them pay for protection provided...
@@denkigama5331 It's true, Italy still makes business with Russia even though EU strictly prohibits that and the same goes for Hungary. It's high time to stop shilling for Putin and pick a side - you're either with or against those post-soviet butchers.
Exactly, Western countries don't give a damn what will happen on the border until it happens to them, just as during the second world war they ignored militarization and were met with an unpleasant surprise
We Finns and Poles are pretty different culturally, but one got to appriciate the work ethic and dedication in security. It's good to know that if the shit hits the fan, we have friends for thousand of kilometers South of us :)
Poland remember what happened in 1939. My Poland friend said his grandfather's entire family was killed after Nazi and Stalin invaded. His father survived by escaping to France.
Not many people know that it was Russian and Germany together that started WW2 in September 1939, they had a secret pact. In fact, it is Russia that has done the most evil over the last few hundred years, by far much more than the Nazis. And they continue to this day, it seems to be in the Russian genes to be evil.
As a Brit I am in pure envy of Poland, For some reason the UK will not invest in already exising systems used by the US and South Korea ect. and for some reason continues to develop their own while taking the old equipment out of service leaving a hole and then replacing it with less of but better newer equipment they are also making tiny cuts to save pennies on the pound which is just shrinking everything down and these cuts mean retention of those in service is awful and the military personell has almost halved in 10 years. It's in dissaray and they need to decide wether to shrink properly, specialise and be elite in specific areas to assist allies extremely effectivley (this relies on NATO) or to increase funding and become a heavy fighting power (Less reliant on NATO) and it needs to make a decision quickly. I think Poland is awesome :).
As Lithuanian , I think Britain is just a sleeper for now, love Britain and British lads and ladies. Throughout the history you showed you are power to be reckoned with and you will get there again if needed.
As a german i can only say: Poland is the only European country that understands how serious this Situation is. I really hope the Rest of Europe especially germany will awake too, because right now, Russia would crush us, as much as it hurts to say that.
As a West German I'm surprised this East German still believing in Russian military crushing propaganda hasn't heard of Finland's 900.000 troops having prepared for total war, nuclear war and nuclear winter war for the last 80 years. Other NATO member countries have no underground cities, bases and production facilities, and no plans for the time after nuclear war. Russia is a complete joke.
Sure! Piotr, at fact I even like to literally call us "Polaczki" (as the "Pole" seems to sound in bad way). It is nice to be called the clever guy, but also a little badass twister. :)
Polish guy here, I think I must say something about our unofficial military policy. We seek not to start a war, but we will stop at nothing to finish it. :)
Other NATO and EU counties should reserve part of their defense budget for purchasing weapons for Poland. If the war breaks out, it makes sense for the weapons to be where they are needed. Or even better, offer to station international forces in Eastern Poland.
Other NATO countries, especially Germany, France and Hungary, are indifferent to the fate of Europe as a homeland of nations, they are willing to sacrifice Ukraine, Poland, Finland, they will do anything to reach an agreement with Russia because their countries no longer have leaders with the heart of a lion, they are shells of human shadows . That's why we have to be ready, what I fear is the same situation as in Ukraine, Ukraine had a chance to end this war a year ago but the US said NO - you must not attack Russia. Russia, however, only respects strength and nothing else, only strength counts there, if someone does not understand this, he is simply stupid.
Żadnych sił w Polsce, zwłaszcza Niemieckich. Bijcie się z Ruskimi u siebie w domu,Polska nie poligon i za nikogo już więcej bić się nie będzie, zwłaszcza za Niemcy i tą złodziejską,chora, fałszywą UE które nas okradają i nakładają bzdurne kary.Powinnismy przepuścić Rosję dalej ,bo to nie nasza wojna,niech cwaniaczki w Europie nauczą się praworzadnosci😂
Great video. One note: 70k personnel is just for land forces and just for actuall combat personnel. In total it's about 115k. And if you add air forces, navy, special forces etc (without 35-40k Territorial Defense) it's about 180k. Still a long way to go to reach that 300k. Honestly I think we'll settle on 250k active and 50k reserve. Plus about 45k Territorial Defense. Cheers!
Cappy, so glad you are reading all those many pages reports “so I don’t have to.” Thanks! Keep up the great work! This was a very good and informative video. Bravo!
Nice video! Can you also do a video on Romania modernizing it's army too? I think it will make an interesting video since Romania is also close to the danger of Russia, especially with Moldova and Transnistria right at the border.
I've held for a while that Poland has surpassed Germany in the role of "protector of Europe". For far too long, Germany has neglected their military for decades due to some weird echoing blowback from the time of the Nazis. Meanwhile Poland has looked at their past and went "We will never be a speedbump to anyone ever again." And I'm fully behind it. If anyone was to try and invade Poland, we need to be there, in person, to fight side by side with them. Not only are the Poles responsible for helping to save Western Civilization as we know it from the Ottomans during the Siege of Vienna in 1683, the Poles were here, helping us fight to win our independence. We're honor bound, regardless of any commitment to NATO, to return the favor and help them fight to keep theirs, if the need was to arise. In fact, all that aid money needs to stop at the border. Poland should be the one getting it. And instead of retiring our F-22s, as the Air Force has proposed, they should be given to Poland. If we don't want them, give them to someone who can use them.
With the history of Germany its propably a good thing, and saying this country is a good idea to be a Europe protector then they tried so many times to conquer it, is ironic.
Ты дурак? Агрессия идет из США и её колоний в европе! США будут стоять в стороне как в перву и вторую мировую войну и спонисировать всё это!

The Battle of Vienna 1683, the Battle of Legnica 1241, the Battle of Warsaw 1920. History makes the difference for Poland. History is also a reason why Poland is also more eager to cooperate with UK, USA or South Korea, than for example Germany.

Nah. Lithuanians hate the Commonwealth to the bone and Ukrainians just utilise the nostalgia after it for their own gain. It's like the Roman Empire. Nice to commemorate, but it won't come back.
Many people are not aware that the height of Polish power was when they had a commonwealth with Lithuania and dominated much of Europe. They have the components to be a world powerhouse again if they make the right decisions, especially as many other Western nations are declining.
I just have to mention that the borders of Poland and Lithuania were significantly different from today. The so-called "Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" included the eastern territories of Poland, a large part of Ukraine, Baltic states (including today's Kaliningrad) & the entire territory of Belarus. Perhaps this national community will be able to be rebuilt on modern conditions soon (a common enemy unites our countries). Unfortunately, so far except for Belarus...

Poland is a trable maker.
When talking about the history of Poland, I would like Poland to be presented not only as conquered and as a weak country that must defend itself because everyone conquered it, but the entire history of Poland to be presented, because there was a time when Poland was also one of the most powerful country in Europe
Why Poland is preparing for war: History

I have lived and worked in Poland many times; definitely one of my favourite countries. I made friends with many there, and it was interesting talking about their history. They were saying that the Poles are a proud people, but that comes at a price. A joke one of them told me was that a Pole was praying and asked God “Why did you make such a beautiful place, with rivers, lakes and fertile farmland just for us?” And God answered “Wait until you meet your neighbours.” Their history is a rather sad one, at one point their nation was split up three ways between the Prussians, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires for centuries. Reborn out of the ashes of the First World War only to be invaded by the Soviet Union within weeks of the guns going silent on the Western Front. They repelled the Soviet aggression in 1920 and enjoyed a 19 year period of uneasy peace. 1939 brought the two front war between the Nazis and the Soviet Union, occupation, Operation Barbarossa, Soviet occupation and Communist rule until 1989. I think they have a right to be a little uneasy. It’s a beautiful country in a bad neighbourhood. I can fully understand their defence spending.
Well history is not only 100 years ago. At the end of the XVI's the poles where running over russia in Moscow (that period is know in russian history as the "troubled times). They are not poor little angels. They are aggressive by nature. Ask their neighbours.
The story of people of East and West Prussia before they were completely wiped out (around 12 million German people in total) their culture, their architecture, arts, language was a lot more unique and fascinating than what was replaced with after the war ended.
As a Ukranian, I can assure U that fights on polish territory was a retaliation of Poland invading neighboring countries. They attack Ukraine many times on their way to Russia and always were pushed back all the way to Poland. Not many like Poles cuz they start shit then cry when they get their asses kicked. Red Army lost 600k soldiers liberating Poland and to thank them, they rknocking down memorials of the fallen soldiers.
Soviet Union did not exist in 1920 by the way. It was all part of Russian civil war, after two revolutions and abdication of the tsar.
That's a very ignorant opinion. People learn basic history and they think they're geopolitical buffs. Things have changed massively since then. Perhaps you've heard of NATO and what it stands for. If you have, you wouldn't believe the propaganda about Russia "reclaiming former territory".

From Korea with ❤. Regarding WW2, we know three things about Poland: (i) you were the first country that actually broke the invincible German Enigma code, as early as 1932; (ii) however, that still did not prevent you from being the first victim and the biggest victim of WW2 by the casualty count; and (iii) that did, however, sow the seed of eventual Allied victory by way of world's greatest tech/information transfer to Blechley Park, in the nick of time, in a Polish forest, giving and telling every knowhow to the cluelessly arrogant Brits.
My take from it? You had the genius, zeal, and good heart, but lacked the physical hardware (i.e., weapons), the combined result of which was saving the world ultimately, but not yourself.
I think you learned from it and are doing exactly that - getting that crucial physical hardware - so that you can save yourself as well this time, not just the world.
We Koreans also know two things from our own experience: (i) the best defense always comes from the defenders' capacity to attack (ever watched Son Heung Min dribbling past German players 80 meters when the German goalie meandered into our land - only this threat should confine them to their zone); and (ii) for deterrence to work, you must overwhelm the enemy and devastate their morale, so that they don't even think of doing anything stupid. You are building exactly to that end, it seems. Poland Fighting! ❤

In our neighbourhood assuming worst case scenario isn't pessimism, it is common sense.
One key takeaway is that Germany cannot be relied upon to be a key weapons supplier to the EU, they have too many restrictions on sale and resale and their production capacity is limited whereas Poland can start offering essentially the gen 4.5 (in aircraft terms) tanks and IFV's without these political shenanigans as a way to recoup costs and keep their skills and industrial base alive without solely relying on domestic orders. They also provide a cost effective alternative to the USA who for many systems has extremely long lead times or the systems they offer are near end of life and are due to be replaced by in development alternatives.
Crazy that the Germans are the problem given their History 😂
@@user-ue6zx2do2fhahaa no it‘s because bureaucracy and inefficiency. The politicians are mostly in favor of more weapons, the money is a big problem though

one key takeaway of the nonsense you are colporting is that you dont know what youre talking about. Germany is STILL and has been for decades the 5th largest weapons exporter in the world. Poland isnt even on the list. Btw the G3 is the most proliferated gun in the world aside of the AK47/74.

Poland is aware that it is surrounded by treachery and needs to be able to defend against multiple attacks on multiple fronts and also must do offense. Remember that Poland never surrendered during WW II. While the army was defending against the Blitzkrieg, Russia invaded. The Polish army went to Africa and attacked the Axis there, then fought their way up Italy. The Polish air forces defended Dunkirk and the UK. It was evil for the US and UK to award Poland to the USSR as a prize for having started the war by invading Poland
Sir,may I have the honour to respond? Churchill only had one demand for Stalin, and that was for free elections in Poland after the war. Stalin always said “yes” until the red army occupied Poland and he then installed his own government. We weren’t helped by the USA because Roosevelt thought keeping Stalin happy was more important than Polands liberty. Roosevelt was desperate for Stalin to join the war against Japan, but that is no excuse. We British were horrified by Polands fate as we had fought side by side with Poles since the start of the war. The best fighter pilots in the RAF were the two Polish squadrons, we remember the Polish victory at Monte Cassino, the destruction of the Germans at the Falaise Pocket and General Sosabowskis paratroopers rescuing our paratroopers at Arnhem. My country owes Poland a debt of honour that is too big to ever be repaid,but I believe we will stand with Poland forever. God bless Poland from 🇬🇧
I agree with you. Poland is surely aware that her current allies are undergoing internal strife, and could possibly be completely unable to function as allies as they deal with internal threats. These allies could suddenly become enemies when internal political shifts occur.
No kidding. For the Allies to give Poland to the godless tyrant Stalin was treacherous and disgraceful.
@@erikriza7165we didn’t give it to him,he conquered it with his red army. What were we supposed to do? Start ww3 while still fighting ww2 against the Japanese?
I agree with everything you said, except that the US & UK were evil towards Poland. Please tell me what they could've done to change what happened?? Stalin wasn't removing his army's without a fight & neither the US nor UK could've taken the country without all out war with Russia & nobody wanted that

British here. Met a lot of Poles as when they joined the EU, all the smart, motivated ones got passports and spread abroad where they 1) Got Jobs, 2) Learnt other languages, 3) Networked.
Many of those motivated Poles became older, muiltilingual, financially secure, globally Networked and returned home, where in my head they can meet up in golf clubs and at school reunions.

The EU turned Poland from a farming backwater into a modernized nation.

In ww2 no nation fought harder than Poland,and no nation got less out of the war. Many Poles fought with the British army and earned an😊unequalled reputation for courage and competence. The best squadrons in fighter command during the Battle of Britain were Polish. A army saying was that every division needs good intelligence officers,and the best were Polish. If you had one Polish intelligence officer in your division,that’s all you needed. Any NATO unit would be happy to fight alongside the Poles.

@@Goorood A clown would make a statement like that. Poland was under occupation for how many hundreds of years? Poles fought on every side of every war in Europe, in the name of their occupier. They gain their independence, stop the communists from spreading to the rest of europe and conquering Poland in 1921. 19 years later WW2 breaks out. In those 19 years they had to rebuild their country and prepare for a war meanwhile their neighbors have an easy 100 year head start in terms of factories and industry. In those 27 days they fought the Germans in the West, South and North. 15 days after the Nazis invaded, the Russians said HELLO from the east. Molotov ribbentrop pact, cha ching. Poles fight in practically every major European battle in the western front afterwards, conquer monte cassino, and in return they arent allowed to march in the victory day parade. The brits even charged them IN GOLD from every single round of ammunition and etc used during the war. Your ancestors should have used condoms.

Damn! You are really hitting your stride, Cappy! Another excellent video and discussion of an evolving issue. Poland may have challenges in meeting its current objectives for defense and the social sector, but it’s at least got the right attitude. Much more confident in Poland doing what’s necessary than Germany, for example. Also, Poland doesn’t have to go it alone outside of the defense sector. Much of its planning will require a large, highly trained workforce. People everywhere are looking for good, well-paying jobs, and I’m sure many would be willing to fill in any gaps in that area where available. Great video, look forward to the next!
God bless Poland! Cheers from Spain!

Poland remember what happened in 1939. My Poland friend said his grandfather's entire family was killed after Nazi and Stalin invaded. His father survived by escaping to France.
Not many people know that it was Russian and Germany together that started WW2 in September 1939, they had a secret pact. In fact, it is Russia that has done the most evil over the last few hundred years, by far much more than the Nazis. And they continue to this day, it seems to be in the Russian genes to be evil.

As a Brit I am in pure envy of Poland, For some reason the UK will not invest in already exising systems used by the US and South Korea ect. and for some reason continues to develop their own while taking the old equipment out of service leaving a hole and then replacing it with less of but better newer equipment they are also making tiny cuts to save pennies on the pound which is just shrinking everything down and these cuts mean retention of those in service is awful and the military personell has almost halved in 10 years. It's in dissaray and they need to decide wether to shrink properly, specialise and be elite in specific areas to assist allies extremely effectivley (this relies on NATO) or to increase funding and become a heavy fighting power (Less reliant on NATO) and it needs to make a decision quickly. I think Poland is awesome :).
As Lithuanian , I think Britain is just a sleeper for now, love Britain and British lads and ladies. Throughout the history you showed you are power to be reckoned with and you will get there again if needed.
As a german i can only say: Poland is the only European country that understands how serious this Situation is.
I really hope the Rest of Europe especially germany will awake too, because right now, Russia would crush us, as much as it hurts to say that.

lmao russia would never invade western europe. Like what is the endgame of that? The small hats are just looking for any reason to war monger.
As a West German I'm surprised this East German still believing in Russian military crushing propaganda hasn't heard of Finland's 900.000 troops having prepared for total war, nuclear war and nuclear winter war for the last 80 years. Other NATO member countries have no underground cities, bases and production facilities, and no plans for the time after nuclear war. Russia is a complete joke.

Other NATO and EU counties should reserve part of their defense budget for purchasing weapons for Poland. If the war breaks out, it makes sense for the weapons to be where they are needed. Or even better, offer to station international forces in Eastern Poland.
Other NATO countries, especially Germany, France and Hungary, are indifferent to the fate of Europe as a homeland of nations, they are willing to sacrifice Ukraine, Poland, Finland, they will do anything to reach an agreement with Russia because their countries no longer have leaders with the heart of a lion, they are shells of human shadows . That's why we have to be ready, what I fear is the same situation as in Ukraine, Ukraine had a chance to end this war a year ago but the US said NO - you must not attack Russia. Russia, however, only respects strength and nothing else, only strength counts there, if someone does not understand this, he is simply stupid.

Great video. One note: 70k personnel is just for land forces and just for actuall combat personnel. In total it's about 115k. And if you add air forces, navy, special forces etc (without 35-40k Territorial Defense) it's about 180k. Still a long way to go to reach that 300k. Honestly I think we'll settle on 250k active and 50k reserve. Plus about 45k Territorial Defense.

@@gl3411@gl3411 We in Poland are considering back-to-horse units in some areas that are difficult to pass.
I've held for a while that Poland has surpassed Germany in the role of "protector of Europe". For far too long, Germany has neglected their military for decades due to some weird echoing blowback from the time of the Nazis. Meanwhile Poland has looked at their past and went "We will never be a speedbump to anyone ever again."
And I'm fully behind it. If anyone was to try and invade Poland, we need to be there, in person, to fight side by side with them. Not only are the Poles responsible for helping to save Western Civilization as we know it from the Ottomans during the Siege of Vienna in 1683, the Poles were here, helping us fight to win our independence. We're honor bound, regardless of any commitment to NATO, to return the favor and help them fight to keep theirs, if the need was to arise.
In fact, all that aid money needs to stop at the border. Poland should be the one getting it. And instead of retiring our F-22s, as the Air Force has proposed, they should be given to Poland. If we don't want them, give them to someone who can use them.
With the history of Germany its propably a good thing, and saying this country is a good idea to be a Europe protector then they tried so many times to conquer it, is ironic.
