I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT: Poland Says Major Russian Provocation Could Be Months Away.

Tomczyk said Poland’s government and military are no longer treating a confrontation with Russia as an unthinkable scenario.

Warsaw is actively planning for how the country would operate under the worst possible conditions, even as officials hope those preparations never have to be put into practice.

“We are preparing for war, hoping that it will never begin,” Tomczyk said.

Poland’s preparations extend well beyond its armed forces. According to the deputy minister, Warsaw is also strengthening the country’s energy sector and critical infrastructure against the possibility of future aggression.

Si vis pacem, para bellum, as they say.
