    Thing will be, will the population support this? Do they care enough about countries not their own? It will probably be Poland, do people care enough about Poland to get fired up to fight? Nationalism/Brexit/racism has been demonizing Pols as both taking our jobs and scrounging benefits. Plus Russia is whispering in their social media feeds and so they don’t think Russia is that bad. We’re in a right old state.

      Its possibly just a good tactic to get people onboard with sending more weapons.

      Get on board with us sending weapons, if this goes south, we’ll have to send you instead

            Poland gets invaded. Which I think it will anyway unless Ukraine wins.

      I would fight if asked. I might not be very good at it, though
