So what would you recommend for a reaction if Russia went into Poland, the have already done the same for Crimea and Ukraine. Just let it go again. Poland and other countries in the NATO alliance are very worried, very different from your perspective. If they continue with their aggression should we desert the alliance and just worry about our shores while they annex countries.

Let them invade away. If they want to empty their Treasury and their children's blood in Poland and other countries, it doesn't make me want to follow suit.

Eventually, the people in those countries will bleed Russia enough so that the Russians leave.

Duh your what if situation will not happen.

Committing genocide to crack any resistance while an option will never work out - for one thing international political fallout is cataclysmic for a second Russians themselves would be sickened by such idea (slavic people fell some degree of mutual friendship not matter what their countries relations are) - so dirty solution is out.

Poland is a NATO member so all the NATO members will come to help Poland defend itself.

Are you saying they won't? Even if U.S. is removed from NATO, Nato still exists, no ?

Russia is smart enough not to invade any NATO members, so this invasion won't happen.

I remember when the Vietnam war protestors were rooting for me to die in that sh1thole. Between the clueless government that sent me there, and my fellow citizens who supported the enemy, I realized that no one gave a damn about the combat soldier.

My crying days are done.

I would have to agree with you there. Sad but true.

Forget Poland.

If the nukes go off, it will be because Kim Jong-un and Kim Jong Trump are both nuts.

We owe Poland absolutely NOTHING. Return the favor? The hell are you talking about? We liberated Europe. They can NEVER return that favor.

You're gonna put your life on the line to save a meaningless country like Poland? LOL...you folks, i swear.
