Ahh polandball. I missed these
These always remind me that I'm a dumb American.
It reminds me of an old Polish joke:
A Pole finds a magic lamp, strokes it, and a genie comes out.
"I will grant you three wishes. They can be anything your heart desire."
"I wish for the Mongols to invade Poland!'
"Ok? It is done"
The Mongol hordes sweep through Poland, ransack the country, then go back the way they came.
"I am ready for my second wish. I want the Mongols to invade Poland again!"
"Are you sure? I can give you anything your heart wishes."
"Yes. I am sure"
The Mongols come again, do some more pillaging, and return home.
"And now for my third wish. I want the Mongol hordes to invade Poland a third time."
"Are you really sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Before I grant you your wish, would you mind explaining me why you would want that not once but thrice?"
"It's very simple: Whenever the Mongols come to Poland they have to cross Russia twice!"
This would be much more concerning if they hadn't so thoroughly stamped out fascism. What's the alternative for Germany?
Fascism is back on the rise there, unfortunately.
I thought my little AfD reference at the end would give me away.
I thought it was clear
stamped out fascism
Alternative for Germany (Deutschland)
🤭...
💀...
Fascism was never stamped out. Wall street supported it heavily and now they fully control the us political and military machine. We came full circle. The nazi’s didnt loose the war their ideology infected those with control today. Central banks funded the third reich and those same financial institutions are still empowered and playing a part today. War and genocide / eugenics is a part of their business model.
I can’t tell if that’s a lucky coincidence or a reference, but the Alternative for Germany (AfD) are the biggest voices in support of fascism in Germany, and they just won 20% of the seats in parliament. Luckily, even the CXU won’t form a coalition with them yet, so they will hopefully not have much impact on things.
Ironically, the AfD doesn’t want to militarize against Russia (but don’t be too reassured, they do want to reinstate mandatory conscription and militarize generally, just not against daddy Putin)
Tbf Poland would be joining them this time around.
They're allowed to take out one German tank with light cavalry, for old time's sake.
You know...as the battlefield becomes ever more automated, there might be a very brief window where the winged hussars could make a comeback.
Let's say you have a battlefield riddled with smart drones. They have image recognition and immediately attack anything resembling a tank or other military asset. Do you think anyone bothered to program the drones to seek out and attack a unit outfit like 18th century Polish cavalry? A charge on horseback just might be able to ride completely undisturbed through the right kind of drone-controlled battlefield.
Ukranian drones are already equipped to target the latest Russian logistic vehicles, donkeys.
Last time Russia and Germany invaded Poland together. Presumably this would be Germany and Poland invading Russia.
Ukrainians: "the Germans are here to liberate us from the Russian yoke. And they actually mean it this time!"
Poland has been pouring everything into their military, they are VERY ready for this to all go sideways. I can't blame them.
Yeah they have a history of things going sideways around them given the location
I am ok if Europe wants to send troops to Canada to defend against the real enemy—the United States.
I was going to joke "I'll send y'all intel," but now I'm seriously considering if my country will use that statement against me some day.
I am joking NSA/DOGE, of course.
I don’t want intel, AMD is better imo.
As an American I fully support this. We don't want to invade Canada either. Just the Orange Idiot and his bootlickers.
Germany starts world war 3
The rest of the world: “how do we keep falling for this?”
"Ww3 this time we're the good guys!" Smaller print "We've double checked and had it put in writing."
Poland: "What about attacking Russia alongside with an ally?"
Aye, I could do that.
Germany: "i thought these days would never come again. Fighting russia with poland and france like we did late 1700s and early 1800s"
It kind of reminds me of Terminator 2; where its essentially the exact same story is T1 except this time the previous bad guy is the good guy.
I know its a joke but just to note: I'd love to see Germany "march through Poland" given the poor state of Germany's armed forces. As it is rn, Poland alone could most likely reach Russia's heart in a couple of weeks of conventional warfare and debilitate Russian critical infrastructure long before that. Barring nukes of course, which is basically all the Kremlin would have to hang on to in a full out direct confrontation given just how incompetent their armed forces have proven to be.
I'll have you know that we are perfectly capable to march through allied territory... as long as they have well developed infrastructure
...which complicates marching through Germany
Let's make sure to start the campaign in autumn so we are deep inside Russia during the coldest parts of winter. Let's also make sure to only take light summer clothing.
That sort of idea seems great when everyone is taking Pervitin all the time.
Pervitin, the brand name that Meth was originally sold under.
Ya know, what with global warming this might actually work.
You guys have the most experience with that sort of thing

Yeah, we know, irony is dead. But if the world made sense then the Orange Idiot wouldn't be in charge.
