    Yes you’re not but what was the point of posting than quote? Was it just to troll @Deckard?

    If you are referring to this tweet.... Musk didn't deny it.

    Why bother.

    If the Russian Army sucks, how good do you think its crappier cousin is?

    Kos broke it down. It's not good.

    I'm honestly a little surprised that Poland hasn't moved like 90% of its army onto the border with Belarus, just to f**k with them. Poles don't really seem to care about "not raising tensions". Seems like an easy way to F with them, the exact same way Belarus is F'ing with Ukraine. Might make Belarus move some of those troops away from the Ukrainian border, too.

    The fact that Belarus has troops massed on their border (according to deepstatemap.live, there are 3 separate concentrations right over the border Ukraine at various places) means that Ukraine has to keep a counter-force across the border from them. Even doing nothing, they are doing something to impede Ukraine from fully concentrating on Russia.

    I'm honestly surprised some of you are begging for a nuclear war.

    You do understand Poland is part of NATO and NATO is a defensive pact? Poland provoking Russia and starting a war ends in two ways; Poland being removed from NATO or a nuclear war. You seem way too excited about the second option.

    Fortunately most world leaders have more wisdom than the r****ded rhetoric that goes on in this thread.

    Putting troops on the border isn't going to start a nuclear war. That's not even remotely close to some of the lines that have already been crossed. The US already more than doubled its own deployment in Poland to 11,000 soldiers. In addition to giving weapons to Ukraine, the US has been silently moving weapons systems to Eastern Europe as well. Ukraine has been striking targets within Russia using US supplied HIMARS for some time now and that's far more provocative than simply amassing troops within one's country.

    In fact, NATO crossed this line in January. In response to the original Russian deployments on the Russian and Belarussian borders with Ukraine, the US and NATO started moving troops to NATO countries that bordered Ukraine. Poland moving more troops to Belarus wouldn't really do anything.

    I think the real barrier is just that Poland probably doesn't have the logistics or infrastructure to support amassing most of their military on one side of the country. The US is the only country in the world that has the logistics to enable moving troops around the world at scale.

    There's a very big, huge reason why Poland is doing nothing other than mobilizing internally.

    Why should Musk even be involved in this?

    Who the hell is he to tell Ukraine or Russia what they should do?

    From what family has told me, Poland is ultimately doing exactly what the US government is suggesting that they do.
