This is that extends to most, if not all, countries in the Union. This celebrated "militarization" of many states is merely an incredible farce if progress in industry and creating efficient intelligence agencies fail to follow.

Buying a quadrillion tanks means nothing if you aren't even able to reliably manufacture ammunition for them. Let alone, if you are unable to manufacture the *tanks* themselves, which should replace the wanton purchase sprees aimed at easing the anxieties of the electorate.
Poland hopefully learned a painful lesson once it realized that its widely-propagandized Territorial Defense Forces are utterly useless. The logical followup to that fiasco should be focusing on *local strength* - not on purchasing Korean tanks for which you likely barely have any personnel (lmao)
The original plan was to hold a line on Vistula before the NATO cavalry could arrive and plow through the ruskies. Ever since the invasion of Ukraine, when the Russian brutality was unveiled, the plan became majorly controversial and was, to my knowledge, mostly abandoned.
Comical, both the plan and the current belief that seems to be "we will somehow stop Russia from completely razing the entirety of our country to the ground". Poland has no army, no industrial capacity, and now it also has NO ALLIES. Europe? Please. They're even more unprepared.
What must be done?
Once again: accelerated European integration, industrial strength (especially regarding military manufacturing), trained and professional armies capable to co-op in the case of an invasion (the NATO framework already greatly aids that goal), and efficient intel agencies.
