Poland is planning to more than double its military to half a million troops and to train millions of reservists: "By the end of the year, we want to have a model ready so that every adult male in Poland is trained for war", PM Tusk said.

For "every adult male", they will have to introduce compulsory military service.
Here is an idea.
Before you post again, read something about Poland and its relation with Russia/USSR.
I suggest you start in 1920 and go from there…
Your aggressive tone says it all, only very ignorant people talk like that.
Do we not want to teach women how to protect themselves against potential harm? Similar principal applies here.
Just tax the rich to pay for it.
Ask Ukrainian women defending their families, their land and their culture right now if they think that maybe Polish women should be better prepared should it come their way.. again. Does 1939 ring a bell?
We're talking about a European country arming and training itself in order to better defend itself.
You've just illustrated why Poland is doing this. Bucha is an example of what happens to helpless populations.
If Ukraine was rich enough to have a powerful military, Putin would not have done what he did, the way he did.
The point was made about old white men.
This is not mutually exclusive with concern for home grown fascism. You should be concerned with both. I'm afraid half the world is already slowly marching towards authoritarianism.
Tax the rich.
However, we shouldn't be complacent !
By the time we are on the frontline it'll be too late.
No rational person wants war but when circumstances dictate it we must be prepared for the possibility.
They don't have a rampant gun crime issue.
I hate them both I want them gone what right have they got to do this
