"Ready for anything" is what a military should always be.
Is Russia going to invade Poland? Extremely unlikely.
The amount of truth in your comments equals the amount of intelligent life on Mars, lol.
There's no truth to what you have said. None. I've already told you why, and I hope you can look through again and try to comprehend and understand. You need to realize that, as I said, Russia is rooted in Europe, and if you remove everything European about it, you'd make the entire country vanish. Simple as that. The country is only Eurasian in pure geographical terms (which makes the UK with its Falkland Islands, for instance, what...? hmm...) - but, that aside, it is as European as any other European country (i.e., genetically, culturally, historically, et cetera).

I have a problem with Americans trying to decide for us Europeans, on a purely subjective account, what Europe is, and at what point it begins and ends. This sort of meddling has caused hatred between us more than you can imagine.
Poland's history of winning several world wars and standing up to international powers leads me to believe that Russia is totally fucked.
Really.
Really really.
OMG my sides hurt!
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
Barring the US electing Trump, that's not what will be coming - this will: "Russia completes reformation of 1st Guards Tank Army".
"In today’s America, conservatives who actually want to conserve are as rare as liberals who actually want to liberate. The once-significant language of an earlier era has had the meaning sucked right out of it, the better to serve as camouflage for a kleptocratic feeding frenzy in which both establishment parties participate with equal abandon" (Taking a break from the criminal, incompetent liars at the NSA, to bring you the above political observation, from The Archdruid Report.)
Well if we're being honest, there really isn't a sensible geographical definition of what constitutes Europe. Europe is just where all the white people come from, and most Russians certainly fit that bill, but of course you can't exactly draw a line in the middle of Russia where all the white people live on one side and everyone else lives on the other side.
