You probably need to read a history book, mate 
While *I personally* would indeed do what you say, my compatriots seem to be (and have been historically) nationalist enough to sacrifice their lives to defend this piece of dirt...
| Scisca said: Still, we're not paranoid. We have two of our neighbours fighting a war, it's only natural we're gearing up. Moreover, Poland is stepping up and starts to challenge Russia in the region in general. The whole V4 Group cooperation - we are stating to turn our ABC strategy into life. This is our natural role as the second largest nation in the region, we want to be the leaders of Central Europe. We know that in order to be able to truely challenge Russia, we need to have an army that even they have to respect. That's why we're increasing the spendings on army, we plan to increase the number of soldiers by 50% in the upcoming years and we've started training our Civil Guard - a couple hundred thousands of armed people trained in the use of firearms, with knowledge of tactics, knowing how to support the regular army and how to use guerilla tactics. We're also doing our uttmost in trying to get American troops to Poland. We are gearing up, but then again - we're not living in the safest of times and we'd rather be safe than sorry. Instead of relying on a piece of paper and begging for American help, we want to be able to fend for ourselves. We still need a couple of years to achieve this point, I hope we'll have that time. |
Okay... maybe I spoke too soon. I guess it's not about the Polish. Maybe it's because *you* are a bit naive, right?
Poland challenging Russia in the region? Haha.
We want to be leaders of Central Europe - Yeah, good luck. Maybe if Germany and Austria magically disappear tomorrow, you might have a shot.
We need to have an army that even they have to respect - You know they could basically steamroll Europe if they wanted to, right? Your *respectable* army would last a month or two if lucky.
Not that any of this matters. Why would Russia want Poland? There's nothing to gain from attacking you. Or Latvia, for that matter.
