How would poland fair against an invasion frm russia ?

Question

in relation to someones qustion about us involvement in this case ....... i know russia has over whelming numbers and nukes but how long could the poles hold out untill they got help from the western euro countries and the us and would that help come ... thanks

Answer 1

Interesting Question. I think Russia were waiting for the Georgians to take back South Ossetia.(Originally Georgian Territory) that lies on the Russian border.

This then gave the Russians an excuse to attack Georgia. The Russians are making an example of the small Georgian army to tease the western world (especially USA).

Georgia was the third largest contributor of troops to Iraq just behind the UK and USA. This would make Georgia an alloy of the United States.

The United States have replied by agreeing with Poland to build missiles on the Polish borders aimed towards Russia. In Exchange USA has provided Poland with various Military materials.

Russia has now threatened to storm Poland, but in order to do so, they would have to storm Ukraine which lies between the two countries.

USA would not stand by while Russia attacks Poland(A Very Close Alloy), this very well could result in WW III in the coming years. But the odds are it wont as all the nations involved in the current conflict are members of NATO.

If it was to result in a war between the two nations, Russia would most definitely fancy their chances because the US Army are currently bogged down in silly wars all over the middle-east that they are struggling to win.

Can You imagine the consequences against A Huge Military Army such as Russia, who are almost as advanced as the US. With nearly Triple the amount of troops !

Answer 2

Not well if history is anything to go by

Answer 3

The real question is how will the world fair if Russia attacks.

Answer 4

The Poles are some pretty tough people.  In WW II the Polish army fought Hitler's Blitz with everything they had, even fought tanks with horse cavalry.  Russia would never risk using nukes but they do have tanks, lots of them.  However we still have bases in nearby Germany that has always been prepaired for such an attack.  

Answer 5

Three.  One to hold the lightbulb and two to turn the ladder.

Answer 6

poland had better pray.

Answer 7

US, along with other European contries are obligated to declare war on the invader if it is invaded, that is NATO. IF the US, or any other country that is a member of NATO doesn't help Poland by at least declaring war on the invader, then NATO might as well be disbanded, because if it can be broken once it isn't a pact is it?

Answer 8

The 82nd,173rd and 75th Rangers would deploy within 24 hours to provide a blocking action and secure a forward airbase for their's and the 101st Apache Squadrons. Heavy Mechleg units from Germany would be deployed within 48 to 72 hrs. Air assets of course would be available immediately, so for all practical purposes there would be little if any lag time that the Poles would be on their own.

You folks so grossly over estimate the Russian military it is comical. But then, most of you thought that Saddam was going to wipe the US out once they entered Baghdad. The civilian mind is a truly amazing network of uninformed c**p so easily tricked it is sad.

Answer 9

Not good.  I think the Russian navy could destroy most of Poland before troops even went there.

Answer 10

I doubt if Russia will attack Poland...as Poland

is a Member Nation of "NATO" now.

So they would do rather well...

That is why Russia attacked Georgia before

it became a member of NATO...

They didn't want the Missile Defense system in Georgia

and in Poland...

Remember this are a Defensive Missiles NOT offensive

and are NON-NUKES !!!!

Answer 11

Well the air power of the U S and other nations would be there instantly

The 82' nd airborn would bet there in 36 hours. But that would mean ww3 and the ruskies aren't that stupid.

Answer 12

Not good at all, As a Pole myself, I'm worried

Russia has always wanted to take away Poland and it's riches, just didn't have any good reasons too. History says it all.

Russia would take over, and take apart Poland, completely erasing it from the maps.Just like it did in WW1 and WW2. Erased Poland from the map for 123 years. Not a speck of Polish culture in those cold years.

There might be chances, but I don't think the US would help Poland, it's practically sold Poland to Russia when they didn't help way back then after WW2.
