Thanks for your sagacious input (quoted for the benefit of future generations).  I guess my sources were wrong and there have never been any tensions between the Ukrainians and the Poles in that area.  Nothing but brotherly love from the beginning of time, and any possible tensions are completely out of the question as a future issue.

It's quite obvious by now that you have no clue about European history and just make shit up or parrot bitchute videos of similarly clueless "sources".

Poland - just like most nations in that area - has had many conflicts with its neighbors. That doesn't mean it's going to invade Germany, Lithuania, or Ukraine.

Of course Poland would never 'attack' or 'invade' Ukraine.  They might just do a 'special military action' and put 'peacekeepers' there to 'help protect' the areas they want some control over and resources from.  Much like Russia is doing in the South and East in fact.  Maybe 'democratic' elections would 'prove' that the people of Western Ukraine would want to become part of Poland someday.  Or maybe part of New Israel.  Who knows?

The problem Poland would have would be how to manage the Nationalists...at least the ones which have not been taken care of already by the Donbass people and Russia.  The Russian intel guy says that they are actively soliciting persons in Kiev right now who would work with them to mitigate that looming hassle.


I am not aware of any indication that Poland actually wants to occupy Ukraine. I have been aware that Putin has been wanting to invade Ukraine for years (decades?), and has been making incremental steps in invading Ukraine since Obama was president.

Poland has no interest in Ukraine, Russia does.

Seems like Poland has been arguably Ukraines most loyal ally going back to Putin taking Crimea.  Probably because what Putin is doing to Ukraine is so similar to what Stalin did to Poland when the Soviets invaded.  Stalins public explanation for the invasion was to rescue their "blood brothers" from Ukraine and Belarus, who were illegally being held by Poland.  They called it a campaign of "liberation".  The truth was Stalin made a secret deal with Hitler so that the Soviets and Nazis could each have a piece of Poland.

Poland/Ukraine relations haven't been perfect, but the idea that Poland would invade Ukraine seems like more Moscow nonsense that sadly many will just believe.
Well to be completely fair, it might not be crazy to say that Poland would invade a Russian-occupied Ukraine in order to help liberate them. Obviously, this is not what the Russian propaganda/tvbcof was saying will happen.

I think Poland knows it is in a strategically important location to Russia, and that any Russian invasion of Poland is likely to be preceded by a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Sure, a Russian invasion/attack on Poland could come from Belarus, but that would be easier to defend against, and it would be easier for Poland to choke off Russian supply lines via Belarus.

In short, Poland and Ukraine have similar defensive interests in fending off the Russians.
