Poland’s U.S. made Abrams Main Battle Tank in Tuesday’s parade
Introduction – Aug 15, 2023
A massive military parade rumbled through Warsaw on Tuesday, commemorating Poland’s National Armed Forces Day, which marks the 103rd anniversary of Poland’s defeat of the Soviet Union at the Battle of Warsaw on Aug 15, 1920..
Poland recently increased its military spending from 2.4 per cent of GDP to four per cent, as it buys more arms and equipment, mainly from the west. Ultimately Warsaw aims to more than double the size of its ground forces from 114,000 at present to more than 200,000. The objective being to transform Poland into continental Europe’s foremost military power.
For comparison:
The British Army ground forces currently stands at 77,000.
The French Army (including French fire fighters and the Foreign Legion) – 142,000.
The German Army – 65,000.
The Ukrainian Army (2023) – 200,000.
Along with increasing its defence spending, NATO member Poland has also reintroduced conscription and constructed new military bases and radar installations.
In the wake of the Ukraine conflict – and what looks increasingly like Ukraine’s impending military collapse – Poland’s NATO allies are eager to assist its military buildup.
Just as they were once ready to help Ukraine’s military rearm and expand they are now ready to arm and equip Poland.
Are they preparing to do with Poland what they did with Ukraine? Are they cynically using it as a stepping-stone in NATO’s expansion eastward toward Russia? Or are they setting up Poland as a bulwark to the threat the Western mainstream media (MSM) insists is posed by Russia?
Either way, don’t expect the Western MSM to tell you. Ed.
Poland displays military might in huge parade as elections loom

Poland’s biggest military parade since the Cold War took place in Warsaw on Tuesday, as the NATO-member country flexed its military muscle in what the government hoped would be both a message to Moscow and to voters ahead of elections in October.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has made boosting the armed forces a priority for Poland’s ruling nationalists Law and Justice (PiS), and with the election campaign in full swing the immense display of military hardware provided a chance to burnish their security credentials.
The Armed Forces Day parade, taking place on the 103rd anniversary of Poland’s victory over the Soviet Union in the Battle of Warsaw, saw 2,000 soldiers from Poland and other NATO countries march through the capital accompanied by 200 items of military equipment and 92 aircraft.
“August 15 is not only an opportunity to pay homage to the heroes of the victorious Battle of Warsaw and to thank contemporary soldiers for defending our homeland,” Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak told troops and onlookers who had gathered near the Vistula river.
“It is also a perfect day to show our strength, to show that we have built powerful armed forces that will effectively defend our borders without hesitation.”
PiS, in power since 2015, has vowed to double the size of the army and spend around 4% of gross domestic product (GDP) on defence this year.
President Andrzej Duda, a PiS ally, contrasted what he said was the lack of priority given to defence under the previous government with the investments made in recent years.
“The last eight years have been a time of rebuilding the Polish army,” he said. “Earlier we had the opposite situation, a decrease in the size of the Polish armed forces.”
Manual worker Dariusz Gawronski, 56, had travelled from the western town of Debno to watch the display.
“The parade gives a very good impression that we have something to defend ourselves with,” he said. “I personally feel safe.”
However, opposition lawmakers accuse the government of instrumentalising the military for its own political gain.
“I wish you (soldiers)… that you never again have to provide a background for political hatred,” Marcin Kierwinski, a lawmaker from liberal opposition party Civic Platform (PO) wrote on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
Duda, Blaszczak and other policymakers including Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki looked on as soldiers marched past, while helicopters including Black Hawks and jets including F-16s and FA-50s flew overhead.
Other equipment on display included M1A1 Abrams tanks bought from the United States, South Korean K2 tanks and K9 self-propelled howitzers as well as HIMARS rocket launchers, Patriot air defence systems and Polish-made Borsuk infantry fighting vehicles.

Let’s remember the entire Polish ruling elite were murdered in a plane crash, blamed on Russia. lol
So Poland is run by puppets, but even so, most Poles have zero interest in fighting Russia.
Looking back, I now think MI6 killed the Polish ruling elite. Sure, the US has a very minor interest in Europe and UKraine, apart from Nazi British stiring the pot, and Biden’s massive corruption in UKraine.
I think it’s touch and go if Poland enters UKraine.
The Poles! I believe them perfectly capable of offering themselves to the West as the next ‘die to the last’ state. One can only hope that the West has enough of its own problems to leave aside its ambitions to destroy Russia.
For goodness sake! What option does Russia have but to nuke these vainglorious idiots if the West does make them its new proxy?
Looks like ZOG wants to exterminate millions of white Poles too as they’re now doing with white Ukrainians. All these Presidents are Chandala Lubavitch agents: Putin/Zelensky/Duda– setting up white soldiers/civilians to be slaughtered in furtherance of Whiteocide.
hail ! the rising of a new polish fascism .
under their jewish direction .
Don’t forget the Poles started WW2
As in 1939, the stupid Poles are being set up by the British. The Russians need to make it clear that if Poland attacks Russia or Belarus, the war that follows will be one of extermination.

You realize that the last 31/2 years of the Age begins on September 24th, 2023 don’t you?
All bets are off about what Yahwey will do during these days of Jacobs Trouble.
Jews and all the alien races are on a short list of Yahwey’s enemies.

This A.I. universe made by Yahwey and his angels was to trap 1/3 of the Angels, the son’s of GOD, here in Bizzaro World called the earth.
There are 20,000,000 Angels of or son’s, of GOD. This means GOD divided them out of Himself, and 6,666,666 of them were trapped at the destruction of the world that was then! Then the God of this world was left hovering on one water world, all that was not destroyed, because GOD intended SAVE His own ,and not lose one of His son’s!
HE did it, the saving Himself, as no one else could do it. No one is perfect but GOD, and so He, did it Himself.
, and attributed it to a generation of HIMSELF.
Psalm 22:29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
Reinforcing the stereotype..
Poland started WWII. After England guaranteed their security they (the polish) continued killing and robbing ethnic Germans.Good chance they’ll start WWIII. They are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Ken are u sure about that???
Dou Poles have been killing and beating Germans since King Chrobry and the West Polish kingdom border was pretty close to Berlin at that time.
Germans in 1939 were not powerless idiots not to looking drnang nach osten. far beyond Moskau.
u start fire u died of fire simple as that my friend, (in 1945).
Yes, absolutely true. Poles started WW2. They declared war on Germany midnight 30 September,1939. As a result Germany attacked Poland a few hours later on the morning of 1 October, 1939. Looks like they want to repeat history, this time with Russia. They will face an enemy with proven better weapons, and now, fully geared up for war. Good luck Polish dullards.
