Introduction – Feb 7, 2023

Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has just warned of a potential impending war with Russia. The trouble is he’s not alone.

I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or whether they are all reading from the same prompt sheet but similar forecasts have been made by other Western defence experts in recent weeks:

-> The British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps also recently warned that we could soon be at war with Russia or China or Iran. Or indeed all three combined.

-> Shapps was echoed by British Army veteran Robert Clark, who likewise warned that the West must prepare for war with Russia.

-> While Admiral Rob Bauer, the chairman of NATO’s Military Committee recently urged Western civilians and governments to prepare for cataclysmic conflicts.

Now all the above have been joined by Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, which suggests to this writer that something may indeed be planned to happen.

Whether it does or not remains to be seen. But if a major conflict does erupt in the coming months, don’t believe anyone if they try to convince you that it was unplanned or unexpected. Ed.

Poland preparing for threat of war with Russia, defence minister says

Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said that his country must urgently prepare for the threat of war with Russia, in an interview published on Monday.

Kosiniak-Kamysz was asked by the newspaper Super Express whether he considered Russia’s military defeat of Ukraine and a subsequent invasion of Polish territory a possibility.

“I expect every scenario and take the worst ones most seriously. That is the task of a defence minister in the situation we find ourselves in today,” the conservative politician replied.

Kosiniak-Kamysz, 42, said that he had “not just said these words out of the blue,” but had weighed them up carefully.

Poland is a member of the European Union and the NATO military alliance.

He said Poland’s Defence Ministry has already begun concrete steps to prepare for the threat, including examining gaps in armaments supplies for the military.

Although large-scale armaments procurements are very important, the individual equipment of each soldier must be taken just as seriously, he said.

He said that Poland intends to play a very important role in the common defence of the European Union.
