Poland Introduces Mandatory Military Training for Adult Males Amid Growing European Security Concerns

ai generated text

Poland's government, led by Donald Tusk, is developing a plan to implement large-scale military training for every adult male citizen. The motivation behind this effort is a response to concerns about international security in Europe, specifically the fear that if Ukraine is defeated by Russia, the latter will target other European countries, including Poland. Poland's current military strength stands at approximately 200,000 soldiers, which is the largest in the European Union, and is expected to reach 220,000 by the end of the current year.

    1. We must be aware that Poland must reach for the most modern possibilities, also related to nuclear weapons and modern unconventional weapons.
    2. I say this with full responsibility, it is not enough to purchase conventional weapons, the most traditional ones. The battlefield is changing before our eyes from month to month.
    3. This is a serious race: a race for security, not for war.
    4. We will try to have a model ready by the end of this year, so that every adult male in Poland is trained in the event of war, so that this reserve is really comparable and adequate to potential threats.
    5. Today, the situation for Poland and in particular for Ukraine is more difficult than it was a few months ago, and we have to deal with this fact.
    6. Today we are talking about the need for a half-million army in Poland.
    7. Let's face it: it's not something nice, nothing pleasant. We know that very well.
    8. If Ukraine loses the war or if it accepts the terms of peace, armistice, or capitulation in such a way that weakens its sovereignty and makes it easier for (Russian President Vladimir) Putin to gain control over Ukraine, then, without a doubt — and we can all agree on that — Poland will find itself in a much more difficult geopolitical situation.

    1. We will have a return to the chivalric ethos and to the fact that men should also be soldiers – that is, be able to expose themselves even to death.
