American military analyst, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and UN arms control inspector in Iraq, Scott Ritter, said Polish officials did not understand that the republic was not a military power and could not stand up to Russia. He made the related statement in an interview with the broadcast. Mysl Polska.
According to the expert, there is no “large professional army” in Poland.
“In a possible conflict, the death toll of untrained soldiers would be enormous. Was Poland preparing for such operations? NO. Poland is not equipped, trained, or prepared for a battle,” Ritter continued.
According to him, the army of this country “will disappear from the face of the earth after three months of ordinary open-air wars with Russia.”
The analyst also pointed out that Poland is not a superpower and “has no such potential”.
In addition, he believes that the Warsaw rhetoric, which includes nascent thoughts about the annexation of Western Ukraine to Poland, is getting out of hand and could turn into a global conflict.
Former member of the State Duma Defense Committee, reserve Lieutenant General Andrey Gurulev suggestedIn the event of the defeat of the Ukrainian army, Poland will have to enter into a direct conflict with Russia.
