Why would Russia invade Poland

You sheep are ridiculous
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,1939 calling.

They hate Poland, not sure they are in any fit state to invade Poland anytime in the next couple of decades though.

Do you think Ukraine will satisfy them?

I can't see it being Poland but the land grab will continue after Ukraine imo, Georgia probably next or one of the easier targets.

If the US leave NATO, i'd be worried being a baltic state.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely zero chance of going after Poland. Not least the fact the Polish army is well prepared these days and would stop them with ease.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not if he drops a tactical nuke - which he might if he thinks the US won’t respond

All bets are off now
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Christ!!!! Yeah, you got me, Putin will drop tactical nukes on mainstream Europe with no backlash.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eastern Europe and no backlash from the US or China - absolutely.

I doubt we would step in and no chance the French would. If it’s a tactical nuke they will downplay it - not a real nuke etc.

But as other have said, I don’t know how high Poland is on Putins list - Moldova and Georgia seem like far more likely targets after Ukraine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely no chance Russia tries to take on Poland.

Russia have been humiliated the last few years in their struggle to overcome backwater Ukraine, they wouldn't risk being humiliated on a wider scale.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope not

The peace deal will entail ukraine conceding the loss (for now) of the territorys occupied by Russia and in return Russia will have to suck up Ukraine joining the EU.

Why is everyone talking about other countries? Ukraine are a very specific case. They had an agreement to stay neutral and never try to become a NATO state.

Russia doesn’t care about expanding, have you seen their land mass? They care about defending themselves from the Western creep towards them and keeping America in particular off its borders.

Putin’s not going to jump from the misery of this war for minute areas of land, relatively speaking, to a big war with Poland / mainland Europe / NATO.

Of course Russia wants to expand its influence and sphere, just like the USA, don't be ridiculous and naive.

It's not just Ukraine that had an agreement to stay neutral. NATO wasn't supposed to move east and Russia could attack a number of countries on that excuse.

Finally, in this respect, who cares if Putin can jump from one war to another. Doesn't matter if it's immediately or after 20 years. Russia would do it in their own time, just like they did with Ukraine. You're interpreting things with stoicism.

Can you show these other nations equivalent of Ukraine’s ‘Declaration of State Sovereignty’? Maybe I am naive.

IMO though Russia want the hassle of war less than most whereas the US invite & often incite it at every opportunity. I went to school in the US and travel back multiple times a year so I’d love to pretend they’re not the protagonists in most of these fights for global positioning.
