That sure isn't how it went last time Poland got invaded. Their country was lost until the Allies liberated them. Same with France.

Determination does not equal manpower or firepower. If it did, there wouldn't be any Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine right now; they'd have been defeated already. That's why we're sending Ukraine war supplies.

The polish army isn't using cavalry any more. And France has nukes this time around and just for the record: France's half-surrender was the strategically optimal move in their position.

If anyone launches nukes, our whole species dies. We're trying to prevent that outcome.
