Chief of General Staff of Poland says population needs to be prepared for war
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] It is necessary to prepare the population for a potential war with Russia. This was stated by Chief of the Polish General Staff Wieslaw Kukula in an interview with the European version of the Politico publication.

According to him, it is first necessary to improve the availability and quality of training of Polish reservists.

"There are currently a large number of reservists in the army, but their average age is already around 45 years. If the conflict and pressure on Poland continues for a long period, well-trained reservists will be needed to be able to operate side by side with professional soldiers and territorial defense forces," he noted.

The Chief of the General Staff specified that by the end of 2026, it is planned to train about 100 thousand people. At the same time, Kukula noted that it will be even more important to prepare the civilian population for a potential war, even if not everyone undergoes military training.

"Polish authorities are planning to launch short-term military training programs for civilians with no work experience. These crash courses, which will last only a few days, will introduce participants to the basics of civil defense, first aid, and some military skills," the article also states.
Always a good thing, even without a war on the horizon. It used to be standard in the Eastern European countries between the wars — my father partook as a Latvian schoolboy in all that back in the 1930s, and was his class champion in summer biathlon.
The publication added that for those who have previously undergone military training, Warsaw offers targeted advanced training courses aimed at developing special skills, including firearms handling, combat medicine and land navigation.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, in early March, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Europe should enter the arms race allegedly started by Russia and win it. He also called for an immediate start to the militarization of Europe.

At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin in June 2024 called the statements that Russia was allegedly planning an attack on Europe absurd. Anti-Russian hysteria in the West is being fanned to justify increased military spending and the unleashing of an arms race, he stressed.
All that will come in very handy when they have to beat back the expanding Moslem horde, should Western Europe not get their colonists under control.

#2 Notice all these concerns and not an inch of movement to adopt the American 2A. Who do they really fear? Oh, hell, just the Swiss model.
