POWDER KEG EUROPE: Polish PM Donald Tusk Announces Military Training for All Adult Males, Vows To Pursue Access to Nuclear Weapons

All over Europe, nations are scrambling to rearm at a frantic pace, but probably no one has put the warmongering quite as much into overdrive as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Speaking to Parliament today, Tusk vowed to more than double the size of Poland’s army, to militarily train every adult man in the country, and also to pursue nuclear weapons.

The PM told the Sejm that preparations are ongoing for ‘large-scale military training for every adult male in Poland’.

BBC reports:

“’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 comparable and adequate to the potential threats’.”

Tusk said the Ukrainian army has 800,000 soldiers, whilst Russia has around 1.3 million and he wants to increase the size of the Polish army, including reservists, to 500,000 from around 200,000 now.

“’We’re talking about the need to have an army of half a million in Poland, including the reservists’, he said. ‘It seems if we organize things wisely, and I’m talking constantly with the Minister of Defense, we will have to use several courses of action. That means the reservists, but also intensive training to make those who do not go into the army fully-fledged and competent soldiers during a conflict’, he added.”
