Since February, Warsaw has pledged to increase its defense spending to five percent of GDP. The government has struck massive arms deals with America and South Korea, including plans to turn Poland into a tank manufacturing powerhouse.
But what would it mean for Poland to have the greatest military east of France? And can the government really fulfill its spending pledges? Join us today as we analyze Central Europe’s rising power… and discuss how this shift could transform Europe for decades to come.

Greeting to Poland from Greece…..what a great people and proud nation ❤️
When the provocations at Polish-Belarus border started I was afraid that our parlament would divide, fight like children and wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Instead, in the face of real danger that bunch of fuckin idiots united and agreed to do something productive together.
Faith in Polandity restored
It's a shame that we need an armed enemy to unlock that feature 🤨
You know what’s dilusional: believe Russia is scared of polish women as soldiers, western feminists men and women, homosexuals transgenders as an army🤣🤣🤣👀
Poland will become a superpower in Europe 🇪🇺 (not much of a feat) shortly after I marry ACTRESS Julia Roberta !
Poland the Lithuanian commonwealth is getting back online
As always feminists is destroying Poland! 0 birthrates! Who they blame? Putin
From polish perspective… Very good content, lot of work, bravo
No lol Poland won't ever be a power
Poland is falling into same trap as Ukraine. Just the US building another proxy army, which Poland can't even afford to build. Why you think they are trying to extort Germany for money?
Europe for Europeans! We all nose who the troublemakers are! The evidence is clear!
🤍🤍Worldwide European Brotherhood 🤍🤍
Superpower? What a load of crap is this? Based on some asumptions only. Poland gave away 2/3 of it's tanks. Most of Krab's and so on. Polish air force is a joke. Around half of F-16's are grounded as spare parts donors. Military also has lots of 80s and 90s trucks. Polsih army is very weak and not capable to defend Poland. I am Polish.
Historically Poland has learned countries care about Poland after it is overrun. If I was Poland I would count on no other country.
Poland would have no reason to arm itself if not for its neighbor, Russia, an aggressive evil empire. The whole history of Poland is one big fight with Russia. Russia is unpredictable barbarians and you never know what will come to this empty head of the next tsar of Russia. It's time to finally plow this evil empire so that it will never threaten the world again.
Once Russia collapses someone will need to fill the power vacuum. Looks like Poland is up for the challenge.
Fantastic video
As a Polish person living in the country I can say with all certainty: we as a nation are NOT prepared for such a fundamental shift. It's something we should have been doing for the past 20 years, but our military in the past was being cannibalised for extra funds in other areas. Now our politicians are with their backs against the wall, and have to make up for decades of neglect in 3 – 5 years. Our economic situation, inflation and all is already dire, and with the increased military spending many people are afraid they might not be able to feed their families – with the prices that are around at the moment it is already a reality for many. It is possible that it will be an investment that eventually pays for itself in foreign contracts on military equipment, but I'm afraid it's the regular citizen who will have to pay the price for this development for many years. Every coin has two sides.
Poland is a vassal state of the USA and you should know better than this. Most polish folk I speak to despise Duda.
Yes and we'll probably be a war bumper yet again
Yes Poland been Biden a few times and they won't that happen again.They are a military power to be reckoned by these days.
With what we are seeing with Russia and Belarus right now, id say Poland would be wise to bulk up their Military. Japan and S Korea needs to do so as well. And (Taiwan), cause I think China has plans for the future and it's not Peace.
z Bogiem mimo strat i pomowien z kims czy bez
Poland Will attack Germany. Do unto others as they have done unto you.
We are lucky to have the Poles as friends and allies
Besides, Poland economy most stability in Europe
Hey, you named the "PIS" hard-right party? PIS is a left-wing party with strong national elements in its program. The right wing is represented in Poland by KONFEDERCJA (7% voices in Parliament) and represents hard nationalism, and hates an ill European democracy. It would be best to learn more about Poland and its political space.
The more kit you have, the more bodies and funds you need to maintian and train on that kit. take a MBT, it needs a trained crew, it needs to be maintained, and it needs support, in the field, which means you need more kit to fuel, to arm, and to heavy maintain. That support kit also needs bodies to train and maintain.
This is why Russia made such a sh*t show of itself. so much of the kit broke down, so much of the support/logistcs broke down.
The budget is not in the buying, its in the maintaining/training and upgrading.
Polish people are some of the best people I've ever come across, kind regards from Scotland 👍🏴
Old news I've already written about this 6 months ago and still growing. Poland will be the biggest manufacturer of weapons in Europe might already be. Poland will not be caught with its trousers down ever again. Plus there is massive American military presence here over a***, ***. Polish people have known about this for over a year, so this is nothing new and has already been covered.
Poland is a powerful country now
