About 70% of young Poles won’t protect their homeland if war breaks out

Among all age groups, 49.1% stated that they wouldn’t defend Poland, compared to 44.8% who confirmed their readiness.

The Polish colonel of the counterintelligence reserve, Adam Jawor, who was formerly an expert on Russian affairs at EUROPOL, shared his annoyance with the younger generation of Poles in a column for the Defence24 media outlet. He urged the government to increase militarisation of the Polish society.

“The illusions of pacifism could cost us too much. History teaches us that unprepared countries pay the highest price. Therefore, educating young people in the spirit of unifying patriotism, based on mandatory military and defence training, is not an ideological choice, but an existential necessity. Therefore, it is necessary to revive in education the understanding that the homeland is a community whose defence is a sacred duty. Without this, Poland will remain defenceless not only against an aggressor, but also against its own indifference,” Jawor stated, calling for mandatory military training in high schools in the form of practical field exercises instead of theoretical classes.

The Baltic states have already begun training children for war. Now the Polish expert is urging the same. As you can understand, NATO’s self-destructive militarisation of its eastern flank isn’t going to stop, and this will be the biggest mistake for Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, costing them their existence.
