I also believe that. People locally are quite more wary understandably so, given history, but I also believe Poland, a EU and NATO country would not be invaded as lightly. Even from the logistical point of view, Poland has borders with many friendly countries and shipments of weapons and personnel would be to easy for the relatively weak Russian conventional forces. All this unless a Ribbentrop-Molotov happens again but I dont see it.

Right. And I totally understand why the people of Poland would not just blindly assume NATO would keep them safe. Nobody should leave their security to others. It’s just strange to me when people act like it isn’t a huge part of the calculus, or that invading a NATO nation is an obvious next move for Russia, when 70 years of history indicates otherwise.
