There are several hypotheses that we either debunk or uphold together with Captain Lisowski. Among them: “The Polish army is currently one of the strongest in Europe,” “Poland leads NATO in terms of the percentage of GDP allocated to defense,” and “Things are going very well, and they will only get better.”
World War III is coming?
There are also questions: How much truth is there in the song politicians, media, and the internet eagerly hum along to? How much have we given to Ukraine, and did we do it out of pure empathy? Is the Polish army rigid, as many commentators claim, or is it a commendable innovator in the world, as we’d like to believe? We ask these questions to military expert and commentator Captain Maciej Lisowski.
Key points of the conversation:
- How much does Poland spend on defense today compared to previous years? Is it a significant amount?
- What is the Ministry of National Defense (MON) investing heavily or too heavily in, and what are they under-investing in?
- From whom do we purchase the most weapons?
- What is the state of our domestic defense industry?
- Does the professionalization of the army positively impact soldiers’ morale?
- Is Poland ready to open its defense market to private companies, and should it even consider doing so?
- How are we using Ukraine’s experiences?
- Why shouldn’t we send Polish troops to Ukraine as part of a NATO stabilization mission?
- Will Donald Trump destroy NATO and Europe?
- Is the U.S. still our ally?
- How can we defend the Baltic states and Finland from Putin?
- Is the Polish army ready for World War III?
