It wasn’t even really a full blown PLC-Tsardom war at that moment, it was more akin to few powerful magnates pet project. Think Gates, Musk and Bezos getting Blackwater and few more PMCs to invade Mexico and occupy the capital.

It’s based on a joke: “Little Jimmy is practicing karate, so nobody messes with him at school, but those trashy kids from other school one day beat Jimmy up – they didn’t know, that Jimmy is practicing karate.”

I mean, he’s referencing the Miracle over the Vistula. Not sure why you decided to bring up the 1610 events here.

Didn’t this war eventually lead to the USSR losing some land to Poland, which Stalin wanted to get back by splitting Poland with Hitler? Everyone knows the disastrous consequences to Poland in WW2.
How is Tusk talking about this war like it’s something to brag about?

Thats the spirit!
In this case he’s referring to the ‘Miracle on the Vistula’ in 1920, which was the main turning point of the Polish-Soviet War.
And then ended up eating their own out of starvation while besieged in the Moscow Kremlin in 1612
Poland being based again.
How many nuclear weapons has Russia 105 years ago? Then…
There were no nukes 105 years ago. And Poland had an army.
Poland continues to be the glimmer of hope for Europe
So desperate to be at least somehow relevant.
Ursula out, Tusk in. Europe needs people that understand hard power, rather than hollow words.
Grazie.
Trump will say. “I don’t know. I wasn’t there.”
