Its funny but yes we want a functioning Democracy to defend other democracies.

[–] SoloCritical@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Exactly! It’s a pretty radical concept these days, I know.

I can understand your hesitancy, but the position of “Threat to Global Peace and the World Order” has already been taken. We do have an opening for “Bastion of the Free World” and we encourage you to apply. All things considered, you would be a great fit for the role.

It reminds me of an old Polish joke:

A Pole finds a magic lamp, strokes it, and a genie comes out.

"I will grant you three wishes. They can be anything your heart desire."

"I wish for the Mongols to invade Poland!'

"Ok? It is done"

The Mongol hordes sweep through Poland, ransack the country, then go back the way they came.

"I am ready for my second wish. I want the Mongols to invade Poland again!"

"Are you sure? I can give you anything your heart wishes."

"Yes. I am sure"

The Mongols come again, do some more pillaging, and return home.

"And now for my third wish. I want the Mongol hordes to invade Poland a third time."

"Are you really sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Before I grant you your wish, would you mind explaining me why you would want that not once but thrice?"

"It's very simple: Whenever the Mongols come to Poland they have to cross Russia twice!"

The US really is just this hateful polish guy. A solid 35% of americans would happily raze our own country than let one poor person have a subsidized lunch.

This is so funny. I just told my wife, who's Ukrainian, this joke and she burst out laughing.
Also, as Canadians. We wish there were mongol hordes we could get to invade us, through the US.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Mongols. Mongols would need to cross both Russia and US.

It might work this time!

Alternative you could go by boat, but I'd advice is to travel by land because I expect Poland will join you. (or it's just I'm hoping they will)

[–] Saryn@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I know its a joke but just to note: I'd love to see Germany "march through Poland" given the poor state of Germany's armed forces. As it is rn, Poland alone could most likely reach Russia's heart in a couple of weeks of conventional warfare and debilitate Russian critical infrastructure long before that. Barring nukes of course, which is basically all the Kremlin would have to hang on to in a full out direct confrontation given just how incompetent their armed forces have proven to be.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'll have you know that we are perfectly capable to march through allied territory... as long as they have well developed infrastructure

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

...which complicates marching through Germany

It kind of reminds me of Terminator 2; where its essentially the exact same story is T1 except this time the previous bad guy is the good guy.

Germany starts world war 3

The rest of the world: “how do we keep falling for this?”

"Ww3 this time we're the good guys!" Smaller print "We've double checked and had it put in writing."
