It makes sense that they won't allow their own skin to be ravaged (United States, Britain, Germany, France etc), but why not the Baltics and Poland, at this point?

I'm surprised they haven't done so, after these long months

Plus, thankfully, no other neighbour has been stupid enough to think it could defeat Russia in a conventional war on its own turf.

Speaking of. Comrade @[email protected], what's the state of war propaganda like in your neck of the woods? I heard of the army size increase and some things that smell of preparation for annexing western Ukraine, but not much else.

About a state of reality, i can't be certain, everything looks rather like just the typical mindless russophobic drive Poland always get aboard when happening, just this one is the farthest going yet. very much doubt if Poland will do anything drastic without USA approval, and i'm unsure if all the escalations are born in Warsaw or rather in the Washington. Saberratling is definitely local but Polish government had deserved reputation of being cowardly. Army size and arms increase is ongoing, but Polish army was tragicaly weak before and everything is mired in corruption and inefficiency.

About propaganda, i seen a mirror in toilet in market display proukrainian propaganda at me, it's everywhere. It's also month from parliamentary elections, the most important ones in Poland.

Thank you.

It’s also month from parliamentary elections, the most important ones in Poland.

Oh, nice. Now I know when to keep my ear to the news from Poland.

Regardless of who win the elections (i guess it's PiS again, they will either just win or falsify it) i don't see any change in bootlicking USA and UA, but if PiS lose, the actual intervention, not to mention annexation of Lwów is way less probable.
