Contrary to media-political propaganda, we are not legally at war with anyone, especially Russia. Afghanistan and Iraq have not declared war on us either, even though we entered their territory armedly without their permission.
I do not know how actual are the statements about our military presence in Ukraine (it is said that our soldiers have already died there), but as far as I know we are besides not at war with this country. It is actual that abroad troops are stationed in our territory and we are materially supporting 1 of the fighting parties in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict: we give a crucial part (most of it?) of armored equipment, ammunition supplies, supply fuel, electricity (likely for free). The argument that we are not at war is besides confirmed by officials claiming that we are surviving in a pre-war time, or the best yet before us.
There are besides first changes in the authoritative communicative about the Ukrainian-Russian War which broke out in February 2022. First it was simply a "war" (i.e. before there was peace), then it was a "full-scale war" (i.e. before that date any kind of war was declared retroactively), and then it was "our war", but NATO officially denied that it was in a state of war with Russia. So far, citizens have not asked whether we want to wage war with anyone. It follows that this "our war" is simply a private enterprise of our political class, which at our expense gives vent of its burning hatred of communists (POPiS derives, as it claims, from the "anti-communist opposition").
In conclusion, we, as citizens and our country, are not at war with Russia; it is only to attack us, and erstwhile it drags on, we will officially enter Ukraine and thus end the "pre-war" time to the general satisfaction of all, especially the "geostrategs"; this will be very crucial for them, due to the fact that so far their forecasts do not want to be met.
Ironically, I would like to propose to our officials that they hurry up with the fresh Kiev expedition, due to the fact that the “warring Ukraine” can end its war. This is already referred to even in the propaganda media of our country (there are no others): citizens of this country do not want to die on the east Front, they run massively from conscription and migrants (there are millions of them): they do not want to return to fulfil their civic duty. It is said that the front troops of this country have not been relaxed (as it is called in the military nomenclature) for 2 years, which is shocking.
In the average planet of war, wars ended erstwhile there were no warriors or deficiency of weapons or money. Weapons and weapons have been supplied from the very beginning by another countries. Ukraine was bled out and peopled to tease Russia in any unusual belief that Ukrainians would fight bravely to the end and lay down a blood donation in “our war.” For hundreds of thousands (millions?) of men of this country, this is most likely no longer a "their" war, and by force sent to the front soldiers will desert and surrender at any opportunity. So the end of our war may be near?
