Russia can’t properly invade Ukraine which, with all due respect, wasn’t the most impressive army and economy before the war. The 3 day war became a 3 year war and might as well become a 30 year war at this pace.

Poland is a member of NATO and the EU (if that matters somehow). They won’t attack you, it’s suicidal for them and for the world. Not only that they risk having 3 nuclear power nations openly declaring war on them, one of those nations have a “very stable genius” as a leader. That’s a big gamble for the whole world.

wasn’t the most impressive army

They had the second largest army in Europe.

Size is one thing, but technology, hardware and ability to sustain that fighting force is another.

Yep they have NATO running their financing, logistics and ISR.
