Poland “hates Russia and is gagging for a fight” which has fuelled fears over the possibility of World War 3, a defence and military expert has warned.<\/p>\n
Tensions have been increasingly strained following Russia’s invasion of Georgia in 2008, the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and most recently, Russia’s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Poland has hit Russia with crippling sanctions, while Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter early in the Ukraine war: “We must immediately respond to Russia’s criminal aggression on Ukraine Europe and the free world has to stop Putin.”<\/p>\n
Vladimir Putin recently exiled thousands of Wagner Group mercenary fighters into Belarus, fuelling concerns about destabilisation across eastern and central Europe and a possible invasion of NATO member Poland.<\/p>\n
Nicholas Drummond, a former British Army officer who is now a defence industry analyst and consultant specialising in land warfare, warned any aggression from Poland could potentially spark World War III.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When discussing the three scenarios that would require NATO to intervene in the Russia-Ukraine war, he told Daily Express US: “Firstly, if Russia decides to launch an attack through Belarus via the Wagner Group into Poland.<\/p>\n
“The Poles really hate the Russians and are gagging for a fight. We now have to be extremely careful that they don’t trigger World War III.”<\/p>\n
But Drummond warned NATO “has to be prepared and vigilant, but we’re not and that is a worry”.<\/p>\n
He added: “The second scenario for NATO intervention is the Russian economy collapses, there is a humanitarian crisis, there are riots that trigger a revolution and suddenly there are warlords vying for control of Russia’s vast nuclear arsenal.<\/p>\n

It might be in their interests to do that, and it would be easy for them to give Russia massive resources.<\/p>\n “China could give Russia 1,000 tanks tomorrow and that would be a huge uplift in their capability. There could be a mix of these scenarios so it’s still far from certain<\/p>\n “NATO has to be prepared, has to be vigilant, but we’re not and that’s a worry.”<\/p>\n DON’T MISS: <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
