CNN has become very hawkish.

The funniest thing about the 'pathetic Europe' bit 'leaked' out is that EVERYONE, including Europeans KNOW it's true.
Just look at the amount of people volunteering to join, to the point that conscription keeps being brought up and the lack of internal security due to barbarian invasion like we're having a repeat of the fall of Rome.
The only thing they can do is go 'we're re arming so suck it US!' like how a kid starts cleaning their room finally after tripping on all the trash surrounding them.
They've been intentionally destroying their militaries because the Leftists recognize military service as inherently right-wing. As a result they conduct massive defunding efforts, reduce training and equipment, and then conduct purges via political oversight (which all the same shit they tried to do with the Abolish The Police movement).
The most dangerous military in Europe right now is actually France, which is fucking comical.
Yep and that plan ONLY worked if the US kept footing the bill.
Now that it looks like they're not as much and openly mocking and belittling them for it, they're trapped in a tomb of their own making as they're losing the far left they courted looking like Trump's bitch, they need to increase military despite it's need to be weak to not provide a 'right wing space' at the same time they can't find the recruits because NO ONE trusts them with their lives that way.
I don't think it's intentional, but it's actually a good move to help support the Populist-Nationalist Right internationally. Some of the things Trump has done has not helped, but this will.
Poland has a larger and probably more formidable military. Having been attacked by both their east and west for centuries they understand how to prepare. All men must take training now.
It would not surprise me if Poland has to liberate Europe from Muslim incursion again.
Poland does not have a larger military, and not a more formidable one. France's Navy and Air Force is unquestionably superior. While Poland's Army is larger, the quality of their troops is probably not significantly better than France's, nor better equipped. They have more artillery, tanks, and batteries; but don't forget that France has some of the best Special Forces and Irregular Warfare units in the world.
Poland has a military designed to stall Russia, and that's about it.
Obligatory "history of French warfare" from the old days of the internet:

Every 4 years or so the German military purges right wingers
Slight correction, the most dangerous military in Europe right now is the French Foreign Legion, they rely on foreigners to protect them.
The French Foreign Legion are too small to be a real sized Army, and the French Navy is still very good (for non-US countries)
European governments hate their past, are ashamed by their heritage, they discriminate against their own people. This are not real countries anymore so why would US care about past alliances with entities without past. If European countries are just economical entities then they need to be treated as such. Either it is profitable or they can go fuck a cactus.
