  1.  @ChrisFranzVonMüller  To be fair, military power is usually dependent on economic power, Germany might have a weak military now, but that can change quickly if needed, just for now, Germany is a very passive nation and probably because of its history. But history is history now and Germany should be pulling its weight on the military front and should have one of the most powerful if not the most powerful in Europe because of how big it's economy is. As for Poland, they are a rising military power and frankly, I don't blame them for everything that's happening on the east but superpower? No chance, they don't have the economic muscle to pull that off, even if they were a fully modern nation, the military power would be limited because of its economy and population size. The irony is, the best option for both countries is to pool resources through the EU and to create a super military that serves the same purpose of defending its members interest, that would be far more potent and useful for its members compared to the individual militaries which many of them seem like puppets of the US, in other words, weak and imagine how things would be in Ukraine now if we had a strong EU military, the war might never have started or the EU would have a much stronger voice to back Ukraine with far less division, a case we are seeing with Germany and Poland, the division is our biggest weakness in Europe, something that the likes of Trump, Putin and Xi are quite happy to take advantage off by dividing us among each other, and they've been quite successful at that. With all that said, it's in Germany's and Poland's interest to solve these problems because of being neighbouring countries and because of the political and economic ties that being so close to each other brings.
