> And what else would you propose they do. Of course they will place them there, that doesn't mean threat of invasion is high.

It is so exactly because those guys are being deterred by Polish tank divisions. They see their big, scary guns, and tremble in fear.

Poland is all flat land. It is very vulnerable to tank armies. If that deterrence wasn't there, Poland would've been invaded by Russians.

The Kremlin seeing it all well, and Putin having not the worst military education himself, know they have very little chance to mount a direct attack.

This is exactly why they've been working on the "Southern Route" for more than a decade. They want to attack Europe from its soft Southern underbelly.
