According to the website of the United Arab Emirates' National News on July 9th, Poland will become a combat superpower in Europe.

According to reports, military experts say that Poland will ignite a lot of heavy metal noise by forming more armored divisions than any other country on the European continent, thus becoming a military superpower in Europe.

Warsaw is purchasing over 1000 tanks and 600 artillery, which means its firepower will exceed the combined firepower of Britain, France, Germany, and Italy.

In the current situation where Russia is seen as an "extremely hostile" threat, Warsaw has decided to double the size of its army to 300000 personnel, while investing heavily in the procurement of armored vehicles, aircraft, missiles, and drones.

It will form six armored divisions, putting France and Germany, each with two armored divisions, and Britain, which only has one armored division, in comparison.

Experts point out that as military strength increases, Poland will also be able to exert more influence in the political field, which will have an impact on European politics.

Although Poland's geographical proximity to Russia means that its military power is always strong, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has fundamentally changed Warsaw's thinking.

Brig Ben Barry of the British Institute for International Strategic Studies said: "With the rapid growth of defense spending, this has become a transformative moment. Poland's interpretation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is that Russia will be extremely hostile for a long time, and they will learn from Ukraine."

He added that Poland's plan to increase the number of its armored divisions from 4 to 6 proves that it is "igniting a lot of heavy metal noise".

Former NATO spokesperson Jamie Shea agreed with this. He said, "Poland will become the most powerful land-based military power in Central and Eastern Europe."

This "heavy metal clamor" has appeared this month in the form of 33 new M1 Abrams main battle tanks, which are part of a $4.9 billion order for 250 tanks. These tanks will replace an equal number of Russian made T-72 tanks.

But the main procurement project is 1000 K2 "Black Panther" main battle tanks from South Korea, with the first batch of 10 tanks already arriving. Poland will open a factory to manufacture at least 800 tanks of this type using licensed production methods in the next 10 years.

Another $10 billion order has also been placed, which includes 468 sets of the Hamas multiple rocket launcher system - a weapon that has been proven to be extremely effective in Ukraine - as well as 218 export versions of the South Korean K239 Tianwu rocket launcher system.

In addition, Poland has expressed interest in purchasing 100 Apache attack helicopters and renting MQ-9 Reaper drones.

Last year, the Polish Minister of Defense - during his tenure, Poland's military budget more than doubled to 5% of GDP - promised that Poland would have "the strongest ground forces in Europe.".

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary General of NATO, Shay, also believes that Poland's ground forces will become the strongest army in Europe.

Shey said, "Poland is currently appearing as an army superpower in Central and Eastern Europe. Through its various military purchases, it will ultimately have more tanks than the combined number of Britain, Germany, France, and Italy, which will be quite unusual."

According to reports, Alice Billion Garland of the Royal Institute for International Studies in the UK said that if Poland gains its superpower status, people will question whether it intends to play a "leadership role" in NATO security, especially in the Baltic Sea and Nordic countries.

She said, "There will be a question: if Poland does indeed have stronger strength and greater capabilities, what does it intend to do in the alliance? Does this mean that Poland will have a greater impact on the alliance and its strategic leadership?"

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
