Poland's plan to resist a Russian attack

from Consider This from NPR

As a neighbor of Ukraine's and host to more than 2 million of its war refugees, Poland has seen, heard and felt what Russia is capable of, and it's now preparing for the worst. This year, Poland will spend nearly 5% of its GDP on defense, more than any other NATO member, including the U.S. NPR's Rob Schmitz reports on the country's plan to train every adult in Poland for war.
