Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, made the comments in an 8,000-word article on Russian-Polish relations, saying Moscow now had a "dangerous enemy" in Poland.

Poland, which has backed Ukraine, accuses Russia of trying to destabilise the country with disinformation campaigns and espionage. Moscow has condemned what it sees as Warsaw's hostile stance towards it and Russian interests in Poland.

There was no immediate response to Medvedev's comments from Poland.

Lol, does all of Russia suffer from short man syndrome? They clearly know that they're just blowing smoke because any attack on Poland would trigger article 5 and get their shit stomped in. They can't even get through Ukraine, what makes them think they can take on even one NATO power, let alone NATO itself?

Tbf there are non-militarily ways to bring down a country. Like election meddling and so on.

Tricky to do in a country that just had one.
