Russia is not interested in Poland at all. We have enough of land here which is just underpopulated. The annexation of Crimea was inevitable, because it was a Russian land and it's a strategic territory (we always had our fleet and army there). As about Poland, so it has never been Russian and nobody here wants to conquer you (no reasons for that). The only parts that were annexed from your country by Stalin were joined to the Ukraine, and they are still there. Personally I've never heard about intentions of the Ukrainians to return them back. So you should be more afraid of them rather than us
P.S. All those talks about Russian threat are used by your politicians for internal needs only. As a Russian, I can assure you that your country is not mentioned even in news here just like Albania or Mongolia. To be correct, it wasn't mentioned before today...
