What could possibly go wrong with the idea of nuclear minefields??
You’d at least know when someone tries to get through without permission.
Radiating your own nation would surely be a good indicator. Or maybe it would indicate a stray cow stepped on a nuclear land mine and now half your population has cancer.
Remind me... wasn’t this near where Russia sank their entire nuclear sub fleet in the past?

Well, in general, you bury land minds in soil, and submarines have a hard time in that medium, so I am going with no.

After the cold war, Russians had subs in an enclosed massive lake. They sank them after the end of the cold war... wish I could remember where, but it was in Europe, closer to Russia than France.

Putting a base in Poland would be a bad idea. I love Poles, but they border on Russia. Hard pass. We will just end up with another South Korea commitment that is destined to get run down like a speed bump.

I have no trouble selling them equipment and arms, though.
Poland does not border on Russia unless you count Kaliningrad. Last I checked Belarus and Ukraine are between Russia proper and Poland.

They have territory on the border, I thought. Don't they have a port city there? Or did that change too?

Russia needs to stop changing borders on me.

There is an enclave, Kaliningrad, squeezed in between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic coast. It used to be named Königsberg when it was part of East Prussia and Leonhard Euler sat there and thought about crossing all of its seven bridges without passing the same one twice.

The Russians have a lot of bases squeezed in there. It used to be the most militarized area of Russia but I think they've cut back a bit.

When I grew up, there was just this one big Russia that definitely bordered on Poland. They were scary as fuck back then. Now they make funny drunk driving videos and they have all these little spin-offs everywhere. I cannot keep up with it.
