I’m not a person who needed a link to Wikipedia to know who Kosciuzko was.
What’s lacking is a justification for attempting to deliberately provoke a nuclear war.
3,500 isn’t going to bring about a nuclear war. I think Trump is savvy enough to avoid that with a partial stand down, reducing the American presence to 800 or less. Avoiding nuclear war is hardly rocket science. What infuriates me is that Obama moved in a way designed to tie Trump’s hands, so that he’ll have to do a partial stand down, when he could have avoided the deployment altogether. Sure, the Poles are happy to see Americans, but it’s not the job of POTUS to make Poles or Israelis happy, just to be a reliable ally in a manner of his choosing. Smooth transition? Hah!
