So we can bring all the troops home from NATO?
How will be Poles feel about that? They love their history when you guys and the Russians get going.
Again, if NATO exists, you can’t treat this as a simple commercial transaction and the bigger issue of Whither NATO? must be addressed.
If the answer is Disband NATO, and it becomes a simple commercial transaction, then so be it. But it isn’t simple right now.
And there are plenty of examples of Russians being obnoxious out in the world. Fortunately they can’t afford much obnoxiousness right now.
Russians aren’t threatening Poland and Poland certainly doesn’t seem any threatened. And in terms of commercial relations Poland is an EU member first and a NATO member second.
Like it or not but the quality of life the Polish people enjoy is in large part the result of subsidies and development programs paid by German taxpayers. That and a million Polish workers employed in Germany and sending money back home.
And by the way you laughed at my Mexican example but as it is evident that Russia is not invading Germany or Poland you can’t say the same about Mexico vis-a-vis US.
