LOL I am willing to give Poland a pass on this but didn’t they put in an uber-liberal oppressive government over the last few years?
Sending a message to Zelenskyy would be my take on this announcement, it if is true.
Even though Turkey is a strategic location for us, drawdown the bases in Turkey as well as they are not really an ally.
Let them defend themselves.
They’ve used the money saved from defense to expand their welfare systems.
America First.
The Euroweenies can pound sand.
move them to the border!
That’s what I call a good start.
How will they ever run their socialist virtue camps (countries) if we don’t subsidize their protection.
put all 20,000 of them on the border with Mexico
Amen! It’s time the US set a new course in foreign policy and accept the Cold War is over. We need to be splitting Russia away from China. We need to rebuild our navy and set America first policies instead of the worn out and no longer relevant post-WWII foreign policies.
Increased defence spending AND illegal useless migrants the f out of our countries? Yes please.
Can’t see it happening though whilst European voters are mostly normies and the leaders themselves are personally unaffected by their stupid policies.
Your #17....I agree. There are many in Europe that side with the US especially now with Trump back.
France and Germany excluded.
A logical and reasoned perspective.
I would like to be able to support the Eastern European nations (Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Baltic States). Unfortunately, keeping troops forward deployed in these states requires the logistical infrastructure that is in Germany and the UK, and I am really not interested in defending those two basket cases. So its really “all or nothing”. And I’m leaning towards “nothing.”
and for god’s sake, pull our nukes out of Turkey.
ESPECIALLY SINCE MUSLIMS ARE SO PREVALENT THERE NOW.
When President Trump brought back V Corps he moved its European headquarters that used to be in Germany, to Poland.
Negotiating tactic to Putin?
Interesting, didn’t know that. I think we still rely heavily on Ramstein and other facilities in Germany for logistics though, no? Or maybe we’re phasing those down?
I don’t currently know all the changes, but here is a link for Poland.

Europe is many countries and Slovqk culture is quite different from Dutch for instance
