The declaration of discontinuing The Shield project was announced at Sept 17th, at 70 anniversary of Soviet aggression against Poland. The moment is symbolic, and every Pole right now has to ask himself WHY Americans did in this very moment?
Poland was the most pro-American country in the world. We were grateful for the support during the Communism. But we also remember the Yalta betrayal; during the WWII Polish Forces on the Exile fought on every war theater, even several Polish pilots on Far East. We are solid and trust ally in Iraq and Afghanistan - a week ago the next Polish soldier was killed by Taliban.
And now America is doing something like a step to the new Yalta.
The Poles are turning their thinking about America. I’m turning my point of view.
Please distinguish between the American people, who honor and respect the Polish people, and the current U.S. government, which basically got itself elected on false pretenses.
