How much of our treasure do we have to continue to give to the Europeans?
Build your own stinking missle shield.
Intercept the incoming warheads yourself.
Enough is enough.
Time to end NATO right now.
And get us the heck out of the UN.
Never going to happen. No US administration will do it and not now with a Russian military re-emergence.
Um... those warheads would most likely be vectoring for U.S. cities. I don't blame the Poles for negotiating for something in return. They are very friendly to the U.S. - but they will always start high. Never offer your compromise as a start to negotiations.
Presumably, you are also one of those Americans who believes all those ‘forn bases are there for the benefit of the host country, courtesy of the limitless benevolence and totally selfless impulses of good old Uncle Sam. Actually, their primary reason is because it is in America’s strategic interest to have a base there. Any benefits for the host country are primarily economic rather than military.
Placing these missile sites doesn’t protect the host country, it gives the continental US more time to respond to a threat to her own territory. It does F all for the host country except make them a primary target for an initital nuclear strike to take out the shield .....
End NATO, you are so wrong. Get rid of the U.N. is more like it.
We owe Poland and they have been great allies to us. We gave their country to the Russians after WWII, ever heard of the Warsaw Pact?
We want missiles there and they have legitimate concerns. They need to be able to handle them. They are our friends, not our enemies and unlike any other country in Europe.
Well look at that, a whole new way to spell Vlad Putin, Jonathan. Nice try comrade, but no cigar!
