” If there is no agreement before then, nothing may come of all this.”
I don’t think the agreement would be worth anything if Obama is elected. There’s no way he would do anything to defend Poland, or any U.S. ally for that matter.
I am somewhat reminded of the ‘80s when Reagan determined to neutralize the Warsaw Pact SS 20 nuclear theater weapons. Did the small “theatre” state, Federal Republic of Germany go through a political upheaval in accepting the Pershing II and Tomahawks? Yes. Did they try to shake down Uncle Sam for Billion dollar bribes? Of course not.
