Poland and the United States will announce next week the deployment of U.S. ground forces to Poland as part of an expansion of NATO presence in Central and Eastern Europe in response to events in Ukraine. That was the word from Poland’s defense minister, Tomasz Siemoniak, who visited The Post Friday after meeting with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel at the Pentagon on Thursday.

Siemoniak said the decision has been made on a political level and that military planners are working out details. There will also be intensified cooperation in air defense, special forces, cyberdefense and other areas. Poland will play a leading regional role, “under U.S. patronage,” he said.

Ah, didn’t you forget the part about Russia doubling the cost of natural gas to it’s dearly beloved Russian speaking compatriots in the Ukraine?

LOL

We should protect Poland; Poland has already suffered under Communism and Socialism.

e that we are now the soviet union. I don’t want us exporting our Marxism to Poland. Once was enough. There are many US company’s that have outsourced highly skilled labor to poland. It’s time to bring those jobs back. Poland can defend itself. They can ally with Germany like the soviets thought the poles were going to do before ww2.

I agree that Poland needs to reassert her rightful place as the power in Central Europe, as in the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

You’re right actually; I’m amazed at what this country has become. What a horrendous mess.

Are you certain those four females are Poles?

They look like Dow Corning creations to me.
