"Hundreds of Polish residents took to the streets to give a hero's welcome to a convoy of U.S. troops who are driving through eastern Europe and deliver a damning message to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Children climbed on to Stryker armoured vehicles and even offered souvenirs to the troops, who stopped to pose for pictures in the main square of the eastern Polish town of Bialystok.
Meanwhile other residents lined the roads and applauded as the troops from the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the American Army passed by."
"The scenes mirrored those in France after Paris was liberated at the end of the Second World War when crowds of French citizens lined the streets to greet the American soldiers after German troops were forced from the region.
The soldiers have recently been taking part in the Atlantic Resolve exercise, which was intended to demonstrate NATO's readiness to defend its members."

I can’t wait for the American-hating, pro-Putin catamites to show up to denounce these folks.
Good to see. Perhaps time to put a couple of brigades there on a semi-permanent basis.
Poland has seen occupation for most of the past 100 years (and much of the same before that) they know what communism and Nazism are all about and want nothing to do with them. It may be the only other country I would consider living in.
Reminds me of the photos of the liberation of Paris back in ‘44. You don’t see much of this nowadays.
The Poles have been worried, deeply worried that the Soviet age is about to be reborn, one stolen village at a time.
Obama must not have had a choice but to authorize out troops over there. Plus, he’s presently engaged in a bit of saber rattling with Putin, so the Poles are collateral winners.
We considered moving there. I loved Poland and it’s people. They were particularly friendly to me as a ‘Yank’.
Russian war prep?
Should we survive the war that our quota-boy president is sure to get us into, I truly hope that he will go to prison (one where he’ll be the mama to many) after his trial and sure conviction.
Hey Poles, you are good people. Just realize most of the troops are great guys. But the some of the top brass and the CIC will f^*$&^& you any time they get the chance.
‘Twas the Poles, I believe, who provided Turing with the first set of hints on the operation of the Nazi enigma machine.
For that alone they should be protected.
“They’re Nazis, funded by Soros!”
These troops will keep driving and be gone next week. Obama showed his true concern for the Poles when he scrapped the missile shield in ‘09. Obama has no fight him and Putin knows it.
Dude, your Putinista logic (granted it’s parody) cracks me up.
Of course not, hillary gave him the reset button!
Maybe the Poles remember KATYN.
Yup. Everything changed when Ukraine attacked Russia.
RT tweeted that in fact, those were not Poles, but Blackwater mercenaries. John McCain was spotted driving an APC
