They move armies around to make political problems for Trump.
The Democrats don’t use US troops for real fighting. They use their usual Democrat ground troops, al qaeda, for that. US troops are political chess pieces.
It’s beyond absurd to protect Poland from the Russians. Lech Walesa made them wish they never stepped foot in Poland. Why isn’t Obama moving the troops to Crimea?
Ukraine had 29% Russian speakers in the country and they were all in the area that Russia annexed. Poland has 0.1% Russian speakers. That is from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distribution_of_Russian_speakers
“Ukraine had 29% Russian speakers in the country and they were all in the area that Russia annexed. Poland has 0.1% Russian speakers.”
Even though you’re right, the Neocons here won’t accept it.
The bottom line, which I’m sure you know, is to to have a CREDIBLE defense in Poland and the Baltics against a Russia that wants to invade would require a standing army of 500,000 American troops are so, which would mean basically every ground troop we have. Otherwise, Russia will be able to roll over whatever we station there. Heck, we have 40,000 in Korea and everyone knows it’s just a tripwire to buy time if the Norks invade...and that’s against a backwards country that is one tenth the size of Russia.
Bottom line is that if Russia wants to invade Poland, Russia WILL invade Poland - we simply do not have a conventional military with near the deterrent capability to stop them.
The question then becomes - what’s making people (Obama and the Neocons) so convinced that Russia will invade Poland?
