I hope our boys are having a good time there.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki:
"I look at the latest developments, including Helsinki, where it might have been that one president of our neighboring country (Putin) was pressuring the U.S. president for concessions. But I have not seen any concessions, neither as regards the annexation of Crimea nor the war in Ukraine," Morawiecki said.
"None of the voices that were appearing beforehand as hypothetically possible - concessions by the United States - have materialized. So I don't see where he (Trump) has made any significant concessions.
Poland is the biggest former communist country in both the European Union and NATO, and has called for the alliance to boost its defenses, especially after Russia seized Ukraine's Crimea peninsula in 2014.
"NATO's eastern flank needs to be strengthened because Russia's aggressive policy has not, unfortunately, ended," Morawiecki said. "This aggression hasn't diminished in any way. President Trump must have come to the same conclusions."
Poland has repeatedly requested a permanent U.S. military presence on its soil and has offered up to $2 billion in funding for such a base. U.S. soldiers are now present on its soil through NATO's back-to-back rotation.
Last March, Poland signed its largest arms deal ever, agreeing with the United States to buy Raytheon Co's Patriot missile defense system for $4.75 billion. Its plan to boost air defenses is aimed at deterring Russia, which has long opposed the formerly-communist countries' integration with NATO.

The Hungarians did; the Poles were never taken over by the daned Muslim Ottoman Empire, but the poor Hungarians were...Muslims, the Hapsburgs, the Nazis, the stinking Commies...NEVER AGAIN!
I hope our boys are having a good time there.
I would surrender!

Pipe cleaner legs.
Good list and you’re spot on!
Sorry, those hotties in uniform are Russian. The high heeled shoes should be the give away. LOL.
“Seriously, the Poles are a tough bunch.”

Exactly. President Trump has taken some strict measures against Russian transgressions and didn’t compromise on anything but diplomatic talk in the recent summit. So the treasonous bipartisan monkey chorus should shut up with its distraction for sedition and knock it off. We’re in a fight for retaining our freedoms as Americans against domestic enemies—gangsters.
By the way, *any* Republican politician who spoke against President Trump’s work at the summit with Putin should be replaced with a pro-American conservative. Keep their names prominent in infamy and take care of that in your respective states.
Our priority enemies right now are a few anti-American plutocrats and backstabbing trading partners trying to illegally and unconstitutionally take our President out of office.
But we can never forgive them for Rob Reiner.
LOL
His dad was a card, but he may have been just as bad politically. I tend to doubt it, but what the hey.
What a seriously great people are the Poles.
Maybe the Trump Administration should emphasize trade initiatives with the “New Europe” by way of tariffs (against other, backstabbing nations to the west), other taxes and other measures. Overly favored, influential constituents of the left must be broken. They’ve been incrementally destroying the U.S.A. for decades.
And as for renegade bureaucrats, they should have already been fired. So encourage the Administration to fire their bosses already, and *get the vote out* for the midterms now! Wear the bumper stickers and signs and stop being chickens. Fight!
Nobody knows as much as American Leftists./s
Lest we forget Polish soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War...
Kazimierz Michał Władysław Wiktor Pułaski of Ślepowron; March 4 or March 6, 1745 – October 11, 1779) was a Polish nobleman, soldier and military commander who has been called, together with his Hungarian friend Michael Kovats de Fabriczy, "the father of the American cavalry".
Born in Warsaw and following in his father's footsteps, he became interested in politics at an early age and soon became involved in the military and the revolutionary affairs in Poland (the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth). Pulaski was one of the leading military commanders for the Bar Confederation and fought against Russian domination of the Commonwealth. When this uprising failed, he was driven into exile. Following a recommendation by Benjamin Franklin, Pulaski immigrated to North America to help in the cause of the American Revolutionary War. He distinguished himself throughout the revolution, most notably when he saved the life of George Washington. Pulaski became a general in the Continental Army, created the Pulaski Cavalry Legion and reformed the American cavalry as a whole. At the Battle of Savannah, while leading a daring charge against British forces, he was gravely wounded, and died shortly thereafter.
Pulaski is remembered as a hero who fought for independence and freedom in both Poland and the United States. Numerous places and events are named in his honor, and he is commemorated by many works of art. Pulaski is one of only eight people to be awarded honorary United States citizenship. He never married and had no descendants.
Andrzej Tadeusz Bonawentura Kościuszko (Andrew Thaddeus Bonaventure Kosciuszko; February 4 or 12, 1746 – October 15, 1817) was a Polish-Lithuanian military engineer, statesman, and military leader who became a national hero in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the United States. He fought in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth's struggles against Russia and Prussia, and on the U.S. side in the American Revolutionary War. As Supreme Commander of the Polish National Armed Forces, he led the 1794 Kościuszko Uprising.
Kościuszko was born in February 1746, in a manor house on the Mereczowszczyzna estate in Nowogródek Voivodeship, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. At age 20, he graduated from the Corps of Cadets in Warsaw, Poland. After the start of civil war in the Bar Confederation in 1768, Kościuszko moved to France in 1769 to study. He returned to Poland in 1774, two years after its First Partition, and took a position as tutor in Józef Sylwester Sosnowski's household. After Kościuszko attempted to elope with his employer's daughter and was severely beaten by the father's retainers, he returned to France. In 1776, Kościuszko moved to North America, where he took part in the American Revolutionary War as a colonel in the Continental Army. An accomplished military architect, he designed and oversaw the construction of state-of-the-art fortifications, including those at West Point, New York. In 1783, in recognition of his services, the Continental Congress promoted him to brigadier general.
Upon returning to Poland in 1784, Kościuszko was commissioned as a major general in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth Army in 1789. After the Polish–Russian War of 1792 resulted in the Second Partition of Poland, he organized an uprising against Russia in March 1794, serving as its Naczelnik (commander-in-chief). Russian forces captured him at the Battle of Maciejowice in October 1794. The defeat of the Kościuszko Uprising that November led to Poland's Third Partition in 1795, which ended the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth's independent existence for 123 years. In 1796, following the death of Tsaritsa Catherine the Great, Kościuszko was pardoned by her successor, Tsar Paul I, and he emigrated to the United States. A close friend of Thomas Jefferson's, with whom he shared ideals of human rights, Kościuszko wrote a will in 1798 dedicating his U.S. assets to the education and freedom of U.S. slaves. He eventually returned to Europe and lived in Switzerland until his death in 1817.
Poland, a country like Germany with genetic predisposition for Antisemitism. No affection here for that country. They gave up their Jews willingly to the ovens and the death’s head. Now they are begging to have us defend them also. No thanks.
Remember the first Brexit referendum? The initial impulse for freedom? The behavior of European elites do not necessarily reflect the silent majority of population. Average Europeans, young ones especially, are more pro-Trump than we may realize...
Every Polish person I’ve met has been a good one. One I almost married
Hope you were able to find love again, McGruff. God bless your search if it hasn't happened yet.
Isn’t that the truth.
Yeah, I hear ya...
