NATO's Poland 'Open' to Hosting U.S. Nuclear Weapons

Poland's deputy prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said he is "open" to the idea of the U.S deploying tactical nuclear weapons in his country, and called for Washington to send tens of thousands more American troops to Europe to check the Russian threat.

Kaczynski, who leads the ruling national-conservative Law and Justice Party, also urged NATO to "do more" in Ukraine—in particular, a peacekeeping mission and delivering President Volodymyr Zelensky the weapons he asks for—and said he is "very dissatisfied" with Germany.

"The eastern flank must be much better protected in the future than before," Kaczynski told Germany's Welt Am Sonntag newspaper, asking America to station 50,000 more troops—a 50 percent increase—with most of the total in the Baltics and Poland, which are NATO allies.

You say that as though that’s supposed to be dispositive. There isn’t any major organization on the planet that isn’t corrupt right now, and our corruption is considerably less brutal than the Russian variety.

The U.S. had that capability 10 years ago. The ARRW is said to have a maximum speed of better than Mach 20 and a range of approximately 575 miles, ~15,000 mph.

You must have been reading the hype the stock price reports. It's a piece of junk.

“WWII.....Poland and Ukrainians were serious enemies”

Since the Soviets and the Germans divvied-up Poland, and Ukes were fighting on both sides (although mostly the Soviet side), yeah, there would be friction.

Yes, I agree with that also.

Just toss something in front of it, and that should cause
pretty massive damage.

He called for Washington to send ‘tens of thousands more American troops’ to Europe to check the Russian threat.

So what’s the problem with Europeans all sending their tens of thousands of troops - not ours. Let them fight in their wars.

Not to mention that China’s version dropped something so let’s say that you’re seeking heat and all the while it’s traveling it’s dropping nuclear bombs which don’t have heat…

As long as it doesn’t trigger a barrage of nuclear-tipped, hypersonic missiles from the Rooskies.

That’s the way it should be!

Probably a good point there.

Yeah, on March 9, 2022, Congress cut the funding in half after three failed tests under the Biden regime. I suspect sabotage because, politics. But there are other promising projects, see Pais Effect and Cormorant (Lockeed Martin).

Recent “UFO” disclosures by the U.S. Navy are most likely our own tech, Advanced Aerospace Vehicles (AAVs). Then there is sensor deception, phantom bogeys, FLIR ghosts. Do you wonder why Russia has not gained air superiority? We are light years ahead of them.
