Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak and U.S. officials attended a ceremony Tuesday to formally upgrade the U.S. military presence in NATO member Poland amid the war in neighboring Ukraine.
There are more than 10,000 American troops stationed in the former communist bloc country. They belonged to Area Support Group Poland, which has now been upgraded to form the first U.S. Army garrison on NATO's eastern flank — a decision announced by President Joe Biden at the summit of NATO's 30 members last year.
The U.S. already has five army garrisons in Germany, one on Belgium and one in Italy.
“We appreciate it very much that U.S. troops are on a permanent basis in our country,” Blaszczak said. “It is very important that the Western world remains united.”

Russian’s war to get NATO off its border claims another victory.
Let’s put one on our border with Mexico.
and why would US troops be in Poland?
oh right, Russia is still a warmongering menace that can’t stop attacking its neighbors
Just call Globocop, and no matter how far distant from actual US borders, we’ll be there!!
“and why would US troops be in Poland?”
Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat-tat
The drumbeat for the war that is needed for Washington and the Uniparty. Needed in order provide jobs within the military-industrial complex and to whip the populace into a patriotic fervor.

I know someone who won’t be on the Polish border shaking his fist at Putin.
Hardly. The part about politically connected contractors getting money maybe, but even that has little to do with Ukraine, since they can just spend the money anyway.
Sickening waste of American resources for the benefit of globalist elites.
What a waste of money.
Objects in motion.
NATO countries must strengthen their military, each one of them, and the Americans come home. And through these various national military forces, protect the EU. Wars like this one in Ukraine should be fought by the Europeans, not by the US. We have no business playing any role there.
A prelude/pretext for widening the war, soon to be known as the greatest war/ww3
Where did you find this map of US military bases? And what year is it for? Thanks.
“Where did you find this map?”
Looks like mapchart.net in the lower right corner!😏
All many of US do anymore is point and laugh at the simple minded Canadian in our midst.
Trump was correct to move the V Corps European headquarters to Poland when he reactivated V Corps.
Previously V Corps was in Germany but moving it closer to the threat made sense.
When President Barack Obama deactivated V Corps in 2013 it was in Germany.
The US has no real dog in Europeans fighting each other. We were dragged into 2 world wars. We should station US troops throughout the former eastern bloc with nukes only. Make it a protectorate. Russia AND the EU pays for 100% of the costs. Russia could trust Trump. What do we get out of it? No war for starters. Neocons lose out.
The real benefit: An American-centric. Eastern Europe. Think immigration policy. As a protectorate they can immigrate to the US and we can be more selective than we are on our southern border.
Payment. Make it in ADVANCE. One year ahead so that when they default we’re outta there within 12 months. I’d love to se more Ivana Trumps’ here.
Unfortunately, when I went to mapchart.net, it gave me a page “create your own map.” Thus I’m still wondering where he got the information to create the map and what year is the info for.
