I know that Poland is free now because the U.S. stood up to the Soviet Union all through the Cold War.

Yeah, and Poland was a part of communist empire because the U.S. betrayed us in Jalta.

Now the U.S. wants to defend Poland against nuclear missile attack, and they kindly agree to let us do it, provided we give them $10 billion a year. Screw that. They can provide their own defense if they want one.

Defend US? The shield is to defend YOU! We are going to do you a favour risking conflicts with Russia, but apparently no one in USA cares about that.

There were Russian troops in Poland. There were no American troops there. In any case, what happened 60 years ago is no basis for an alliance today.

Iran does not have missiles that can strike the U.S. Russian missiles that can hit America fly over the North Pole, not over Europe. The interceptors in Poland are there to defend Europe, not the U.S.

The U.S. is not a European country. The defense of Europe is not our problem. Alliances are about mutual advantage, not feelings, and Europe offers the U.S. nothing, no advantages. Poland is included in that.

And if you don't want any conflict with Russia, don't resist. Surrender to the Russians, and there will be no conflict.
