Ya know all these countries complain about the USin....until they feel vulnerable then they want cry in their own spilled milk for us to protect them after they've squandered their own funds OTHER THAN on their own Military capability as respossible nations.
I said before...Poland was going to milk this cow and they've wasted no time doing so.
Better to have troops in Poland than Germany.
Frankly the way we treated the Poles at Yalta was shameful. We had The Marshall Plan which propped up the nation that destroyed Poland, while the Poles got squat, after the war.
“Foreign Minister Sikorskiradek Calls for Major US Base in Poland.”
To be fair, the Poles have been trying to get us to move our German forces to Poland for 20 years. They offered us the Soviet’s largest former airbase in Eastern Europe, for free, with unlimited basing rights.
Clinton ignored it, but when Bush entertained the idea, along with the Missile Defense system, the Democrats and the U.S. Media went NUTZ on him. The German Left pretty much shut up about US Forces in Germany, because everybody realized just how many jobs go with it.
The Russians went ape when Bush and Poland came to an agreement in late 2008, of course, and one of Obama’s first actions was to kill it. Remember “Reset”?
“Ya know all these countries complain about the US”
