Based on the successful Election of the now President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, who I was proud to Endorse, and our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 Troops to Poland. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Nice how the lifes of 5000 people are just bargaining chips.
They elected the guy I support, here are 5000 men… US soldiers, how do you feel as a bribe?
It’s actually a nice move of him. USA had built military infrastructure in Germany for billions and then he left, leaving behind said infrastructure. Now he wants to do the same thing in Poland. It’s like an economic guerilla tactic where you make small investment skirmishes while simultaneously destabilising the relations to the countries you just pulled out of. It’s an obscure tactic without a foreseeable benefit. It’s good for Poland so I’m a fan I guess.
I am very much not a fan of US troops in EU.
With one puppet state sabotaging the EU from within now gone, guess we can now see the next candidate to get propped up…
And they’re ripe for the plucking, Poland is like the Arkansas of Europe, they’re not exactly our best and brightest. They could easily see a MAGA like movement, and it’d be over. They’re very susceptible to populist propaganda and right wing grifts.
Considering his character, I wonder if he asked for Poland’s consent?
Given that Russia is the biggest potential threat to the EU, moving soldiers from Germany to Poland is actually a good idea. That is if you trust the US, which Poland certainly does.
Except if those troops end up teaming up with Russia.
Everyone in EU can trust the US. Just don’t trust Trump… Who unfortunately is in control of most of the US.
Everyone can trust the US… just don’t trust its leader, government and everyone who follow their orders… such as their vast and powerful armies.
Poland has still a Fascist as President but he suffers because he isn’t in a presidential democracy and the government doesn’t share his hate for rule of law. Still he has enough power to keep Poland a bit in a bind and prevent undoing the anti-rule of law “reforms” of his party.
