President Trump should move Ramstein Air Base from Germany to Poland. That would poke Merkel in the eye pretty good!!

Poland's government would like visiting President Donald Trump to make assurances this week that the presence of U.S. and NATO troops in Poland will continue as long as the region's security is threatened by Russia, the foreign minister said Monday.

Keep that defense spending above 2% of GDP and you don't have to worry.

“Poland wants Trump’s vow of protection from Russian activity”

Are you not a sovereign nation, Poland?

Start acting like one, or did 1939 not teach you to stop outsourcing your national security to other people?

Trump is to deliver a speech in Warsaw during a brief visit Thursday.

Cool. Now that’s one European country we should stand with.

” ‘I am more interested in the 5,000 U.S. troops than in the monthly confirmation, by the means of rhetoric, of Article 5,’ Waszczykowski said,”

Poland is on the firing line when it comes to Russia. They are the canary in the coal mine. They know continental Western Europe is useless when it comes to military defense and NATO without the US is utterly useless when it comes to their defense. So I can’t say as I blame Poland for asking. But the only troops in Poland should be EU troops.We will serve a support function behind lines and the EU can be the front line fodder.After all, it is their yard not ours.
