As Europe drifts away from U.S., Poland and the Baltics are growing closer

Posted By: USA Features Media September 23, 2018


In May, reports that the Polish Defense Ministry had requested the United States place a full armored division inside the country and that the Polish government would pick up the entire cost — estimated to be about $2 billion — raised eyebrows.

The offer, first reported by Polish media, represented a long-standing desire in Warsaw to have U.S. troops stationed permanently in the country, dating back to Poland’s entry into NATO in 1999.

Initially, the Trump administration took the offer in stride, but when it was made again by Polish President Andrzej Duda 18 Sept., the administration began to take a more serious look at it.

“This proposal outlines the clear and present need for a permanent U.S. armored division deployed in Poland, Poland’s commitment to provide significant support that may reach $1.5-2 billion by establishing joint military installations and provide for more flexible movement of U.S. forces,” the defense ministry document stated in May.

I have no problems with this.

We should support those who embrace freedom and Christianity, and eschew those who no longer care about such things.
