Dear Poland,
Do you see what is happening to U.S. bases in the Middle East?
U.S. bases make your country a target.
And you're allowing foreign troops on your land.
Think.
Think back to the previous World War, and who you (regretfully) put your trust in.
Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:
We are discussing a second U.S. base in Poland. This would be a brigade-size base.
You cannot invade Russia with one brigade. The Wehrmacht tried with 200 divisions, and they failed.
We want the kind of U.S. presence that would reassure us but not be threatening to Russia.
