US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, left, and Poland's Minister of Defence Mariusz Blaszczak greet each other after signing the US-Poland Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement in the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, Poland, Saturday Aug. 15, 2020. Pompeo is on a five day visit to central Europe.
“This is going to be an extended guarantee: a guarantee that in case of a threat our soldiers are going to stand arm-in-arm,” Poland’s President Andrzej Duda said during the signing ceremony. “It will also serve to increase the security of other countries in our part of Europe,” Duda said. “The agreement will enhance our military cooperation and increase the United States’ military presence in Poland to further strengthen NATO deterrence, bolster European security, and help ensure democracy, freedom, and sovereignty,” Trump’s statement said.
Trump has long and loudly complained that Germany does not spend enough on defense and has repeatedly accused Germany of failing to pay NATO bills, which is a misstatement of the issue. NATO nations have pledged to dedicate 2% of their gross domestic product.
German invades Poland again, using American mercenaries
Strategically it is meaningless. The pact will allow 1,000 troops to be sent to Poland. 4,500 have been there for a while. Putin giggles-
Polish is paying?
Even with this the media and Democrats will say Russia is backing Trump. Russia almost invaded Poland because we wanted to put Patriot missiles there.
I’m sure the army is going to be thrilled having to vacate the comforts of Stuttgart. No more Thursday night nakey swims at the community pool.
Anyone ever try kielbasa in the can?
Not good
Smart move.
This is a complete and utter waste of taxpayer dollars.
The U.S occupation of Europe is still in effect.
No surprises there, then.
Good
STABILITY PEACE & RECOVERY after DEFEAT the COVID19 International Public Health crisis, is exactly what🇪🇺European&all countries in a multipolar🌏🌎🌍expect& want. Instead of the old&obsolete unproductive🇺🇸US narrative of more military bases: in 🇵🇱Poland or elsewhere in the🌍
why?
Why?
good
Unless you grew up Polish, you will never understand.
It was never about bringing troops home. Trump got mad Merket embarrassingly turned down his G7 invitation due to covid.
I would bet the troops will like Poland better than Germany. No desrepect to Germany.
Guy with his nose sticking out has his mask upside down.
Waste of precious resources. While the people are dying of curable diseases, Trump administration is splurging dwindling funds on war making
Let me guess. These troops will be staying in the brand new trump barracks.
So moving closer to the Russian border. But which way are they facing?
Unfkn real 😡 Cult45
The US plan all along was to move US global imperial storm troopers closer to Russia's border in Poland.
I doubt it is bad for Germany & good for Poland. Pompeo's musical chairs! In my opinion it is bad for any country to have U.S troops. U.S never behind peace. Always for war. U.S will be staging war from Poland instead from Germany. Good for Germany. Bad for Poland! Satanic USA!
And in doing so bringing them within easy range of Iskander missile batteries. Genius.
I thought the brave troops were coming home
the american empire is going the hitler route with poland and germany? how fun
Putin will be pissed.
YAAASSSSSSS.....😎 Kielbasa Time!😃 🇵🇱🇺🇸💪🏼🛡📿
God.. why is his WIFE always there ? Why are taxpayers footing the bill for her .. she’s a First Lady wannabe
Assuming realDonaldTrump looses in November, this deal will never happen.
Wow
America is actively fascist and it’s not clear Americans understand - even the likes of MaddowBlog benjaminwittes PreetBharara - talk to ordinary, average people in Europe about this for a clearer mirror of where the US is.
The end of post war stability in Europe isn’t a great idea for the US. Wtf is this. JoeNBC morningmika KamalaHarris JoeBiden
German car makers should close their American factories.
And they will be removed and redeployed to Germany once we end this Putin love afair
A small part of it.
