Sorry Putin, your dreams of reanimating Commie USSR? Trump put a stop to that shit! Yes, to you morons who say Trump isn't doing anything, open your damned eyes!


WARSAW—The United States will establish a permanent military presence in Poland as it deploys around 1,000 additional U.S. troops there, Poland's Defense Ministry said on Friday.

Poland is setting growing store by its bilateral defense relationship with its NATO partner, fearful of an increasingly assertive posture from Russia to the east since Moscow annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.

On June 12 last year, U.S. President Donald Trump agreed, with Polish President Andrzej Duda beside him at the White House, to send 1,000 more troops to his NATO ally.

But negotiations on the details of where the troops would be stationed and how much Poland would pay dragged on for years.

"We did it. We have finished the negotiations on military cooperation," Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said in a statement.

Poland currently hosts a rotating contingent of over 4,000 U.S. troops. A permanent presence, which the statement says will now number at least 5,500 troops, is likely to cost Poland more.

The deal also involves the development of expertise for Polish forces in the areas of reconnaissance and command, with the possibility of more U.S. forces coming to Poland in case of an increased threat, the statement said.

Not only making a statement where Trump is putting the troops, he is making a statement where he is pulling them out from.

Poland is our best ally on the continent right now. They have not forgotten how bad soviet occupation was.

This is what happens when you have an actual man as President.   Trump leads by forging win-win alliances while offering his own brand of diplomacy that insists the world respect out nation by making it clear we will not bare a disproportionate cost of deterrent measures.

I can only hope we can get this man re-elected, so his solid work on putting America first can be built into a long line of successes that become his legacy.

Agree! I also think Trump is looking at the EU's extremely failed future, one where they have ceded power to a foreign theocracy.

The Poles are great people.  When I was in the Army I spent a month working alongside the Polish Army.  At the end of the exercise I had a long conversation with a Polish Captain (and a good amount of alcohol) about how he and I were actually planning and training to kill one another in the 1980's.  We were stationed on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain and came perilously close to fighting during the Cold War.

Things could have been much worse had Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul not worked their magic.

LOL, When I first saw that I thought it said 'US to Have Permanent Troop Presence in Portland'

And the Poles have been grateful ever since. Probably our strongest ally in the world when you think about it.
