News / US air base to be in Poland [193]

Sure thats a good point. But the international standing that Poland will be left in after this close relationship will not be good. On the whole its probably not the best idea, or the best way to go about it.

"they're unarmed right now they'll be armed again in a year or so once rotation is over and they are permanently placed there. But those will be the PAC-3 Patriots much much modern and effective"

How is that good? Insignificant.

I am waiting for them to tell me why the air base in Poland is a good idea, let alone the whole partnership.

So Sky and Guesswho, how would this base be positive for Poland at all?

Poland's own generals said it's military is capable right now to protect itself

Thats why it needs to be built up!

Not just ties with Germany but whole of Europe.

Lithuania

Is this a joke?

Anyhow what exactly did Germany and South Korea get out of it?

Why suck up to anyone at all, especially the US. You cannot say Poland will get anything out of it. Maybe eventually in the distant future. You are saying that the alternative is to suck up to Russia? why? Closer ties with the rest of Europe and building up Polands own military will suffice.

More or less. But it would be preferable to keep it at a distance, ie short of actually hosting bases. Build European bases where European armies are hosted.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, empty talk

Thats most probably correct.

The only reason why U.S. is promising air base in Poland is to preposition their army and obligate other nation to fight the upcoming war.

This is a big part of why the US base is not a good idea

And I thought we agreed on thightening bonds within Europe but that too means a strong atlantic alliance...

Without sucking up to the US on every chance.

China is moving away from that style of government. Slowly but surely. What makes you think that they would build an empire here and impose that rule over the world? A little far fetched. And I thought we agreed that the move with the US is not a good idea.

That does not explain why china is a problem, and Poland should come closer with the US.

Well, start learning mandarin then...

Since you know Mandarin would you like to explain.

But why would China be a threat at all, especially to Poland. China as a power is more favorable to the world then the US. China even when strong has never involved itself in the type of physical and political empire building in all its history. I dont see how this country could be a threat. Tiny US bases in Poland would not help even if there was a threat. Maybe Germany has to worry, but about what? Economic competition? The US yes, a threat to its empire.

tell me, how?

It took them long enough to even do this small thing which according to your article is going to be in 2018. Who know what other "problems" they will run into before then. Even that is besides the point. Poland does not need this. Missile defense from what? Who is going to bomb Poland? Im sure US has these systems to protect itself, as well as other European countries.

We have not had a single attack or even threat. I see your point though, and I said before we should be concentrating on ties, but with those closer to us. Poland does not need this base, and we have seen how the US treats our agreements. Even closer ties with Germany would be preferable.

Tell me how they care. When they shamefully backed out of their missile defense agreement. Gave us FAKE equipment? A lot of care.

Yeah...and these are of course not Polands enemies but chums, right?

We should be pursuing closer ties with the rest of Europe, not the US which is so far away and does not care.

That is called appeasement, and never worked. They will come for you only a bit later...

It is not appeasement if one does not want to even go down that path.

Delph has a good point, when it gets right down to it, the US just doesnt care when it is even in the slightest inconvenience for them, what a healthy relationship. Poland may be on some black list as you say, but much less so than almost any other NATO country. This can only make it much worse.

Who has said anything about worrying about the Russians!? What about terrorists/islamists/jihadists or whatever you want to call them. The US has many enemies, is on the decline, far away from Poland psychically, culturally and in just about every other way. Why make such a close relationship with them, not others? Interesting to see Americans supporting this, but as I said, what about the people. Sikorski is not the people. You ought to know that politicians never wholly represent the people, do not be naive.

Skysoulmate: what are you accusing me of? Nice of you to reconfirm that you fight wars and kill people for the oil corporations though. If you think that I only say this on the internet you are wrong. Truth is truth.

As I said think of the bigger picture. International relations and foreign policy. Some jobs being created is not all important. Interesting story :

Why is Poland getting a US air base where permanent troops and equipment will be stationed. Does this reflect the wishes of the people as Sikorski says? What will the consequences of this be? Do we really need such a target placed on us, or could it have some benefits? Where will this relationship go? I personally dont think the people want it and that the consequences would be negative. We do not need to host a base for the most hated and war mongering military/country world. Look what happened in Germany recently.

After Thursday's meeting in Washington with Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has confirmed that the Americans are planning to place in Poland, a small branch of American troops .

At a meeting with Polish journalists after a conversation with Clinton , Minister Sikorski said that it is a " fixed unit of the Air Force ." During the December visit of President Bronislaw Komorowski in Washington announced that the United States is planning to place in Poland Rotary military aircraft F -16.

Life / 2 months to go - I will be a Polish citizen and try to find a better place to raise my kid. [67]

This parasite claims we are a waste of time, yet keeps on replying. He is the real loser here. He does not deserve citizenship or his Polish wife. Hope he goes to a better place via suicide. Sounds depressed and resentful enough. I say stop feeding the suicide case so he can stop wallowing in self pity and either leave Poland or kill himself already.

USA, Canada / Expat Poles swearing allegiance to the US - how did you feel? [157]

people like havok and trewer are stupid. It is so obvious that they are blind to what America really stands for today. If not then in in that case too, they deserve zero respect for being slaves and even eager servants to the corporate and corrupt government of america. This kind of attitude and behaviour demonstrates this. Are they at all Polish, as I know no Pole thinks this way.
