US air base to be in Poland [193]
For 3rd world country like Poland, US military base in Poland is a blessing, a free manna from heaven. You should be eternally grateful and regularly pay tithe to the church from all the economic benefits you will receive, which will amounts to billion of dollars a year.
Benefits:
1. US Military base means your country is secure from invasion and preservation of territorial integrity, forever. No more Prussian/Russian/German/Austrian/Mongol/Turkish invasion.
2. US Military base means thousands of jobs for poor unemployed Polish people who would otherwise be forced to emigrate to UK, Italy, Germany and other EU countries where you will be scrubbing toilet and pick tomatoes for less than $5/hr, live with 10 other immigrants in a tiny 50 Sqm apartments.
3. Knock on effects of superior American standards in planning, design, construction of Military bases will set the bar high for Polish Military.
4. Easier co-ordination and co-operation between Polish Miltary and US Military, transfer of technology, military hardware and training.
5. Job security for tens of thousands of people, as long as US military base exist.
6. Many Polish kids will be able to get superior American Education, operated by department of defense.
7. Better roads and infrastructure for access to US military bases and the surrounding areas. Polish gov't will be shamed into providing better roads to save face, which will benefit locals.
Possible drawbacks:
1. It will anger Russia who still believe Poland is her backyard and her play ground, and will try to make problems for Poland particularly in trade.
2. Russian missiles will be pointed to Poland (even though it is doubtful that those rusty soviet missiles will reach their target)
3. Antagonism from locals, particularly racist Poles who will oppose to the presence of a large numbers of Black American soldiers, and will be angered by the fact that Black American GI will be dating Polish girls and boys, who undoubtedly will prefer well paid $ rich American GI's over poor polish blokes.
4. A flash point for protesters, especially those people who refuse to accept their country is just a dot on the face of the earth.
5. US Military base =magnet for prostitutes, drug dealers and potential increase in crime, especially rape, drugs and alcohol related crimes, which will ocasionally cause diplomatic incidents and nationalistic fervour and protest ( US criminals will be trialled under US Military law and not by Polish Law, so many Poles will consider this as an insult).
A single visit of US Aircraft Carrier to Sydney normally contributed $ 5-10 million to local economy, so Americans are very welcome here :D
