I am not reversing anything.

I stand by that first post. I can see the bigger picture and admit that this country has some problems. But I will still call out uninformed buffoons on here who exaggerate everything tenfold.

Not just on Muslims but other things like Alfie Evans.

I thought other countries wouldn’t pay us for protection?

Are you saying that CNN and NYT lied to me?

Poland is so MAGA for Trump.

Poland is maybe the only country in Europe that has closed its borders and hasn't gone full cuck to Middle Eastern immigrants.

America is the fattest but I’m sure the population is healthier overall than any third world.

I'm just guessing - maybe missiles from Russia that can reach us?


So let’s pretend we base missile interceptors in Poland, how will the Russians respond?

Will they accept it? Develop their own forward basing solution? Or create technologies to thwart our interceptors?

Is probably going to be a mix of the latter.

Defensive technologies are inherently destabilizing, which makes forward basing our forces, and even just missile interceptors, in Russia’s near orbit a pretty terrible idea.

This is how you end up in an escalation crisis that blows up be world.

The Russians learned that lesson from us, in Cuba.

No it isn't. It puts US troops/air power up against Kaliningrad Oblast, and Belarus with direct lines of attack to targets within interior Russia.

The Russians cant stand the fact that the Navy and Air Force forward deploy to Poland and the Baltic States for extended periods. This would make it permanent.


I know this, hence the eye roll emoji to show sarcasm.

Poland wants a permanent U.S. military presence — and is willing to pony up as much as $2 billion to get it, according to a defense ministry proposal obtained by Polish news portal Onet.

The Polish offer reflects a long-standing desire in Warsaw to build closer security relations with the U.S. and put American boots on the ground.

This is why.


So we create an inherently unstable situation that threatens the integrity of Russia?

Can you understand why that’s a bad idea?

The EU has a population of 508 million people. There should be a European army with their own bases. The U.S. Shouldn't be the World Police.

An EU army is an excellent idea.

You don’t mind being the world police when bribing countries to support you bombing the Middle East.
Remember you renamed French fries to freedom fries because France did not support you bombing Iraq? How petty and pathetic.

your condemnation of Tommy Robinson is very confusing based on your 1st post

Alfie Evans? had to google; I remember that - looks like another case of totalitarian fascism from the UK. You see, although I am "pro-life" when it comes to the abortion issue; I am far more "pro-choice" than anyone I have ever met in person or online. If that kids parents had the means; there is zero reason for any government to prohibit them from trying an experimental treatment in another country.

Here in the states, our President just won a big fight to get this concept passed into law

the Tommy Robinson case is exceptionally alarming to me, as I see signs that the USA may be heading down the rabbit hole of suppressing free speech

I hope things get better in the UK; and I hope that your country backs off from what sure looks like oppressive restrictions on thought and speech (it is deeper than Tommy getting railroaded and unjustly imprisoned, we are seeing many reports of people being arrested for things they post on social media and for stating unflattering opinions about Islamists)

Off to build a Trump golf course and say Trump is the greatest human being alive. That'll get it done in the next week.

Trump should do it but not say a fricking word about it.

Putin's burning desire has been to get back together as much of the old USSR as he possibly could. If the US puts a base in Poland that would annoy the bleeding frick out of him.

Is that really Putin’s desire? I’ve always half suspected Russia was happy to shed some of those Muslim countries.
