Trump credits Polish President Nawrocki as Washington and Warsaw advance talks on a permanent US base, even as the Pentagon reviews its European troop posture.
What to know
- Trump says "major progress" has been made toward a permanent US Army base in Poland, crediting President Karol Nawrocki, with a site to be named "very soon."
- The announcement comes even as the Pentagon conducts a review of US troop levels in Europe that has raised allied fears of a drawdown.
- Poland already hosts almost 10,000 US troops, nearly all on a rotational basis, and spends about 5% of GDP on defense while seeking a permanent US presence.
- No base location, timeline, or troop numbers have been confirmed; Polish officials describe talks as having completed only an initial stage.
“This will be a historic step for our Great U.S./Polish Alliance.”

I'm not much for conspiracy theories but if you look at the history, Poland has been carved up as a sacrificial lamb by it's 'allies' before.

Our "patriotic" right would go deep on trump, balls deep. It's because they're always submissive to powerful children abusers. It's an core thing in their mindset and political culture.

There will be no fort. War is in less than a year, they know what they need is help right now. Every bit helps

EU far right has no one in the US other than Trump and still views him as a hero lol. If you ask far-right voters why they adore him so much, they will likely say that thanks to him, the Left has pain in their ass, that he is restoring normality, fighting left-wing fakes like global warming, destroy woke ideology and so on.

Same way how having US bases in Middle east increased security against Israel and Iran?

Brilliant. Let’s appease an Orange Spray-Painted Pedophile Man with a God-complex.
