    I hope we do- Poland has become a powerful, anti- communist ally in Eastern Europe.

    I thought a base in Poland (or network of bases, including Air Force and comms stations) was the apparent choice for at least 20 years as Ze Germans are less and less supportive of US presence post-Cold War. Never mind that the Russians are just as mobile and dangerous in their post-Soviet phase. As I understand it, the Poles are pro-US, anti-Euro zone bank control and most definitely anti-Russian. An ex-pat living in Poland told me US military and economic support are welcome with open arms, and I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of his personal experiences there.

    I have a buddy that hates the idea of the US east of Germany. Poland and the Baltic states are just not worth the squeeze and really Russia's area and an antagonism to them. I disagree.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    I'm am well out of the loop of diplomacy, foreign policy and military involvement in any part of the world, so my post is likely dated. Although, given what you said, antogonizing Russia might be the exact reason why some people want US involvement in Poland.

    I think Poland and Hungary both deserve US bases, both would be willing to fight, not so sure about Germany.

    With the EU's attitude towards them I'm sure Poland and Hungary would welcome it.

    I love Poland. Great place to be. At least in the summer...

    If I was still in, I would be the first to volunteer to go. Hell, I might even stay there.

    Germany can pound sand. These are the friends we need.
