There is no doubt the USA stands with Poland since Russia flexed it muscle too much.

President Trump didn't once say President Andrzej Sebastian Duda's name. Trump dominated the answers to the press. The most we heard from President Duda was that Poland is great. I am assuming that is without Vladimir Putin being involved. Once again, Trump was including Russia in statements about how he wants everyone to get along. Really?

I think the welcoming ceremony highlights the relationship that already exists between the people of the USA and Poland.

For more than a year, the United States and Poland have been in talks over such an agreement, which Polish officials have indicated could be finalized by as soon as Sept. 1.

However, such a fixed US presence near Russia will undoubtedly spur Moscow to ramp up its own military presence near Poland's borders — placing Warsaw squarely in the middle of Moscow and Washington's increasingly heated great power competition....

The drills will be “on an unprecedented scale both in terms of the area covered and in terms of the numbers,” Shoigu told Russian state media.

It will include all their military’s airborne units and both northern and Pacific naval fleets, he said.

“Imagine 36,000 pieces of military equipment moving together at the same time — tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles. And all of this, of course, in conditions as close to combat as possible,” he said, CBS News reported...
