| NATO Confirms Plans For $260 Million U.S. Storage Site In Poland |
| 2019-03-25 |
| [Radio Free Europe] NATO has confirmed that it plans to establish a storage facility in Poland for U.S. military equipment, including armored vehicles, ammunition, and weapons to arm a full brigade. A NATO official on March 23 told AFP that a report earlier by The Wall Street Journal that said the $260 million facility would be located in Powidz, some 200 kilometers west of Warsaw, was accurate. The WSJ quoted NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg as saying work on the site will begin this summer and take two years to complete. Since Russia’s annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014, Poland, the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia as well as other Eastern European states have expressed concerns about their security. The United States has deployed and rotated troops in the region since the Ukraine crisis began in an effort to deter Russia. NATO has also increased its presence near Russia’s borders. |

| #1 Why? Still haven't absorbed Washington's warning about entangling foreign alliances after how much wasted lives and gold. Trying to be the world's policeman has been the root destruction of the old Constitution having to commit so much authority and power to the Executive branch over so many generations. Don't tell me its about Western Civ when you allow it to be demeaned and attacked daily in your public institutions of indoctrination. Given that Brussels now is just Moscow with better suits, we haven't stopped the authoritarians or tyrants from subjugating the continent. |
