#1 I doubt 'anywhere' includes some man made islands in the South China Sea.

#2 Back in the day, we used to joke that the Poles went on alert every time the Germans or Soviets cranked their tracks to take engine oil samples. (Anyone remember the AOAP?)

Given their history, this is understandable.

Sure hope President Trump will have enough of a clue to do the right thing by the poles. Besides, I understand that Poland is a pretty nice duty location- standard of living almost as good as Germany was circa 1985, and a lot more grateful for our presence.

Tremendous MilPol or Geopol opportunities for China + PLA + China's "2nd Island Chain" strategy in CENTPAC iff the FSM succeeds in voiding the Compact of Free Asociation wid the US???
