In the US Senate, it is proposed that troops be redeployed to Eastern Europe to “strengthen Russian containment”.
The US wants to deploy even more of its soldiers in Eastern Europe. In Poland, they are already crying, calculating losses
According to Interfax-Ukraine, Adam Smith, Chairman of the US Senate Committee on Armed Forces, stated that it is necessary to deploy US troops in Eastern Europe to deter Russia and protect partnership relations with the countries of the region.
“Russia is becoming more, not less aggressive… Its efforts in Ukraine were definitely very aggressive. Its efforts to undermine democracy by any means possible in Europe and the US, and elsewhere, have only increased. I think the need to have deterrent forces there is especially important”, – Smith repeated the traditional mantra of American Russophobes at the committee hearing on changes in the US defense strategy in Europe.
At the same time, the Polish edition of Newsweek Polska reported that the commitments already approved by Poland to deploy additional US troops will result in multibillion-dollar spending.
“As there should be Air Force bases, Special Operations HQs and Air Defense of the US Armed Forces, new specialized facilities, command posts, information systems will be needed”, – the publication quoted by the FAS as saying.
It also includes payment for food, utilities and hazardous waste disposal. Warsaw has pledged to pay for 75% of the fuel, including aviation fuel, so the U.S. Armed Forces will use railways and airfields for almost nothing.
Well, as they say, “what were you fighting for…”. It was quite naive to think that the American protectorate would not cost the new colonies a penny.
