Poland??? You're seriously stoked about a military base named for Trump.......IN POLAND!!!???
Are you kidding?
A US controlled base in Poland would be YUGE for the US Military's efforts in Europe. It would have been the holy grail of strategic locations during the Cold War.
“Poland is an attractive country, and first and foremost it's got a very important strategic location in Europe,”
Poland wants us there... Germany, not so much.
You are so easily impressed and persuaded it is a shame you claim to be a Paul supporter. Do you think Paul or anyone that was really in the movement is impressed or likes this deal? You are the only Paul supporter that I know of { maybe in the whole world} that is giving this idea a thumbs up and clapping like a baby seal.
One of Paul"s main tenets was the extreme amount of military bases and personal stretched out all over the world. You might remember the message of "these countries should man their own bases and take the means necessary to defend their own countries and not be so reliant on the U S".
So does building a base and manning it sound like something that Paul would support? No, because he would n't because unlike you he and his followers do not want to feed the MIC. You are impressed that Poland offered 2 billion$ that is peanuts of what the cost of this will be in future years.
A U S base in Poland will contain nukes, missiles, anti nukes and all the toys of the MIC. And who is going to pay for all that? You can bet it won't be Poland. You know how it works, the {R}s will trot out a big military budget bill get it passed and signed by the POTUS and the money for Fort Trump that you are so proud of will be in the bill and getting funded.
So you are a different breed on one hand you are a Paul supporter and on the other a huge supporter of the MIC, yep you are one of kind.

Having an American military base in Poland is the last thing Vladimir Putin would want. Yet some on here manage to use this to insinuate that Trump is in Putin's back pocket. Sad.
Are you kidding? They won't be putting nukes in Poland. And there's no such thing as an anti-Nuke.
Will see, I say the relations between U S and Russia not getting any better. Just last week a Russian official was kicking the idea of Syria having nukes. So it is not such a crazy theory that the new Fort Trump will one day have nukes. Also meant to say anti ballistic missiles but anyways my point still stands that Trump is being lead around by the MIC and this is another country where the U S will be paying more to defend.
