Poland want US military base says it could be called Fort Trump. Trump must be very popular with foreign leaders.

What a great idea. Finally countries are getting the idea they need to pay for protection.

Poland wants a permanent US military base, and is willing to pay $2 billion for it

“Establishing such a force is necessary to present an unequivocal challenge and deterrence to Russia’s increasingly emboldened and dangerous posture that threatens Europe,”

The Latest: Polish leader proposes US base called Fort Trump

We need to be closing bases, not opening new ones. Poland can put its own people in harms way

He is, but not with the ones that have been eating cheap at the US feed trough since WWII.

If Poland has $2 billion to spend on a military base why don't they build their own?
From the article :

"“Establishing such a force is necessary to present an unequivocal challenge and deterrence to Russia’s increasingly emboldened and dangerous posture that threatens Europe,” the proposal reads."

Oh I see now....so why doesn't Trump call up his BFF Puttie and tell not to try to grope Poland?

Poland? Funny the subject of Poland should come up.

Just read a big article warning Americans about what is happening in Poland, and how dangerous authoritarianism is.

"...A Warning From Europe: The Worst Is Yet to Come..

....Polarization. Conspiracy theories. Attacks on the free press. An obsession with loyalty. Recent events in the United States follow a pattern Europeans know all too well...."

"...Americans are of course familiar with the ways a lie can increase polarization and inflame xenophobia: Donald Trump entered American politics on the back of birtherism, the false premise that President Barack Obama was not born in America—a conspiracy theory whose power was seriously underestimated at the time, and that paved the way for other lies, from “Mexican rapists” to “Pizzagate.”

...But in Poland, and in Hungary too, we now have examples of what happens when a Medium-Size Lie—a conspiracy theory—is propagated first by a political party as the central plank of its election campaign, and then by a ruling party, with the full force of a modern, centralized state apparatus behind it..."

...Much as Trump used birtherism and the fabricated threat of immigrant crime to motivate his core supporters, Kaczyński has used the Smolensk tragedy to galvanize his followers, and convince them not to trust the government or the media..."

Poland knows how to get what they want. Appeal to Trumps vanity like he is some 6 year old.
