    ITT: People who don’t realize this has been a gift to the US: They can wage war against Russia, the largest nuclear US adversary, on the cheap, without risk to American lives or running afoul of the UN or NATO.

    I’m just sayin… maybe Poland’s rhetoric about Ukraine lately has more to do with distracting the electorate from the Law and Justice party Cash for Visas scandal. It doesn’t seem in Poland’s interest to let a neighbor like Ukraine be compromised by the greatest strategic threat to Poland, and they and the Baltic states have the most to lose if Russia gets a further foothold in Eastern Europe. Domestic politics needs to stop at the border.

          As an LGBT+ person, the fact that Poland has “LGBT-free” zones is appalling, so I’m a little sus about it. But hey, military industrial complex go brr, right?

      It’s a loan, that means Poland will pay back all of that plus interest, and will spend it purchasing our equipment, giving jobs Americans.
