Instead of returning home the American army from Germany can move deep into Poland. Such decision on Thursday, June 25 was expressed by the President of the United States Donald trump during a visit of the Polish leader Andrzej Duda in the White House. Earlier, the Polish authorities were asked to increase the American military presence in their country under the pretext of the need to combat “Russian aggression”.
We found that can stand for words, the North American leader.
on the one hand, the North American military contingent in Germany – the largest and technically equipped group USA in Europe. Speaking about manpower, it comes from 20 to 100 thousand soldiers. On German territory is a network of American air bases, military infrastructure, and site start-up of nuclear missiles.
According to the strategy of NATO, that Germany should become a springboard to transport American troops to Europe. And then we will deploy in Eastern Europe: the Baltic republics and Poland. All this served the Alliance as mutual aid, and revenue in case of aggression.
on the other hand, the Germans had long opposed the presence of American troops in the country. And even in such quantity. This position is often shared by many politicians in Berlin. They repeatedly demanded to reduce the military contingent from the United States. However, all this remained unanswered.
However, the position of the authorities of Germany was suddenly heard – Washington agreed to withdraw its troops from Germany. Tram said that in the near future it is planned to Commission 9500. Poland immediately expressed their willingness to accept these troops. After Warsaw long ago trying on the status of the main ally of the US in Europe. So, last year in Poland began the establishment of a military base to group that the media called “Fort trump.” After Warsaw categorically against the withdrawal of American troops from Europe – in their opinion, so bare flank of NATO against Russia.
That can be deployed on Polish soil? “First of all, mechanized and armored brigade, – says military expert Alexei Leonov. – It tanks, armored personnel carriers, armored vehicles support infantry. Smart and artillery: self-propelled, rocket. And the usual cannon. And, of course, will be American special forces, plus a favorite air unit attack helicopters. So the total number of our borders may grow at 20-28 thousand “bayonets”.
But the biggest blue dream Duda and a large part of the Polish establishment is missiles with nuclear warheads. At worst – missile complexes “patriot”. Their albeit under the banners of the United States would like to see the poles on military bases.
now, However, some experts note that Sach�� it already can be not a dream but a reality. Staff of the base “Fort trump” will complement the troops, transferred from Germany. However, the reasons for – not a doctrine about mutual aid in NATO, and the usual purely political motives.
– Meeting trump and Duda – nothing like their pre-election ploy – told “MK” the expert of the Russian Institute for strategic studies Oksana Petrovskaya. – All these statements of the presidents of the United States and Poland in Washington, we need, first of all, to themselves. Because at stake is their ratings that would do well before the elections to increase. The US is even ironic note: this was a single visit of the two presidents.
However, the expert is sure: the tune is not by chance hoped that this meeting with trump add to his score in the elections. Polish society has long been Pro-American configured, and all political forces and high-ranking generals, security forces in favor of Union with the United States. In addition, Peter draws attention to the fact that trump was invited to Washington it tune. Apparently confident that the current Polish President is very soon to extend its powers in the highest state position.
– let’s Not forget that the trump was preparing for its election in November – said the expert. – Because he needs to act – to campaign, to meet with international leaders of politics and business. In addition, Trump will not be superfluous voice large Polish Diaspora in 10 thousand people from Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
However, Oksana Petrovskaya said: breakthrough in the talks happened. Because not even signed the cooperation agreement. Was only expressed intent. But when they gain power – not known.
the expert also notes an important point: the transfer of us troops to Poland is a problematic point. Namely the legal status of military personnel. As the Polish President Duda wants military force came to Poland was subordinated to Warsaw. The trump wants in any jurisdiction except the us, its military did not fall. So, bear responsibility in Europe no they will not. And while the solution of the problems there.
whatever it was, but trump already announced the movement of their troops in Poland. North American leader said that some soldiers will go home, and the rest will go to other European countries, and Poland will become one of those countries.
In response, Duda messages: their content, the Polish authorities are ready to take on your account. He reminded that this is a small price to pay to keep “Imperial plans, which still builds the President of Russia Vladimir Putin”. However, Duda immediately said – speech on the transfer of American nuclear weapons in Poland so far.
