Dodgefan,

I think you are correct. Having a US base in Poland is an economic gain for Poland. Additionally, it gives them greater security over Russia.

All,

I would not say that Russia isn’t a threat to its neighbors. Just ask some Ukrainians and Georgians about their feelings.

Though, Russia will have to act in some way to counter a base in Poland. What that exactly is will determine if it’s worth the squeeze.

I like Poland. Safest place to visit in the neighborhood IMO. Great food and drinks. Affordable. Clean beautiful cities like Gdańsk and Krakow. I just don’t want to go war with Russia over it.
