This Is How Slavishly Devoted Marco Rubio Is to Trump

Poland’s increased military spending has produced a situation in which the country now has more than 210,000 military personnel (behind the United States and Turkey in NATO); a significant territorial defense force; and $50 billion in U.S.-made weapons, including Abrams tanks and a Polish version of the U.S. High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS. Poland is also armed with several South Korean rocket launchers and has had its soldiers participate in months-long war exercises to test the new equipment.

“In the event of war, Poland will be a very busy country because the army will mobilize, the economy will mobilize, but we will also have to prepare for the arrival of NATO in and through Poland,” said the operational commander of the armed forces, Lieutenant General Maciej Klisz. Newspaper.
