Putting Poland in Danger
By Tommy Leung on August 15th, 2008 in News
The United States and Poland have signed an agreement to put a missile interceptor base in Poland. Russia is not at all pleased with this and has said that Poland has put itself in danger of an attack–possibly by nuclear weapons. That is not good.
Poland really shouldn’t be signing agreements to allow us to use their country has a base for anything. The Russians might not be the friendliest government in the world–neither are we–but, to antagonize a them is asking for trouble. I am not dying to start war with any country let alone one with nukes.
We have a bad habit of setting up military bases in as many countries as we can–we are in over 130 countries already. No where in the Constitution does it allow us to set up military bases in foreign nations. Our military is to protect the United States so they should be at home in case of an attack.
If we recall the Cuban Missile Crisis, Russia had missiles in Cuba and we didn’t like it very much. Are we going to learn nothing from history? Do not put a military base in Poland and while we are at it, dismantle all our foreign military bases and bring our troops home. American taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for politicians’ dreams of imperialism.
