Ambassador Rose isn’t backing down— he’s been fiercely arguing on social media not only with Prime Minister Donald Tusk , but also with a random user on the X website who commented on one of his posts. “Should we take all our soldiers and equipment with us?” Rose asked, responding to a critical post in which a Polish user wrote, among other things, “The Polish nation respects its sovereignty. Go home.” Approximately 10,000 American troops are currently stationed in Poland.
When have we ever taken our equipment with us? Seriously. We basically armed the Taliban for a few months when we left Afghanistan. Then they ran out of spare parts and people that knew how to maintain the shit. IIRC, they mostly just scrapped our trash at that point.
Poland at least has the people and experience to keep our shit working.
Ha, good point.
