Poland's new tactic for getting a US military base? Pitch it as Fort Trump

45 comments · 384 votes

Clever boy (not Trump - the other guy).

Why does America feel obliged to station troops everywhere? So somebody else can pay for them of course!

Ha ha ha ha ha. Made my day. The Polish right is doing a lot of licking. Trump will lap this up.

When America was great it could rip off the world at will. Now it is being ripped off by everybody? Funny that?

again Trump proving if the price is right anything can happen

And here was me thinking that greasy poles were something you only found in less salubrious establishments?

Fort Trump... I dont know if the Polish President is clever but he certainly knows what makes Donny tick.

Ah well, these two lunatics are best buddies so why not aye?

Because the two Koreas have sorted this out for themselves. Bolton is annoyed. Trump is, well, err, um, ah, trumped.

How about Mario Kart mushroom head...... with a yeti type hairdo

Fair enough. Im surprised that there isnt a permanent one there already considering its close proximity to Russia, and the fact that the US already has 800 military bases in more than 70 countries. Win win.

How about Fort Stormy?

Yeah the Polish Prez looks like he ready to kiss Trumps feet

Sucking up to Poland, give me a break.Never mind this nonsense, when is Donald Trump going to pay a visit to the U.S. Military Troops in the battle zones overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, every President since FDR visited troops in the war zone; NOT DONALD TRUMP! Bush, Obama, Biden, made multiple visits to the troops in the front lines, Trump has not even come close to going...â¦..whats wrong with this coward.

The Poles werent keen on German bases and the Russians were almost as bad. They should realise that the USA will be no better.

Ever wondered why the Trumpeteers get way more down [than up] votes? Because they are in the minority. So you should ask yourself... âAre the majority simpletons or am I?â

Artww,Interestingly, the U.S. will be sending 1,500 to Germany between now and 2020. There are already 33,000 there, and therere plans for the U.S. to begin military exercises and presence in Greece soon (likely due to the weakening U.S.-Turkey relationship).Then theres the U.S. troops sent to Norway (not an EU member, but a European Economic Area member) for a joint NATO exercise, with the likelihood that theyll remain stationed in the Scandinavian nation.

You know, the only one pedalling that tripe about NATO chewing up American dollars, is Trump. I wouldve thought people would see through these charades, but obviously some are just swallowing it whole.Funny that people dont question someone who always calls bad news about them, fake, then over-embellishes everything else that doesnt quite live up to his scale.Its time you started questioning his statements, because obviously, even his own country is starting to wake up to this idiocy.

DaveMurphy,Maybe its high time the ten military bases in the United States named after Confederate soldiers change their names? Or would that be seen as totally unacceptable by right-wing bigots and white supremacists?
