kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f56IfreZqd2WgYE.html Watch his famous UN speech. It was epic.

The Polish Foreign Minister is certainly brilliant and a welcome contributor to this critical discussion about supporting Ukraine and the advantages of a strong NATO alliance. Hence his comment about not sending an invoice to America for 2,500 Polish Soldiers going to Afghanistan while 10,000 American Soldiers are stationed in Poland was even more shockingly absurd. Like many Oxford educated, European politicians and American journalists, he calls on America to do more for Ukraine after 75 years of America always meeting her commitment to NATO spending 6% of GDP for defense, covering 70% of NATO's financial expenditures in 2022 and sending $70. He employs that Oxford education and journalist wife's knowledge demand more from America while ignoring those 20 NATO allies, like Germany & France and Poland until recently, failing to spend at least 2% of GDP after committing to do so in 2014. Like the American saying, "You only beat the hardest working horse to get more work done and never the rested, lazy horse." Brilliant! He's a natural for the next President of the EU Parliament.

@@506thparatrooper Poland has been spending 2% of its gdp on military for about 15 years!!! Today it is almost 4% so what is your point?

​@@Blanka1100Exactly. With incorrect data, this seems more of an emotional opinion rather than an argument based on facts. Sikorski is good at giving numbers to support his position, as this video shows.

@@Blanka1100 As an American Soldier, I am grateful for Poland's increasingly strong contributions to NATO and Ukraine. My point is while the Foreign Minister calls on America to do more for Ukraine touting Poland's efforts, he would do well with the American people comparing Poland's efforts with America instead of only mentioning invoices for Polish troops, Poland's most recent percentage of GDP for defense and recent Polish contracts for advanced American weapon systems. Percentage of GDP: America's 6% GDP for 75 years compared with Poland's 2% of GDP average beginning in 2015, invoice for 2,500 Polish troops annually to Afghanistan compared with an invoice for 10,000 American Soldiers in Poland, and Polish military contracts for Abrams tanks, Patriot air defense and F-35's fighters (All top military technology America spent trillions of dollars researching & developing) compared with America's millions of dollars pumped annually into Poland's economy also good for Polish business as those 10,000 American Soldiers spend on the local economy, local nationals on American bases pay, etc. According to Polish government information, Poland spent 2% annually for defense 5 times over 15 years 2009-2022, 2.1%, (2015), 2% (2018 & 2019), 2.2% (2020 & 2021) and 2.4% (2022). From 2000 to 2011, Poland spent 2% once in 2007. Poland is a great ally and strong force for NATO's collective defense. America demonstrates her commitment to Poland and NATO always meeting her NATO commitments and putting American lives on the lone stationing 10,000 American troops in Poland in addition to the 100,000's of American Soldiers in other NATO countries.

100% true

@@georgek1234 bkz of tanks in Berlin that's how it works

That is a very fair point. The Iraq war was the beginning of this mess and weakened NATO.

Well, Afghanistan, Egypt, ....

To be fair to Americans they have been carrying 80% of the costs of NATO and Europe defenses. Their current position is disapointing but it does not change the fact that much of western europe had a free ride on defence.

Are you being serious? The US is literally the only reason that Europe wasn’t folded into the Soviet Union. That’s Europe’s problem. You can’t accept the fact that you aren’t the center of the world anymore. Europe is now largely second rate powers that are more interested in turning their countries into vacation resorts for their citizens than actually sacrificing at all to defend themselves. I was in Afghanistan, the European contribution was minimal. The only country that truly made a difference was the UK.

@@Pawelec801 To be fair the EU is carrying all the refugees that come from those interventions.

must be sarcasm i hope

British level sarcasm detected. Well done 😉

The clowns were clearly sitting in this round, unmistakably.😊

Its not a great discussion when three people who already agree with each other get together and talk. Its just a hi profile chit chat.

Also, excellent business for Poland is the presence of over 10,000 American Soldiers stationed in Poland since the war began in Ukraine. This includes an American armored brigade & combat aviation brigade, America's Fifth Corp Forward Headquarters in Poznan, missile defense system in Redzikowo, equipment & ammo depots in Powidz.

All those benefits for "America" really go to 1% of wealthy people who benefit from military contracts, ammo purchases, etc. The general population in America is disillusioned and realizes they will never see any of those benefits, so this argument won't change their minds

@@506thparatrooper and Poland is paying for these 10,000 American Soldiers. God bless them...

​@@marcinpok4264 I would agree with you but then we would both be wrong. Having worked for two US Army Generals in Europe, 2013-2017, I understand the difference between host nation financial support and the much larger unreimbursed expenses to the American taxpayer. Poland will pay about $300 million for infrastructure like barracks, naval & aerial port improvements, etc. The largest initiative is $93 million for new Army barracks & dining facility in Powidz, a major aviation and logistical hub for the U.S. military. Other projects include a $35 million rotary wing apron in Powidz, fuel storage and rail improvements in Swietoszow, and aerial port and taxiway upgrades in Wroclaw and $16.2 million to establish a “company operations facility” for U.S. special operations troops doing missions in Lubliniec. Source - Stars and Stripes Poland will recover most if not all its expenditures through the millions of dollars injected into the local economies and Poland assuming control of these bases whenever the American forces withdraw.

Maybe so, but that's not the type of business we Americans want to be working on. We would be much happier building EV charging stations and working in our state-of-the-art factories making things in the world actually needs. I know Ukraine needs these weapons right now, but nobody feels good about making things that kill people.

I was thinking the same, and in a way, I'm biased, too... as I live in the UK but shop mainly in my local polish mini market. 😊 It can be a bit challenging to translate some products, but the quality vastly outweighs the language barrier.

As a Pole I would say that worst government in Poland was until 2008.

You're wrong. Beside Sikorski all new goverment is much worse.

Yes, we have the best government now. They're all incredibly competent, and having almost lost democracy in our country, they're very motivated. At the same time the internet in Poland (and on Poland) is heavily infested by Kremlin trolls. Not surprising at all.

Wrong. Actual government (with Donald Tusk as PM) has stopped all important infrastructural investments in Poland (Central Flight Port combined with fast railways infrastructure, Odra - river regulation for transport, Baltic Sea container port near Szczecin and more - all this moves are very welcome by Germany, by the way). Tusk`s government is also questioning military contracts signed both with South Korea and the USA industry - the future of polish armed forces is very uncertain now. Moreover, Tusk's government brutally violates the Polish constitution, undermines and ignores court decisions, takes state institutions (state television, the General Prosecutor's Office, etc.) beyond all legal regulations, places its people in state-owned companies etc. - all this is the so-called "restoring the rule of law". As to Radek Sikorski speach, I can not dissagree. Maybe He is the only one in this government whom we can trust, but it is really difficult to convince myself He is out of all described wickedness. So no. This is not "the best government in Europe", unfortunatelly.

Russia was always better to and for Europe!

That would mean Europe actually funded its own defense instead of cutting its defense spending from 3% to 1.3% at the end of the Cold War. That would also mean an end to the green agenda that foolishly shut down nuclear power plants forcing them to send billions of Euros in profits to Russia for oil/ LNG imports. That would mean a radical shift in immigration policy to rebuild plummeting populations for decades in every European country.

US aid to Ukraine is 76 (77) billion USD, the EU has paid, and has promised over 167 billion USD. Add to that the fact that the US GDP is 30% bigger than Europes, so if we pay "the same", the US should pay 30% more.

read my answer @@PjotrII

NATO is not some “kitty” where countries pay in to the US. It’s an alliance not a syndicate. There is a small fee that countries pay for administrative work to be upheld (i can’t remember exact percentage).

You should clarify your position to indicate whether you are premising the so-called payment of EU NATO members to the U.S on Trump's recent demands in which he stated that he would encourage the enemies of EU NATO members to attack if the members had not paid, or if you are premising the so-called payment of EU NATO members to the U.S on a different basis which I'm personally not aware of. Biden has not criticised the contributions of EU NATO members as far as I'm aware. Also, the U.S has already made significant contributions to Ukraine, which isn't a NATO member but is still critical to Europe. The U.S is obliged to continue this funding, and Trump is causing significant delays to this funding which is causing ensuing chaos.

Trump can fundamentally undermine NATO despite the law by just refusing to honor Article 5. Besides, it is his plan to purge the government with Project 2025 so that he may consolidate the power of law enforcement and the military to serve him instead of the Constitution. There is little doubt that his election to a second term will end democracy in the US, and plunge the country into chaos. I think the purpose of the law was to convey the importance of the alliance to voters, but we can see that the GOP no longer cares about such matters, preferring isolationism, lawlessness, and dictatorship. Perhaps GOP should now stand for Government of Putin instead of Grand Old Party as it seems to have more in common with Ukraine’s pro-Putin Party of Regions.

Hence NATO countries feel no real urgency to fund their own defenses instead of sticking the American taxpayer with much of their defense costs as well as providing Ukraine with critical military equipment Europe can no longer produce.

​@@506thparatrooperStop parroting this Trump nonsense. You don't seem to understand very much and instead fall for Trump's nonsense. The military industry is one of the most lucrative business sectors for the US, it provides thousands of jobs for US citizens!

@@506thparatrooper Europe's loss since all that money goes to US jobs in the US defense industrial base. NATO countries are increasing their defense spending, but some of them are still lagging (same with Canada).

@@Djamonja 20 of 31 NATO countries still do not spend the bare minimum of 2% of GDP as they unanimously committed to do 10 years ago at a NATO summit. Europe requires America to make up for their gutted defense manufacturing capabilities due to diverting the defense money to bloated government pensions and increased standards of livings. Many European countries benefited incredible increases to their economies like Germany home to most of the 300,000 American Soldiers and their families stationed there during the Cold War and the over 100,000 for the past 10 years. Poland enjoys all the benefits of 10,000 American Soldiers stationed there since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

Radek was also historically accurate that it was President Trump who sent lethal military equipment to Ukraine after Russia's two invasions and annexation in 2014. President Trump also provided military advisors to Ukraine. Biden withdrew these American Soldiers in 2022 before Russia's third invasion. This training is producing some of the best results on the battlefield in Ukraine. Additionally, President Trump pushed for critical military and civilian hierarchy changes from Soviet to Western leadership models and tactics. Biden's idea of supporting Ukraine was offering President Zelensky a ride out of Ukraine and delaying for months and years in some cases critical military equipment and ammo requested by Ukraine.
