Poland has rejected a US request to transfer Patriot air defense systems to the Middle East, Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Tuesday, March 31.

According to Polish outlet Rzeczpospolita, Washington suggested that one of Poland’s Patriot batteries, as well as PAC-3 missiles, could be deployed to support operations linked to the war with Iran.

‘They protect Polish skies’

...are just freeloaders--when you are asking them to cough up weapons systems YOU sold them to protect themselves and the alliance.

But I think almost everyone on planet Earth not wearing a stupid red MAGA hat knows that everything he says is a hyperbolic lie.

When will those red-hat-dumbasses finally realize that?

The felon expects (hopes?) Putin will win his war on Ukraine any day now. And if the felon's withdrawal of support for Ukraine coupled with the aid and comfort he is giving Russia does ultimately lead to the fall of Ukraine, we know what Putin will set his sights on next.

I HATE that the United States is on the wrong side of EVERYTHING under this psychopath.
