(19) Poland continues being a strong voice at NATO, urging Western Allies to make good on their commitments to bolster #ForwardDefense on NATO's #EastFlank.
(20) U.S. forces continue rotational deployments to Poland, while Poland makes significant base infrastructure upgrades to host/support 🇺🇸troops, per the U.S.-Poland #EnhancedDefenseCooperationAgreement #EDCA signed in 2020 by President Trump and President Duda. It's time btw, for permanent-basing of American forces in Poland, to which there is massive bipartisan support for, in Poland. Why? Because the right size and capabilities of 🇺🇸 forces assigned to Poland is both #AmericaFirst and #PolandFirst (America’s best Ally in Europe).
(21) Though a frontline Ally itself, with its own major security concerns, Poland steps-up responding to NATO's call to bolster ForwardDefense. In this regard Poland continuously rotates its own military forces to bolster deterrence and defense in Latvia and Romania.
(22) Warsaw shoulders a massive burden to defend the homeland, and NATO’s EastFlank. Poland leads all of NATO (including the U.S.) in per-GDP defense spending. Poland has done the hard work preparing for this moment calculating that If Ukraine falls, Poland is next. From 2017, Poland increases its financial potential, tackling VAT mafias and VAT loopholes while growing the economy. This sets the stage for Poland to be able to ramp up defense modernization with unprecedented defense expenditures.
(23) Poland reboots a Land Forces Corps capability and adds a maneuver division. Now with four total divisions, Poland has three more operational divisions than the UK (which 🇺🇸 considers for decades, as our most important Ally). Poland establishes a significant Territorial Defense Force #WOT, and is establishing two more reserve divisions. In total, Poland is increasing to a 300,000-500,000 member Army, eventually the largest, or second largest Allied-Army in Europe.
(24) Poland and Ukraine work closely together on #AirMissileDefense #AMD, defending their skies, and NATO air space.
(25) Poland hosts/organizes, and now leads NATO’s Center for Lessons Learned for Russia’s brutal war on Ukraine. This is a key training hub which will help 🇺🇸/NATO rapidly adapt to the modern battlefield. It will spur the doctrine and weapons innovations for future warfare. Being close to this hub, is another reason why American military presence in Poland is so important.
(26) President Duda/Poland convince the vital regional #ThreeSeasInitiative #3SI group to bring Ukraine aboard, and Ukraine is now a 3SI Associate member. This is important for several reasons chief of which is ensuring NATO has the right transport and energy infrastructure to support sustained military operations all along NATO’s EastFlank. The 3SI group should make Ukraine a full member as soon as possible.
(27) The above is only a short list. Poland has done much more. While peace negotiations continue, Poland continues to stand for a strong sovereign, independent and secure Ukraine. 🇵🇱🇺🇦
Poland’s centuries-old motto is indicative of its support to Ukraine, 🇺🇸/NATO and the West,
“We Fight #ForYourFreedomAndOurs"

This reminds of Poland/Baltic State Allies and other Central/Eastern Europe #CEE Allies urging Western NATO Allies to get serious about NATO’s “proclaimed”#ForwardDefense. The response has been underwhelming with platitudes like, “no worries, panicky CEE…Western reinforcement will save the day” (presumably after Russia invades a CEE Ally, digs in, and calls for a cease fire).
Allies not on NATO’s #EasternFront, should listen more to frontline allies, about how they see the threat - existential - and act and support in concert with them. We don’t have the luxury to act in accordance with some Pollyannic view of Russia, or humanitarian niceties regarding mine-warfare, while Russia butchers Ukrainians and seeks to extinguish Ukraine.
Well, Norway – you’re not the ones sharing a 1,340 km border with Mordor.
#ForwardDefense nonresident senior fellow T.X. Hammes: China's control of overseas ports could be leveraged to gather intelligence on the US and its allies and to disrupt global shipping in a conflict.
