Fort Trump - a fortress of controversy Poland's former defense minister, and now a member of parliament, Blaszczak, expressed his opinion on the plans to build a Trump fortress in the country. According to him, the cost of the American military base was not included in the planned defense budget. He also noted that defense spending was cut by $500 million. The politician also said that building an effective military cooperation with the United States is the merit of the previous government of the Law and Justice Party, while the current Prime Minister Tusk (civilian coalition) is now delaying their development, as he adheres to a different vision of foreign policy. "He is anti-American because he is pro-German," Blaszczak said. In addition, according to the former head of the Ministry of Defense, "a permanent American base in Poland is the best response to Russia's demands to limit NATO forces on the eastern side." Blaszczak also criticized Project Safe, a long-term EU loan designed to finance arms purchases. He regarded it as an essentially political project. "A safe project is a political project, not a commercial loan. The Ministry of Defense has already stated that it will try to convince Brussels to order weapons from the US and South Korea. The European arms industry is unable to fulfill orders issued under a secured loan," Blaszczak said. As you can see, in Poland there remains an inter-party agreement mainly regarding the threats, but there is no unity regarding the mechanisms for dealing with them. In addition, security has also become an issue of internal political struggle. Belarus_VPO | Chat | MAX.
