While fossilized critics apparently stuck in the 1980s bash Trump for withdrawing troops from Germany, the president has shaken up the moribund NATO Alliance, forcing it to increase defense spending and realign forces to better face the Russia threat.

As part of his strategic relocation of U.S. forces throughout Europe earlier this year, President Trump withdrew nearly 10,000 U.S. personnel from ‘delinquent’ Germany (no longer on the front lines with Russia) and redeployed several thousand troops to NATO ally – Poland on the Russian border.

This has included increased rotations of U.S. forces to Poland, but now that U.S. presence will become permanent. As Defense News notes, Poland’s conservative president, Andrzej Duda, has now signed the deal that enhances U.S. military presence in the central European country. Duda has had close ties with the Trump administration, signing defense and energy deals.

In this instance, Defense News reports:

The Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement that he ratified raises the number of U.S. troops in Poland to some 5,500 and moves from Germany the U.S. Army V Corps overseas headquarters. It strengthens the U.S. defense presence in central and Eastern Europe at a time of increased Russian military activity.

Duda added that the new agreement should be a symbol of a partnership that continues regardless of political developments, implying possible political changes in the U.S. due to the elections. “I believe that our partnership is above political divisions,” Duda said during the signing ceremony.

“We are waiting for the new U.S. president to take office,” Duda concluded, according to Defense News.

Regardless of who is finally certified as the winner in the U.S. presidential race, Trump must be credited with enhancing European security by forcing NATO to increase its collective defense spending by $50 billion annually since 2016, and placing U.S. forces where they are most needed – on the front lines with Russia.

Whoever the next U.S. president is should continue President Trump’s solid approach to enhancing the Alliance and deterring Russia.

  1. Our President never gets credit for anything in this country. Even for his stellar foreign policy of which Americans have been told virtually nothing. Of course, the rest of the world is not so blind, honoring him with parades and several Nobel Peace Prize nominations, the irony being, that corrupted as the award has become, the nominations are actually worth more than the prize itself. When seen through the lens of history, if the current election fraud is successful, and Biden takes office, Trump’s foreign policy will look like a rose between the two thorns of Obama and Biden, if only temporarily, as the new Democratic Socialist party revises history to reflect its own “new” truth.

    1. 1 of the Bigest Problems is communist China has been pushing trash into schools for 30 years or More about how wonderful Socialist life is to are young children AND NEVER TOLD THE ABOUT THE BAD PART OF SOCIAIST LIFE !!!

  2. According to the bible a enemy from the north will launch a attack on our country with middle named HAMMER and it will devastate the whole country. . saying we are close to the end of time. Ok this is me. But how many times have we heard this . I have no doubt it will eventually happen . it has to look how stupid things have gotten over greed and power. All these ass wholes want to do is start trouble!!! Like our own government all racist shit always shows up around a election time. I don’t know about the most of you but I have had real good friends of all colors. AND I even took the time to find someone to help understand languages I could not understand translater . I have helped , worked, and invited them to cook out ‘s I have always to get along with everyone. Hell the worst one I found to get along with was my own brother after he only had cans of beer. Then it was just like flipping a light switch. From the best person to be around to the worst . I TRULY think the world would have been a better place without the filthy rich. AND money the ROOT OF ALL EVIL and I do truly believe that. If America would have stayed with a barter system that would make everyone at the same level unless you were to lazy to get off YOUR butts and work for something to trade with. But NOPE HERE COMES GREED the same kind of people that started politicking in the way old day the greedy started taking what ever they could take and steal . the bad part they still do it today. Take for theirselves to fuel their WANTS AND DON’T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THE CITIZENS. NEEDS. NEEDS NOT WANTS. WE THE LABORERS ARE THE ONES THAT BUSTED OR BUTTS BUILDING AMERICA. AND politics take the claim for that . just because they sit on their butts and say I financed that yep with OUR MONEY THEY stole from the public with always higher taxes. So they can have parties and lavish things and give kick backs to their contributions ALL AT OUR EXPENSE. WHY DO WE EVEN NEED POLITICIANS they do nothing but start problems not only with Americans but all the way around the world . they can’t KEEP THEIR NOSES OUT OF PEOPLES BUISSNESS AND ALWAYS WANT SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. OUR MOMEY FOR THEIR TAX FOR THEIR ONW USE . That is the real problem in every country around RHIS planet. Is GOVERNMENT’s. Give that a good think’N and not at a pol9 level we know what THEY WANT AND WE KNOW WE NEED BETTER. SEE WANTS AND NEEDS 2 VERY DIFFERENT THINGS . AND POLITICIANS don’t give a crap about us we are ALL A NUMBER to them. AND lie lie lie . point fingers tell and dream they WANT to raise taxes and price everything higher . AND those politicians never seen to grow up because of never have been out and working labor job and that should be a least a 10 year minimum before being able to become a politician . so REALLY KNOW WHAT THE HELL ITS LIKE OUT HERE IN THE REAL WORLD.!!!!
    Good Day And Everyone Stay Safe.

  3. But if Biden becomes President it will be to no avail. Biden will destroy virtually all that Trump created. He is Satan’s destructive mannequin. The Democrats are his army. The BEAST (the Fake News Crowd) is his Mouth Piece. Through them he gives his orders to his troops and his disinformation to his foes. We are his foes as is God, Christ, and all that is decent and free!

  4. The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery ProgramERP) was an American initiative passed in 1948 for foreign aid to Western Europe. The United States transferred over $12 billion (equivalent to $130 billion in 2019) in economic recovery programs to Western Europe

    2020 Central Europe will straightened by USA military power.PEACET HROUGH STRAIGHT

  5. President Trump has an innate understanding of the ways one nation can develop lasting amicable relations with another nation. He’s the first president in my lifetime to actually do this as a matter of foreign policy. And he has proven this multiple times even with nations not even considered by previous presidents such as China, North Korea, and then his crowning achievement: a solid and lasting peace in the Middle East among countries that have been thought to be out of reach to mutually beneficial peace accords — Israel, Bahrain, UAE with an olive branch extended to Iran.

    He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for this, but so far I’ve heard nothing more about it. I’m sure it has been ignored by our delightful news media that has a visceral hatred of him for making them look like the fools they are.

  6. I do hope we won’t have to to wait for Christmas to experience a Wonderful Life.
