In the Virginian Pilot today, in a small article inside the main section of the paper-in a spot that could be easily overlooked, it is reported that the US and Poland seem to have agreed to send "US ground forces to Poland as part of an expansion of NATO's presence in Central and Eastern Europe". This action has been triggered by the events in the Ukraine. It is noted that this is a "political decision" with the military planners coming up with details. And I voted for Obama because I believed he would be less likely to expand the nation's wars. I guess I was wrong. How do we figure the Russians will respond when a former "ally" and border state is now willing to accept US forces? Maybe we wouldn't mind if the Russians sent troops to Cuba or Venezuela or some other country on our border?
