I like the Poles, but what good has trying to be the Polish Savior ever done anyone? The Brits let the French dismember Germany and transfer territory to Poland and then declared war on Germany when the Germans made a deal with the Soviets to take it all back, along with everything else. That brilliant move cost them their Empire, their treasury and uncountable lives. For the Poles.
We don't have skin in that game except for the troops that we park there to enrich the thieves in Congress. We already attacked the Serbs at German behest and deeply angered Russia by breaking our word not to move NATO troops east. Our media is running a campaign against Russia, and fails to put its moves into context of the German driven NATO expansion. The USA does not trade with Poland, we need nothing from Poland or with Europe in general. Poland is a modern country fully capable of making the price of invasion too high and we do not need to be caught up in the ongoing German - EU aggression against the Russians. And we most definitely need to get our troops and nukes out of Turkey.
As for Korea, all of these alliances is how wars start in spite of no one wanting them. Like Poland, South Korea could tighten one last bolt and be invasion proof. Not one of those places is worth the men that we lost 'saving' them from the Reds and the idea of another conventional war in Asia is crazy. We need to be in our own territory behind our own defenses building our own future shackled to no one's agenda.
I am from Poland.you have problems with Europe history.so:
1.After WW1 Poland do nt get german lands,but polish lands occupied by prussia and later germany.
2.Our HQ during WW2 was mostly idiots, but they manage hold almost all of german army in Poland.If France attacked, war would end in few months, maybe weeks.
3.two times Germany started war in Europe, and twice USA must send soldiers there.Now, they are in Germany to prevent them from starting WW3.
4.Poland is capable of defeating russian attack,but not combined russia/ germany attack, or use of H bombs - becouse we do not have them.So,USA must stay here till we get enough nukes to prevent Putin from attack.Becouse russian do not stop with genociding us, but create with Germany european empire which threaten USA.
FDR toss us to soviets, becouse he thought that they only massacre us.They did it,but later they planned starting WW3 and destroing USA.
5.EU means Germany,and Germany want alliance with Putin,not war.
6.Turkey decided to become new Ottoman empire - so here you are right.
But you are right - USA should think about USA interest.And precisely for that interests keep both Poland and South Korea safe.
P.S we like USA in Poland,but we remember how they gave us to soviets for nothing.FDR was idiot,allies should be sold,not given for free.
Because damn near all of their overseas duty was in Germany. With a few that went to South Korea.
