Truly agreed! It has to be you, Poland. Having been destroyed so many times, you've learned nothing at all.
Polish President Nawrocki officially signed the resolution, agreeing to the deployment of NATO forces on Polish territory. This deployment is included in the framework of Operation Eastern Sentinel, aimed at strengthening NATO's eastern flank defense.
The resolution was classified, and specific troop numbers and locations were not disclosed.
However, sources have revealed that France, Germany, Denmark, and the Czech Republic have clearly participated in the reinforcement, including fighter jets, air defense systems, and helicopter forces.
NATO Secretary General Rutte had previously emphasized that this move is a direct response to recent Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace, symbolizing NATO's effort to form a united front on the eastern European frontline.
Poland's historical memory is touching. Since the 18th century, Poland has repeatedly been partitioned and destroyed due to its position between Germany and Russia. During World War II, it fell under the dual pressure of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Theoretically, such history should make Poland more cautious in its strategy, but the reality shows that the path they have chosen is essentially no different from before — relying on great powers, expecting external protection, yet often becoming a sacrifice at critical moments.
Now, they are turning their own country into a NATO forward base, seemingly proactive, but in fact, it may mean losing the room for autonomous choice again.
In comparison, Ukraine gradually moved towards the West after 2014 but never truly entered the NATO system, eventually finding itself in a dilemma and pushed to the frontline of war.
Although Poland has a NATO treaty as nominal protection, if the conflict between Russia and Europe escalates completely, the possibility of war affecting Poland cannot be ruled out either.
In fact, the more forward-deployed, the more like a disposable item. Poland's move is increasingly similar to Ukraine's situation of taking bullets for others. So, if a real war breaks out, will NATO get involved? Deployment does not necessarily mean they will take action.
