Poland is trying to keep U.S. engaged in Europe – and paying for it | Martin Sklenár https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/90df960e-0da4-4477-b85c-07b32e9b56dd As debates intensify over U.S. military presence in Europe, concerns are growing that certain policy moves may disproportionately affect key frontline allies like Poland. Is Warsaw being unfairly targeted as Washington pressures Europe to take on more responsibility? “This is actually putting pressure not only on Poland itself, but on NATO and other Europeans (…) it’s really not fair to be putting the pressure on Poland, who’s the leader and frontrunner in defense spending,” Martin Sklenár, Slovakia’s former defense minister, told TVP World, discussing U.S. troop policy and its implications for European allies. Can Warsaw help maintain American commitment to European defense? How important is U.S. engagement for Europe’s security? And can Poland lead strategic dialogue within NATO? Join our host Don Arleth and his guest, as they explore U.S. strategy in Europe, NATO burden-sharing, and Poland’s growing leadership role.
