Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has called for US nuclear weapons to be deployed to Poland in response to Russia sending tactical nukes to Belarus.
Morawiecki said Warsaw wants to join NATO’s nuclear sharing program, under which US nuclear weapons are deployed in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
“Since Russia intends to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, we again call on all of NATO to take part in the nuclear sharing program,” Morawiecki told reporters on Friday.
“The final decision will depend on our American and NATO partners. We declare our will to act quickly in this matter,” he added.
Warsaw has previously called for the deployment of US nukes on its territory, and Polish President Andrzej Duda said last year that he had discussed the issue with Washington.
There are currently no US nuclear weapons deployed in countries that joined NATO after the end of the Cold War, but that could change as the alliance is building up its presence in countries that border Ukraine and Russia, known as NATO’s eastern flank.
So far, Biden administration officials have maintained that it has seen no reason to adjust the US nuclear posture in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to send nukes to Belarus, a decision he compared to NATO nuclear sharing.
Poland government would do well to educate themselves on NATO – they’d discover that Nazi war criminals became high ranking commanders in NATO after WW2.
Could you share a supporting data for this statement?
Course I can….
If that wet your appetite….

“Poland Wants to Host US Nuclear Weapons in Response to Russian Nukes in Belarus – Warsaw wants to join NATO’s nuclear sharing program”
This must be a Pollock joke. No sane government would actively seek or even want to make their country a target for nuclear obliteration.
Polish politicians are like a not so bright kid in high school. Someone put a Kick Me sign on their back, but in this case it is voluntary to wear the Kick Me sign.
Makes no sense doesn’t it?
To me it’s far more likely that the Polish government is simply there to make the announcement of a decision that’s been made elsewhere.
Very likely. And it also seems Poland learned nothing during and after WW2.
Oh the learned a lot. Especially Not to trust Russia ever again.
It requires a lot of stupidity to trust the USA. But maybe the pay check is big enough to be stupid.
They learned nothing, not even lately when the US stabs NATO allies in the back. Smart governments would get out of NATO as FAST fast as they can. The USA will throw NATO under the train after they get their hands on Russia’s natural resources.
The only way out of NATO is in a body bag.
Real statemen would never have let it come to this. The USA/NATO governments are in the hands of criminals with a few exceptions. The one outstanding real statesman is Orban of Hungary. The members of the German government and the old opposition parities SPD/CDU/CSU prostituted themselves to Biden and his neocons.
A NATO nuclear sharing program? There is no such thing, the US is 100% in control of their nuclear weapons in Germany and every other country they are stationed. The Poles are stupid and greedy.
Maybe the French and the Brits are not really in charge of their own nuclear weapons and have to ask NATO permission TO USE THEM.
I really don’t understand why we need to make Russia more nervous than it already is. How does putting them into a use it or lose it scenario with 4 minutes to make the decision improve our security.
And you are just coming to that realization now?
Not at all, US nuclear policy has been madness for decades. We seem to be trying to put ourselves in a position to “win” and it is destabilizing. I wasn’t a big fan of NATO existing after the Warsaw Pact evaporated not a big fan of EU NATO expansion eastward, but once borders are crossed like in the Ukraine that is a whole different issue.
Actually you were doing well right up to your last sentence, which refutes the argument you were making with the previous statements.
You are suggesting that because the US did what you describe, anyone who acts against it is guilty of over reacting.
Completely illogical. You push someone into a corner until they have absolutely no options other than to surrender, and then condemn them when they react with the only remaining option they possess.
Totally illogical.
Putin puts niukes in Belarus. Not a big deal. Let West put nukes in Poland and the sky is going to fall.
Well, Putin started this sh!t. Expect a tit for tat response.
“Well, Putin started this sh!t.”
US nuclear weapons are deployed in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
And even the Biden administration said as much:
So far, Biden administration officials have maintained that it has seen no reason to adjust the US nuclear posture in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to send nukes to Belarus, a decision he compared to NATO nuclear sharing.
Don’t tell me that, tell it to your team here crying over Poland asking for Nukes after Belarus decided to host Russian nukes next to Poland.
And if Europe wants to have Nukes then they can have their Nukes. Russia only has over 16,000 nuclear warheads just next to Europe and it makes nuclear threats ALL the time.
Good answer. It doesn’t address anything I said, but good answer. Now tell me again how Putin started this shit. And remember, “this shit” is nuclear sharing.
The US started it a long time ago. FYI
Yeah, let Russia do whatever the f it wants because the US started it long time ago. Zero accountability from now on.
To be blunt, PUTIN IS RATIONAL, DEMENTED BIDEN and his irrational NULAND clan mentors are irrational. Biden is a walking nuclear time bomb which irrational Nuland could ignite any time.
Do you listen to yourself? First you say “Putin started this shit” and then you admit the US started it long ago. But now you think there should be accountability?
You act as if some of us “care”.
If NATO wants to shift some stuff to Poland, who cares?
Putin shifted some stuff to Belarus, that’s no big efing deal as well.
NATO’s nuclear sharing program, under which US nuclear weapons are deployed in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
“psst …. look what i got right here!”
….. uncle sam
NATO does not share nuclear weapons, the USA alone has total control over US nuclear weapons, including if and when to use them.
France and the UK have their own nukes.
The British delivery systems for those nukes are American. Maintenance is also American. Essentially, those nukes are not operational without the USA. So…. not really independent at all. As I recall, the fission triggers are from American material.
French do have the “Force de frappe”.
Someone needs to wipe that brown crap from Poland’s nose.
Tell that to a Polish to his/her face.
You act as if I’m scared like you.
I have been around very bad people in max (was even friends with a few); have you?
It takes a lot to make me scared of people and that involves weapons…lol.
Masters of hatred (in Europe at least).
Every nuclear weapon is also a target, they must know that, why do it, who benefits?
One thing the NATO nations have in common, with few exceptions they are governed by criminals. They are the hired hands of the Davos billionaires aka donors, they make the $$$ bills rain down.
It seems Poland wants to be invaded by Russia….!
I know, there’s a lot of invading going on. Russia loves it.
