this is why nato enlargement to any slavic-speaking country, with the exceptions of bohemia/czechia and slovenia, which is basically italy, is a mistake.

the slavs will eventually realign with moscow, leaving western europe with a giant bill and the us with a pile of forfeited technology. 

if the americans are smart, they will get as much technology out of poland as they can now, before it's too late.
