US Air Defense Base in Poland
The article reports that the United States opened a new air defense base in Poland on November 13 to protect NATO countries. This is especially important at a time when Russia is waging war in neighboring Ukraine.
It is noted that the opening of this base symbolizes the fact that Poland's military alliance with the United States remains strong, regardless of who is in charge of the White House. At the same time, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that it took a long time, but the construction proves the geostrategic determination of the United States.
"The Polish-American alliance is strong, regardless of who is in charge in Warsaw or Washington," the minister added.
On November 13, we will be opening the missile defence base in Redzikowo.

Sikorski recently said that the issue of intercepting Russian missiles over Ukraine by NATO member states may be raised at the next NATO ministerial meeting next week.
At the same time, congressmen from the Democratic and Republican parties appealed to US President Joe Biden to allow Poland to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine.
