It comes down to the whole mutually assured destruction thing - even moreso if it's US troops stationed in Poland to watch these things. In the case of a nuclear war, we'd be gone anyways. Crimea got annexed (arguably, probably should have stayed Russian to begin with), and who knows what happening in eastern Ukraine. If your neighbors house gets broken into, you suddenly start worrying about the security of your own house...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland...ssia_relations The relationship between Poland and Russia has historically been shitty to say the least - this won't help it I'm sure, but what can you do... I have no control over if we get nukes or not. Like most countries, there's only 2 political parties that count, and many smaller ones. In our case, we get to choose between thieves (previous gov't) and crazies (current gov't). Old gov't would have put 500k islamic migrants in Poland, New one will start a war with Russia because of a conspiracy theory about a plane crash... Poland can't catch a break
