Poland's statement about the purchase and deployment of American tanks does not surprise any more. Similar initiatives were announced back in summer. In addition, Poland has long pursued a policy of militarization and seeks to create some sort of strongpoint on the border with the help of Americans.
Belarus should consider such actions as aggressive and unfriendly. This opinion is voiced by political analyst Alexey Belyaev.
Alexey Belyaev, political scientist, associate professor of political science at BSEU: "Poland acts very zealously in order to support the U.S. initiative to militarize the European region even more. The American presence in Poland is also quite large. We know the about 5,000 U.S. military personnel on are constantly present in Poland. We know that Poland during Donald Trump's presidency was active in proposing to place a permanent military base here. Abrams tanks are quite expensive, because the average cost of such a modern model tank is more than $6 million. It turns out that a billion and a half dollars is a pleasure to host 250 of the latest American Abrams tanks. Of course, the question is where Poland will take this money from? Most likely it will be a question of borrowing. And, of course, such steps can be regarded as unfriendly for Belarus."
